The next time Araxie opened her eyes, she was laying down on the dry sand and only to see her husband tied up on a metallic chair, in his human form.
"Trion dear! Our son, where's my baby."she spoke as she wandered her eyes around the place and then saw his tank in the opposite corner.
"Scott baby!"she walked some steps and held the tank in her hands.
"I will save you no matter the cost!"she breathed heavily as she walked back to her husband.
"I'm here. I will do whatever it takes to get you release."she whispered in his ears but Trion found it strange when he saw tears running down Araxie's face.
"How did you come here."he asked.
"That doesn't matter right now, all that matters is that I'm here to save you two."she was still talking when they heard that irritating voice.
"Yes Trion, your wife is telling the truth. She's come to get you released and I'll surely let you go if she agrees to my one condition.
Hmmm! But do you know what my condition is.... Do you?
Oh! Don't give me that look Sir.
So... does this mean that she hasn't told you why she's here!"
"What's his condition, Araxie? Would you please tell me."Trion asked and Araxie kept staring at him instead.
How would she tell him that she was going to marry someone else. Seeing him break into pieces was something she wasn't ready for, that's why she didn't say anything.
"It seems your darling wife doesn't want to release her true colors before you. She doesn't want you to know what she's planning on doing behind your back but I'm not that bad and that's why I'll tell you, after all she's going to be my wife very soon.
Hey..hey...! I don't like it when someone looks at me like that. You should look at your wife instead! I'm not forcing her to take this step though, she's doing it willing, aren't you?"
Why was he complicating things?
"W-what! I don't believe you...My Araxie would never think of marrying someone else not even in afterlife."Trion said while tears rolled down his face.
Hearing Trion praise his soon bride to be left Mr invisible fueling with anger inside till it got out of control and the slapped him straight on face before he quickly transformed into human form.
Wow! He had a Mohican cut and scythe-shaped eyebrows with a devil's fork beard and a dark, gritty moustache. His Roman nose and half-dome cheekbones sat above an oaken jaw. His wrestler's shoulders were part of his burly physique. He walked with a tiger like tread as he smiled that irritating and awkward smile while staring at Trion.
His mariner -blue eyes were orb round and darted constantly, a-gleam with delight!
They looked soft and anybody else could notice that they swam with joy as they shone brightly like two sapphires dipped in milky pools..
And when he spoke, oh my gosh! His bass voice was a big part of his ambitious character.
Araxie felt like shouting at him for slapping her husband but then, she realized she had no way she could do so.
"I shouldn't make any mistake."she reminded herself and then shut her slightly opened mouth
"I'm waiting for your answer ma'am Araxie Rodrigo Jackson.
Oh sorry... I didn't mean to remind you of your past relationship with the Jacksons because after we're married, you'll take my name, you'll then be ' Mrs. Araxie Rodrigo Jann Al-Smith' and that would be your new identity for the rest of your life.
Oh I almost forgot to tell you my name! Well, my name is Jann Al-smith, the most powerful, spiteful and dangerous vampire that ever existed because I wasn't born like you, I was created instead!"Was he bragging? Was that something to brag about anyway? Trion hoped that his words weren't scaring Araxie that she'd end up giving in to his condition.
"So....shall I kill them or ...?"
"No. Don't kill them please."she hurried to say.
"Araxie please don't agree to his condition. Don't say yes for my sake and our babies'."Trion yelled but it was too late and Araxie had already made up her mind. Looking at how her son was crying in that tank, tortured her enough to decide.
"I will marry you Mr Jann Al-smith! So, let my people go."Araxie eventually uttered between clenched teeth.
What a difficult decision it was for her to take!
"H-how could you say that Araxie. I don't know about this man but my instincts are telling me that he's a monster. I won't let you do this. I'd rather die while saving you than let you marry this monster!"Trion seemed cold.
"You're so lucky that you had her as your wife and she's the only reason I'm letting you go otherwise you would have been dead by now."Jann whispered to Trion's ears while he sent him to sleep just by blowing a warm breathe in his ears.
And the next time he opened his eyes, Trion found himself on the shore with his whole family who were asking him non-stop questions but unfortunately he didn't know what to tell them.- He had forgot everything. That vampire erased his memory to the extent that he knew nothing about who his wife was in the first place.
How would he save her from getting remarried!- Everyone was left shocked when he asked them if he had a wife but his mind...it still reminded him that the two babies were his.
"What on Earth is happening. First,the sharks kidnapped the baby, Araxie got stuck somewhere after her powers were summoned away, then Trion delayed to show up and now he's back without any previous memories and again, Araxie is missing! Oh I didn't mention Araxie's bead!
I was under the impression that it's with my grandson but no!
Scott isn't with it so who has it then?"Tia spoke with a confused face.
It was indeed strange because even those who weren't related to them by blood like Andie and Neel...their powers had gone inactive too.
"I'm sure someone powerful is beyond all this."
Back in the Sea, under a big seamount which was this vampire's home, Araxie sat on the bed all dressed up as a bride with her hands tied up to the bedstand while Jann took a shower just close by in the waters. He wasn't scared of anything because he knew Trion wouldn't say anything to those people on land and nor could Araxie escape from there because he had exhausted her mind and body.
Yes, he was the mastermind behind everything, first he manipulated and sent the sharks to kidnap Araxie's baby, they manipulated the baby to summon the bead, and with the same bead, he summoned everyone's powers so that no one would find about him till he's married Araxie but little did he know that his overconfidence would cost him a lot because as he was busy swimming around, Araxie was trying her best to get her hands on her bead that he had left very close on the small table.
She still remembered the new things her mother in-law taught her about that bead.
Tia once told her that in case she's in trouble and lays her hands on the bead, Tia and Trion would know it right away because they had stayed with that same bead for so long.
"Help me good Lord."she breathed as she tried reaching for it but unlucky for her, the small table fell down making a loud naked sound.
"I'm done for!"she knew that Jann would finish her but he didn't come. Perhaps he didn't hear any sound.
