Little Paige was brought home a few days later, and everyone was
ecstatic. Tori and Blake couldn't believe how great the twins were with
her. Hailey hardly ever put her down, and Owen was constantly fretting over
her. The only time they disliked her was at night. The room across from
Hailey and Owen's rooms was made into the baby's room, and she constantly
kept them up with her crying. It was odd- her crying wasn't like any
ordinary baby's cry. When Paige cried, a strange aura of blue light would
surround her tears.
"You sure that prophecy didn't talk about a third kid?" Hailey asked Tori.
"Positive. Maybe it's just because she's from a water ninja and a thunder ninja. I have no clue," she said picking up the baby. She instantly calmed. Her hair was in tiny little curls of blonde that framed her chocolate eyes. Hailey let out a yawn.
"Maybe you should go to bed. Owen already turned in, and your father should be home soon," Tori suggested. Hailey agreed and went to her room. Tori held her new daughter n her arms and kissed her forehead. She remembered what Taka had said to her when she found out she was pregnant.
'I'll be seeing your children soon- all three of them'
Tori clung to Paige tighter. "I'll never let him near you," she said as she walked outside into the night. She lay down on a long chair with Paige on her chest. She began to sing softly-
"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. . ." her voice drifted off as she felt her eyelids slowly falling. She held to Paige and fell asleep.
(((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))
Taka looked down at Tori and Paige. "I think I know how to finally get what I want," he said rubbing his hands together. "Tonight will be a night they will never forget. . . "
((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))
Blake set his motocross gear in the garage and walked into the house. It was quiet- too quiet for him. Usually he would hear Tori, or Paige. He walked towards his room. Tori wasn't there. He checked the twins' rooms and found them sleeping. Finally he went to Paige's room- nothing. A sudden feeling of panic came over him. He ran to the kitchen and saw the backdoor opened slightly. He went and looked out. He smiled when he saw his wife and daughter.
He went over to them. Paige was awake and making a little noise. Blake took her from Tori and looked down at her. She defiantly looked more like Tori than him, but he saw in her eyes a wild fire like he had. Tori stirred and found that her baby was gone. She bolted upright, looking nervous. She calmed when she saw Blake rocking her gently. She went over and wrapped her arms around him from behind.
"You scared me. I thought someone had taken her," she said burring her head in his shoulder. Blake turned to her.
"Tor- nothing's going to happen. We won't let it, and I know that Owen and Hailey won't either." He kissed her softly. "Let's go to bed."
(((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Owen tossed and turned violently in his sleep. He saw Taka holding Hailey by her throat and throttling her.
"Leave her alone!" he cried out. He tried to get to her, but was being held back by Grimlocks.
"Come on Owen. Aren't you going to try and save your sister?" Taka asked as he picked her up again and fired a blast at her chest. Hailey fell to the ground- blood poured out of a wound on her head.
"Hailey!" Owen cried. Taka walked up to him and stared him right in the face.
"This would never have happened if you just gave me your powers. It's your fault she's dead Owen. It's all your fault."
Owen's eyes flew open. He reached both his hands out, making sure they weren't tied. He flung off his covers and walked through the bathroom into Hailey's room. Hailey was sleeping soundly, but sensed someone in her room. She opened her eyes and turned to see Owen.
"O? What happened? You're like, pale," she said sitting up. Owen went to her and hugged her. He took his hand and touched her forehead where he saw her wound in his dream. "What the hell are you doing? Have you gone mental?" she asked.
"Hail- I had a dream. He was there and he was hurting you and I couldn't stop it," he said putting his head down. Hailey put her arm around him.
"Owen, he's trying to use our fears against us. He knows that we'd rather sacrifice ourselves than our family. He's trying to use it against us. We can't let him," she said sternly. Owen looked up at his little sister.
"When did you get so smart?" he asked. "I think I've been with Austin a little too much," she said. They both chuckled lightly. Hailey moved over in her bed. "Go get your blanket," she said. Owen got up and grabbed a blanket he kept in Hailey's room. Hailey rolled over and went back to sleep. Owen wrapped himself in his blanket and lay down next to her.
'Thanks Hailey,' he said to her telepathically.
'Anytime,' she replied softly.
(((((((((())))))))))
"Now for the kicker," Taka said as he focused his energy on the twins.
((((((((()))))))))
Both Owen and Hailey were living the same nightmare. They were running through their house. All they could hear was Paige wailing like mad. They ran around every twist and curve, but she was nowhere to be found. Suddenly they were in a room with black walls and no way out. A spotlight appeared showing their parents lying next to each other, motionless. Another light appeared and in it stood Taka, holding something in a black cloth.
They ran towards their parents, but they were blocked by an energy field. Again they heard Paige cry- this time they knew where it was coming from. Taka turned towards the twins and unwrapped the bundle. There was no mistaking it- Taka had Paige.
"Let her go!" Hailey cried as Owen ran towards him. Taka blasted him, sending him flying into Hailey.
"I told you I won't stop until I get what I want. Now I have something you want." Owen looked at Hailey. They turned back to Taka. Paige disappeared in a black smoke.
"Where is she!" Owen yelled.
"You'll find out in due time. If I can't have your powers, then I'll just take hers." He snapped his fingers and the twins both woke up. They looked at each other. They ran into Paige's room and over to her crib. She wasn't there. They ran to their parents' room and quietly opened the door. When they peered in, they let out sighs of relief.
Tori was lying on her side facing the door with Paige safely nestled in the crook of her arm. Blake was lying behind Tori with his arm protectively over Tori and Paige. Owen shut the door silently and turned to Hailey.
"You know what we have to do," He said. Hailey nodded her head slowly. They both had planned a long time ago that they would only use their powers when it was absolutely necessary. They knew that they would never let him take them, or hurt their family. They were going to destroy him before he had a chance to hurt anyone, or die trying.
They changed into their ninja uniforms and crept back to their parents' room. They looked in and took one last look at their parents. For their entire lives, Blake and Tori had fought to protect them, now it was time for the twins to protect their parents- and their sister.
'C'mon,' Owen said in his head to Hailey. Hailey took one last look at the scene and followed Owen. They went out the back door and ninja streaked to what could be their final battle.
"You sure that prophecy didn't talk about a third kid?" Hailey asked Tori.
"Positive. Maybe it's just because she's from a water ninja and a thunder ninja. I have no clue," she said picking up the baby. She instantly calmed. Her hair was in tiny little curls of blonde that framed her chocolate eyes. Hailey let out a yawn.
