BRAZIL...The crew landed in beautiful Brazil several hours after they had boarded their flight from Boston. The trip was a long one but it was worth it because they were finally here.At the airport, there was a car already there to take them to the hotel where they would be staying while they were here. The drive to the hotel was calm and wonderful as the kids saw sights they’d never seen before as this was the only time they’d ever left Boston.It was truly a wonderful spectacle and when Philip saw the look on their faces, he could only imagine how they’d feel when they made it to Randos.“We’re going to be staying at a hotel that’s not too far from a marina. The marina flows straight into the Amazon River so we’ll get a boat there and begin our search a day after we’ve settled in,” Philip said as he drove.“And you’re sure there’s a passage that leads from here to Troleyadia?” Lydia asked.“Yes, I’m sure. The only problem is finding it but I’m certain we can do that too,”“This
As Joe was being choked by the vines, he struggled to get free of them but he wasn’t strong enough to do so. He could feel the life being choked out of him and desperately tried to do something, anything to get free but he couldn’t. He tried to use his powers but the vines were wrapped around his palm and were somehow negating his magic.Kurt was deep in sleep and had no idea that his best friend was being killed right beside him and Josh couldn’t do anything to wake him up.He slowly began to lose consciousness and just as he was about to close his eyes and slip away, he spotted some of the vines underneath the door to Lydia’s room and he realized that she was also being killed.“Lydia,” He spoke her name in his head, desperate to save her because he could not afford to lose the only member of his family that he had just found.They may have just met each other but their bond was already very strong and their connection was extremely powerful; they just didn’t know it yet.“Joe,” A v
“Oh crap! What are we going to do now?” Lydia asked Joe as they stood back to back with the three Ginxes around them. “We’re going to have to fight. We don’t have any other choice,” Joe replied.Without uttering another word, the Ginxes attacked simultaneously and as they launched themselves at Joe and Lydia, the kids grabbed onto each other’s hand and closed their eyes while screaming in anticipation of the clash. The Ginxes all brought down their swords against them but what seemed like a field of energy formed around them and grew big quickly and it blasted the Ginxes away from the kids.They were down but they weren’t out and the twins decided to use this chance to run back to safety because they weren’t ready to fight them. “Let’s get out of here,” Joe said to Lydia and he grabbed her hand.They both began to run back in the same direction they had come from and while they ran, they could hear the rustle of leaves behind them. “They’re right behind us,” Lydia shouted when she
The night’s wind was softly blowing the curtains around and the gleam of the moon crept into the birthing room. A bowl of red water with a towel in it sat on the small table made of Elivian wood and the fabric of the bed sheets were made of wolf’s fur that was now becoming stained with the blood of the queen in labour.“Breathe, Neyra! Breathe! The baby’s almost out. I just need one more push from you,” The midwife, Kathia urged.“It hurts, Kathia. I think there’s something wrong.” Neyra said in tears as she tried to push.“There’s nothing wrong, my dear. You just need to push. Gemma, get behind her and massage her shoulders to ease her pain.” Kathia said to the handmaiden that was assisting her to birth the queen’s baby.Gemma went behind the queen and rubbed her back just as she was instructed.“Just try to breathe, my lady.” She said.Neyra screamed in total agony as she struggled to push out her child. It was more pain than she had been expecting but
Saint Theresa Orphanage, Boston MA...“Ever since we found out from the doctor that we wouldn’t be able to have our own children, it broke our hearts but now, we’re trying to move on and have decided that this is the way.” The woman said to the sister in her office.“I completely understand and I assure you that he’s a wonderful little boy and I’m sure you’ll instantly fall in love with him when you meet him, Mr and Mrs Johnson.” The sister said to the couple.“What’s his name again?” Mrs Johnson asked.“His name is Joseph, although he prefers to be called Joe,” The sister said.“Well, then. Let’s meet him.” Mr Johnson said excitedly.“Now? O…ok, of course. Please follow me.” The sister said nervously.She got up and took the nice couple outside to meet their potential new son. As they walked along the cor
Sarah Francesca School For Girls, Boston MA...The door was opened by the chauffeur and Lydia stepped out of the long and luxurious vehicle and unto school premises for the first time in months. This was her happy place and she was glad to finally be back after the long school holiday. She had intended to make the most of the new school year and finally begin to leave her mark because she knew she had more to offer. She was more than just the only child of a wealthy and powerful woman; Miss Eunice Delibottom.“Why couldn’t Mother bring me today, Jeffrey?” Lydia asked the chauffeur, clearly disappointed by her mother’s absence.“You know how busy your mother is, little dove. She has a lot that she needs to take care of.” Jeffrey replied.“But she promised she would come and get me today and bring me to school. And you know how important today is, don’t you?” Lydia asked.“Of course, I know, little dove.” Jeffrey felt a bit sorry for her because
"Are you ready?""I was born ready," Kurt replied."Remember to grab only the essentials while I distract him," Joe said with a smile.They were about to rob a bakery because it was the only way they could get food. They had initially asked the owner of the store for a job but the mean old man rudely chased them away and now, they were back to teach him a lesson and get their "daily bread" at the same time.It was late at night and the bakery was closed but a security guard was patrolling the area during his night shift. He had stopped walking around and sat on his chair that was right beside the bakery.The boys had been waiting for him to leave but he didn't so they decided to distract him before stealing what they came for. Joe stared at the window that was closest to the ground and raised his hand in its direction. He closed his eyes and focused on the window for a few seconds and the birthmark on his palm began to glow, and
Joe couldn't take his eyes off the girl on the street. He felt like he knew her or something and there was this connection he felt towards her that he just couldn't explain."What do we do?" Joe asked his friend, unsure of how to proceed."We have to go talk to her," Kurt suggested."I don't know, man. This article says that she ran away from home and that her mom is offering a lot of money to whoever finds her. If we approach her all of a sudden, she might get scared and take off," Joe said."You're right. We don't want to scare her off so we need to be tactical about how we do this," Kurt added."Totally! But what if it's all just a coincidence and she has nothing to do with me? What then?" Joe asked, worried."I don't know, Joe. I don't know but for now, we need to have a little faith," Kurt said and touched his shoulder.The boys left the cafe and crossed over to the other side of the street. They hid behind a dumpster and watched the girl.She was cleaning the display glass windo
