Chapter 27: Losing Kimberly
Tommy came down to his lab and turned the computer on. He knew how to contact the Dark Wizard, he just never wanted to in the past, now he does. The Dark Wizard appeared. "Why are you doing this to my wife?" He demanded.
"I am seeing what she saw in you in the past," he replied.
Suddenly, he and Kimberly were taken from their house and into the lair. They fought against the minions with no prevail. "Strap them down," the Dark Wizard ordered. They then strapped Tommy against the wall while Kimberly was strapped on the table.
"Boy, aren't these fun times," Tommy mumbled.
The Dark Wizard walked around them with a sneer. "Two lovers, just like Thomas and Beautiful," he growled.
"You can't change what we have done in the past or what we have done now," Kimberly insisted.
"You're right, I can't change your past, but I can change your future," he stated.
Kimberly's eyes widened when two bands were placed on her arms. The Dark Wizard's staff was attached to her as well. Tommy's went wide-eyed when the Dark Wizard starting chanting a spell. "NO!" He yelled. It was too late, Kimberly's eyes glowed pink and the minions freed her. She sat up and looked at the Dark Wizard. The Dark Wizard grinned and held a hand out to her.
"Welcome, my dear," he greeted.
She looked around before placing her hand in his and got off the table. "What has happened here?" She demanded. Tommy couldn't believe what he was seeing, this was a low blow. He knew that his enemy was purposely keeping him there so he could be tortured.
"Well, my dear, you have been through a rough time during these past few years," he stated.
Kimberly looked down at herself and had a shocked expression on her face. "What am I wearing?" She asked.
"Don't worry my dear, we'll get you some new clothes," he assured.
"NO! Kimberly, you must remember something about me," Tommy insisted.
Kimberly turned and looked at him. "Who are you?" She asked.
"Kimberly, it's me, it's Tommy. I'm your husband," Tommy replied.
"I have no husband," she snapped.
"Look at your hand, Kim. Look at the rings I have placed on your hand years ago. You have to remember."
She looked at her hand to find her wedding rings. "I have no husband, this is a trick," she hissed.
"Kimberly, you have to remember Ann, Rebecca, Josh, little Tommy, Trent, and Katie. Please tell me you remember our own children," he insisted.
"Why would I have children with someone like you?"
"Because we love each other."
She glared at him and walked away. "Forget in, Dr. Oliver, she has no memory of you whatsoever. I'll let her have fun with you once I tell her everything my way," the Dark Wizard stated. Tommy lowered his head.
"No," he whispered.
Ann woke up to find her parents gone. She knew that something was wrong. She knew that her parents wouldn't up and leave like this. She checked on her brothers and sisters before calling the others to the lab.
They all came in to see Ann pacing. "What's going on?" Jack asked.
"Jack, my parents are missing. I think the Dark Wizard took them," she replied.
"How do you know?" Brandon asked.
"I know my parents, Brandon. Mom and dad would just up and leave like this. The Dark Wizard has to be the one who took them."
"Well, we would understand why he would want your mom, but what would he want with your dad?" Brock asked.
"He wants to kill my father so he can have my mother," she replied.
"Where is this cave?" Alex asked.
"I'm sure the Dark Wizard has changed positions now. He has the power to go to place to place on the beach. We're going to need help to find them," Ann replied.
"And we'll be the ones tracking them down," Hayley assured.
Ann thanked Hayley and Billy before watching them get to work. Katie started to cry and Ann went upstairs to take care of her.
She went into the nursery and picked her sister up. She tried calming her down, but the fear of losing her parents took over. She sat down in a rocking chair while holding her sister. She started to cry, not hearing Jack come in. "Ann," he murmured. Ann looked up and started to wipe her tears away. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"How am I supposed to feel, Jack? My parents are gone," she replied.
"Good point," he agreed.
"What'll happen to me, my brothers, and my sisters if something happens to them?"
Jack kneeled down in front of her. "I'll help you. No matter what, Ann, I'll make sure nothing will happen to your parents while I'm breathing," he assured. Ann smiled and held his hand.
"You're such a good friend, thank you," she whispered.
She kissed his cheek before putting Katie back down into her crib. "I wish you could see me more than just a friend," he mumbled. He got up from the floor when little Tommy started to cry.
