This will be a mixed chapter between Riley, Scarlet, and Luther all three of them will get a chance. This is a big deal because this is when Ash first comes into the picture. Well Riley you'll have to find out.

Let's begin this chapter.

In this chapter Ash will be born finally and another person for Scarlet to protect. Can she do it now she has to protect Ash and Luther can it be done? It's finding out.

This chapter will be like I said a three-person, chapter, Riley, Luther, and Scarlet.

...

And we begin with Luther

...

Luther

Mom was ill. I don't know what was going on, but she was sickly at the moment.

I was so thankful for Scarlet because she's been my rock this whole time sometimes she'll leave and visit Porsche. She told me she'd have to go and visit her mother. I didn't understand what she meant by that but a secret she told me Porsche was her mother by adoption, and sometimes her father would come to visit there and she wanted to see him or receive letters or your sin letters. I understood what she meant because I had a letter box which was a human object that could send letters, but it could only work in the quarantine zone.

The only reason she was able to leave whenever she wanted was because she had a good amount of supply of teleport orbs. I told her they wouldn't work here in the in here in quarantine zones and the guards monitor this, and she told me that she wasn't part of the union I mean, she was part of the union, but not part of the quarantine zone is completely and she wasn't processed. It was just a recovery story.

Also, she told me she was leaving for a short time. She needs to go see Porsche today something's off with Miss Helena. She thought in her head so she had to go tell her to tell Porsche I guess.

I was now 13 and she was now 17 respectively And I've been getting to lean on her more and more and less on Riley. Riley was gonna be here too. Whatever this was going on your mother is pregnant. I knew that for a while father said, but she's about to give birth and we need to get to Dr. Crawford now.

Are you sure we're gonna have to walk there? I heard Mother complain. How else are we gonna get there? Didn't you just come to the house? Fine son go fetch Dr. Crawford please I did as I was told. So I went to fetch Dr. Crawford from his office.

And told him to come to my house because mom was having a baby oh he said, putting out his cigarette I shouldn't smoke in front of the child because I'm going into your home and I need to be respected respectably he says.

...

Riley

I was also sent not because I wanted to heal, but because I always came and visited and I heard that they were having another baby in their house so I came. I was eight years old now I was hoping that Scarlet wasn't gonna be there. I don't like seeing her and Luther has some kind of connection to her even though he says he doesn't. I swear they're in love and mother my new mother Helena told me to tell her to stay out of my way if I want to pursue him.

...

Nami Ash will be helpful to me maybe I can use Ashton away to keep myself to keep Scarlett away. I heard she's not gonna be there for a moment so that'll be nice. Maybe she won't get in my way.

She doesn't have me fooled for a minute she's saying that she is a newly processed human descendent, but she doesn't fool me for any second or any moment at all.

Nabil I want to dispose of her for the liar she is.

She's a natural I can send her magic.

I could have been arrested for fraud and been locked up in the Valdor palace in jail, but I'm not going to today.

No today I'm coming because Nutella is having a baby another baby and Scarlet won't be here to ruin it.

I know Luther will want her to be here, but I don't think she's going to come back. I saw that she left to go to the merchants' union. Well stay there Scarlet and don't come back today. If I had my say you wouldn't come back at all.

Even though I know you will.

...

Scarlett

I teleported away to go visit Porsche for a bit. I know today was a special day in Porsche and Porsche's mother wanted me home, but I knew that Miss Helen was having a baby today and I had to tell Porsche about it. I had to tell Mom, so I teleported there to tell Porsche and Annalise Helen was having another baby and she might have to have a new assignment.

I got there oh there you are Annalise said as she hugged me. I thought you weren't coming at all. I was coming but only for a short time, I said I got a return back to see the baby of course baby Helena is having a baby. I said what is this now Porsche said coming in Miss is having another one and audited. Do you know what that means Scarlet you'll have to protect them both and bring them both to me soon.

...

I can't take the kids from their mother, I said also there's Julius to think about too their father. I can't just take them from their father and mother.

Maybe you won't have to maybe you can convince Julius to come with you I thought about that maybe I could maybe I can convince Julius to come with me and he can bring Ash and Luther with him.

That's a good idea Annalise said we just need to figure out a way to do it.

What do you want me to do now I asked what's my next assignment I wondered what is it. Do you want me to do Porsche well she said I want you to continue your job Scarlet and teleport back there quickly. The baby should be born at any moment.

OK Porsche I will go now I said, as I left and teleported back into the building before the guard saw me.

And then I rushed to the room, where Helena was crying about the new baby I knocked on the door and Julia said who is there it's me Scarlett I said may I come in if it's her and let her not come I heard Helena's voice I'm sorry, but you can't come in the only family I thought then I saw Riley flying in and they let her in the family what am I just a friend nothing no one a servant Riley landed and saw me. Oh, I thought you were gone she said what do you mean I asked what do I mean? I mean you're just a servant Scarlet you're nobody she said, and I don't believe your story. I don't believe it at all and you're lying to us.

You're not a friend you're a stranger you're not a family member either so get out of this house. I live here now at least part-time. I said you don't live here. I do I said blaring at her. Even though I couldn't see her, I sent her do you wanna fight me not inside the house? I said no but outside the house and I can make you leave Scarlet.

Not now I said important baby is being born right now and I want to see I said you won't you won't be allowed. Only family is allowed and your family Riley. Are you family Riley? I asked are you I am Riley said I'm an even closer friend of the family than you will ever be Scarlett. You are nothing and nobody you are. No one.

Don't get in my way Riley said fine. I said I'll wait out here until the babies are born until Luther comes out. I want to see him you won't. He'll be in there for a while.

...

Riley

I glared at Scarlet, even though she couldn't see me I could see her and I could see her right through her façade and disguise of being a guard or whatever she's pretending to be or some kind of human descendent or something or whatever she's depending I asked her to ban me to tell her to tell me the truth of what she was and who she was and she said fine you should know my secret but only you shall not tell Helena she said you swear you won't tell her only Luther is the only other one who knows my secret of who I am she said.

...

I'm not just Scarlet she said I'm Scarlett Delrose daughter of Porsche Delrose. What relation do you have to Porsche's daughter she adopted her daughter I'm not her biological child. Scarlet said she adopted me when I was three and I've been living in the merchant union.

I was raised by Porsche. She said again. So you have been lying to us you're not gonna tell Helena anything I won't but does Luther know you're a little Prasa oh he has to know who I am. I said he has to know that I am Scarlett Del Rose. Scarlett said I'm a spy from the Union Center to protect Luther and keep an eye on him and make sure he's safe.

And keep him out of trouble and if things get rocky, I said, I heard her say I will take him away You mean you kidnap him no, I will take him away with his consent. I wouldn't take him without his consent.

I was at least relieved to know who Scarlett was and that she was a spy from Porsche of all people.

This is my job and my purpose she said, and you won't get in my Way, Riley princess Riley, she said again.

I glared at her. She didn't notice she couldn't see my face anyway besides, you wouldn't wanna date him she said again he is only 13 years old and you're only eight years old. You couldn't date him either she argued you are 17 doesn't matter. It'd be better for me than you.

OK, aside find Scarlet but I gotta get back in that room and you have to stay out here she did as I told her to she stood there as she was told and I went back inside the room who was it? I heard Helena say as I came into the room, it was just Scarlet returning from the union oh, she does visit the union from time to time for some reason Charlotte here's face lit up you're not gonna go out and see him are you I asked and his mother also asked the same question just for a minute it's not like I'm the one who's waiting for my wife to have a baby. He said as he walked out of the room,

...

Luther

I walked out of the room upset that Scarlett was standing outside Scarlett. I said Luther she said she sent me and hugged me close release showing on her face. You're OK of course I'm all right. I've just been inside a room. Are you OK? I am fine. She said as I ran my hands in her beautiful red hair.

Your mother's having a baby yes I said to her yes mom is having a baby right now. Why don't you come inside but I'm not family. Oh, don't be nonsense. Your family to me you're more family to me than anyone. I said, as I wrapped my arms around her as far as it could go you're my family Scarlet nonsense to whatever Riley says, as we walked inside.

Then Riley glared at us Luther what is she coming in here for a cause I let her protectively roughing an arm around Scarlett's waist I might be shorter because of being 13 but I was growing yeah I said why.

Mom, why do you have to be so cold Miss Scarlet because she's not good enough for you so you think I'm dating her I only think of her as a family through it being my sister right now. She's been close to me all these years and now you think no no no don't think those things.

...

Keep yourself out of stress I heard Father say you're having a baby Helena keep yourself less stressed, please dear OK I heard Mom say and if Luther thinks that Scarlett is family then let him he's been happier since she's been here.

I smiled at Scarlet and she smiled back at me, but Riley did not smile. She was not happy and neither was mom either.

Then the moment came and the baby was born, mom pushed and pushed as the baby came out. A little child was born. It looked like the father in some ways brown hair Sandy blonde hair got the sandiness for mom and big violet eyes just like me so cute.

And then, after all of it, Mom fell asleep. She needed to rest a while after the baby was cleaned up and the umbilical cord cut. I was handed the baby like I was the father, even though I wasn't I guess because I was the closest to Dr. Crawford at the moment And Riley is not the picture cute she said, snapping the photo.

...

Then Father asked to see him so I handed him to him. What are we gonna name him? We'll wait till your mom wakes up before we come up with a name Father said.

OK, I said fine. We'll do that.

...

Riley

I didn't know the baby's name yet, but I held the baby in my hands. I didn't hold the baby, but Luther was so I took a picture. He was smiling big this picture will come in handy one day I thought to myself and then I pocketed the photo I didn't wanna share this photo with anyone.

And then Miss Helena woke up my baby. Where is he don't worry Mom Luther said I have the baby right now. He handed the baby back to his mother, so Ash could feed he was hungry. We didn't know that that was what we were gonna name him, but she put that on the birth certificate we named him Ash she said perfect name. We were happy that was a good name. I liked it too. It was cute.

And I guess Scarlet liked it too because she smiled as well. What are you smiling about? I snapped at her and she began to cry. Riley Luther said slowly you just made Scarlet cry. I don't care you didn't need to yell. Yes, I did. She is so annoying? When are you gonna ditch her Luther never said she's my companion now and forever. She'll always be my companion Riley. You don't seem like a good enough companion for me, we're gonna argue about this.

It's the two of you are gonna argue. Julia said, go outside and fight.

...

Dr. Crawford said yes please take that outside. No fighting inside around the baby. Now go if you're gonna fight take it outside. I didn't want to continue fighting, but Luther was mad so we went outside and argued more. Then I heard Scarlett ask Kelina a question.

...

Scarlet

With a shy voice, I asked Miss Helena if I could hold the baby no she yelled you're not allowed to hold Ash ever I don't trust you, Scarlet. I never had. She said I never trusted you to take care of you when you were blind and I don't trust you around my baby being blind. I don't trust you around my son being blind. I will take our fight outside too, but I'm struck in this bed right now so all I can do is yell at you. I don't need you here to take care of us. Scarlet leave us now and never come back you causing too many problems in our family Scarlet.

If you don't want me, I said I'll take your son and leave you won't do that Scarlet I can if your son ain't happy I can take him away. What authority do you have authority do you have to take my son away? Helena argued, dear Julia said trying to calm down his wife, Scarlet, please I'm just trying to make a point. I said please. I'm just trying to make a point if Luther ain't happy then there's no point of course he's happy. He's not happy I said, and soon you won't be able to understand him let us take him to the union I said why I said well you wouldn't understand why because you wouldn't be able to understand if I told you the truth, so you've been lying, not really my name is actually Scarlett I said.

I know it's you Miss Helena said I know it's you Scarlett Agnes I'm not Scarlett Agness anymore. I said I'm Scarlett Delrose adopted daughter to Porsche Delrose. I'm her spy. I said I'm in her eyes and ears of everything that has been going on in this family, I've been here watching every little moment you all have been having I report most of it back to Porsche too.

For an evaluation you in evaluating us of course I said no way I could get in from my mission is to tell you who I am not to tell you that I'm not only Luther knows who I really am and I guess now Riley does too, and I couldn't hide it anymore so I had to tell the two of you get out of my house. I said get out of my house Scarlet I knew that would happen when you found out, I said, please Julia said, putting a hand on my shoulder with Scarlet please leave. I looked at the baby touching the baby's face. When Helena smacked me don't you dare touch my baby she said? I started to cry as I started to walk out of the room is for the best. He says I'll help you pack your things and you leave. Don't come back, but Luther he'll be fine. At least let me say goodbye to him nodded. It's the least I can do for you, Miss Scarlet he said gently.

And what if your son wants me to stay it's not up to him it's up to us and it was just me. I would let you stay all the time. I didn't mean to lie, but it was the only way I could cover to be here, I understand Julia said don't pay me pack Helen I couldn't and she wouldn't anyway I patched my things. Well, thanks for the hospitality and I had the opportunity to be here. I said the sadness in my eyes.

I said goodbye to model one as well. He was nearby by Scarlet model one said I'll tell Luther I'm gonna tell him myself I said to Model One stay out of mischief little robot. He beat and a digital smile, even though I couldn't see it, I heard his beeping sound. Then we went outside and there they were. I sent him. He was done fighting with Riley for the time being I sent him and hugged him tightly. Julius holding my things for me for the time being so I can say a proper goodbye. What's going on Luther asked I'm leaving. I don't want to, but your mother has pushed me out of the house, she doesn't want me around with the new baby. Luther frowned. Riley shows a triumph and smile. Yes, you're leaving. Remember that I care about you. I said gently and I'll come back for you, Luther I promise I'll come back for you and Ash too. I'm not leaving you both here. What is hell what if you master or not master but what if Miss Porsche says you have to come back? I'll tell her I can't because Miss Helena pushed me out, but I'll come back. I promise.

...

...

I'll be back Luther I said with tears in my eyes as I held Luther close to me telling him that's gonna be OK and I'll be back soon. I promise I might have a new mission to protect you, but I can't do it right now. please don't forget that I have touched you. I never will he says and I'll never forget who you are Scarlet and I will always care about you I know you will so don't worry. Everything's gonna be OK since where his cheek was and kissed his little cheeks. You're so precious take care time pressed.

I will he says again, Miss Del Rose, as the tears fell from his eyes. I felt everyone fall into my palms. I didn't wanna leave this little boy behind, but I had no choice right now. I'll be back for him I promise.

I have a feeling that my time as a spy isn't over and Helen is gonna be sending me, not Helena Porsche. Send me back here or have a different spy mission for me to protect him or something but right now I can't. I'll have to come up with another opportunity.

...

Right now I gotta go and as I walked out actually I teleported away with my things back to the union and as I left, I wished him well and I wished Ash and the family well .

Then I went back to the union Porsche asked me why are you back? Helena sent me out. I said I'm gonna be staying here now for a while until you have another mission for me. I will she said, but it's good that you wanna take a break anyway she said Annalise has been missing you. I've been missing Annalise too. I said, taking my things back to my room.

When I have another mission for you, I'll let you know your time for a spy for that time that period is over anyway she says he stayed as longer than I thought and he stayed longer than I was expecting Porsche said no she said let us do something else and plan for your next mission soon but let's relax a while. I smiled OK whatever my next mission is I'm ready for it.

Whatever it is, I know it's gonna be big.

But I'm thankful for the time off for the time being and I can just relax. I asked Porsche if I could pack a little overnight bag to go visit father no I don't think it's safe there. Your brother is there. Oh yeah, I forgot I said well can you tell Father I want to see him soon of course dear thank you Mom I said to Porsche anytime Scarlet she said, and then I went off to rest I went and sat in the garden to rest .

Thinking about everything that little eight-year-old Riley said how cruel she was to me and everyone else too except for Julius and Luther, but Ash is the same. I don't know. And I hope that if I ever return I can stay longer or bring Luther and Ash here that's what I'll do. I'll figure out a way to bring them here to the union I will fulfill my promise. I will I will rescue them and that is what I planned for.

Luther Timecrest, I'm going to rescue you. I promise you this and that and everything.

Even if it is risky, I will do it. I will do it.

Because my time because my time being a spy isn't over yet, I'm not done being a spy.

That I do know, and I know we're due for another reunion together Luther and took a nap under the trees, thinking about everything resting for the time thinking about Luther and those eyes of his even though I had never seen them he told me that they were beautiful well I imagine them and Elise teased me when I woke up from my nap. Scarlet has a crush I laughed. Do you think so oh yes, I know the way you're looking the look on your face. Annalise said as we returned to my room, room you have a crush on him Scarlet I just laughed no way, yeah you do. She said again you have a crush Annalise said and it's so cute. I love this eight-year-old girl so much. I brought her out of her shell and she brought me out of mine.

One day you'll have to tell him how you feel Scarlet I said no way am I gonna tell him that you tell him how you feel you will tell him one day you'll have an opportunity to tell him and shout it from the rooftops she said no, I said laughing so what was it like being in the quarantine zone she asked you know I've been coming home from time to time I know, but was it like there it's not what you think it's hard there and it's not the best to live. I should've been the spy Annalise said I've been less suspicious. You can't be in the quarantine zone.

Why not she asked just curious about the Valerian guards Annalise nodded of course that's why I'm not upset. I'm just wondering I would've been a lot better though. We could've done it together Annalise that would've been nice. Annalise said, but I don't think we'll get to your missions are different than mine yes, my missions in this eight-year-old missions are different than my own. You'll rescue him and I'll bring him here. I said I'll bring him here and we can be a family you and me and him and his sibling Ash I told him about the baby and how cute Annalise said I'm so happy.

I asked her what she's been doing and up to. I've been setting the union books. She said I've been doing that for the last several years like you Porsche's gonna pick one of us I knew that one of us is going to be the new union, leader, or helper, and the other is gonna find a different career path with your missions. I think you'd be better at being a beige Scarlet your magic is extraordinary. You should be a mage I smile at the thought. OK, I'll pursue to be age and you pursue to work in the union. Anna smiled OK she said and we'll both watch out for Edgar. Oh yeah that jerk man well well we'll do that too.

Then we went to bed thinking about each other's missions. I will drive to BH and Annalise will be part of the union. That'll be good. Should be better at it than I I have other important things to do like taking care of the Timecrest and making sure he's safe and hopefully seeing him again my Luther I fell asleep dreaming about him, even though he was 13 and I was 17 I dreamed about my Luther my Timecrest holding me in his arms, his violet eyes so beautiful and warm telling me that he loves me. I can't believe this Helena did me dirty. I'm gonna have to get her back for this .

I told him I'm gonna rescue you. I'm gonna bring you to the union so you can be safe with me. They wanna become a major and other ways you will be safe you and your sibling. I'll bring you both here. I'll leave your father and mother alone, but bring you here to be with me. He laughs. OK as we laid there and I lay there in my actual reality thinking about him my sweet Luther, my child my time pressed.

then I wake up and it's all different and my day was different after this. I hung out with Annalise and we were just do nothing all day. .

ending here

in this chapter, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I thought it was so much fun. Also Scarlett wasn't staying the whole time. She came back to the union, but not with Luther. She came back by herself. Don't worry they'll be more interactions with her and Luther and Ash and everybody there's also the Valdo age trials. Scarlet is going to enter not just to protect Luther, but they're on her way to be a mage she isn't gonna join the major trials to just so she can become part of the major army. It's more of a test to see how well she does as a major all right then I'll see you in the next chapter which will be chapter 5 not five sorry three I am so upset. I have been working on so many stories. I said that because I did my story for the Chronicles of Narnia and I was on chapter 4 going into chapter 5, so that's why I said that but no this will be chapter 3 all right I'll see you then.

next chapter will be chapter 3

next chapter chapter 3
