Unknown Prey 254 254 This Can Not Be!

Stella looked up from the couch and Tiana was sitting next to her. "I think that your theory might work. I also agree that it would be worth a shot. If you want I can hold Charlette while you all eat. She is absolutely adorable." 

Tiana got off the couch and walked to Leo and tried jumping to get a look at Charlette. Kitty giggled and picked Tiana up so that she could see Charlette. "Thank you, Mommy. Tiana wanted to see little sister. She is so cute like Scary Auntie says. Tiana will do her best to be the best big sister that she can be." She stayed still in Kitty's arms while she looked down at Charlette. 

Leo looked over at Kitty and then at Stella. "Are you sure that you want to hold the baby. It won't be too hard on you?" 

"If you are worried about what I went through, I think holding your daughter will make the ache I feel a little less. I can and will help Cindy out with the children. I think that two at once will be hard if she was to try alone and it is not like I have anything else that I have to do." She looks at Charlette and her eyes sparkle. 

Cindy watched Stella and wondered what could've happened to make her sad about holding a baby. She walked up beside Stella and smiled. 

"I think that is a good idea. It will help you get over the loss of your sister's baby. I will ask you to help Ketan with the protection of this place still but I will ask you to help Cindy with the children. Luke will also be at your disposal. I think that having this little one around will make the want and need to protect even stronger." Kitty stopped and looked at the doorway. 'I do not like what I just felt.' 

Ketan who was listening to the conversation felt the same thing that Kitty did and was shocked. He walked into the room and could tell from her expression that she felt what he felt. ~What was that?~

~I do not know.~ Kitty shook her head and disappeared from everyone's sight. She jumped back and looked around where she was. 'I didn't travel here…'

"My daughter." A very familiar male voice chimed from behind her. "You must be confused about why you traveled here without any notice. I set this up in advance so that if something had happened to your mother and myself we could keep all this information safe."

Kitty turned and saw Charles as a see-through figure standing there. "Father? You look like you did so many years ago. Is this a recording or something else? Also, I felt something strange just now."

The see-through Charles walks around his daughter. "I am glad that you have lived to see so much of the world. I am not a recording but I am dead. I am speaking to you through a means that is not easy. I set up this spell to go off when a series of things happened in the world of the living and before you ask I can not tell you anything about where I am now but your mother is with me though. She wishes she could see you too but this spell can not be set up for you to see her and me. It only works for a witch or warlock." 

"I see that is depressing. If Mother is with you please let her know that I miss both of you dearly. Ketan and Sylvie have been keeping me safe all these years. I meet my fated one and we had a baby girl but I guess we do not have time for idle chit chat. Father, why is it that you have set this up?" Kitty looked at her surroundings but the room was mostly dark except where Charles stood.

"Yes, Baby Girl this is a limited time spell. The room you are in now is a secret room for our clan. I know that I gave you some books but I need you to move everything that you can from this room as fast as possible. The clan house has been broken into and it does not look like to poachers are going to stop until they find this room. My magic is moving things around but I do not know if I can keep them away for long." Charles looked at the wall. 

Those that were in the living room back the house broke into a panic. Leo watched as Kitty was there and then poof she was gone. "She did not travel on her own. There is no way that she would leave like that."

"This is not possible." Ketan froze and looked at the traces of magic in the air.

Sylvie looked at it as well and froze, "shit...something must have happened at that manor."

"It would seem so. I found her and the traces of magic is even stronger there. I didn't think that spell would be this strong. I will go there and help the situation. Sylvie, can you fill the panicked ones that are here on what has happened?" He waits for her to nod before going to where Kitty and the magic source was. 

Leo still looked panicked and then looked at his daughter in his arms and tried to calm down. "Tell me first is she safe?" 

"Charles would not do anything to harm his own daughter. It is his magic that is lingering in the air." Sylvie said this as a matter of fact. 

"Charles? Do you mean Kitty's father? He and Linda died so long ago. There is no way for him to be alive so what do you mean by what you just said?" Cindy looked at Sylvie sharply.
