BLOOD AND WATER

"Hello sweetie, we meet again."The older Frankie said.

Lilith walked forward but the younger Frankie was a little skeptical till she grabbed him by the collar then kissed him passionately, then he was hooked.

The older one said,"Now it's time to get my girlfriend back..."

I started breathing heavily then Micky, who had woken up with me asked,"What's wrong?"

I looked at him then said,"Your cousin is in danger..."

There was an explosion at the side of the room but I made a sphere of ice X to protect the three of us.

The ground started forming blocks which started banging the ice wall and exploding violently.

The foundations of the building were shaken as the ground beneath us gave way and we fell through.

Micky screamed in fear but I slowed down our descent then told Alexa, my mom, Indigo and Curtis to protect everyone, I was going to handle the cause of the problem I had sensed more than a mile away... Franklin.

A sharp, flaming sword made of pure quartz appeared in Franklin's hand and he used it to block my sword swipe.

We stayed in that position for a second then I kicked him in the belly while he was distracted and he flew through five trees.

The trees immediately grew back and used their roots to bind him to the ground.

Electricity was zapping all around and slowly burning through the regenerating roots then I sighed and snapped my fingers, then the electricity shocked himself till he fell unconscious...

' Why would Frankie control his own father's mind? ' I wondered.

I heard a whisper in my ear which said,"As a diversion."

At that moment, a drill like wind burst through my liver and broke several of my ribs then I yelled in pain and fell to my knees.

A small whirlwind formed in front of me then the debris it was gathering made a hand with its middle finger up to me, then vanished.

I had to heal myself, fast.

Alexa butterfly kicked the Crystal Hyena in the chin, then swiped her leg to dislocate its leg.

It shrieked then she side flipped as another threw its sharp fingers down and ended up piercing right through the face of the other.

A strong wind blew the whole stampede of monsters into the air then another sliced right through each of them.

Indigo looked back but it was too late, my mom had already torn through the chest of the Black Willow.

She tore two of its legs then used them as swords to slice through every monster that even had the audacity to breathe too close to her husband or any of her children or grandchildren, basically, she was doing all the work.

Curtis was slicing through the heard of flying foxes which were the largest species of normal bats, with a two dimensional blade.

He then vanished then all of them started screeching as they were phasing through different dimensions, painfully.

The older Lilith was taking care of the children.

She turned into a dragon then blew invisible x ray flames which burned the monsters several kilometers from the edge of the flames.

She turned back to a human then landed on the ground and huge balls of fire in the sky landed and obliterated the army of monsters heading for her.

The three children hugged her and said they were scared, but she hugged them back and said,"Don't worry, I'll protect you."

"And who will protect you?"

She looked back to see Frankie.

Just then, someone said,"We will."

He also looked back to see Apollo and Maame, and they looked angry.

He chuckled then said,"Apollo? I enjoyed your death the mo..."

There was a squishing sound as his brains were burst through his ears.

He fell to his knees as his body was twisted to much, his spine snapped.

Maame retracted her arm then said,"No one talks like that to my boyfriend."

Apollo smiled as Lilith was surprised.

Maame then said,"I know, you think it's too easy but that really was him, I made sure."

The children were scared till she wiped their memories then said,"Now let's go get the younger you."

The wound finally sealed when Franklin helped me heal, he was so sorry for how Frankie had acted and regretted how he had raised him and wanted to do better as a father.

I told him he could, but now was the time and we first had to find him.

Frankie was making out with Lilith and loving every moment of it till someone tapped his back then punched him across the face and said,"Leave my girlfriend alone."

Lilith was still clueless to what was happening till Anneliese freed her of her mind control then she realized what she had done and apologized, but Jessie didn't blame her in the least.

We were able to repair the damage done and clear the monster carcasses, it was true that monsters were rare, but the ones which did attack were in relatively strong populations and those that weren't, we made sure not to kill...much.

Eyes fluttered open then Nicky looked around to see she was in some large compound several different types of weapons neatly arranged all the place.

The compound looked like a traditional Chinese one with symbols of dragons and lions lining the cherry tree, torch ginger, bonsai and red column designed space.

She stood to her feet but felt restrained then looked around, nothing was wrong, other than the fact that she was dressed like a Ninja.

She tried to look into the past but it wasn't working, neither was the future, what was wrong?

She then heard a woman yell,"Oh you are far more beautiful than I thought!"

She turned then was immediately squeezed by a beautiful woman with long, silky black hair.

Nicky pulled back then yelled,"Who are you and what did you do with my parents?!"

The woman's expression turned dead serious as she said,"Your mother is in Ghana and your father is dead."

She screamed,"You're lying!"

"Oh you don't believe me?"She asked,"Let me show you."

She tried to touch Nicky but she slipped below her and tried to run away but the woman somehow appeared in front of her and said,"Not so fast, pretty girl."

She then forcefully touched her forehead then she saw a beautiful woman with skin, just like Nicky's, dark and smooth, but unlike Nicky's silver, the woman had brown eyes, the woman was being held in the back by a tall, handsome and muscular man when she almost fell down the stairs, being heavily pregnant.

The man on the other hand looked nothing like her, with beautiful turquoise eyes and dirty blonde hair.

The vision ended then the woman said,"Those are your real parents."

"You're lying!"Nicky yelled again.

She tried to attack the woman but a kind of circle appeared with the way through looking nothing like what was behind it.

Nicky's fist flew through it then appeared right by her own face then she fell to her knees and screamed in pain as the circle slowly cut through her arm.

The woman then said,"Now you are going to behave otherwise, undesirable things will happen."

Just then, the circle opened again and she was punched through, then looked at the thin ring around her lower arm, from which blood was flowing.

The woman, unconcerned, then said,"Your training begins immediately."

Then waked away.
