Chapter 353 - Always There

nJohn complimented his daughter for her courage and for keeping the secret, and Felicity bited a biscuit,
"the vision felt so real.
" she said.
"It was like I was truly following the man.
"
nElijah took a biscuit as well,
"next time you should try to use your powers during a vision and see what happens.
"
n
"No way.
" John glowered at Elijah for having suggested such a thing,
"do not try to do that, Felicity. We can't know what can happen, it may make you get stuck in the vision forever. Don't move when you have visions and especially don't use your powers!
" he exclaimed pointing his finger to both her kids.
n
"Remember magic isn't something you can joke about, don't ever use it for fun because it will only cause problems.
" He continued, darting his gaze from Felicity to Elijah.
nWhen his kids nodded John smiled,
"good.
" he said,
"it's time to celebrate Felicity's first vision.
" he stood up and walked to the fridge, opened the door nonchalantly, and poured some wine in Elijah's and Felicity's glass.
nRoselyn widened her eyes, did he lose his mind, she immediately slouched forward, and as soon as her kids grabbed the glass to drink she stole them from their hands.
n
"Don't drink!
" She shouted, glowering at John shocked,
"are you crazy?
" she whispered.
nJohn chuckled,
"some wine won't hurt.
" he said, biting his inner cheek to hold back the laughs seeing Roselyn's face so red that she seemed she was going to slap him.
n
"Get some juice please.
" She said, gritting her teeth, John lifted his hands in surrender and opened the door once again to get some juice this time.
nHe poured it in two new glasses and then placed them on the table in front of the kids.
nThey clinked glasses and tossed on their happy powerful family, then they spent the rest of the day playing all three of them together.
nSebastian came back from the classes in the evening and as soon he got back they had dinner together and talked about their day.
nThey went to sleep pretty early because had been tough for each one of them, but although both Roselyn and John were very tired they couldn't sleep.
nRoselyn turned to the side and scoffed,
"I can't stop thinking about the vision,
" she complained.
n
"I was thinking about it too, what if the man isn't your day? What if the man is William?
" John asked.
nRoselyn remained in silence for some instants, considering what John suggested, it was quite plausible but not fully convincing.
nRoselyn shook her head as if he could see her in the dark,
"I am not sure, humans cannot be so powerful to link with banshees, can they?
"
n
"You're right, but then who can it be? Who wants to help us and is strong enough to link with a banshee?
" John said, he laid on his stomach with the elbows on the pillow as his face assumed a thoughtful look.
nThe silence lasted for a few seconds until the suddenly couple took a deep breath in sync and then breathed out,
"Ethan!
" they saw the light, and all made sense now.
nElijah was strong enough to link with a banshee, he already linked with Roselyn a few times and he knew how supernatural creatures thought since he was just like them.
nJohn's lips grow in a smile when he recalled of his brothers, all the memories occurred to his mind, and deeply wished William and Ethan met wherever they were.
nAfter some instants, when John focused back on trying to decipher the meaning of the sentence, John still wasn't unable to figure out what Ethan wanted to tell them.
n
"What did you want to tell me, brother?
" John whispered, as he closed his eyes and mentally reorganized his ideas, he thought about the conversation he had with his brothers, recalling if he had never used that sentence but the more he dug in those memories the more he felt lost and unable to figure out.
n
"Maybe what he meant was that we don't have to fight all the creatures in Kratez as we did with the snakes, we can defeat the leaders of the rebellion,
" Roselyn said her reasoning aloud, John's eyes widened as if he had the inspiration.
n
"Just like with the protector, he defeated her and Sharon and the snakes collapsed like dominos!
" John exclaimed.
n
"He is suggesting us to do the same! To find out who are the creatures who are convincing everyone I had changed and when we defeat them maybe the situation will improve and the rest of the creatures will calm down.
" John smiled with his whole face, he kissed Roselyn's cheek joyfully,
"you're a genius!
" he said.
nRoselyn giggled, she took a breath relieved, if she was right then Felicity's vision was very positive, it meant that Ethan watched over them as a guardian angel.
nWhen they finally came to a conclusion Roselyn finally fell asleep, with a light mind free from preoccupations and wonders.
nJohn also fell asleep as soon as he felt Roselyn closed her eyes he did the same.
nThe next morning the couple woke up and went to have breakfast, Felicity overslept a bit more sense as the school's teacher suggested she was taking a rest day. John and Elijah practiced right after breakfast like usual and Sebastian helped the maids to clear the table.
nWhen Sebastian remained alone with Roselyn he told her that he had a dream of William and after that, he barely slept, he missed him very much and he wished he would have said goodbye.
nRoselyn hugged Sebastian, she took his hand and walked to the jewelry room, she made him see all the bracelets William had, and then she told him that he could pick a bracelet as a memory of his father so that he knew he would always be there with him.
nSebastian was so happy at the idea and he took a few minutes to decide what bracelet he wanted, each one was so magnificent and raffinate, the gold shined so much that he even hesitated if that gift wasn't too much for an orphan like him.
nThen he pointed at a gold chain bracelet,
"this one.
" he said, his eyes sparkled and filled with tears of commotion. That bracelet was the one William wore when he went to the orphanage and adopted him, as soon as his gaze fell on it the kid knew he wanted that one.
nRoselyn smiled,
"it's very beautiful,
" she removed the bracelet from its slipcase and then carefully wrapped it around Elijah's arm.
nElijah was amazed, his heart raced and filled with joy, that bracelet reminded his father so much that it was like somehow William wanted him to have it.
nWhen John and Elijah finished practice Sebastian ran to his friend and showed him the bracelet Roselyn gave him.
nThey headed to their room talking about the bracelet and wondering how much it was worth it, then the matter of the conversation soon switched to talk about their precious objects Elijah's family had to switch once again to a completely different topic: Sebastian's family and Elijah's investigation to find his parents' names.
nElijah kept him posted once in a while but since William's death, they barely talked about the matter even if Elijah didn't stop searching for them.
nhe was even more motivated to find them because he knew how much Sebastian needed the love of a family.
nElijah had found four people with the names he found on the dossiers. All four of them lived in cities nearby the village but he hadn't gone to find them yet because his speediness didn't allow him to be enough fast to speed there in a few minutes and still have enough energy to look for them and then get back to the village.
nHowever, when Felicity woke up Elijah called her into their room, to ask her help. Since she had her first vision she could help them to figure out how Sebastian's parents looked like or at least some facial features of them to narrow down their research.
nSebastian didn't agree to Elijah's idea, he didn't want to overwork Felicity and especially not the day she was supposed to rest.
nBut Elijah insisted so much that Sebastian gave up,
"are you sure?
" He asked one last time to Felicity who nodded.
n
"I am.
" She stretched her hands and closed her eyes, during Roselyn's lessons she had learned how to link with her so maybe if she linked with Sebastian she would induce her body to have a vision.
nSebastian swallowed down, he looked at the two brothers hesitant as if he didn't know what to decide.
nhe was glad they wanted to help him and he was curious to know about his parents, yet at the same time, he was scared to death to put Felicity at risk.
n
"Trust me,
" Felicity said, nodding.
nHe took a long breath,
"fine then.
" He murmured, leaning his hands forward.
nFelicity took his hands and held them, narrowing her eyes to focus.
