Mini Sequel to the book "Dark Life"
Ty smiled at the three year old Richard, who walked over to Gemma. Gemma had convinced Ty to name their son Richard after her brother. They had been married for five years now and tonight was their anniversary. They were going to have Zoe babysit. An hour later, Zoe came through the moon pool and shucked off her dive skin and her helmet. She walked into the living room.
"Hey Zoe," Ty smiled as he picked up Richard.
"Hey Ty," Zoe replied. "I'll see you guys in a couple of hours. Richard is in good hands."
"Thank you Zoe, we really appreciate it," Gemma said smiling.
"No problem any time. You guys have fun."
"Thanks sis," Ty said putting on his dive skin and liquigen tank. Gemma did the same. They said their farewells to Richard and Zoe. They put on their helmets and sucked in the liquigen. They dove into the moon pool and disappeared from Zoe's sight. They went to Coldsleep Canyon. Richard ran to Zoe.
"Aunt Zoe can we play a game?"
"Of course we can. What do you want to play?"
"Hide and seek."
"Ok go hide."
"No you go hide."
"Ok fine." Zoe went and hid. Richard went from room to room clicking. He had his eyes closed and he found her. Still with his eyes closed he hugged her.
"Richard how did you find me with your eyes closed?"
"I can see the room with my eyes closed."
"Ok."
-Break line-
Gemma and Ty arrived home three hours later and Zoe walked up to them.
"Did you know Richard had a dark gift just like you Ty?" Zoe asked.
"No how did you find out about this Zoe?" Ty asked worriedly.
"We were playing hide and seek and when he found me he had his eyes closed. He seemed like he knew how to use it pretty well. Like he just didn't discover he had this talent."
"Where is Richard?" Gemma asked.
"He's asleep in his bed room." Zoe explained.
"Thanks Zoe."
"Welcome," Zoe said as she got in her dive skin and put on her helmet and left. Gemma and Ty went up to Richard's room.
"Hi Mommy, hi Daddy," Richard said happily.
"Hey buddy, how come you never told Daddy that you could see with your eyes closed?" Ty asked Richard.
"I thought I was special and that's why I always want to hide and seek. It's easy to find you," Richard smiled.
"You are special baby, but you could have told us 'cause daddy can do the same thing. You are my special boys. Okay?" Gemma explained.
"Okay Mommy," Richard said. Gemma and Ty laid in bed with him and fell asleep.
I finished reading "Dark Life" yesterday and I was inspired to write a sequel where Ty and Gemma were married and had a kid with a dark gift. Please tell me how you liked it. I will enjoy your feed back.
