Ally pov

"Who's Rydeliyah?" I questioned.

Austin went pale.

Everyone stayed silent.

"Your daughter," Austinn replied barely above a whisper.

My daughter?!

"My what?" I asked unable to believe what I heard.

"You and Hunter had a daughter," Vanessa said slowly.

I stared at all of them.

I tried to say something, anything, but no sound came out.

"What happened to her?" I said finally.

Austin sighed. "We had to trap her in a time paradox so that she won't get older. She's still just a baby. We wanted you to be able to raise her after you found out."

"We were hoping that you never remembered Rydel until after everything with the werewolves was settled," Piper added.

I stared at the ground not saying a thing.

"Ally?" Vanessa said placing a hand on my shoulder.

Vanessa went up to Ally. "Ally?"

She didn't respond.

Then I saw her lips move.

I strained to hear what she said.

"I want to see her."

"But you-" Vanessa started to say something but I cut her off.

"Follow me. I'll take you to see her."

Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

But I have to admit, I told everyone that going to see Rydel was strictly forbidden.

I turned and started walking and everyone else followed.

My mind went blank as we got closer to our destination.

Of all things she just had to remember Rydel.

We reached the cave. It was always guarded by five people even though werewolves can't step foot in there.

Soon, too soon if you ask me, we reached the room.

Silvery blue beams of magic held Rydel suspended in time in the middle of the small pond.

I walked straight into it. I was the only one who could penetrate time without getting lost in it.

I hurriedly grabbed Rydel and got out.

And as soon as I stepped out she started to move again. I carried her to Ally.

Austin came up to me with Rydel.

He had a look of pain in his eyes.

"Girls stay here with Ally for the night," he muttered walking out.

I held the little baby in my arms.

"So Ally what are you and Dallas?" Vanessa asked with a weird look on her face.

"We knew eachother a little, but we're just supposed to marry for the kingdom. To unite them."

"No feelings for him?" Trish asked slowly.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

Why are they asking this?

"Not much maybe like a little crush. Why?"

"No reason." Piper said quickly.

I was going to say something else when Rydel's cooing distracted me.


Austin pov

Seeing Rydel always puts me on the edge.

I don't know why either.

She's just a baby.

I walked back outside and went pass the guards. Not paying attention to Riker calling out for me to stop.

Why should I?


Ally pov (a few hours later)

"So what does this Hunter guy look like?" I asked.

"Well he's tall and handsome?" Kira said unsure of what to say.

"As Austin would say you can't know yet," Vanessa said.

"Why?" I asked, a bit mad now.

"It speeds up your memories," Piper explained, "Which can kill you. Slowly and very painfully."

I huffed.

Suddenly I saw a figure coming at us.

Trish and Kira were about to get up.

"I wouldn't move if I were you," he said.

As he came into the light I could see that he had a gun pointed at Vanessa.

"Move and she dies," he said.

No one did anything.

"I only came here for her," he said pointing at me.

The next thing I knew Rydel was out of my arms and that guy had me.

That's all I remember before everything went black.
