It was late at night. Sincerity was sitting on a chair, looking at her baby boy who sleeps in his cradle. Her expression was wistful. She sighed heavily. She was afraid for the first time in her life. A cold fear was gripping her heart since the day she took Kai to her arms. She was afraid for her son. He was so little, so insecure, so needed.
Her eyes were stinging from the lack of sleep so she decided to rest a bit. She leaned to the bed which she was sharing with Alexander and fell into an uneasy sleep just to see the nightmare which makes her wake up screaming every night again.
Dream Sequence:
She was running with a small bundle in her arms. The street was dark. Then she fell. A baby cry was heard which was followed by an evil laugh. A figure came out from the darkness and took her baby away. The laugh continued, becoming louder and louder. The cold, horrible voice filled her chest and she wanted to scream but she couldn't…
She woke up with a start, completely drenched in sweat. Her chest was heaving and falling rapidly with the each quick breath she took. She placed a trembling hand on her chest; she could feel her heart pounding.
"Sincerity?" Alexander asked with a concerned voice. Apparently he was up to her screams.
"Alexander!" she buried her face to his chest and started to sob.
Alexander tried to calm his wife by stroking her hair and whispering soothingly to her ear.
"Hush! It is over. You and Kai are safe." he whispered.
Sincerity looked up at his face with tear stained eyes and begged:
"Please, don't let them. Please, Alexander!"
He took her face between his hands and looked at her crimson eyes deeply.
"I won't let him harm you. I promise." he said softly. He embraced her tightly. His embrace was reliving her and making her feel safe. She fell asleep in his arms.
In the morning:
She couldn't find Alexander when Sincerity woke up. She got out of the bed and went to look at Kai. He was up too. She spent the whole morning with him. Alexander came with Nikolay in the afternoon.
"I found an appropriate place to hide." Alexander said to Sincerity.
"Where?"
"In a town called Serov on the outskirts of Moscow. It is located inside a forest so it isquite hard to find." Nikolay explained.
I think we shall move immediately." Alexander added.
"Fine, then." Sincerity answered and then she turned to Nikolay.
"What will you do? Did you find a place for yourself?"
"We will go to Petersburg."
"But, Voltaire's grip is very strong in the European part."
"The Rebel Organization wants us there for a mission." Nikolay answered.
"Nikolay, do you know what are the other rebel families doing?"
"You mean the ones who have no part in Organization? Oh! I was going to tell you that. They are escaping to Japan."
"Japan?" Alexander asked confused.
"Yes. There is a man called Stanley Dickenson who takes orphan or disowned children and gives them to foster families." Nikolay explained.
"Dickenson?" Alexander gasped at the name.
"Yeah. Do you know him?" Nikolay asked rather surprised at his reaction.
"It…. It is just a vague memory." he stammered.
"Where do you know him?" Sincerity insisted.
"I…. he… he was a friend of him, before the incident. I think." He stammered
"You mean he was a friend of Voltaire?" Sincerity asked amazed.
"A long time ago. Before my mother committed that fucking suicide, he used to come our home." He explained, shivering slightly at the thought of his mother's suicide. He was on the verge of tears. It was hard to talk about her after those years. Sincerity hugged him in order to offer some comfort. He continued to explain:
"He visited our home a few weeks after the funeral and saw me terribly beaten. He yelled at my fat-Voltaire and threatened him about taking me from him. He left the house in rage and I never saw him again. I wish he was able to do what he had said tough."
An awkward silence filled the room for a moment. Sincerity ended it with her soft voice.
"Shall we go to Japan, then?"
"It seems like it is the most logical thing to do right now." Alexander answered.
"I don't think so. I mean his men are looking for you everywhere. If you eventry going, you will probably be caught before you can even reach tothe plane." Nikolay objected.
"I don't want to hide like a coward! If I die, I will die with my honour!" Sincerity exclaimed fiercely.
"Ok, then. I will write a letter to Mr. Dickenson explaining everything and wait for his answer. In the meantime you can hide in Serov." Nikolay offered taken aback by her harsh and determined voice.
"It is settled then." Alexander said looking at the approving look on his wife's face.
They started to pack right away and they were in Serov before the night. The house was bigger than they expected. There were four rooms and a big hall. There were huge pictures on the walls showing scenes from Tsar's time. One of the rooms was a library which contains lots of dusty books in it.
Sincerity observed everywhere carefully. The place was some kind familiar to her. She entered to the library room. There, on the wall opposite the bookshelves was a magnificent, red phoenix image just like Dranzer. She gasped in shock. This place was one of the Van Gull's hiding places.
She decided to take a look at the books. She pulled one of them out. As soon as he opened the book a haze of dust raised to air. A piece of paper fell between the pages. She took it and read:
The Foresight Of The Phoenix
A child will born from a rebel
He will carry the dark blood as well
He will possess the red one
In order to finish the dark one.
