X. Not So Family

This is Chapter 10 of my book, hope you enjoy it. .

I woke to hearing Nikai screaming. I leaped out of bed so fast that I was at my bedroom door before I even opened my eyes. I ran out to the living room to see Nikai and our mother hugging and crying. I sighed and sat on the loveseat. Man that scared the crap out of me! “I can’t believe your alive! I have so many questions! I am so happy!” I smiled and watched mom tell Nikai everything she had said to me last night. “So this means Belle has Ricanti powers too?” I asked. My mother responded,” Belle? Who is Belle?” With everything going on I didn’t realize that my mother didn’t know she was a grandmother yet. “Oh mom! I completely didn’t forgot you didn’t know. You’re a grandmother!” “My mothers face lit up like the fourth of July. “Well? Where is she? How old is she? Let me see her!” She was so excited that I hated telling her that she was at Aunt Liz’s. “Well, with everything that is going on I didn’t want to put her in harms way so I left her with Aunt Liz for a few days” I said with a sorrowful tone. “Aunt Liz?” my mother looked confused. “Yeah your sister?” I said kind of concerned at this point. “Honey, I don’t have any sisters.” She sat there like she was in deep thought for a moment and then sudden terror took over her entire body. “What?!?” I kind of shouted not even realizing it. “Oh no! Lizenite! Not Lizendite!” My mother screamed. “Who the HELL is Lizendite?!” I asked angrily and concerned. “She is Kane’s sister. So technically she is Aunt Liz, but honey she is not from my side of the family. She is almost worse than Kane when it comes down to evilness.” She said with deep concern. “OH MY GOD! I left Belle with her!!! I have to get her NOW!” I grabbed the keys to James’s car and my mom jumped in too. 

I sped over to this Aunt Liz of mine. I didn’t even pull in the drive way I just slammed it in park right out front. I ran up to the house and pounded on the door. It was shut this time and the smell of sweets was gone. I kicked open the door and walked in. There were cobwebs and dust everywhere like no one had lived here in years. I felt my heart sink. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I just wanted to throw up. I screamed out for Annabelle and ran through the house looking in every possible spot she could be. I came back out to the front room and just fell to my knees. I just let it all out. From the moment of the break in yesterday morning I have tried to stay calm and collective. Now that it has gotten to this point I just couldn’t hold it in anymore. I screamed as loud as I could and cried so hard. My mother came and wrapped her arms around me. “We will find them Eden, I promise you this.” She said to me as she pulled the hair from my face and wiped my tears. She looked me in the eyes and I could tell she was determined to do anything she could to make this right. We drove back to Agnes’s and told them that they were gone. Agnes stood up and said “Now is the time to start training then.” She told us to follow her and she led the way to the back yard. I told them I would be there in a second and I sat on the couch. As they walked through the house and out the back door I sat for a moment and collected my thoughts. My daughter was gone. My evil crazy Aunt and Father have her. My life feels like one huge nightmare right now and I can’t wake up. A part of me wished that I would wake up in my bedroom and this would all just go away. Yet another part of me wants to avenge the kidnapping of my daughter and the entrapment of my mother for over the last 10 years. I want to face my father and put an end to all of this. I am not backing down. Not now, Belle needs me and I am going to get her back. This a*****e just messed with the wrong Ricanti b***h! I pumped myself up and I went to join the others. “Let the training begin!” I said as I walked out to the backyard.
