Here is another chapter, posting two today and maybe five left.

Kai's eyes just slid over to me, they would every so often, so it was nothing to get jumpy over. I just resume my seat talking to Bella she was young and new to her power, she never alerted me what her power was, but she was at my side normally. She would smile but it was a smile that hinted at sadness at times, others she would smile and laugh, and it made me laugh in return.

I could feel Warren, like little sparks the closer he was the hotter they burned deep inside me. I knew he felt me but maybe not in the same way, I would send waves were his was sparks of flame if he was fire, I was water, we canceled each other out.

Bella spoke low, "You are not happy here, I also wish to return to my family," her tone was fruity and filled with longing. So, when I glanced at her I speak as if I was talking to Layla, a sensitive girl. "You will be going home soon, I assume Kai has you with me for a reason your power is the best guess,"

Her eyes turned down to the floor, "Of course, but your great company, and a friend. I tie people together, keep them content with things as the reason you have not tried to leave. But I help Kai as well, keep him calm," now it made sense, even when annoyed I never felt the real desire to leave him.

"Nice power, dangerous too. Is it a permeant thing, they tying us together?"

She gave me a nod of yes, "After prolonged amounts of time yes, you should leave,"

Retorting back while plucking a flower, "Can't gave my word, and plans are falling into place." I would not tell her much more not fearing that she would tell Kai, but if he thought she had information he wouldn't hesitate to hurt her.

I figured with how hot each spark was, he was much closer they traveled faster now.

Tabletops layered with trays of the most delicious food and drinks lined the walls, delicacies capable of making one's mouth water: a whole roast deer with sprigs of rosemary threaded through its antlers and stuffed with bacon and rye bread, marinated Glenloth chicken, grilled trout with lemon, smoked sausages and a pineapple glazed ham, mounds of fragrant wild rice, potatoes and diced pumpkin smeared with butter and spices baked on hot stones, countless cheeses that went with baskets of crackers and bread rolls shaped like seashells, and all sorts of varieties of salads and side dishes. A tureen or two on each table contained either hot soup or a hearty casserole. I just take little not feeling right, Bella eats with me, but her eyes are narrowed at this ugly ass old hag that made the hag in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves look like a model.

While we walked back to the table, I ask fast. "Who is that,"

"The old one, she is his family His line started with her," oh god, he came from that, nasty.

I just sit next to him he smiled down at me, Bella was on my left eating when I glanced at her once again, "Wow, I hope your mother doesn't age like that," she snarled at me. I snapped back, "I will fuck you up old hag, Kai put her on a fucking leash," I was more unnerved they were plotting against me, Bella was a boss bitch. I would tell her of my time and she once said she would love to see such wonders.

Kai laughed, "Who knew the evilest girls have the prettiest face,"

I scoffed, "He is talking about me, obviously not you crone," just messing with her, before she could mutter a retort I turn talking to Bella, she would glance passed me trying to say words with her eyes. I turned back seeing them talking in low whispers. I just sip my drink something was wrong, even the air was thick with it, Bella's hand shot out a minute later when Kai wasn't looking, she just shook her head no.

It hit me, one of those fucks put something in my drink.

I figured I was fucked.

I stand looking out and watched the sunset at the horizon, spreading its largess into a grateful sky. Rich hues of red blended with oranges, purples, crimsons. My spirit soared at the sight as everyone was transported into a timeless existence, ready for the protective blanket of night and new dreams. I am dead tired, my head is spinning when I get in bed, I knew tomorrow was going to be the day, he was so close.

Kai never arrived, so when it felt like I blinked I was still alone other than the sun coming through. I felt odd sluggish even, my clothes on but messed up, I was sore too. But the door open's and Bella walked in with clothes, I stood feeling heat burning she rushed me her arms around me. I gasped, "Kai, drugged me,"

"Yes, it was the only way he could try to have you," oh gods, soooo fucked.

I just take the royal blue gown; it was trimmed in black with black leather around the waist. I wore my circlet as she braided my hair, "So, Bella. You want a new life away from this, coffee and candy, and all that shit I spoke of,"

"I do," but it was more wishful like it couldn't happen.

I stood smiling, even with knowing what Kai did, not that I could remember what he did but the signs are there. I walked to the balcony seeing a massive beast lurking closer, "My husband arrived, come on Bella," she was looking out with wide eyes as I grabbed her jumping from the window, our bodies touched the ground with feather-like movements.

Kai and his army are behind us now, I turn. "My husband has arrived, now what is your next move," he smiled. "War," he strode forward as across the field I could see Warren and Jackie. Every man in the army was trained to obey orders for even the most unconscionable acts. They were lesser men than weapons on legs, as robotized as a human can be and still breathe. Nobody in the top brass cared that should their consciences ever return they would end up with PTSD and likely shattered and drunk old men. They needed unquestioned obedience from their soldiers now and to hell with the consequences. I was about to change their fate, they could return home and be with their families and grow old in better spirits.

Kai and his two favorite minions walked forward to meet Wiklow, Jackie, and Warren, I moved forward against what Kai wanted, Bella was at my side. I just smile my hand on Kai's shoulder he was subdued into thinking I was still his, that Bella was still using her power's on me.

He was confident now, "Hello Peace, my god it took you nearly a month to calm yourself to come find Bexley?" it was rather ridiculous it had taken this idiot so damn long, seriously head in the motherfucking game Peace. Wiklow was looking at me, Jackie already guessed what I was planning as Warren looked rather demented that I was holding on to Kai so tight.

"What have you done to her?" it was so angry, it felt like his anger was churning inside me, burning everything in their path. Kai smiled, "Nothing," but that was a lie.

I speak, "Because of you I have not seen our daughter in over a month, I have been getting ill again. Warren is it that hard on you to use your head, a calm and cooled dementor is better suited when in these dark times. Now, look where it has gotten you," I was also angry but now my voice is not happy but cool and in control.

Jackie was inching away, I gave a small nod to Bella who took my arm, it was like a computer as my brain filed each power away for future use. The vortex opened with a clockwise motion, I just thought of home but it seemed to already know when we had to return to it was calling out to me.

Kai tried to back away when it clicked in his head. "You first, time to take this fight back home. No more mid-evil playtime," using the strength I absorbed from Will and shoving his ass in first, it would take him home but unsure where. I grabbed Bella, "Now Kai is not an issue here. Now, we have to return to our time and deal with him on our turf, Jackie take care, my friend. I am going to miss you all,"

Aria put her forehead to mine as Krka walked to us, "Warren, you changed too much. When you return nothing is the same, but it can be repaired." I snarled. "What have you done Warren? What did you say or do to fuck shit up you son of a bitch,"

He glanced at the floor, "I…"

Aria just shoved him through the portal, "He just couldn't keep his trap shut, some things need to happen. Now go and fix your timeline," Aria hugged me than everyone did last was Freya, her smile radiant as Layla was sucker-punching Loki.

"I am taking Bella here, is that going to fuck more shit up?" my eyes on Krka, she laughed. "No this Bella is not meant to be here, her destiny is with you," but she handed me Warren's cell phone, it had us on it, every picture he took of this time was permeant now.

I wave one last time, "Come on Bella, let us go deal with this shit,"

"Yes, let us deal with this shit," she echoed back as together we walked through the portal it was easy now, and when I walked through, I was in my bedroom at moms.

I picked up my cell that was sitting on the bedside table, it should not be here it should be at my place. I looked in the closet finding our clothes, "Dress,"

We did, I wore black jeans a black crop top with red and black flannel, my Vans on as she stood looking in the mirror. Nice blue jeans with a tye-dye tank top and matching Vans, I unbraided her hair and let it go. "You have much to learn but stick with me and you will be good. First, I need to find out what has happened," she smiled looking at everything when my mother walked in a stern look on her face.

I held my hand up as my cell was on speaker, Vic answered the tail end of the first ring. "My number one,"

"Dutch bros, now,"

He laughed, "Race," I hung up.

"Mom, this is Bella. Bella, this is Snow, my mother. Mom, I have been gone over a month lots to explain but not right now. I will be home for dinner and can explain then, but might want the Sirens here and Uncle," Bella and I bounced, my baby was in the garage, I should get to BiBi but now I am not sure where she is located since I came back to my room.

I noticed when I pulled into Dutch Bro's a headache was starting, Vic and Magenta are waiting with Becca Faith. I just hugged Vic, "The fuck happened?" he gasped.

"Can you remember?"

Magenta answered, "Not much, but what we do has kept us together. Becca Faith is still here, but Bex you left to help in the past, and soon after everything went wrong. We can hardly remember now,"

I asked, "Where is Layla?"

Becca Faith answered, "With Hawk, under lock and key while Will is out of town. We know something is wrong," nodding.

"My daughter?"

"Who?"

My knees went to buckle, but Bella held me up until I regained my composer. "Vic, follow me. The rest get in, we have to fix what the fuck he fucked up," I was getting flashes now, a life I was living before.

Magenta was shotgun, "Getting flashes of life, Mage where is Warren Peace?"

She gave me a side-eye, "Why you want to know about that nasty ass?"

"Were," I bellowed surprising her, "High Max," good god lord.

I turned on Hammer seeing BiBi's house, but his mother was across the street as I was doing a solid hundred while drifting the corner. I was cursing and muttering as Becca Faith was chatting to Bella, this was good Becca Faith had a way of making things easy to understand. I just slammed down on the brakes my tires making so much noise as I fishtailed on to their lawn, I was out my feet pounding until my fist was banging on the door.

The blue door opened and there stood BiBi beaming as I dropped to my knees seeing her safe, but what floored me was Aurora coming from the kitchen a dishrag in her hand. He said something to ruin our life, took my daughter from me, may the fuck rot. Magenta hauled me to my feet as Vic just looked confused. I asked BiBi, no hope was heard in my tone. "Do you remember?"

She reached out taking my hand, "I could never forget,"
