So here's the Sequel to Beyond the Cobble Stone Pathways [BtCSP, for short]

Here's the full summary ^-^:

It takes place two years after the events of BtCSP. Zak still hasn't talked about what happened during those three days in Weird World. He's still scarred and doens't want to talk about it, even mentioning it makes him upset. Drew feels he might feel better if he talks about it. However though intentions good Drew's constant pestering only opens fresh wounds. To top it all off someone/something Celestic apparently knows appears from nowhere and Argost has set his sights on her. Will the Celestial Envoy be able to protect the Temporal Keeper? Or will she fall into Argost's clutches. Read and find out!

Part 1- Vacation and a Hate Filled Confession

"Zak you better be careful!" Drew called to her son who was hover boarding on the water's surface. The thirteen year old smiled and sped up much to Drew's disdain. "Maybe Doyle training him was a bad idea…" She sighed tapping her gloved hand on the beach table. They'd come here on a mission but Doc was in a meeting of some sort and the people only invited him in.

Zak smirked as he revved through the water, making the board cut through the waves. Suddenly a shadow was covering the side of his body that faced out to sea. The teen barely had time to look to see a large red and white creature roaring and baring down one him.

"Holy sh-" He was cut off as both him, the hover board, and the creature went under. Seconds passed before, the black and white haired boy along with the hover board and the creature where bursting through the waters surface.

The creature was above Zak in the next instant shaking its fur. "Ah hah, I got you good!" the creature laughed.

"Celestic!" Zak fumed, yet still grinned, yeah Celestic did get him good. He got back up on the board and shook himself much like the Envoy had done. Oh I bet you're wondering, yes Celestic is back! He's a part of the family now and has been living with them for a year and a half. Anyways back to the adventure.

The hover board revved up and he continued on, Celestic now in his smaller form flying by him. The fox got in front of the teen and stuck his tongue out at him. The youth furrowed his brow and smirked, getting the board to go as fast as it could he raced Celestic down the shore.

Drew smiled as they continued on, she shifted her gaze to a certain gorilla cat that was munching away on mangos. One rolled over to a sunbathing Komodo who sniffed the fruit before turning up his scaly nose. He rose to his feet and lumbered away trying to get away from the fruit. Fiskerton just shrugged and continued his gorging.

Zon was busy trying to build a nest in one of the trees that lined the shore, which often ended in failure. Either with the collapse of her vacation home or her patients running dry and she herself destroying her abode.

Her gaze shifted back to Zak, who was zipping every which away and looking like he was having a good time, he'd won the race and was gloating to Celestic who finally grew tired and pushed him into the water. The teen's head resurfaced, then there was shouting to which Celestic smirked crossing his sodden furry arms. The argument proceeded when Zak grabbed one of the Envoy's many tails and jerked him under.

Her smile suddenly faded as she watched her boy. He most certainly looked like her little boy, before all hell broke loose when he was eleven. He seemed normal during daylight, but at night she could hear him tossing and turning, begging for an unknown attacker to stop. Most likely it was Argost that he was having nightmares about, but oddly enough he never mentioned a name during those sessions during twilight. And he hadn't talked once about what happened that those three days in Weird World.

She rested her cheek on her hand and sighed. Maybe therapy would get him to open up. Then again he was the type who was clever enough not to allow his brain to be taken apart by some therapist. Even mention of the word had him reeling and ready to fight. He'd insisted that he didn't need one, if he didn't want to talk about it to them, then he wasn't going to talk about it to some damn therapist.

He was grounded for five days, for saying damn. Though he didn't seem to mind and went without TV with no complaints. In fact he was studying more, he seemed more intrigued about Cryptids these days. His room had maps on the wall each pinned with locations he wanted to visit.

Perhaps for a vacation similar to this one, or to discover new Cryptids, to which the boy wanted to name after himself. And she prayed to god he never found an undiscovered one silently, unless he didn't name it after himself.

However the thoughts of what happened to her baby in Weird World still crept back, actually her thoughts on both that and what happened with both Argost and Zak had been sucked back into the 'second world' as Celestic had called it.

One of her other prayers would be that Zak would open up to either her or Doc, she hoped he opened up to the both of them at the same time. Because one telling the other what Zak had told them just seemed dirty and mean.

Another sigh escaped her lips and she looked off into the distant sky. Thoughts still buzzing around her head, things maybe she could do to get him to talk without making him angry. How to comfort him if he ever did open up, and so forth.

"Whoa mom you spacing out?" Her head snapped up and she looked at her son, who was panting and drenched. Good thing he'd changed into swim shorts, she barely got him to do just that he was so eager to try out the hover board Doyle got him for his thirteenth birthday.

She wondered where Celestic had gone off too and got her answer when she heard more than just Fiskerton munching. The tiny fox child was trying his hardest to eat the mango with his canines. Which became very awkward for the vulpine and he eventually tossed the mangled fruit into the air with a sigh, ears flat in defeat.

She hadn't realized but she was spacing again, more this time about her brother. He'd taken off a week ago for a little R&R himself. Hopefully he was staying out of trouble. She needed some girlfriends there were just to many guys in the family, the only girls were her and Zon.

"Uh mom you're doing it again." His voice brought her back to reality. Suddenly his arms were crossed and he looked down at her eyebrow cocked. "You only look that way when you're worrying about family. Is it Doyle or…is it me?"

She winced, right on the nail, damn he was good at taking apart minds without even trying. Which was quite frightening, he hadn't ever done that before Weird World. He let out a sigh uncrossing his arms. "I'm fine." He insisted. "How many times to I have to tell you guys. I'm A okay!"

That got all the family's attention. Fiskerton stopped his eating to stare, sticky juice covering his front side along with mango bits. Celestic stopped batting at the half eaten sand covered mango, to glance. Zon stopped the current destruction of her summer home to let out a questioning coo. Komodo simply lifted his head up lazily to watch what happened next.

"Then why don't you tell me or your father what happened in Weird World?" Drew asked narrowing her eyes at her son. Zak let out a breath, long and slow. She could see tears sparkling in his sapphire orbs.

"I. don't. want. to," the boy said slowly, he wiped an arm quickly over his face before continuing to look at her. "and I don't have to tell you anything. Because it's none of your business what went on in that evil place."

"Telling one of us could make you feel better. Hell at least tell Fiskerton or one of your siblings!" Her voice raised suddenly, when she realized this she clasped her hands over her mouth, she hadn't meant to. Suddenly he exploded, his anger getting the best of him.

He slammed his hands on the table and looked her right in the eyes. "I don't want to relive what happened there," Zak growled, tears unable to be held back sliding down. "I have a right not too. You think your time in Weird World was bad? It was nothing compared to what happened to me, did you know I begged for death?" Her eyes grew wide. He'd actually begged for death? Was it that bad?

"Yes I actually begged that madman to kill me by the first night! And you know what I was thinking that whole time? During those three hellish days? Where is my family? Oh they'll rescue me, something must be happening to them that's why." She sucked in a breath her eyes growing wide. He continued, getting her attention by slamming a fist down. Her head snapped back to him, his sapphire eyes were blazing with a feeling she couldn't quite pinpoint, but rage was defiantly in the mix.

"But I was wrong…nothing was happening to you, I worried for my family while I was experiencing hell, I even tried to escape and experienced more hell for it! And what did you do? You sat at the house and did nothing !" He took in deep breaths his anger beginning to fade.

"The other Secret Scientists didn't-" She couldn't finish, his sapphire orbs were blazing with anger once more.

"Since when has that ever stopped you and dad?!" the boy growled gritting his teeth. His brow furrowed upwards in sorrow before quickly furrowing in anger. "It stopped you when you supposed precious child was in danger? When it actually mattered! Huh…I see."

The boy straightened up he turned around and stalked off, but before hopping back onto his hover board and take off, he turned back around. "Now I wish I'd ever worried for you guys…" He was on the board in the next instant and back in the water zooming down the shoreline. He needed some time for himself to think. He punched his chest as he continued on, damn heart, he was beginning to feel guilty.

Drew watched him go, unbeknown to her tears were streaming down her peach face at a rapid pace. She felt so guilty…so horrid. So these were the feelings her son had kept repressed for two years. Just what had Argost done to her boy?

Yeah Doc is only mentioned like a few times X3. So yeah while he's in the meeting family is having a little R&R time without him, poor Solomon no rest for him ^-^ Review Plz.
