The Incredible Future The Next Generation

Chapter 9

Helena ran downstairs to where her daddy was. She had to show him what her dolly could do. She found him in his study with grandpa, Carl and the Lewis boy. She didn't feel too confident anymore and slowly came up to her dad.

Wilbur however was concerned. Violet and Bobby should have been back ages ago. He had called her three times and already and it said that her number was not in service. She had always answered his calls.

"Any news from them?" asked Cornelius who was starting to notice Wilbur's worried look.

Wilbur shook his head. "None."

She could tell something was up. Helena could feel that something bad had happen to mommy and Bobby. She wasn't sure what was happening, but something inside her told her it was bad. She closed her eyes and she saw things. Everything was a blur, but she recognised the shapes of Bobby and her mom. They were being attacked by a man and she wanted to help and do something but she wasn't able to move from her spot. She tried calling out to them and neither of them heard her. Everything was beginning to fade and the last thing she saw was the man's ship taking off and bobby standing there.

Helena opened her eyes and saw that everyone was staring at her with confused looks.

"Are you okay?" asked her dad kneeling down to her.

She didn't know what answer to give him. She didn't even know what was going on. One minute she saw her mom and the next she was back here in the study.

"Helena." said her dad. " Why did you call out to your mom and Bobby, when they aren't here?" he asked.

How did he here her? He wasn't with her when the bad stuff was happening.

"Oh daddy, I don't know what happen, but I saw…saw…." she started tearing up.

"Saw what?" he asked now trying to pick her up.

"Mommy and Bobby were being hurt by a bad man and I saw took mommy." she finished burying her face in his shoulder.

Everyone's expressions became blank. Wilbur left the room and bought Helena back upstairs to her bedroom and everyone just glanced at him.

"Is she telling the truth?" asked the younger Cornelius.

"I don't know, but Helena has never given signs that she possessed any powers. So maybe she must have had a bad dream or something." said the older one.

"So you're saying that she made it up."

"The only logical reason other than having super powers and telling the truth. The girl is still only five." he replied.

Carl interrupted them. "Excuse me, but young Helena could tell the difference between dreams and reality. So I believe that what she saw was really happening and that Violet and Bobby are really in danger."

"It can't be a coincidence that Helena knew that we were worried about them and decided to deepen are worries by telling us that story." said Cornelius.

"If you're calling my daughter a liar than you clearly don't know her." said Wilbur coldly coming back in the study.

"But for all we know…" started Cornelius.

"Look I believe that she is telling the truth and that my wife and son are out there in danger while we sit here and argue about it!" he shouted.

Just then the door had a soft knock on it. It wasn't loud but they managed to hear it.

He was tired by the time he got home. The walk wasn't that long, but because of all the running he did and the pain he was having it felt like forever. The necklace he had wrapped around his hand motivated him to keep moving no matter how many times he fell. He knew that his mom was being held somewhere and that he needed to help her. He felt relief when he saw the familiar building of his house. He knocked on the door but it wasn't loud enough. So he tried a second one and it was a bit louder. He hoped they heard it and he slowly passed out on the front porch.

Carl opened the door and found an unconscious Bobby in front of him.

"Ahh…Wilbur!" he called and began picking up the boy.

Wilbur exited the study and run when he saw Carl holding his son.

"What happen?" he asked worriedly.

"I don't know, he was like this on the front." he answered laying him down on the couch.

Bobby's hand fell when he put him down and Wilbur caught glimpse of something sparkling in his hand. He came over and gently opened Bobby's hand and saw that he was holding Violet's necklace. The necklace that he had given to her on their first day of school together. Since then she had never taken it off.

"Where's Violet?"

Both the Lewis's came out when he said that and they both became worried. The older one now believed that his granddaughter had been telling the truth.

"We need to find her." said Wilbur getting up and heading back to his study. "Carl, look after Bobby." he ordered.

"Yes sir." saluted the robot.

Her dad had left her in her room. The only thing she had in her mind was the things she had just seen. She could hear her dad shouting and she even heard a knock. Helena slowly and quietly left her room, to see who it was. She crept down the stairs and saw Carl with Bobby. Normally Helena always was happy to see her brother, but after what she had just seen, she didn't have the same jumpy feeling she always had.

"Carl." she said walking up to him. "Where's daddy?"

The robot looked at the little girl and he didn't wasn't to worry her. "Oh, he's ahh…with your grandpa." he replied.

Helena knew he was lying. "No he isn't." she said and she headed to Wilbur's study. He was looking through his computer and mumbling.

"Daddy." she called softly.

Wilbur stopped and turned to her. "Oh Helena now is not the time."

"I know you are looking for mommy." she said. "I saw who took her."

He leaned down till he was almost the same height as her. "What did you see before?" he asked.

She hesitated a bit trying to remember everything exactly. "I saw a man attacking them and then he hit mom and took her away." she said.

"Did you know what he looked liked?"

Helena nodded. "it was a little bit blurry, but he was big with big hair and he was scary." she answered. She looked over to the screen and saw a picture. It was of the man only he looked a little bit different. "he looks like that." she said pointing to photo.

Wilbur walked over to the where she was pointing at felt a cold shudder when he saw to what she was pointing to. It was a photo of one of Violet's nemesis Syndrome. He however was dead and the only other thought that came to him was Jimmy. He was sure he had died that night many years ago and was left in the past. How could he have been in the future? He then remembered that his body disappeared and…oh he didn't want to think about it. The thought that he survived and wanted to complete his revenge. He needed to find him and save Violet.

"Daddy, if you go find him he will kill you too." said Helena grabbing his arm.

He had no choice. It was Violet's life at stake and he would do anything for her.
