Chapter 35 {Be Careful}

"Mommy you slept for three whole days Uncle Victor is still here," Chloe said as she held out lemon tea for her mother Raven looked at her mother and touched her forehead. Isabella chuckled these three she wondered if her missing son Sterling acts like them.

Isabella took the lemon tea from Chloe with a grateful smile.

"Thank you, sweetheart," she said before taking a sip of the hot drink.

She then looked at Raven who was touching her forehead.

"And what are you doing?" she asked her daughter curiously.

Raven looked up at her mother with an innocent expression on her face.

"I'm checking if you're still sick," she said matter-of-factly.

Isabella chuckled and gently ruffled Raven's hair.

"What do you think of your uncle?"

Chloe and Raven looked at each other, their expressions thoughtful.

"He's cool," Chloe said finally.

"He's like a superhero or something."

Raven nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, he can do all sorts of neat tricks."

"Mmm good the people in my family don't be nice to them," Isabella said to her kids. She didn't want them to be harmed in any other way.

The kids looked at their mother with wide eyes.

"Why don't they like them?" Atticus asked curiously.

Chloe and Raven also had confused expressions on their faces.

Isabella sighed softly before answering.

"It's complicated," she said gently, not wanting to scare or worry her children too much about the complexities of family relationships.

The kids looked at their mother for a moment longer before nodding silently. They could tell that there was something more to the story, but they also trusted their mother and knew that she was doing everything in her power to protect them.

"Sis," Victor said a smirk on his lips.

"Brother thanks for taking care of my kids."

Victor smiled at his sister, a hint of mischief in his eyes.

"Of course," he said.

"I always enjoy spending time with these little troublemakers."

He looked over at the kids who were watching them with wide eyes.

"Uncle shhh!" the three of them snapped and grabbed Victor arm and Isabella chuckled.

Victor chuckled as the kids shushed him and grabbed his arm.

"Shhh, what?" he said, feigning innocence.

Isabella smiled at the sight of her children being protective over their uncle.

Victor couldn't help but find the whole situation amusing. He looked down at the kids who were still holding onto his arm, their faces serious.

"What's wrong?" he asked them in a low voice.

Chloe and Raven both shook their heads vigorously, while Atticus gave him a stern look.

"Alright don't worry it's our secret," Victor told the kids and walked back to the fancy kitchen and cooked he learned how to cook from his sister Isabella.

The kids nodded in agreement, still holding onto Victor's arm as they followed him into the kitchen.

Victor began cooking, his movements confident and practiced as he moved around the kitchen with ease. It was clear that he had learned a thing or two from his sister.

Isabella who took a long shower there was a light ancient dragon phoenix rune on her white milky slender back it was golden color but it disappeared the next moment.

Isabella stepped out of the shower, her skin still damp and glistening from the water. She looked down at her back in the mirror and noticed a faint golden rune that resembled a dragon phoenix disappearing from her milky white skin.

She raised an eyebrow curiously, wondering what it could mean.

Isabella ran a hand over the spot where the rune had been but it was gone now.

"What on earth..." she muttered to herself.

She shrugged off the strange occurrence and began drying herself off.

After she dried herself off Isabella got dressed and walked into the kitchen where she found Victor cooking breakfast.

Victor was standing at the stove, flipping pancakes with practiced ease. The smell of freshly cooked food filled the kitchen, making Isabella's stomach rumble.

"Morning," she said, walking up behind him and peering over his shoulder.

"Sis! See I have become a great cook!" Victor bragged to his sister who sat down she sipped her hot lemon tea her daughter made her.

"Oh and what's that burning toast?" Isabella said with a light laughter it was a beautiful laughter it would make want to hear laugh more.

Victor feigned offense at his sister's comment about the burning toast.

"Hey! I'll have you know that this is perfectly cooked toast," he protested, holding up a piece of the burnt toast in question.

Isabella chuckled and shook her head.

"Sure it is," she said, taking another sip of her lemon tea.

"Mommy where are you going?" Chloe asked and Isabella smiled gently.

"Seeing a friend."

The three eyes widen after all there mother rare has friends she is always closed off.

Isabella looked down at her three children who were staring up at her with wide eyes. She knew that they weren't used to seeing her go out and socialize.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon," she reassured them.

"You guys stay here with Uncle Victor."

Victor nodded from his place by the stove.

Isabella looked at her reflection in the mirror, satisfied with her outfit choice. She took one last look around to make sure she had everything she needed before heading out. When she stepped outside she grabbed a metal stick and she pullled it apart this was her Lexeni phone. She bumped into a small little figure she court the small boy who was in the VIP floor he wore a mask as he eyes widen and tried to look away you saw dragon horns on his forehead.

Isabella was on the VIP floor when she bumped into a small boy wearing a mask who had dragon horns on his forehead.

She looked down at him in surprise and he tried to look away quickly, as if trying to hide something.

"Are you alright?" she asked gently, crouching down so that they were eye level with each other.

The small boy didn't respond, his eyes darting around nervously. He clutched something tightly in his hand and tried to back away from Isabella.

Isabella could sense that there was something off about him. She gently reached out and touched his shoulder.

Isabella movement were so fast the space around was just them the boy felt so much warmth he only felt this when he was with his dad the woman touched the boy head gentle a light energy washed over the boy and the dragon horns were gone, the boy didn't feel anymore pain at all.

"It's okay a small child should be playing," Isabella said as she pulled away and the boy looked alone they were no longer in that universe space was endless who is this beautiful fairy with a mask.

"Alright bye be careful don't show your horns around," Isabella said and she walked off. The boy turn around but the woman was already gone.

The boy stood there in shock for a moment, his mind trying to process what had just happened. One moment he was feeling immense pain and fear, and the next a beautiful woman had appeared out of nowhere and made it all go away.

He touched his forehead where the horns had been moments before, but now they were gone. He looked around for any sign of the woman who had helped him but she was already gone.

The boy was left with a feeling of confusion and wonder. Who was that woman? How had she made the pain go away so easily? And why had she told him to be careful about showing his horns around?

The boy slightly she was so beautiful but what's odd he felt so much warmth like she was familiar he only feels that way toward his dad. Wait she came from this room 6708. But also how did she stop everything from moving? It was just like how dad stopped time one time and destroyed an enemy.

The boy's mind was racing as he tried to make sense of what had just happened. He knew that only his dad could stop time, but this woman had done it too.

He looked around the VIP floor, searching for any sign of her. But she was nowhere to be found. The other people in the area were going about their business, seemingly unaware of what had just occurred.
