Chapter One
Metz P.O.V.
----------I watched the children training, Dia was reading, Luke and Leah were training their muscles, and little Jade was trying to improve what could not be refined. Jade was trying to keep balance on the log that Cherit was running on. Just then I noticed that little Jade was wearing her father's determined face. I couldn't help but smile. Then I noticed that Dia was reading comic books that were from my time. I walked over and took them from her. She wasn't happy, "Metz," she wined in her high pitched voice, "Why do you hate me?" The Veil girls were opposites. Dia wanted to be spoiled, but no one would spoil her. Everyone wanted to help Jade, but she only let Cherit. Jade worked for everything she wanted. The children have never seen anyone else except from pictures, not even their family. But I knew that today everything would change.
----------I let in the two elite seekers, Veronica Tony and Scarlett Burne. They would train the kids more than I could, and in exchange I would let them stay here. I introduced the children to the women. Scarlett would train the Veil girls and Veronica the twins. I warned Scarlett that Dia could be pretty stuck up. Just then I found out the next mission Scarlett was going on, she would try to sneak the Titan, Aracnos, from the Professor's old hideout. But I wondered if the kids would be ready for it. Jade, definitely, but her sister was another problem. I watched as the girls climbed into the car, and ride away.
Jade P.O.V.
----------I looked out the window of the convertible, as Miss Burne calls it. Dia was eating chips and reading a picture book. She looked like your average six-year-old. I pulled out a book of the future called the Hunger Games. I seriously barely believed it, but it was one of the few that we owned, so I read it. Five hours later we pull up in a campground. She whispers to us that we will slip off in the middle of the night, since we are now five miles from the Professor's old house.
----------Much later, we slip off and go through the forest and I see a huge castle. We go inside through the hole in the wall, made by my father's protege', Lok Lambert, flying through the wall. I notice a pile of dust and say, "Findshape." I was so surprised by it. Right now I guess I can mention something, if its a spell I may randomly use it. The dust takes the form of a ram-like amulet. This must be the destroyed Sabriel that Metz mentioned. Then I notice in the actual dust there is a gold and ruby ring, possibly Aracnos. I make the mistake of leaning over and grabbing it. Definitely Aracnos, but I race over to Miss Burne and show her. She's glad that it bonded with a sensible person. Just then, the person who runs the Organization (Eleana Judeao) bursts in with fifty people in matching suits. Now I'm glad for my training, I summon Garion, Solwing, and King Basilisk (A/N ok, so I know that Zhalia is supposed to have it, but in my version Zurrita does and she gives it to Jade), while Dia summons just Garion and Solwing, but Ms. Burne summons Gai-Bolg, and the Arial that Metz loaned her. The suits are startled but Mrs. Judeao says, "Get the little girls, they are Dante Veil's daughters!" She knew my dad? They summon their titans and charge us. Good thing is that I know how to fight. I took down twenty suits before they knew it. But Dia (because of lack of training) was instantly subdued. Scarlett dropped something and raced to me. She picked me up and jumped out the hole and we started running off, when it exploded behind us. I was glad the brat was dead.
----------When we were back in the tent, Scarlett asked me to call her just that, Scarlett. She told me how she met my parents and how kind Dad was, until he got in a fight. Then she told me about how crabby my mom was until she quit the Organization, then she became kinder to everyone else. But she never really got along with Luke and Leah's mom, Sophie Casterwill. Sophie was really stuck up and it was because of Lok's nerve to fall asleep in history class, and then later ask for help studying, that made him a seeker and husband of the girl he asked help from, her. If he didn't fall asleep in history class, or if he didn't ask for help, they would have never talked, and never met Dad. Plus it was because of Lok that Dad had to go to Prague and meet Mom, and Aunt Zhalia. Scarlett even showed me a picture of them after they beat the Professor, they looked so happy, this was the first time I saw a picture of them all together. Scarlett gave me the picture and the next morning we went home.
Dante's P.O.V.
----------I opened my eyes, I was so weak. Lok was the last one of us caught, and the only reason why he didn't leave is that he gave all of his stuff to his father. Speaking of him, I looked to my right. I saw him through the bars tied up with the same enchanted vine that we all were. Zurrita was across from me and Sophie from him. The women wake up and we look at each other. The vine is wrapped around us so much that we can't even talk. It loosens three times a day so we can eat without any help, but we are heavily guarded then. After eating breakfast, the guards left and the vines start to tighten when Zurrita (who is extremely skinny) slips between the bars, away from the vines. She runs to the key rack and grabs them. She unlocks Lok's cage, then Sophie's, and then mine. She burns the vines and we all grab our titans (that they so thoughtfully left unguarded) and slipped out the window. I had a lot of money, and so we flew back to Germany, since we knew that at Metz's place we were safe. We arrived very late and Metz let us in warning us that the kids were asleep. We were let into rooms and we all fell asleep.
----------I woke up and saw that it was mid-afternoon. I slipped out of bed without waking Zurrita and walked down to the kitchen. In there I saw Metz cooking a meal for the kids. I walked up, "I would say good morning, but it isn't morning." Metz smiled, "Ah, Dante, you are finally awake." After a while talking I found out that we were asleep for eight days. It was Sunday and the twins were training in the backyard with Veronica, their new trainer, and Jade was in the library with Scarlett scrap-booking, but when I asked about Diamond, Metz lost his bubbles. He told me about the mission to the castle. When the others got down here Metz took Sophie and Lok out to be with their kids, and then took us to the library and called in, "Jade, Scarlett, there are some guests who want to see you." We came in and Scarlett exclaimed, "Dante! Zurrita! You're alive!" But the little purple eyed girl looked at us like we were ghosts. Zurrita said, "Hello Scarlett, only because the under fed us, I slipped between the bars." I nodded and next thing I knew, my little girl was clinging to my torn trench coat. I picked her up and hugged her along with Zurrita.
----------Ten minutes later we are telling what happened to us. Lok, Sophie, Luke, Leah, and Veronica were there too. We were after more titans. These belonged to a girl who cried for months after finding our she was a seeker. But finally she accepted her fate, and when she was fifteen she came pack to the place where she cried and she was killed there. Her ghost guarded her titans on top of the Trail of Broken Tears in the Amazon. We split up, boys and girls. Next thing we knew, the suits ambushed us. Thanks to Kipperin coming out not being called, Lok made it out. But when he was high up they hit Kipperin and Lok fell five hundred meters breaking an ankle and getting badly bruised everywhere else. That's when his dad and him were re-united. Soon as Lok was better, the suits got too close and he gave everything to his father, then distracting the suits, allowing Eathon to escape. I picked up Jade who had been on the ground and whispered to go outside with the other two.
Jade's P.O.V.
----------I was outside with Luke, Leah, and Cherit. Just as I was about to knock the other two down, Cherit pulled my hair. Just then I saw the Lambert family. On one of my missions (it was at the lake Ness) Lok's sister Cathy, and his older brother Jaun (John), got exposed to the world of seekers and titans. I smiled and shouted, "Cathy! Jaun! Mrs. Lambert! Eathon! How are you?" I raced inside just as I saw L'Blanche, Santiago, and Zhalia. I rushed to Dad and said, "The Lamberts, L'Blanche, Santiago, and Aunt Zhalia are here!" Everyone looked was pretty surprised. Pretty soon, the mentioned people knocked on the door. I sighed, this was going to be a long day.
A/N:I now have two people with the name Jade. I guess it's because I love that name. My computer was out of reach for a while, hence the long wait.
