Helanie:
A Few Hours Ago:
"That is so crazy, " I said as I watched Lucy’s face after she told me everything about the entities, the father, and Azura. She knew a lot because the entity had lived inside her.
Whatever she discussed with others, whatever she felt, Lucy had also felt it. It wasn’t just the entity reading her memories, Lucy had learned about its memories too. And those were her beloved twins.
Lucy explained that they were all half-siblings, that the father didn’t have them with one woman. He had a special woman he was supposed to have a certain number of children with, and now he wasn’t supposed to have any more.
Lucy never got to meet Azura’s mother and her mention wasn’t brought up by the entities either. The Father had been alive for many, many years, and this last set of four children were the ones meant to rule.
Now he was looking for one of his children to find a powerful man and create four babies who would take care of X-codex.
I could only think of one reason Azura was after Emmet so strongly. She wanted powerful babies with him so that together they could destroy the world. But she had no clue Emmet would never agree to it.
"Okay, so what are we going to do now?" I asked Norman, panicking as I rubbed my palms.
"We have to bring Emmet here in order to kill her," Maximus said, making me look at him with sad eyes. That would mean the last curse would break with Emmet being here in this world. That could be dangerous for him.
"But that will kill Emmet," Norman argued with Maximus.
My friends were clueless too. Thankfully, Jenny, Lamar, Sage, and Penn, along with my mother, were taking care of the babies. That’s why we were able to have this conversation.
We weren’t letting anyone near the babies anymore, not even the maids. How much could they do to protect them? They were just omegas. And I didn’t want them getting hurt in the process of saving my babies either. So we needed someone strong by our side, and for that, we really only had my friends.
"I say we push Azura inside," Kaye said, and everyone turned to look at him.
"Um, what?" I asked, studying his face.
"Remember what was told to you when Gavin went inside?" Norman said, snapping his fingers and reminding me of the time Gavin had gone in.
I watched their faces as I let Norman explain.
"Whatever happens in the dream world also happens here. For example, if someone gets hurt, the wounds show up here. If someone dies, they die in real time," Norman explained. But I didn’t know how much I could rely on that, because there was one big part they were forgetting.
"Well, since Emmet is in this land and most of the curses are gone, only his is left. So you better believe his curse is rising. He has forgotten everyone, and we don’t know how much time has passed there for him—years, months, weeks. If she goes in, she could manipulate him," I said, not at all convinced about sending her in.
