Katrina Kuznetsov's POV
I don't believe what just happened last night. I don't remember being that passionate with my screaming and my voice was almost gone as I can feel that my throat was dry. It was early in the morning. I turned to look at Conall's sleeping head as he was draping his arms around my waist. I smiled in that thought, the thought that he wanted me and it was not one-sided love.
I took in the breathtaking view of my right side of the bed. His tousled brown hair, his curled and thick lashes, his kissable lips that had known all the places that made me scream last night. I blushed at that thought before I went to look at his broad shoulder and chest. He was the perfection of a young man, prime and ready in his attack to make women swoon at his feet.
I felt my blood was boiled at the thought of his past lovers as I know that I don't have the chance to grab his virginity from him as he did to mine. He moved a little bit as I have to be careful not to wake him up. I was playing lightly with his hair when his hand snatched my hand.
"Argh!" I shrieked as I know that he was awake and ready as I can sense the familiar feeling of his meat at my tummy right now. He opened his eyes and that emerald orbs were greeting me with such depth that I don't think that he could ever be more handsome than he already was but I was wrong.
"Good morning, love," he said in his sext, throaty voice of just waking up.
"Morning," I said shyly as I don't know where was all the boldness that I have in me has gone to. He chuckled before he pulled into his arms.
"What, no kiss?" He asked as I looked at him. He was smirking as he pulled my lips onto his and it was bliss.
After spending some time in the bed after waking up and getting some more action inside the bathroom, I think we're ready to go get some breakfast as I was putting on the yellow sundress that he liked and went downstairs to meet Jack and someone that I was familiar with. To my surprise, my father has come into this home, this estate of Conall. And he was nowhere to be found.
"Father, what are you doing here?" I asked him warily as he was leaning on the table. Jack was tied to the chair and he was out cold.
"What is the meaning of this?" I asked as I was trying to make sense of what has happened around me right now.
"I assume that this bloody bastard has told you about the truth of your blood or was it your mother? Well, I never knew about that either since she was announced dead," he said as he was looking at me with a smug on his face.
"Why are you doing all this?" I asked him as I was trying to reason with him. He took off from the table and walked around Jack as he put his hands on top of the chair.
"You see, my dear, when you have this kind of power in your hands, you cannot ignore the urge, the thrill to discover something new and used it for the benefits of the world," he said as he looked at me. He took jack's face in his hand as he looked at me.
"look at this poor fellow, he will be the end of the line of The house of Reid. Their very existence will come to an end and I have you to thank my dear," he said as I was clutching my hands into a fist at my side.
"I'm done with your games, father. I don't want to be a part of it anymore," I said as I looked at him. He looked at me before arching an eyebrow at me.
"is that resistance I sensed from you, Katrina? I know that look," he said as he pointed at me. I don't know what he was talking about.
"you're in love! That's explained everything. The resistance, the bold snide remarks and only one person that I can blame it on, Conall Reid. But no worries, I will make sure that he would never exist in our perfect world, my dear," he said as he was coming at me slowly.
"no, screw you with your perfect world. Conall, now!" I shouted before something coming to stung my father's neck. He took the syringe and laughed at me.
"You think a mere plaything can keep me away from achieving my dreams?" He asked as he was holding it in his hand.
"no, but the dose in it could kill a thousand man without an antidote," Conall's voice filled the room as I turned to look at him.
Conall Reid's POV
After our little section of getting off our carnal desires for each other, I went to my room to get things done while Katrina was fast asleep in her bed. I don't want to wake her up hence I just went toward the room and did what I did the best drugs.
I have put some formula that I know Vaughn Kuznetsov will never be able to stand it in one shot. I read his profile. He has enhanced body metabolism that made he was immune to most drugs, but not the new ones that I made from scratch.
"Let's see if you can get out of this alive, old man," I said before I put it inside the crossbow and get ready for the morning that we knew he would visit us. Jack's scout has found that he was on his way to the estate to talk to Jack. And with Katrina's help to get him down, I know that we had a chance against him.
"You traitor!" Vaughn shouted as he looked at us. I pulled Katrina to my side as I looked at him in his sad state.
"no, you're the traitor. You have compromised the history of the world and we would never let you change it," I said as I looked at him. He was laughing at me and Katrina before he continued to speak, even though in his demise state.
"You think you have won, Reid? Well, think again. I suppose you don't want anything to happen to your twin, right my dear? She only had 24 hours to be alive if you managed to get her out of the tube that was pumping blood out of her body. Tick tock, my dear," was the last thing he said before he took a deep breath and fall fast asleep. Katrina turned to look at me as I know that she was worried about her sister.
"We have to find that emerald. Now!" She said as I went to wake up Jack but it was no use. He was losing consciousness and cannot be revived as he was sound asleep.
"Damn it, I think we have to search the entire house for it," I said we nodded at each other. I know that maybe Jack has it somewhere unless Danielle has the advantage to get it out of here without us even know it.
"Katrina!" I shouted as I went to the dining room and I was looking at her father's coat. Just as I suspected.
"What? Did find it?" She asked as she was coming into the room. She looked at me with wide eyes as I was holding the emerald in my hands.
"you find it? But where?" She asked before I looked at her father.
"Oh, right," she said as she looked at the emerald before I gave it to her. I went to take Vaughn and carried him on my shoulder.
"Alright, we're ready," I said as I looked at Katrina to get ready for transport back to our time.
"Right, okay, here goes nothing," she held the emerald inside her hands and waited. Waited and waited. Waiting until nothing was happening.
"I don't understand," she said as she looked at me. I don't understand it either as she was looking at me and I was looking at her.
"well, there must be something to trigger it to happen. Remember what your mother said, the bloodline of time travel. I think we need some of your blood to make it work.
"Okay, here," I said as I handed a small knife to her.
"Thanks," she mumbled before she went to cut her finger and red blood was coming out of her finger.
"here goes nothing, the second time was a charm," she said as she took my hand and I held her tightly.
"No regret?" I asked her. She turned to look at me and kissed me on the lips.
"Never," she said before lights were coming out of the emerald and with the heat that was coursing through our body, we were gone from the dining hall, jack's face and the estate. We were gone for good.
