We're getting into the good stuff now we are in chapter 3. Let's hope this chapter is as good as the last one. Big events happen and we get to see all kinds of crazy things take place in things that should've happened things that could've happened and secrets that come out This chapter is all about secrets. I hope you enjoy it. also theories too.
I told Mama Helena, that I didn't know and if my other father or father, my actual father, Kane was going to be anywhere near our new family, but I know that he would I know he supported Mama, Helen, and me and Julius, the handsome new stranger that just came into town anything for my sweet one I will support anything king said that's good bad I said, as I looked at Kane because I like the new, handsome stranger that that that mama Helena picked out that she fell in love with Julius is a nice person. That's a good thing right it is. But I don't know a whole lot about both my new parents. I said I don't know what kind of people both of them are even though I know a little more about Mama Helen I don't know much about my future father Julius, and being adopted into this new family, I just hope they give you a better family than what I can provide for you. My father said hugging me I think they will. I said I think they will provide well enough for me. Good I hope I'm making the right choice you are don't worry, you are making the better choices.
Don't worry I won't forget about you, I won't forget about us and he's a great parent You've done decently enough for me it's very mature of you to say my sweet one for your age of three years old. It's pretty mature for you to speak that way. I just hope you're happy with your new stage of life and happy living here I am I know I still go to school and I know I have to think I still have to seesaw at school. It's easier now. knowing that I'll get to see you, Mama, Helena, and Father Julius Julius I am very excited to start a new chapter in my life.
I had a lovely visit with my father. We sat and chatted about anything and everything Seeing him in secret was harder because I had to sneak around to see him around from one soul wasn't around to sing to buy on me, and he had to sneak to see me so soul wouldn't find out and not tell brother that I was nursing and no longer living in the house. We also make sure to live far away enough like on the other side of the river so that we're not too close to my brother, even though it was a long journey to school. It was worth it though, I didn't get to see Claire much either because she lived on the other side as well and Mama, Helen, and father Julius wanted to travel even though he's not my father yet, but they are talking about getting married soon and I'm excited about it learning about my other family members soon to be family members I was nervous especially one of my grandparents one of them I will never see I never learn about, but I have two other great grandparents that I'll get to see I get to have a full family soon a new mother and father and others and a and grandparents oh, happy day to me I'm excited about new family a new life now my problem is the soul I'm worried about soul ruining my new life, but mama, Helena ensured that that will never happen to me. Then I will never have to worry about that ever again because she said after we're done after they get married, we're gonna travel I'll never see I'll never be here in Ravenswood ever again after this, I'll be quitting school, and traveling, I'll probably hardly ever see my father mother, ensure that we owe my Helena sure that we would write letters and write letters to my dad. It'll make things easier.
The doorbell rang at her little house Father left, so it was just me and Mama, Helena, and Julius I'll see you all around Kane. Sad father way to goodbye Don't be a stranger Kane Send Helena I'll be back soon. It looks like you have visitors so I will leave now. Of course of course I have a lot to do with when I get home my no good son of mine is going to be asking me where I have been and I have to lie to him right Helena said leaving us. See you later I'll see you.
Is that close the door? My grandparents walked in after him One was going be my step-adoptive grandfather, and the other one was my biological grandmother, but not biological as in my dad or my other biological mother but my adoptive mother's mother well, she said walking in Helena, hello mother she said I know you were expecting us soon. Yes, I was Oh Helena said wow I guess you have adopted a little girl that's not what I was expecting. What were you expecting? Do you have your child soon? I'm not married yet Mother, she said, I see you met a handsome stranger mama Helena nodded her head. Well, that's good news. Are you going to get married? Yes yes, we're thinking about it and thinking about that for that Mama Helena send but I'd like to introduce you to my adopted daughter this is Scarlet. Her actual name is Scarlet Agnes Are you gonna change it to Why Amy and change her first name oh, no, dear, I met her last name. Why would I change her last name, I might eventually, but why would I change it? I was just hoping you would I was expecting my granddaughter to be adopted expecting to get married and have kids with your daughter's mom and do that time I will have kids of my own. I want to see my grandchildren, but if that's not possible, Mother, you told me for one that I might not be able to that you might not able to able to see your grandchildren, That is true and my grandchildren will never know me. I have this little girl here My eyes widened making my new adoptive grandmother look like mom, mama Helena in the face same eye color I was taken aback. Wow linking back to her eyes it's strange What is what you want to do with your life Travel around the world, My soon-to-be husband is a traveler my fiancé is a traveler Helena said what the hell I said looking at looking at my adopted grandmother well, I just hope traveling doesn't mess up everything I was hoping you would settle down. I don't like you being a teacher, so I was hoping you'd have some other job.
Why do you disapprove of me adopting a little girl? What is she to you? What does it matter if her mama Helena argues with my new grandmother? Because I didn't expect you to adopt that's why. Does it matter? Yes yes, it does. It does matter. They kept arguing amongst themselves. Now, it's a mess soon-to-be father Julius Why do we have to argue about this? Why can't we just all get along? My daughter's deaf grandfather also looked at her mama, Helena, and my grandmother, whom I didn't know her name is some time. Everyone looked uncomfortable, especially at each other glancing uncomfortably. I know my time is short send my grandmother I know my time is short here and I have been around other places.
Yeah, like cheating on me, my adopted grandfather said sneaking around and seeing the first human. The first human got shot. Why not how you were born, dear said Grandma On those adventures you know you in dating behind my back Grandpa said, but I took your word for it and had Helena just because you can try and make an effort to be nicer to your daughter silent. I guess Grandma said OK I'll do my best I guess but I'm not gonna like it. It's out of our control. You know you're going to inherit time magic soon I am I nodded. I know I know and I know I'm gonna be taken away soon and I'm gonna die and I won't see my biological grandchildren. If I ever have any but you watch out for them want you to borrow or you listening to my course you will take care of my grandchildren don't you ain't my job I don't wanna be involved in my grand children's lives. Why because they're not my grandchildren so your step-grandchildren know you are talking like this mama? Helena said I haven't even gotten married yet and you're already talking about kids I have Scarlet now I don't wanna have any children right now course I don't know I might consider it Mary soon the grandma please and if you're going to raise this child he's not your child you should at least marry so you can give her a better family so I don't have to be so off about it stop being so angry mom she said mama Helena said she looked grandma in the eye I just wanna have a normal family send mama Helena and you're not gonna be supportive of that adopting a child it's not your own. How is that normal? It is normal enough, isn't it? Are you back She accepted me and I saved her from her abusive brother who could've abused her later in the future I'm saving her life Her father wants me to take care of her so that's what I'm going to do I didn't want to marry her father because I didn't want to have to deal with her stupid brother that, I don't want to deal with that. I have to deal with him in school teaching him. I don't want to deal with him at home OK OK Mom all right fine but I am leaving you all to work this out on your own. I don't want to deal with this anymore.
Oh, I'm asking Mom is it you be supportive of my marriage That's all I'm asking I'm asking you that please I'm only asking because I don't want you to make a fool of me fine I'll support your marriage. I know you just got engaged to someone you just met We've been dating for a while Mama Helena said and she likes my daughter likes him too so that's what's most important. She's not your daughter she's the daughter of another person of another family why why why why why do you have to do this to yourself? I don't wanna argue well because I don't wanna argue with you Grandma said, and she left slamming the door behind her teleporting away with a teleporter orb all right now telephotos run a thing she just left. I can't believe this are you upset? Are you upset to just my grandfather disappointed But now I mean if you want to get married and start a family like this I'm fine with it just don't ruin it. OK, Mama Helena nods her head fine, OK. He also left and shut the door behind him was just Mama, Helena me, and Julius now in the house. Most of our family have left. he said around the table like a family of three Even though we weren't a family of three it felt like it rain soon we would be a family of three Mama, Helena, and Julius. I don't care what she thinks. Oh, Helena told Julius. What do you mean? He asked I mean I don't like that she's trying to boss me around Jen has been part of my life since date ever since I was born She was part of my life when I was born and after for a bit but now that I'm grown, she wants to be like the meanie the boss of me like all I am is a tool to her, do you think I'd be a tool for you and her just carry children no and I'm glad you adopt in Scarlet. I'm fine with having her as our child. If you felt like adopting her was the best thing ever then I'm OK with it I don't care how we have a family as long as we have one and if it makes you happy, but you told me you don't want to have kids and now you have to deal with me and having a kid I like Scarlet he said patting my hand I'll be glad to be her adoptive father he said I'll be glad to take care of her and love her no matter what comes our way whatever makes you happy Helena I'm happy.
OK tell her don't worry about it again and not worry about that. I'm not happy that you were happy that we are adults that we have adopted this little girl that you adopted this little girl and then we're gonna be a family soon I just can't believe Mother said Helena I can't believe she doesn't agree to any of this. Didn't you tell me that your mother is a Timecrest? Yes, she told me so but I don't understand her St. Helena and neither does my stepfather. We don't understand her at all I wish I did but I don't. I don't think I'll ever understand people like her not that I hate her I just don't understand.
Stop trying to make sense Julia said, and let's try to make sense of what we have right now our little family you, and Scarlet if we ever decide to have her children that'll be great too. I would like to have our kids I'm not sure about it though. I'm happy with one but what if I end up pregnant one day would you be OK with that Julius maybe he said OK maybe I will be maybe a lot I love it no matter what you decide to do I'm going to marry you, Helena and we're going to travel all over the world together will not be fun. I'd love that said Helena I love being in the small town, but if I had to travel the world, that would be great too I'd leave my teaching career though, but it's not much if someone can take my place one day at the schoolyard
Good, so let's enjoy what we have right this minute our little family of three, and our soon-to-be-married our soon-to-be wedding said Helena it's gonna be fun I love big parties. I think we should make it a smaller affair said Julius Why do you make it easier on us will have Scarlet and you and me and Sanguine. Would that be enough Cain of course Cain but when he has to bring soul with him, maybe not Maybe he'll find a babysitter for that little rascal that little rambunctious kid someone to keep him out of trouble and figure this out together Helena we're gonna be a family and I will take care of you and Scarlet. I will make sure you two are safe as the best I can and provide for us the best I can if that's what your mother is worried about, it'll be part of it. It might be part of it. I'm glad you want to provide for us Julius.
I overheard them speaking to one another Mama, Joe Mama Helenus, and sent me Papa Joe Julius's father Julius I don't know what I'm gonna call him yet, but I was excited because they were going to get married soon. No, I think I'm sad about that. I would never see my friend Claire if our family decided to travel around the world I would never see Claire again. It's hard enough now to see her because she's on the other side of the river but that's OK. I think that'll be all right. I guess it's what I have to sacrifice right so I wouldn't have to see my brother. I smiled at the thought that I wasn't near him anymore and was relieved that I would never have to see him again after we left Ravenswood The only thing that worries me is leaving my father behind My mama Helena said that we can travel back here, anytime we to see him and we could write him letters so that made me feel a little better I am happy that I'll have a mother and father, though even though they're not my blood family. but what I heard is, it's not blood that makes a family. It's a relationship and I hope that's what we will have in the future and I hope that we become as close as ever in the future.
I said in my new room feeling happy Like I said before I'm feeling super happy that I'm gonna have a family happy that we have a mom and dad to Dad one dad is my biological father and the other one is my good stepfather. also my adopted father is not a stepfather per se but I'm sorry that's not what I meant I'm not really how old is not wasn't married to my father so he's trying to make sure of that for you.
I was happy for the first time in a while I was gonna have a full family like I said, I never felt like I had a sense of belonging before I sense of purpose. I sense someone caring for me people caring for me fathers and a mother to care for me, and that was it, and a best friend who loves me even though she lives on the other side of the river good news to Mama Helena walking into my room. I'm sorry I overheard you and Julia talking I said looking at Mama Helena Oh it's fine Scarlet No I know you overheard us talking about us getting married and we decided to invite your friend to the wedding. It's only a small affair, but I think that Claire should come. She's your best friend after all, yes thank you I would love for Claire to be here for it. Thank you thank you well. I have another sleepover with her one day dear. Send Helena now let's get ready for bed. We got a big day coming soon and damn I know that you're excited and everyone is excited, when do we start traveling not for a while at least when when I can get things settled in the schoolyard and get things or I can get a replacement soon send Mama Helena. No don't worry about the schoolyard at the moment. Let's worry about you going to bed you had a big day today, I said as I stretched and yawned good girl
I was put to bed long day. I stretched and yawned and got under the covers mama Helena tuck me in or are you gonna read me a bedtime story out of a Thome? I asked not tonight dear she said you look really tired and I think you'll be able to fall asleep without one tonight all right I said as I stretched now get some good sleep and not in my head and pull the covers up. Good night Mama Elena good night Scarlet.
After that day, things were different Now things were happier around the place around the house, and at the schoolyard, people were talking about Mama Helena's wedding. Everyone and everyone's groups and other teachers were also talking about it and about if she gets married she'll be leaving Ravenswood, but I heard she's gonna stick around for a little while longer to be our teacher. I asked one person asked no but I know she's gonna be sticking around for a while. Is it true? Claire asked me and we sat together at lunch what is what are you? What do you mean? What's true I ask Claire about your mom Well your adopted mother is getting married is she gonna get rid of you? What are you asking? Usually, when people get married they get rid of the children they have adopted I don't think that's true Is she gonna leave you here in Ravenswood I don't think so. I think she wants to take me with her Claire oh, right OK? She better leave you hear her voice said coming up behind me and Claire I turned around and since someone was behind me, it was Soul what are you doing spying on my conversation with Claire's brother I overheard you talking about Miss Lena. What about Miss Lena? I asked.
Are you seriously you were gonna leave with her if she ever leaves this town And on my head yes, you're a traitor, scarlet. What is it concern you brother that I am that I would leave with Miss Lena? I said Because I want you to stay here with me, he said, It won't be fun without you here sister I don't want to be your sister anymore, so can you just stay out of my life It's not hard to do when I am here in this room with you sister Scarlet scar he says why are you calling me that that is your nickname scar but I don't want to be called that anymore. Just call me Scarlet. Are you gonna have your last name changed? Why would I change my last name to be adopted? I'm surprised you didn't that Miss Lena didn't change your last name Well she didn't want to. I don't know if she'll change it or not after she marries her, not Mary's, and on my head and that's what Claire and I were talking about that was it for your information Claire is invited to the wedding but not me your brother you don't belong there you don't belong to come to this wedding brother no wedding for you not after making me go blind in and causing our father to beat you. You don't deserve to come, but my no-good dad gets to come. The child beater why does he deserve to come but I don't because he wants to sell. He wants to support Miss Lena Scarlet said to Emmy, Since my family is getting bigger, I can't believe by adoption I will be related to the man who took Miss Lena away from us, and taking Miss Lena away from me, and taking you away, I can't believe I'm going to have to share someone like that. I don't like sharing Scarlet and then you'll have to share any more of mine If Miss Lena and Julius have any other children, I will hate their kids. I will hate them for my passion. I will Val for their death. I will kill them and your sister because you betrayed me No strong words coming out of a four-year-old's mouth, I said strong words well OK then. If that's how you want it to be brother.
I didn't want to become your enemy but if that's what you want consider us enemies now soul fine Scarlet if that's how you want to play little sister then we're enemies now you got yourself a new family so you're like a little disgusting little child kid creature thing you're the first besides our mother to betray me I don't count Miss Lena because she never was around me much but you've already betrayed me by living with her she is the enemy. What has she ever done? She took you away Scarlet. She took you away from me and now she'll pay One day she will pay dearly Like I said if she ever had any kids of her own, I will Val that I would kill them. I will destroy them one day Scarlet, and if you ever get in my way, little sister, I will kill you too, I would gladly die I said, for whomever Mama Helena decides to have if she ever decides to have any children of her own. I will vow to keep them safe from you brother I will make sure that no hair on their heads is ever harmed, and I will make sure that they will have happiness and long lives. You're a fool Scarlet, You're a fool to think that you will be able to ever defy me. You're turning into quite a villain brother and you're gonna be such a little hero aren't you Scarlet? whatever it takes whatever it takes to defeat you and I hate you brother I hate you so much. See thank you for ruining my life.
Well, if that's what you think of me and Scarlet, I'm fine I will be a villain. I will be a bad guy to you, especially since you are going to become part of my enemy's army you won't be able to stop me sooner or later like I said, if Miss Lena ever does have any children I will destroy them. I will crush them like the little bugs they are.
She won't be able to keep you protected from me for long and once I do, I will kill you too. I found this scarlet. The only reason I don't kill you right now is because you are a kid and I am a kid so we can't do that now, but I want to fight you sister I want to fight you and kill you don't reason I can't is because we're in the schoolyard but I will. I will. You will be sorry Scarlet, you're frightening me now aren't you brother Yes yes definitely. You chose to be with Miss Lena instead of being with Dad and now I have to deal with Dad. Why, Scarlet Why Because I said looking at him because that's the punishment you get for causing me so much pain brother, You deserve to suffer and I deserve to be happy and if you decide to come after Miss Lena's kids, Mama Helena's children, her actual own children, I will stop you, I'll figure out a way to defeat, you brother I'll figure out a way to make sure you don't win. I'll make sure you don't win. to show you that evil doesn't win.
He glared at me with an evil glare. You will be mine again, Scarlet Even if I have to force you to be mine no other man will take your take my place. If they do, they will die. I don't care if they're Miss Lena's children or not that will not protect you forever and if they do ever become born or whatever they won't be able to protect you you will die at my hand dying sister, die, and I want to cover myself and your dark blood. I said Well, I deserve to think dark thoughts about killing you maybe even sleeping with you when we get older I want us to have a high lifestyle, and then we can be birthday together, I can marry you that's incest. Wow, another having sex with you then you marrying someone else I want your body scarlet I start to think of at the age of four brother can you reach Denver and grab a hold of me pulling me up into his lap even though he was only four I tried to kiss me. And he was successful.
You taste delicious. Did you imagine that this would've been your first kiss my face peeled I know you want more little sister no I shook my head. No no no yes yes yes more I don't worry little sis we will have more I just need to find somewhere private, so we can be alone, Do you want to bet me even though we're like three and four he's out of his head that's so awful even if it wasn't incest licking his lips I want you sister you're my sister and I want to show her that you are my sister purring, he touched my knee I didn't feel the same butterfly effect that he felt he licked my ear. Why is your heart pounding like mine I don't feel the same for you Do you know that any siblings you want to stay in from mom from Miss Lena will be your siblings too, and you know that will be incest Not Really I said adopted family members don't count they have to be blood to count as incest so if I fall in love with if I do fall in love with my if mama Helena does have a boy, especially firstborn, I will be obligated to keeping him safe I mean by having him know just keeping him safe so you don't kill him brother I know you want to I know you want him dead whoever he dies Skyland and when you do die, your beautiful body will be in my arms. No no no no no yes licking hair from behind my ear Yeah sister, I need you sister you need me to
He took me behind the school grounds behind the schoolyard, playing with my hair as we went Come on little sister I want to show you something wonderful something great myself No one's watching not even your fake mother, licking his lips and then licking. I just get to lick them, and I just kiss them Now, yes I have you. He said you're mine. Now, Scarlet, a Holmes went around my waist before he could do anything else. Helena found us, Mama Helena Scarlet Are you OK? Horrorstruck her face my daughter scooping me up in her arms you declare that soul you are, you dare do you this she's my sister I can do whatever I want with her, not this did Helena I'm not gonna let Miss I'm not gonna have Scarlet come back to the schoolyard ever again I might have to come back here so I could teach this girl that is quitting just saw that you don't make a pass at her anymore so I had it with you. I've had it the only reason I'm not quitting is that I can't quit and I need this job but once I leave this town we're never coming back.
Well, I'm gonna stick around to when I get married and when I have my first child and then we're leaving Scarlet Save me for the rest of the day. Can I still see Claire Of course the first thing is to get you cleaned up and then we can take care of that will be the last day you will be homeschooled For now on you'll be homeschooled with with with me after school. If they keep me off in price replace me I'm fine with that too. The most important thing is your safety, Scarlet.
Mama Helen, I went to the school board and quit that day. I'm quitting and so is my daughter we're no longer going to be acquainted with the schoolyard you can replace me if you'd like but you're one of the best teachers we have I know Mama, Helen, I said, but I can't deal with a certain student. We can just expel him knowing he tried to rape her I am not letting this happen makes it worse because it was attempted rape under incest. She carried me all the way home took me to my room took me a good bath and then put me into my bed a nice warm bed with my purple blankets and sheets. Helena patted me on the head. Good night, my sweet daughter Good night Mama Helena and don't worry about your brother will never see him again soon I promise OK I said rolling underneath the covers and covering my head.
The next day I woke up I didn't get up to go to school, but I'm Helena dead. I still need to go for at least a couple more days Is there leave me here by myself I asked I was Scarlett Julius will be here with you you be OK with my brother giving you a hard time, he'll probably tell Claire I said hi I'll tell her to come over OK I'll tell her to come over and see you. I'm not in my head OK because she is my best friend. I know that don't worry Julia said Scarlet will be a good girl and I'll take good care of her while you're still working dear course, of course all right I'll see you later I hung out with my new soon-to-be father. He promised he was a great person to be around during the day while my brother was in school my actual father would come and visit. Julius wasn't that upset about it either. The two guys got along very well so I wasn't worried about them not getting along. Sometimes Kane would take us out and do things during the days when Mom and I were still working. I heard you're planning on traveling came sad to Julius. Yes, Julia said we're planning on traveling around the world, but will probably won't travel too soon. I need to quit her job and we have to get married first course. She's also wanting to have a baby before we leave, but I don't think she's gonna have a baby as soon as she marries me. I don't know how that's gonna work. Quitting her teaching job is going to be more difficult. She loves teaching in the schoolyard. I don't know how she's going to quit but she's going to. I told her she didn't have to quit. We could settle down and live here in Ravenswood we don't need to travel. But she told me that was his debit was she's like that is your dream do you want to travel all over the world and you've been traveling you don't want to settle and I told her I wanted to for her I want to give my family a good life, and I'm sorry that traveling will take me to Hk Scarlet away from you, Mr. Agnes but I am I just think it's the best course there's so much of the things I want to see and do and I think traveling would be great for Scarlet why? because Julia said that the further we travel away from Ravenswood, the safer, Scarlet will be from her brother and I know that's what Helena wants.
There's a Scarlet both my fathers looked at me. When was I going to be my soon-to-be father's adopted father and the other one is my actual dad? Hello Scarlet come on down I came down the stairs. You look good this morning I feel better but I'm still shaken up, I said, as I walked into the room into the living room where everyone else was waiting. What are the two of you disgusting I asked as I looked at them What we're gonna do next Julia said Next I thought for a moment next for your future Scarlet. Oh, OK I looked at them. Both of you will always be my fathers and I love both of you. You're so mature for your age. Kane said I can't forget that you were only three I know I'm only three I said, and I want to live a life of a normal third is never through a three-year-old a normal three year old I said, trying to get the words out. but I know with the threat of my brother I can't have that normal life I can't live normally because I have the threat of soul women over me. his threats I can't get them out of my head. He's threatening a new family and he's only four why would he need to threaten everyone that I love?
I want to grow up normal and be a normal kid, but I know that ain't gonna be possible. I know it's not gonna be possible for me to be normal. Why both of them said they looked at me my actual fuck, biological father in my new soon-to-be adopted. Father looked at me. I sent them with my fire magic. I know they were looking at me because I could sense them in their shoes. Because I know I'm gonna have to keep looking over my shoulder every day of my life and I want to keep looking it over my shoulders to know that my brother will be out to kill us running is an option because we can run away from him and try and hide as best as possible. Can we run and hide and settle in another town at least But I want to be able to see you my sweet, one keen said my dad said telling me I said write letters I know I know but I didn't think that if she would be serious and wanting to leave this town town she grew up in but it's the best thing Dad is the best thing that we could do you always be my father I said it's just that I just don't think it's safe for us for a new family to be here where my brother could kill us easily or you could kill me easily he's already threatened me also well I began. He said he would threaten the new kid. He said he'd friend my new adopted brother or sister and if mama Helena decide to have any more kids after that, he threaten to kill them all just to get at me for leaving for not being by his side, but I don't regret any of it he's cruel and manipulative and I don't like him I'm not gonna let him stand by and take everything and everyone I love away from me and I told him I vowed to keep anyone as my new family safe, even if it cost me my life even that means I have to die to protect this new family that's what I told him and then he took it out on me assaulting me and that's why mama Helena brought me back to hang out with her for the rest of the day at school and then come home and take care of me and that's why she decided to take me out of the school for now, so I guess that's the best thing I guess I will homeschool you say Julius a Hwy Square on the things you were learning, but also I will teach you the ways of being human scarlet I almost forgot you're human I'll teach you how to be human I don't know would be so impressed. He said he should be so impressed at how much you know and learned.
OK, you can teach me it'll probably be a very interesting experience I mean, my father would be impressed. I told Julius that's what I meant, but Helena would be too. She would also be very impressed and how much you would teach me about humans. You learn more than you do in the schoolyard so you don't need to worry about your education Scarlet. I went about my magic. You can learn that on your own, so Julius I don't have any magic OK transfer. I guess it'll be best for me to work on it on my own anyway You know I'm terrified of fire magic being blind it's very difficult Maybe one day you'll have a sparring partner with Julius I can help you with your magic right now I hope you're on your own Scarlet, but I want to get stronger so that I can protect you and mama Helena and our new family for my evil brother I will get stronger I promise
I said who is impressed about your learning, and that your father came right course I said my dad left. It was just me and Julius now. That's why I started my words earlier he said about saying him he whatever, so what do you wanna do next? I don't know I said being not in school bothers me. I want to say that you could play with Claire later she said that Claire can come over that would be nice. I want to have a good friend like her. In my life, I said OK now I guess I could go practice my magic then all right then you can do that stay in the yard OK I'm not I went out and practiced my magic. The fire magic I was excited I was going to have a complete family, a mother, and a father, and that was happiness for me. I still had my other father, my biological father too, but I will have an adoptive father as well family may one day I have to learn to protect so I need practice I have to be able to defend whoever so I have to try I have to try I tried hard. It wasn't easy to practice my magic right now, but I wanted it to be impressive. I want to protect my family now that I have a family to protect.
Later that day I was ahead and I came home I quit my job Saint Helena you're not going back to the schoolyard. Julia said he asked her no she said I quit. I can't deal with the soul and then Scarlet isn't there, so what's the point A new teacher will take my place a new teacher will take my place and I will just just not take it you know. I told him that I was working on having a family and they were fine with that. I just wonder if my family will ever return to the school as well. Me and Scarlet or any of my new children would join and go to the school I told him I wanted to travel eventually so I won't be able to stay around. I just wanna be around long enough to have kids here at least once you're not taking up your mother's suggestion I am going to have my kids I want to have my children, but I wanna have it on my terms not my mothers How old I said looking at me and Julius right now I'm happy I save Scarlet from a bad situation and I feel good about it. I don't forget what I did a few months ago saving her. I know I know you don't he says and I'm really glad you have and we're gonna have a little family.
We're going to get married and everything's gonna be OK. He said to her I know that I'm just worried I know she won't need to worry much longer. about soul and you want me to worry about him either huh That's the plan. Julia said you won't have to worry about the soul either. That's good very good good good good. I am glad I don't have to worry about my soul anymore. Helena said we were going far away, so Julius eventually we will travel as far away and far is wide to get away from him for your sake and for and for Scarlet, my dear, so will be just a distant memory. and he won't be able to kill us if that's what he desires and Scarlet will be safe in that what you wanted. Helena nodded her head. Yes, I want our family to be safe more than anything. I want us all to be safe and they will be don't worry everyone will be protected and safe OK good I don't have to worry I wanna say that I am grateful Helena said.
I'm also happy I'm also happy that I'll be starting a new life with you Julius new life with you and Scarlet will it all be as happy as a happy family of three could be? But I feel a little guilty about why he asked because I'm taking Scarlet away from her father. I just hope that he doesn't resent me for this and then I'll be taking Scarlet far away from Ravenswood soon I don't have to worry about that for a while because we live a few months here maybe a little longer, but I know you want to travel and show me an Alysia yes and I want to travel and see you and see you too and I know that would be good for Scarlet as well And I want her to have everything the whole world, life and freedom, protection, and love, safety, and family that cares for her And I know our marriage will bring her that life that she's always wanted a complete family.
no, we all went to bed. Everyone finished talking. It was a long day. Sleep would be the best right now for all of us. I was quiet in the house. Sleep is hard for me. I Toston turned in my bed all night. The long thing about what I should do to protect this family. Remember my conversation with Julius earlier I didn't listen to the conversation after that though. So I didn't know quite what they were planning to travel. The only thing I caught out of it was the traveling part traveling out of Ravenswood where are we going to go? Are we gonna settle? Are we just gonna travel? What are we gonna do? Are we going to find another town and settle there? I didn't know exactly what we're gonna do next but I knew we were going to do something. Incredible. I settled under the covers. Nice warm covers put them over my head and fell asleep peacefully I was really tired, especially after practicing my magic for a while, it was tiring, but I felt good afterward, I was happy that I would be seeing my friend Claire soon I still get to see her even though we will not be seeing each other in the schoolyard anymore. It's safer for me I'm just happy I won't see Soul anymore. His threats still played in my head about how he wanted to hurt me and my family was soon angry that I chose to be with another family instead of him, but I didn't take his word for it that he would save me a retake me well, I wasn't gonna let that happen Especially to kill my family my new family that I just got into love and adore no way am I letting him take that from me knowing person who comes to see me is my father, but I haven't seen him because I did see him earlier today, but maybe he'll come to see me later But I'm so tired now, so I guess I need to get some sleep. I rolled over closed my eyes and fell asleep long day catching up.
The next day was a busy one for us. I woke up not on my mama Helena had to come in and wake me a Hwy morning stretched. What's so important about you having to wake me up I asked not meaning Lee or Everly or anything just sleepy because I need your help, what's important about today the first day I'm quitting the schoolyard? " she said so I can stay home and be with you and Julius and to protect you, Scarlet. Oh, do you think oh do you think I'd be in danger being home alone no good night. We're gonna be a family soon. We need to make sure everything is prepped ready, and also I'm working on my wedding plans and getting married soon. Yes in a few weeks do you only know Julie's for a short time? I said, I know she said putting me on the head but we have to get married sooner or later and have to be quick we got engaged quickly and then we're getting married quickly, but it's been more than a few weeks it's been several months right? I said so what do you want me to do I asked her well why don't you help me out with some things a little family will be getting bigger soon. Is there another reason why not yet I know that this is going to be a big day for all of us and the big day is coming soon.
I was so excited knowing about this big day and a very big day was coming and I was so happy and so happy for Mama, Helena, and Tim to be Papa Julius and I was so excited they weren't gonna be very many people in the wedding party they weren't gonna be all the normal wedding party people it was gonna be a small affair. No, not like we go to do weddings, they wanted to marry quickly so it wasn't gonna be a bingo ceremony but that was fine. It would take a long time to plan a big wedding and they don't have a lot of friends and people to be in the wedding for a wedding party except for me of course and my dad and the witnesses besides agreed to do that with us he agreed to be the witness so we're so glad that you will be one of our witnesses Kane. I'm glad too Kane said Dad looking at him on the Helena. I know we only need two witnesses for this instead of just like you know a huge wedding party but it's a quickie wedding and we need it to be quick. Are you leaving very soon? no no, we're not leaving anytime soon for a while but we need to leave as soon as possible eventually will probably stay another year. Oh another year and Scarlet not being in school I thought you took her out so you could travel we we will travel next year, but we're staying in a full Nother year we're gonna stay long enough for some things it'll come up soon we want to do some things I want to properly take Scarlet out of her school you know and all that and it'll take a while to get all that paperwork done to Helena send looking at my dad, so that's why I'm also making sure it's OK with us too with you if we take Scarlet with us even though we adopt even though I have adopted her and you know you said it was OK. We won't be back for a long time.
A small little wedding was coming together and it's coming together nicely. Other people are coming. Of course, grandma and my other grandfather, not my actual other grandfather my master's adopted grandfather was coming and grandma, even though she was a little hesitant about me. her time was it coming yet so it was still good for a while she had to pretend to get along. I mean she didn't get along OK with Mama Helena and a soon-to-be father papa Julius, but it was me she didn't like much she didn't like that I was an adopted child. She didn't like that. I was adopted as a kid, but I wouldn't get any of the inheritance or whatever because I was adopted she'll never be one of us. Grandma said she'll never be part of this family. She's a part of this family mama Helena said Scarlet is my I adopted her. I saved her from an awful family why do you not agree with this? because you're too friendly with her father, even though you're going to marry someone else but I'm good friends with him. why can't they be good friends with Kane? Why is that a problem to you because being too friendly is a problem why is it a problem? because you're gonna leave you gonna leave this place you're going to leave and do other things and travel and you're gonna leave that guy here I have my reasons of why I'm not gonna be with him Mom one and this is the biggest reason why I fell in love with Julius to she said again and she size ha I well its complicated mom but it's because of her brother I can't Mary Kane because of soul you're not marrying the guy who adopted her the child from and become an actual family because you don't because you don't want to live with there with his firstborn son that's right he hurt Scarlet and I don't feel safe. That's why I quit my job as a teacher I didn't wanna work at the schoolyard anymore. I took Scarlet out of school not the first mistake you made as a parent no argue with me don't argue with me daughter. and since you'll be traveling all over the world, your daughter won't be in any kind of school neither will your child grandchild your actual grandchild they'll be traveling wrong with us. Are you pregnant? You're talking about grandchildren I'm not pregnant I'm just saying.
why are you so Henri? Because I'm coming to the end of my life dear and I want to see you happy even though I don't agree with this. What do you not agree with tell me. Why what do you not agree with?
I was listening to the two of them, argue back and forth about me. It was a terrible argument too.
Because I don't because you don't understand me daughter you don't understand what's going to happen to me soon and you don't understand what kind of person I am. What do you mean? What do I mean? What kind of question is that? I don't understand your tone daughter. You don't make any sense to me either mother you talk about things that I don't understand. You tell me things I don't understand and I want to understand but you won't let me because you wouldn't you wouldn't believe me and you wouldn't understand me you and your father will never understand me, Helena, just like you won't understand your children. What does that even have to mean I won't understand my children. I will always understand my children unlike you who don't want to give me the chance to even understand you Mom I want to can you let me understand you Can you let me be there for you Mom let Dad and I be there for you let us understand you if I told you what I am you wouldn't believe me you wouldn't want to either daughter you want to throw me over but you're my only child Helena so please please let me explain things to you. You never told me that you love or care for my mom you never even told me that you were there for me, but I'm going to be there for Scarlet and my other children if I ever have any of my own, he will have children of your own. Violet said looking at her he will have your children Helena's grandma was giving her a stare down. I don't understand why are you saying I'll have my children, as soon as you get married, I was hoping you would do this right away. I hope that you conceive as soon as possible.
I want to know and understand what the hell I said to my grandmother tell me what you can't tell me tell me what you can't tell me, or my grandfather I mean to my father well, your father already knows what I am, but he doesn't understand either that you have two fathers. I already knew that Mama Helena said staring, I know that already but what does that have to do with anything and why and kids and all this stuff and with me so special about whatever it is you want to tell me now tell me why why why to tell me why you're beating around the bush and talking in riddles I want to understand I don't understand because you don't want to be direct because it would make you upset Eleanor it'll make you upset daughter OK all right then.
I'll tell you now I guess and how you were conceived Eleanor Eleanor's eyes went wild win win lied with astonishment. Luckily I wasn't there listening to this conversation. The reason I know about it is because Mama Helena told me about it later and when I heard it, my face was shot too. The reason I'm worried about this is because I'm a Time crust daughter there are things you will not understand the reason I want you to marry so quickly and have kids because I want your firstborn child to be a Timecrest at first you wouldn't recognize that signs until you have them tested for their DNA, but that's what I want. I want them to carry on my legacy you have the blood of a Timecrest in you which means that you'll be able to give birth to one. Oh, what see you told me you wouldn't understand and that's why your adopted daughter cannot pass on the same legacy. Why not because she's not born of you I don't mind and care who you marry. As long as you carry on the seed I talk to the first human about this. He said that he said that he wouldn't be going to help because he likes Tom crest being random and he's upset that I will not be carrying on that I will not let them be worn randomly but I'm happy with my decision. He said I don't want to have a child that's gonna be my grandchild to be a Timecrest now I'll have to learn to care. I'll have to get them to join me and I told him yes he will but it won't be random and predictable anymore, as long as the Timecrest Mary's another time for Mary or someone else it'll be carried on over and over and over again even if the person dies I will make sure OK I will make sure you're a little dream would happen, but you're not a guarantee that hill that they'll live a long life I'll make sure that they get time magic, young, so Ezra could take them away young then not either because that's what you want in that. What do you want Violet yes that's my dream, so will you let that happen for me let our child carry on that legacy fine but it ain't gonna be worth anything. It'll end though, but I'll do my best I guess to get them to work for me. It'll interfere with the pregnancy, so could happen I guess. thank you.
now do you see and understand no mama Helena said no no you manipulated me worse you're gonna manipulate my body to have something I can't have you won't have a baby naturally it's just a DNA will be altered. Grandma said. You're going to alter my DNA enjoy this is DNA will have some of the kid will have some of our genetics but not all of them I nodded her head yes, aren't you paying attention you'll be the birth chart, birth, mother, and your husband Julius will be the birth father, but also not at the same time. And when they're born, I will die. What do you mean that when you pass my child will be born and my child will never know you as a grandparent then why don't you get to know Scarlet while you can I don't want her to be my grandchild I've written her off, I'm sorry Helena I can't believe you did this. I can't believe you're going through with this adoption thing and she doesn't even call you mom she calls you Mama Helena because that's what I told her to call me. That's what I wanted to call her and my husband and father Julius. Is there something wrong with that mom? I feel like we had this conversation earlier. And I know we did.
and then you tell me that I will lose my only child that would be my birth child to first mate Ezra, that's right if they ever pen on how old they are when they inherit time magic then I'll do whatever it takes for them to never get that far I will discourage them. I will make sure I mean I'll make sure they have a nice life and maybe want them to become a time age but then I have to lose them. I don't like this idea you don't have a choice do you daughter oh my hell and I shook her head. No, I guess you're right I guess I don't have a choice. but I wish I did.
and being my daughter, you're also a curse curse you won't know about the curse because I'm not gonna tell you that you and your husband are cursed not just with the baby but with other things too so that's all I'm gonna tell you about it.
let's finish the argument on your wedding day OK? OK, she said looking at Rimmer as long as you don't bring this up anymore OK all right luckily your child will not have to know about this. They won't have to know about their heritage. I won't tell them they will be born with the knowledge of the first human in their heads, and want their desire to be a tie, mage a pocket watch, will come to them as well, OK anything else? No, not that I know of.
OK
OK
that's what I said OK. fine that's what I know it's that's what you want it to be as I'll let it then if you want me to be the mother of this special child that I will not be able to understand that's fine.
The big day came. It's been a few weeks since the time that the grandma came over everyone was there everyone that was supposed to be there went off without a hitch. It was beautiful how Mama Helena described it if you don't want a big wedding ceremony but I got to watch it and witness everything that happened, and now I had a new father and a mother I was happy at least now I don't know how any better this could get having a mother and father's I don't know if life to be any better than this, but for now, it was peaceful and I'm happy I don't know if I could be anymore happier even though they're not my real parents only adopted things can be different for me so that's how I feel right now and I love my new parents are my actual father is also still here too even congratulated mama, Helena, and Papa Julius as well and I was just Dad no no so which makes things easier and better because so being here would make things worse and I'm glad that that's not happening. I have both my new parents and my father as well and now everything is complete for now. I don't think it can get any better than this paradise for me.
and ending this chapter here it's been pretty long, and I think we have enough pages. The next chapter will have to do it will be a different chapter. I think, having the wedding at the end of the chapter was great, and I think that you all would agree with me that having it here is better than having it at the beginning of the chapter the next chapter chapter 4 I'm not sure yet we'll have to see I have to think about it and I hope you enjoy this chapter for a while. I still working on my other Timecrest stories, so I hope you go and check this check them out as well.
