Doc, Zak, Fiskerton, Miranda, Dr. Beeman, and Professor Muzuki sat around a table in the living room of the airship.
"This has been an, interesting day" said Miranda. They all nodded their heads solemnly.
"Yeah, I found out my wife has been married, a lot of times, and that are marriage might not even be valid." Said Doc. Zak glanced at his dad with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, I found out I have a lot of brothers and sisters!" Zak said excitedly. Doc smiled at his son's innocence.
"grr grrrr gur gur" said Fiskerton.
"She's in our bedroom" Doc said.
"She must have, a lot on her mind." said Miranda. Yeah, they all muttered.
"So, what are we going to do about this?" asked Dr. Beeman.
"What do you mean?" asked Zak.
"Well some bad stuff is going on" said Zak.
"Like that Cryptid below that has something to do with that moonstone. And the whole thing with Drew and Argost." Said Professor Muzuki.
"So" said Zak. "Mom did what she believed in, she loved Argost, so what" said Zak.
"Technically, she still loves him" said Dr. Beeman, which earned him a few glares.
"Again, so, isn't love endless or something along those lines. We have to try and see this from mom's perspective." Zak urged.
Meanwhile in Drew and Doc's Bedroom:
Drew laid on the bed contently staring up at the ceiling. A cold wind blew in from the open window. She sighed and sat up. She looked around at the room that become her room. She felt the blankets under her fingers, that held memories of her and Doc's times together. She gazed at all the mementos they had gotten from all around the world. The pictures they'd taken on all of their family adventures. Their wedding pictures, the day Zak was born. They all gave her an indescribable pain in the center of her heart. Knowing she would have to watch them grow old and die as she stayed the same.
"My, my, my, how deep in thought you must be" Drew jumped at the sound of that oh so familiar voice.
"Vasilis" she said.
"Hello my dear" he answered. He stood right in front of the window, blocking the light from the moon outside and covering the room in darkness. Vasilis was still the only one who could truly sneak up on her.
"What do you want?" Drew asked.
"I heard Zendaya paid you a visit" he stated.
"She did, we have a cryptid tearing up Rome, I asked her to help us." She told him.
"And it didn't go so well'' said Vasilis.
"No, she completely freaked out when she discovered that I had Luna Lapidus Mortis" She said gesturing over to the stone that was lying on top of the dresser.
"I'm not surprised. You shouldn't have been either, you know what that thing did to her. Why she went underground for as long as she did." he pointed out. Drew swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. "And the people you call your friends and loved ones haven't really warmed up to everything we've told them." He said.
"No" she said.
"And the cryptid, what have you learned about the new, or rather, old cryptid below our very feet." he said tapping his fingers on the wall. Drew rolled her eyes and glared at Vasilis.
"It is of no concern to you" she said crossing her arms.
"On the contrary, when something threatens my home, I intend to keep my home safe. Even if these idiot's of today have completely destroyed it already." he said angrily clenching his fists.
"Somethings never change" Drew commented smirking.
"Same old Drusilla" retorted Vasilis. Drew walked over to Vasilis.
"What do you really want?" Drew asked.
"To help id my home of a monster." he said.
"And" she said.
"You no what I want" he said. "The same thing you want." he said placing his hand gently on her cheek.
"Vasilis" she sighed. "No" she backed away from him. "I cannot do that, not to them."
"Why, we both want it. We have lived this curse for over two thousand years. We may never get a chance like this again." Vasilis said.
"Vasilis, I couldn't ask him to do that. If all this stuff hasn't already scared him, that definitely would." she said trying to talk him out of the one thing he desired more than anything else.
"Drusilla we need this, we are never going to be truly happy. We have to end this now before we are completely consumed by heartbreak." he walked to Drew and put her hands in his. She immediately recognized the cold calloused hands she'd happily held for decades.
"Vasilis" She whispered looking down at the gray carpet under her feet. Vasilis put a finger under her chin and lifted her head so they saw each other eye to eye.
"Drusilla, please" he begged. "Let my life be ended, but allow yours to live on."
"No" she pushed him backwards. "We will end this together, when the time is right." she told him. ''Not now when our home is in danger." she said forcefully. He nodded in understanding.
There was a soft tapping at the door.
"One moment" called Drew looking behind her at the door. She turned back to Vasilis, but he was already gone. She rolled her eyes and went over to the window and closed it. She still wondered how he did that so flawlessly.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter because I will not be posting next Saturday, sorry. RR
