Trusty couldn’t hide the smile that broke through the stern face he’d been trying his hardest to maintain. “Ya got my word that I ain’t gonna get myself into any kinda trouble… On the front line, though. I’ll still help whenever somebody asks but I ain’t gonna be doin’ any of the actual fightin’.” He widened his eyes. “Don’t ya dare, she wouldn’t let me out of her sight if she found out I had anythin’ to do with fightin’ that thing.” He chuckled and opened the fridge, scanning the options. “We’ve got… leftovers. Pizza, barbecue… a half eaten sandwich that’s probably not edible anymore.”

Alani laughed. “You’re not suppose to break character, Dad.” She said rolling her eyes. “Alright... well I’m trusting it. I don’t want anything to happen to you or whatever.” She grumbled out. The older she got the worse she got at expression her feelings and saying things like that. Smiling she nodded. “Oh, I would dare. I mean technically I wasn’t even suppose to leave her apartment. She’s probably going to freak out in about... thirty minutes when she gets home and realizes I’m not there.” She smiled bigger. “Ew.. what dad, Seriously? Left over pizza is the best though.”

“I know I can’t handle it on my own, and if Jock ain’t goin’ then that means I ain’t goin’. Somebody’s gotta stick behind and make sue his stubborn ass stays put. I don’t want ya thinkin’ that ya gonna go and put ya self in harm’s way ‘cause that’s not happenin’.” Trusty shook his head, his face going stern for a moment. “I’m sure the rest of the family can handle it but ain’t nothin’ wrong with sittin’ this one out. Helpin’ behind the scenes, ya know?” He braced himself for the argument that was sure to come, trying his hardest to keep his face clear of any emotion as we stood his ground.

Alani was stubborn, and liked to be in on the action. The only thing she’d ever really listen to is her father - which drove her mom crazy, but she let out a long sigh and slummed against the counter. “Okay... I won’t do anything, only if you promise you won’t. Cause I mean .. If I find out you’re going anywhere near the thing by yourself.. I’ll do the worst thing. I’ll tell mom.” She said narrowing her eyes at him. “Fine.But just so you know - I am stronger then you think I am, and you’ll see that someday!” She huffed out. “Can you do the father thing and feed me though?” Arms crossed over her face like the child she is.

“Yeah, o’ course…how didn’t I ever think ’bout that?” He deadpanned and tried not to roll his eyes at the girl, he focused his attention on another gun and disassembling it. “Yeah, we’ve got a gist of wha’s goin’ on. Puttin’ tha’ theory into practice, tha’s a whole ‘nother story.” Jock nodded as Alani spoke, smiling a bit at the thought of both him and his brother having big families. “I kno’, by one boy, I met ‘em…you’re the first one o’ yours I meet, tho.” He chuckled drily. “Tha’s…literally the last place ya wanna be, kiddo. Nah, I meant he’d be after me if I let ya tag along, knowin’ all tha’s at risk.” 

Rolling her eyes she couldn’t help but laugh. “Hey! I was just checking, cool it old man.” She smiled playfully towards him. “What’s the theory. If I can’t be out in the action can we at least talk about it?” Alani nodded. “Kala and Wyatt aren’t really into the whole paranormal thing like I am. I really took after my dad on that side of things, so no surprise you haven’t seen them. Probably hiding or something.” She shrugged. “Oh... right..” she said looking down at her feet for a moment. “Is Aunt Cat going to help you guys out too?”

“I’m sorry that my timin’ ain’t convenient for ya.” He shook his head, recognizing more and more of his own personality in the girl the longer they talked. “I heard somethin’ ‘bout shards but to be honest I didn’t think that things had gotten as bad as folks kept sayin’ - ‘til I ran into ya that is. I’ve seen a lot of unexplanable things but this is takin’ the cake.” Trusty shook his head quickly, hoping to shut down any talk of his brother going for another round with whatever had left him beaten the first time. “Nah, if I’ve got anythin’ to do with it Jock ain’t gettin’ anywhere near that thing. Can’t say that sayin’ ‘no’ is gonna stop him but I’m gonna try my best.” He gave her a long look before continuing, “And I hope that ya ain’t thinkin’ ‘bout taggin’ along with whoever’s goin’ after that thing - if everythin’ I’ve heard and seen is true it’s way too dangerous. I wouldn’t feel right ‘bout havin’ ya out there in somethin’ like that.”

“Yeah, well work on it.” She laughed a little shaking her head. It felt nice to be around her father, like she was back home in some sort of way which helped ease her mind with everything going around. Biting her lip she nodded. “Well, hate to break it to you, it’s probably worse then what you’ve been hearing.” Frowning a little she looked up at her father crossing her arms, more of her mother shining through now. “Well if you’re not going to let Jock go out there, you’re not going out there. Dad, you’re my hero - and I know you’re like superman  but you can’t handle it on your own.” Looking around she narrowed her eyes. “I might have been.. but that’s because it’s going to take an army to take her down! Like a Ryan army or something. I don’t know.”

“Kala sounds like a ‘lil bit of a wild child… Guess it’ll keep things interestin’ ‘round the house?” Trusty chuckled as he imagined Nani going head-to-head with a daughter that seemed to follow her own set of rules - or so he figured from the way Alani spoke of her. He smiled a bit, hearing the determination in her voice as she spoke. “Ain’t a quitter huh? I actually like the sound of that but somethin’ tells me I shouldn’t be encouragin’ it. Oh well, technically I ain’t gotta be a responsible parent just yet.” He scoffed, nervusly running his fingers thrugh his hair. “Don’t make it weird! Ain’t nothin’ too serious ‘bout it, ‘kay? Don’t look at me like that.” He rolled his eyes. “Speakin’ of goin’ back to ya own time… Any idea on when that’s gonna happen? Not that I’m rushin’ it, but I figured that some of these magic folks ‘round here would’ve found out a way to get everythin’ back to normal by now. Guess it really is gonna come down to a fight, somethin’ I ain’t lookin’ forward to.”

“Oh, she’s the wild one alright. Between you and mom she’s more the you guys can handle. It’s a joint effort and then some half the time.” she laughed a little thinking about it. “You’ll have fun, promise.” Shaking her head she smiled up at him. “Is it a surprise that I’m not? I mean you are my father, and have you met mom?” She asked with a small laugh. “You probably shouldn’t, but whatever. I know my limits on things, kinda. Exactly! See don’t have to be a responsible Dad just yet.” Hearing him she laughed loudly as she let her feet swing from the seat she took on the counter. “I’m not trying to make it weird! What’s weird is being a kid to parents who aren’t even together! Like why couldn’t us Ryan’s been lucky and you two have your stuff figured out yet.” She complained rolling her own eyes.  Alani shrugged softly. “We have to collect the shards. But.. something tells me we’re gonna have to do a little more then that. “ she said softly. Alani knew her family, and it’s power. Between Uncle Jock and Aunt Cat alone that was a force to not be messed with, but that also met her dads help. “Do you have to fight? Like... are there others beside you and Uncle Jock and Aunt Cat that know a lot about demons and stuff.”

“I figured that it would be good practice, ya know, for the future.” Trusty winked with a chuckled. “What kinda father would I be if I just let any ‘ole boy come ‘round my gals without strikin’ a good amount of fear into ‘em? Ya ain’t gonna end up alone forever, just ‘til I approve of the right guy.” He made a face, not happy about her statement. “Well can ya do future me a favor and ease up on the fightin’? I don’t really like the idea of always havin’ to have one of these things in stock in case ya come home with a black eye or somethin’. And maybe, if ya absolutely have to fight,why not somebody ya size? Seems like it would help ya in the long run and ya wouldn’t be so banged up afterwards.” He rolled his eyes. “Don’t call it ‘cute’! That’s somethin’ ya say ‘bout two kids in middle school - Nani and I are adults. But… yeah, I mean, I haven’t told her ‘bout ‘em yet but I guess she’ll find ‘em sooner or later, huh?”

“You have some time before you can put all that into use. Lost of practice time - besides it’s Kala you should be more worried about. It’s like a new boy every week, I swear.” she shrugged a little with an innocent grin on her face. “Well you wouldn’t be the father we admire so much, that’s for sure, but seriously. We’re adults, you can’t keep us in the nest forever.” She said scrunching her nose a little as she heard his tone -  knowing she was about to get a small dad talk. “I don’t go looking for fights! Some people just really tick me off! And I never throw the first punch. That was our rule after my first fight. I just don’t like giving up... “ She shrugged a little. “because people my size know not to mess with me, it’s the bigger ones that find humor in it.” She mumbled a little. “You’re adults acting like middle school kids” She grinned ear to ear. “Still finding it pretty darn cute. Sooner or later huh? You plan on having mom over? Please for all that’s good will you wait till we’re like in our own time before that?” She made a face at him.

“It’s alright–it’s just stress, is all. Normally, I’m not this frazzled,” Cat sighed until she tilted her head. “Nani…where have I heard that name before…” She trailed off, tapping her chin. “Three? Oh how lovely! I bet Trusty will be thrilled to hear,” She grinned excitedly. “But, I do need you to elaborate, so there’s you three, then my four–I’m assuming there’s more of you from the future?” She asked with an inquisitive look.

“No I understand. I mean my mom almost bit my head off cause she thought I was just trying to pull some sick prank or something. It’s a lot for everyone to take in, add the danger factor of a demon and well.. it’s a mess.” She shrugged a little. “She’s really big into surfing - works a lot. My mom isn’t very social..yet , my dad kinda brings it out of her more and more.” she shrugged a bit. Grinning at the talk of her dad she nodded. “Yeah, he seemed pretty thrilled! I mean Wyatt is the perfectly little country boy, and well him and I go exploring in haunted houses. OH... you mean like in general, yeah. There’s a lot of us in the future that are here now. Almost everyone that you’re going to school with, or are friends with.. has a child here. The demon brought us all here.”

“Long day, sarcasm isn’t necessarily processing right about now,” Catrina sighed. “I–guess?” She responded, slightly weirded out by the whole ordeal before quirking up a smile. “Bueno…gracias. You talk way too much and way too fast. So I’ll ask, who is your mother and–I’m assuming there are more of you from the future?” 

Alani bit her cheek and nodded. “Right..sorry.” she said taking in a deep breath to try and get a better vibe in the air around them. At least her uncle was in good mood when she found him. “My mom is Nani Pelekai, and yes there are three of us. Me, Kala and Wyatt.”

Clara nodded with a small grin, “Of course. There was one that was found yesterday by security, thankfully. Now there’s just one more missing and we’re hoping it’s not in Abaddon’s possession yet.” The woman shook her head, “No, thankfully. There are people who are just injured…badly, but, thankfully, they are holding on. That’s the bright side on this bleak cloud over our heads.” Before Clara could say anything about the girl happening, what Alani said made Clara’s decision clear. “Absolutely not,” She shook her head. “You are a walking target. Abaddon is after your father, your uncle, and your aunt. Anyone who descends from those three, and that includes you, are in danger and I’d advise you lay low. Two of your cousins are already in the infirmary because they’ve encountered her. This is for your safety.” 

“What happens if it’s in her possession?” She asked softly. “I mean.. I figured the longer we’re stuck in your time the more damage that can be done messing with time but.. “ Alani nodded, happy to hear that no one had the ultimate take down and that they were still alive. Looking up she blinked a few times. “Don’t worry I don’t plan on going against my dad or mother... or you or any of the parents choice to stay inside. I know how dangerous these things can be and well this one seems to be the most dangerous I’ve ever seen.” Frowning a little she nervously bit at her lip. For the first time Alani started to feel herself accept the fear in her. Mostly because her family was a huge target. “ Why is she after them.. I talked with Uncle Jock a little and he made it sound like he had something to do with it. They’re gonna be okay though right? I mean if anyone can handle it it’s them right? Sorry. I just... I’m scared.” She said a bit with a shrug. Saying the word and emotion she hardly ever admitted to.

Clara looked over at the girl, responding clearly and calmly, “Yes, people have brought some in periodically. There are 11 shards in possession and there are 7 out there left.” She appeared hopeful, but at the mention of the domino effect, her demeanor became a little more somber. “We’ll do our best to prevent casualties, but yes. If a parent dies, the child disappears. Now if the child dies, the mother experiences excruciating physical pain…which is why we need to tread with absolute caution at all times.” 

Alani took in a deep breath. Eleven shards wasn’t all that horrible. At least they had more in their possession then what was missing. “That’s good though, that we have more .. “ She tried to throw in some light on the situation. Biting into her bottom lip she nodded, understanding what she was saying. “That... hasn’t happened yet right?” She asked almost nervously afraid of the answer. Alani hadn’t heard of anything, but she had to just be sure. “Do you need help? I mean passing out things for peoples protection? My parents and uncle are dead set on keeping me away from the action  - which yes, I know it’s best. Just... I can at least help behind closed doors right?”

headmistress-clara:

“I assure you, this will end successfully, but I do advise that you walk around in a group dear. We’ve had far too many injuries and…” She sighed, “I’m hoping there are no casualties.” 

Alani had always been one that felt the need to always have than answers, or at least couldn’t keep her curiosity tucked away. “How many pieces do you have... I mean has anyone got any?” She asked biting at the inside of her cheek. “I’ve heard talk, but..” With a deep breath she looked at her. “What happens if there is casualties? A domino effect of that family?No parent... no kid right?”

Jock clicked his tongue, focusing his attention on the guns in front of him. “Somethin’ like tha’, yeah. Information was…missin’.” He cleared his throat, nodding at the girl with a less guarded expression. “Nice t’meet ya again, then.” James listened to the explanation with a quirked brow. “There’s more o’ ya? Tha’s cool! Ya gettin’ on the hang o’ it n’ all.” Jock laughed, shaking his head. “Hm, yeah, don’t be buyin’ the world’s best uncle mug soon. One, ‘ts dangerous out there. Two, ‘ts even more dangerous with a deranged Moose lurkin’ ‘round for me.”

Alani narrowed her eyes and nodded softly. “Well, I mean if you caused this, you probably know what you did, so you can just.. fix it?” She laughed a little. “Or at least you have an idea on how to fix it, right?” She asked fingers crossed a little over the thought of it all. “Mhm, there’s me, Kala, and Wyatt. You have dad beat on the most kids though.” She laughed a little shaking her head. Alani rolled her eyes hearing him as she flopped further in the chair she sat herself in. “Oh come on! Wouldn’t the safest place be with you guys? Wait.. Dad’s after you? Why?” She frowned. “I mean because you caused this? Come on - how were you suppose to know you’d mess with time.. and stuff.”

“We’re all a team…but I brought this not only over m’self, but all o’ ya. Wouldn’t risk it if I could.” He sighed, knowing there was no way in hell Trusty or Cat would let him alone with that Demon again. Jock nodded at her words, something did seem familiar about the girl. “Now, that, I can believe.” He gave her a small, inquisitive smile. “Ya kno’ me, but I’ve no clue who ya are.”

Alani kept an innocent smile on her face while she listened to him. “What do you.. I mean are you the reason she’s after all of us? No offence, I mean you’re my family and everything.” She shrugged a bit trying to understand it all. “It’s a weird thing. I’ve known you my whole life and now I’m just a stranger. I’m Alani , and the the Trusty child that has an obsession with the supernatural like my dad and you. You could be worlds best uncle though and let me tag along. Promise I won’t tell my dad you let me . ” She grinned up at him.

“Yeah, go me.” Trusty couldn’t deny the feeling of happiness that washed over him as he thought about all of the great things that his future held for him. “What, is it too soon? Jus’ ‘cause I’m a ‘lil younger than ya used to don’t mean I ain’t the boss.” He chuckled, his attempt at keeping a straight face failing. He shook his head quickly, raising up one hand. “No, I don’t think ya should tell her somethin’ like that, she’ll just have a heart attack. Maybe keep it between us… and ya right, no boy is gettin’ within a ten mile radius of ya without me starin’ ‘em down.” He smiled widely, happy that his favorite hobby was being passed down to at least one of his children. “’Course she calls, I wouldn’t expect anythin’ else.” He moved to the small kitchen, pulling an ice pack from the freezer to hand to her. “Here, ‘bout time this thing got put to use.”

Watching her Dad’s face she smiled to herself a little. It was nice to see him so happy, or at least happy with knowing she was a thing and her siblings. Alani was a big afraid to see her parents, but it was worth it. “Yes it’s too soon! You just found out your a parent and you’re already putting on the dad pants, chill. mom I understand she’s mom all the time.” She alughed a bit. Alani nodded making a face. “Yeah... she’d fall over and die probably to hear it.” Looking at him she nodded. “Well.. you see - that’s why I don’t bring boys home, or around. You’d scare them off and I would be alone forever. You’re a kind man, but a scary father over me and Kala.” She nodded with a small laugh. “At least you understand what you’re getting yourself into with mom.” Taking the ice pack she set it against her face with a content sigh. “This isn’t the first time you’ve handed me an ice pack by the way.” She laughed. “So you really just keep these here cause mom told you to? Aw - it’s kinda cute seeing the early stages of you guys.”

“Nah, I’ve always wanted kids I just never thought that I’d be meetin’ ‘em right now.” Trusty thought for a moment before giving in with a sigh. “Yeah, nineteen makes ya an adult but it doesn’t mean ya have everythin’ figured out. Keep that in mind, ‘kay?” He rocked on the balls of his feet for a moment, trying his best to come up with a reply. Meeting his daughter was one thing, but her admitting that she was more interested in hook ups than relationships was a conversation he’d never wanted to have. “Right… ‘kay. I don’t have anythin’ to say to that. Does Nani know ‘bout that?” He smiled, imagining raising a son who loved everything about Texas just like he did. His eyes grew big when she mentioned her interest in haunted places. “Wait… ya actually into the whole investigatin’ thing? Really?” He laughed. “That’s awesome! Do we ever go out on hunt together?” He nodded. “RN, huh? That’s impressive.”

“Right... I guess that’s kinda weird. At least you know you get them, and have a great family - and wife! Like you go Dad.” She said playfully hitting his arm with a small laugh. Rolling her eyes she looked up at him. “I know that, but I think with you and mom I have more figured out then others my age. You’re jumping right into the whole father thing huh?” She asked with a small laugh. “Didn’t think you would.” She laughed loudly shaking her head. “Oh gosh no, I mean I’ll tell her if she asks, but it’s probably best she doesn’t know. It’s bad enough I just told you. You’re gonna be eyeing every guy now trying to get a death glare or something.” She grumbled a little. “Yeah! I mean you used to talk about them a lot, and I begged forever it seemed for you to take me. It’s kinda our thing. I mean you and Wyatt have the Texas thing. You and Kala have the whole first born attachment thing, and you and I we go hunting. With mom calling every hour to make sure we’re alright, but we manage.” She laughed. “Yeah.. it’s pretty crazy. I’m almost done though.”

“Yeah. We were best friends first and old habits kind of die hard. Our entire friendship was built on insulting each other. Now we just added making out into the mix.” Wren laughed. “Alright, I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for you gagging over there.” Pulling a throw pillow onto her lap, she shrugged. “It’s scary as hell…but it’s worth it. My dad always said the more terrified you feel, the more real it is because it means you finally have something to lose.” She grinned over at Alani. “Excellent. Time travel works up an appetite, doesn’t it?”

Alani laughed. “I mean that’s the way to do it. Building a good foundation with a friendship like that. I mean you seem happy, so I guess I’m happy for you two sappy love birds.” She said rolling her eyes a little. Alani nodded softly. “Well you’re dads right about that. I mean I can’t really disagree. I think that’s when I know I’ve falling in love with someone. When Im afraid to actually lose someone. But I have plenty of time to figure that out. Not all of us are as lucky as you to find that so young.” She laughed. “Im starving so they better get here fast.”

Jock sighed, content she had sat on the chair and backed down…for the moment. “Goin’ there alone if I have the chance, no need t’drag more people in this shi…stuff. Wait. I’m takin’…your dad?” James looked at her. “Ryan?” He frowned, looking at her closely. “Like m’kinda Ryan? Ya sure?”

“I mean... you and dad are kinda a duo. What about Aunt Cat? i mean if anyone is the dynamic duo.” she said with a shrug. Nodding she looked at him. “Trusty’s my dad.” She gave a small nod. “Pretty positive like your kind of Ryan, just not your... Ryan. Your niece Ryan.”
