Be prepared
Paris and Zandra looked in horror at the burning temple where the bomb just had set of. Thick black smoke came from the entrance and huge chucks of the wall had blown off by the explosion.
''Jack!'' Paris screamed as he and Zandra ran towards it. As they got near, they could hear coughing coming from inside and one by one the survivors came outside.
Paris made his way through the crowd looking for Jack's face to show among them, but he couldn't see him anywhere. The lump into Paris's throat grew larger and his eyes started to water. Then he got a glimpse of raven hair slowly and wobbly making it outside.
''Jack!'' Paris called in relief and ran over to his best friend wrapping his arm around Jack's waist and brought Jack's arm around his own neck, supporting him. Jack coughed as they made it out from the crowd and they both sat down onto the ground nearby.
''Are you okay?'' Paris coughed himself by the huge amount of smoke everywhere.
''I think so.'' Jack asked as he coughed and noticed that a part of his jacket had been burnt inside the temple, but his flesh seemed to be fine.
The three sisters stood and starred at each other for awhile. Gabi placed one of her hands onto Nick's crystal.
''We can't just leave him here!'' Gabi exclaimed and looked at Nick inside his frozen prison.
''He's from home.'' She added. Isabella frowned eyebrows.
''So? We have no idea who he is or what he is capable off.'' She said and crossed her arms over her chest.
''Oh come on Bella! Don't be so uptight.'' Petronella snorted, earning a warning glare from her older sister.
''I'm not! I'm just saying that we down owe this guy my favours? Besides, he will probably just be a liability.'' Isabella spat back.
''Well, I want to break him out.'' Gabi pouted.
''I'm with you Gabs.'' Said Petronella before turning to look at Isabella again.
''Look on the bright side, now he owe us.'' She said with a smirk and linked hands with Gabi and the two of them turned to Nick's ice crystal.
They both reached out their free hands and soon they both started to glow. Petronella a deep shade of red, just like blood. Gabi a shade of deep green.
The glow eventually grew and grew before they both shot two large spheres towards Nick and there was an smaller explosion but powerful enough to send the three witches to the ground. Thankfully, the cave didn't collapse.
Coughing, all three of them got back up onto their feet. For the first time they could get a real look at the man behind the ice.
After months, the war was finally over. Atleast the help of Paris and the others were no longer needed and they were finally allowed to go back home to their friends and family.
Paris and Zandra stood with Stefan by many of the ships that were going to take them back home.
''I can't thank you enough for your help.'' Stefan smiled widely as he shook hands with both of them.
''This war is soon over, all thanks to you.'' He added.
''We're just happy that we could help.'' Zandra smiled as she shared a hug with Stefan.
''Come on guys, we're going home.'' Jack called to them as he ran past them and aboard the ship.
''You could almost think he was the one who has a wife and kid back at home.'' Paris chuckled slightly before he and Zandra boarded the ship. In less than 12 hours, they would be reunited with the people that they loved.
After all this time stuck inside that ice had made Nick slightly unstable. He nearly fell when he got up from the ground.
''Did you help me out? He asked as he looked at the three women before him.
''Well, me and Gabi did. Bella preferred you stayed in that ice block.'' Petronella chuckled, earning an elbow in her side from Isabella.
''Really? So why didn't you?'' Nick grinned.
''Look blondie, we ask the questions here.'' Petronella sneered. Nick frowned his eyebrows slightly.
''Fine, I guess that's fair.'' Nick added.
''Nick.'' He added and reached his hand out. Petronella was the first one to shake it.
''Petronella. That's my less hotter and older sister Isabella.'' Petronella said and nodded over at Isabella who refused to shake Nick's hand.
''And that's my twin, Gabriella.'' Petronella added and looked at Gabi.
''All your names end with ella? Seriously?'' Nick grinned before turning to Gabi, who looked somewhat mesmerized by the handsome stranger in front of her.
''Well, I see that you are not identical twins.'' Nick said and looked from Gabi to Petronella.
''Nice spotting detective.'' Isabella snorted, but Nick showed no knowledge of her.
''So, what's the plan to get us out of here.'' He asked.
''Why should we help you?'' Petronella asked.
''Well, why did you help me out then?''
''We seem to share the same home planet. Why were you brought here?''
''It's long story. Let's just say that the person who put me here has a few things on his conscious that he is yet to pay for. What about you?'' Nick asked.
''Our business are done and taken care of.''
''Really? One question, are you trained in dark magic?''
''The darkest.''
''Would you be interested in trading favours?''
''Depends. What do you have to offer?'' Petronella asked and crossed her arms over her chest.
''You help me get my revenge, and I'll pay you a very generous amount of money.'' Nick said, Petronella grinned. That was her kind of language.
''How much?'' She asked.
''A million.'' Nick smirked. Their eyes almost fell out of their sockets as the Medina exchanged looks.
''Each.'' Nick added as his smirked grew wider. Without even discussing it with her sisters, Petronella reached her hand out.
''Deal.'' She said as they shook hands. Petronella was greedy, Isabella was worried and Gabi was crushing.
Nick looked at the three sisters in front of him. Isabella, the oldest one even if she didn't look like it. She also seemed to be the most rebellious and cautious of them, probably also making her the smartest one. Petronella, even if she was beautiful, Nick got the feeling that she could also be the ugliest. If she wanted to, she could betray you without a second thought. Still, she could probably also be the most loyal. Then there was Gabriella, well there was something about her that made Nick want to know more about her.
Tulio walked out from the his and Amazonia's closet as he could hear Amazonia softly singing her lullabies to Liam from the nursery. Soon she quietly closet the door after her and placed the baby monitor onto the coffee table.
''I finally got him to go to sleep.'' She said with a tired smile onto her lips.
''Well I understand that he doesn't want to go to sleep. Listening to that breathtaking voice of your makes me all…. untamed.'' He grinned and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. Amazonia giggled and ran a hand through his hair. They parted and Amazonia was on her way to the closet. Suddenly she looked like she was about to faint and had to sit down into the one of the armschairs. She drew a deep breath and closed her eyes.
''What is it?'' Tulio asked as he looked at his wife concerned. Amazonia clutched onto her own thighs and took a deep breath.
''I just…'' She said before drawing her breath again.
''I got a feeling that something is coming. Something bad.'' She added before looking back up at him and they both exchanges some worried looks.
Nick and the Medinas walked, and them walked some more, and even more.
''What are we looking for?'' Nick asked.
''The portal leading back home.'' Gabi replied and slipped on some ice. Luckily, Nick managed to grab a hold of her and saved her from falling.
''Thank you.'' She said and gave him a look and smiled. They looked at each other for a short second, before Nick let go of his grip of her.
''No worries.'' He added as they carried on walking.
''Why did you agree to help him?'' Isabella spat as she and Petronella walked slightly more in the back from the others.
''Because he's paying us a fortune. And he's proper eye-candy.'' Petronella purred.
''Didn't you say the exact thing about Rafe? Look what happened to him.'' Isabella hissed. Petronella grabbed her sister by her arm and forced her to face her.
''Look, Rafe had it coming.'' Petronella hissed. Isabella snorted and rolled her eyes.
''Well I'm sure it was worth it because it's what took of here!'' Isabella hissed.
''If you breath one word about that, you'll be sorry.'' Petronella added and Isabella fell silent.
''Hey guys, we found it.'' They both turned around and saw Gabi waving over at them.
They both hurried over and stopped by the down going spiral into the ground.
''Is this is?'' Petronella asked and raised her eyebrows. Gabi nodded.
''Okay, so how do we get through?'' Isabella asked.
''We don't. We only need to weaken it for a short moment in order for me to teleport us home. That way, no one will even know we left.'' Gabi smirked.
''Smart girl, I knew I liked you.'' Nick smirked as he looked over at her, earning a smile back.
''Alright, how do we do this?'' Petronella asked. Gabi reached her hand over to her twin sister and grabbed it with one hand, and grabbed Nick's with her other. Nick took his free hand and linked it together with Isabella.
''Just give it your all and I should be able to get us out of here.'' Gabi said and closer her eyes. Petronella and Isabella nodded towards each other before with their free hands attacking the portal. It didn't take long until sparks escaped from the portals centre and suddenly all four off them landed unto grass. Nick groaned slightly before he looked up and in distance he could see the lights that lit up the palace and the capitol in the midnight darkness. He was back! Now it wouldn't take long before he finally got his revange. Paris, be prepared.
I could not apologize enough for the time it has taken for this chapther. Life have been CRAZY for a long time, but I have missed these stories soooo much.
Next time. Paris and the others are finally reunaited. Nick runs into someone from his past.
