The sibling finally managed to get out of the spooky manor and return to their camp. The siblings have no idea what Lucretia has in store for them there. Alice watched the fire dancing and crackling among the logs as she was lost deep in her thougths.
'THey should be back..he called an hour ago..'she thought to herself.
"They'll be fine."assured Laura as she saw blue light luminating from behind some bushes.
"Over there!"pointed Laura. "MoM!"said Lizzie as she ran to embrace her worried mother.
"Alice..there's something that I have to tell you.."stammered Henry as he greeted his fiancee. "SHut up and hug me! I was so worried..but I'm so glad you're all safe."said Alice as she squeezed Henry in her arms. Henry breathed in relief but he knew he still had to tell her his secret somehow. "I want my rest. I'm tired."yawned Emma as the others decided to stay by the fire,othersd wanted to get some sleep.
Riven on the other hand approached Lizzie.
'Lizzie, can we talk by the lake?There's something I need to tell you."he said. "Uh sure.."said Lizzie as she pulled out a brush.
"Do you mind if i tie my hair here?It's really hot here."said Lizzie. RIven noded his head.
"You have both the mummy's telepathy and Emma's vision's right?"he asked Lizzie.
''Sort of, I cant just control them,why?"she asked. "Wait..wait..what are you talking about Henry? YOu can do magic? A ghoul is after you and you need to protect a medallion?You're telling this to me nights before our wedding?"asked Alice. Laura gave Henry a questioning look. What got into his son.
"You need to know this."said Henry reluctnantly.
 "You're serious?Did you hit your head back at the woods?Okay, you're freaking me out right now!"said Alice as she stood up. She turned her back against Henry then closed her eyes.
"Alice wait!"said Henry. "Okay then if you're a mage or whatever, show me a magic trick!Or show me this magic medallion of yours!"teased Alice though her heads were full of doubts.
 ''Turn around first."said Henry as he pulled out the medallion from his pocket.
"What kind of trick would you like to see?"asked Henry as he placed the medallion around Alice's neck. Alice chuckled.
"You're serious?"she asked as she laughed at her fiance. "Okay..let me think..can you pull a rabbit out of a hat?or disappear the re appear?"she asked.
"No..I cant do that."said Henry.Alice laughed and shook her head.
"Okay Henry, stop this nonesense now! Too bad!"
 Then a pair of large ebony wings sprouted from Alice's back. "You see Henry, I can!"she said.
 Laura stood from her spot.
"Herny watch out! Those wings! I know those! Those are LUcretia's wings!"screamed Laura. "WAit!What have you done with Alice?"asked Henry.
"Alice?It's me honey, take a closer look."she teased as she raised an arm. A glowing ball of energy swirled from her palms.
"Now it's my turn to do some magic!"she said as she was flung the neregy ball at HEnry. "No!"screamed Lizzie as she pointed at the nergy ball. It flew away and hit a tree instead. "HEnry duck!"warned Lizzie as she lifted Alice with her mind. Then she threw him away into a tree near the lake. 'I hear a noise! WHat's going on?"asked Emma as she and Jane rushed out from their tents. Lizzie was about to create a fireball when Henry stopped her. "Alice, all these years, was it just a trick?"he asked.
"TO get the medallion?Yes. You were immune from my charms as a siren so i had to earn your trust. Thank you so much."said Alice/Lucretia as she stood up.
''Everyhting! From Savannah, to you getting lost and finding the manor,It was all part of my plan, right, Riven?" Riven felt his head ache.
"You're a part of these too?"asked Jane.
"Wait..I can explain..arg.."he said as Lucretia noded her head.
"No..NO my pet. Now, use your powers to destroy them."ordered Lucretia. The grill, chairs, lamps and stone were suddenly lifted off the ground as Riven struggled
"He's telekinetic too, my loyal ghoul."grinned Alice. "Farewell now. Have fun destroying each other."said Lucretia as she flew away. Lizzie concentrated at the medallion. She was telekinetic too, wasn't she? So she raised her arms and hoped that the medallion will fly to her arms when nothing happened. Instead Emma who was in front of her stood still, as if frozen in time.
"That's Odessa's ability."noted Henry as Lucretia was gone from their sights. In the midst of the commotion, a werewolf suddenly jumeped out of the bushes and attacked Laura. Laura fell into the ground and was wounded by the creature. 'No! Stay away from mom!"said Lizzie as she tried to create a frieball when an energy ball was formed instead. She threw it at the werewolf. The werewolf took a direct hit and melted as Jane rushed to aid their mom. 'Lizzie! Hurry! I cant hold it anymore!"called Riven.
"What's going on?"demaned jane. As the items Riven's mind lifted flew towards them. 'Everybody stop!"screamed Lizzie as everything and everyone except for her the 3 siblings froze in time. The items that were about to hit them were also floating in mid air. Henry quickly recited the sleeping spell Lemuel used to knock Riven to sleep. As soon as Riven slept, the items he controlled, dropped down the ground. "I want an explanation!"said Jane as Henry dragged Riven and place him beside their mom.
"we need to go after Lucretia!I'll explain on our way."said Lizzie as Henry shook his head.
"We need to go home and get our things. Plus, we need a potion that could cure mom before she turns into a werewolf!"he ordered.
"But Lucretia has the medallion!"voiced out Lizzie.
'Trust me, all we need is half an hour to prepare ourselves. Mom needs us."insisted Henry.
Emma and Jane agreed so they teleported back to their home. **************************************************************
They were in their family basement.
Henry was checking on what they would need as Emma (a gypsy) brewed the potion that could cure their mom from becoming a werewolf (lycantrope). The unconscious Laura was settled in one couch while the sleeping Riven was in another. Jane was browsing on books on what they will need when Lizzie approached her. "Before the commotion Riven approached me and asked me to hold his hand. He wanted to tell me something that he wanted to say but couldn't."started Lizzie.
"So..?"asked Jane as her heart ached as Lizzie mentioned Riven's name.
Lizzie scratche her head. "Hold my hand now, and hoepfully you'll be able to see a vision.."said Lizzie reluctantly as Jane did so. As Jane held Lizzie's hand a vision flooded through her.
She saw Vittorio and a man in green who seemed to like Raphael.
Riven Landgraab is actually Raphael Crista.."said Lizzie's voice in jane's head.
"What?"she gasped.
"His mother is the older stepsister of Malcolm Langraab IV and his fahter is Orlando Crista-Vittorio's adopted son. Rapahel used to work for his grandfather,he even helped in creatin g the formula to turning others into ghouls but he felt Vittorio's plans were becoming crazier.The nigth before his wedding to ODessa, Raphael and Vittorio argued about Vittorio's plans. He thought that taking over the magical community was crazy. That was not what he intended his formula to be used for."explained Lizzie. "Vittorio was mad at his grandson's defiance, he decided to punish him." In the middle of the ball,Lucretia, Vittorio's beloved,called for Raphael in the music room. There she turned Raphael into a ghoul and tricked the two lovers. After that we all knew what happened to Odessa. IN the presence of Vittorio, Alexis, Lucretia and Raphael,Lemuel offered Odessa to his cowplant. Riven was helpless since he was under Lucretia's control as a ghoul. VIttorio wanted to make his point to Raphael, that he is to serve only his grandfather and that he can take everything away from him if he wanted to.
When Vittorio was sealed by our dad, the rest of Vittorio's men went into hiding. Raphael changed his name to Riven Landraab and started to live with his unlce, Malcol Landgraab IV. Jane pulled her hand away from the vision and went to the sofa as Lizzie followed her.
"So he's been working for Lucretia all along?Just like Alice, all those years, was part of Lucretia's plan to lure us to hand them the medallion?"she asked in despair.
"But Jane..there's a difference between Alice and him, he fell in love with you.."said Lizzie.
"If he did, hy didn't he warned us sooner? Why did he pretend he didn't know?"she demanded.
"He's under Lucretia's control, he couldn't tell us, instead he let me see it for myself through my visions."replied Lizzie."He truly loves you Jane, that's why he was able to fight a little of Lucretia's control a while ago..He told me, he lost Odessa before, he didn't want to lose you as well."continued Lizzie. Jane shook her head as Emma called for their attention.
"The potion should work now. She's gonna be okay. She won't be a lycantrope."assured Emma as Jane sighed in relief.
"BUt what about Riven? He's still a ghoul..is there a cure for being a ghoul?"asked Lizzie.
"NOt that I know of.."whispered Emma as Laura woke up.
'The vampires discovered a cure a couple of years ago."rasped Laura as she struggled to sit in the couch. "How did you know?No one in the magical community ever had any contact with the vampires ever since what happened 10 years ago."asked Emma.
"Only Henry knows this, but I was a vampire before I met Richard Croft. When we fell in love, I chose to be a mortal. The count is my dad, we still contact each other now and then. I'm sure he'll be able to spare me a cure. It's easy to find him in downtown."explained Laura as Lizzie raised a brow. "MOm was a vampire?!"she gasped as Henry shook his head.
"Okay enough, we're wasting time! Emma I want you to brew as many useful potions you can. Mom, I trust you with the cure for Riven."he started. "The 3 of us are going to Lucretia's lair and get the medallion back. I'm giving you 10 minutes to prepare what you need."he said to his siblings.
"Just 10 minutes?BUt my powers..they're going haywire right now."said Lizzie.
"You're up to somethign arent you?"asked Jane. "Just do as I say. After this Lizzie will teleport us to Lucretia's lair. "said Henry.
"But I-"whispered Lizzie nervously.
"YOu were able to find us and teleport yourself to the manor, I'm sure you can do the same, I have faith in you."said Henry.
Lizzie noded her head as yes.
"Fine. 10 minutes.."said Jane.
Lizzie breathed in. After 10 minutes, she and her siblings would have to face what they refused to face 10 years ago.

    I like how you are able to clue the reader in effortlessly on what is taking place in this storyline and how the past, present, and future seem to be culminating into a climatic confrontation and an ending that has apparently been building for 10 years! Great suspense! I can't wait for the next chapter!
