Moselia's eyes narrowed, her grip on Zayn's and Ross's hands tightening. "So, you're saying we can't take on Umbra directly because they're too powerful, but we can take on Sophia?"
Erebus nodded. "Sophia is a key player in Umbra's operations, but she's also a wild card. She has her own agenda, and taking her down could give us an advantage. Using her powers to manipulate and control. She needs to be stopped."
Zayn's eyes flashed with anger. "And she's been using us, playing us against each other. It's time we take back control."
Ross nodded in agreement. "Let's do it. Let's take down Sophia and make a statement to Umbra."
Dr. Samir hesitated, his expression worried. "I don't know if this is wise. We're not even sure what Sophia's capabilities are."
Erebus's face set in determination. "We'll be careful. We'll gather intel, come up with a plan, and take her down. It's time we take the fight to them."
Moselia's eyes blazed with determination. "Let's do it. Let's show them what we're capable of."
"after all, she might have the power of being part of the umbra, but she doesn't have the genetic modification powers we have" Moselia Said proudly.
Zayn and Ross exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with a mix of confidence and determination. "That's right," Zayn said, his voice firm. "We have something that Umbra doesn't - our bond, our connection, and our unique abilities."
Ross nodded, his jaw set. "We're not just experiments, we're the future. And we're going to take down anyone who tries to control us."
Erebus smiled, a hint of pride in his eyes. "That's the spirit. Let's gather our strength, our allies, and our information. We'll take down Sophia, and then we'll take on Umbra."
Dr. Samir nodded, his expression serious. "I'll start working on a plan, gathering intel on Sophia's operations and weaknesses. We'll need to be strategic if we're going to take her down."
Moselia's eyes shone with excitement. "This is it, guys. This is our chance to take back control, to show them what we're capable of. Let's do it."
The group shared a moment of determination, their hearts beating as one. They knew the road ahead would be tough, but they were ready. They were ready to face whatever lay ahead, together.
Moselia chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "I think we all have been missing those comforts. A warm bed, a hot shower, and a decent meal can work wonders for the soul."
Ross grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "And maybe some decent clothes? I'm sick of wearing these rags."
Erebus laughed, his face creasing with smile lines. "Ah, my friends, you'll be treated like royalty at my base. I promise you that."
Zayn's stomach growled at the mention of food. "Lead the way, Erebus. We're all starving."
Dr. Samir nodded, his expression relieved. "A break from the woods will do us good. We can regroup, recharge, and plan our next move."
"we should go to my other base, it's gets more better than in the woods here, and also there's hot bath, foods, lots of sight seeing, and many other things" Erebus said and everyone laughed..
"I've actually been missing great food" Zayn said.
"And a warm bed" Dr Samir said.
After eating a warm hearty meal..
Everyone had dispersed to bed, ready to move out of the forest tomorrow...
I wasn't sleepy and was sitting when I heard footsteps and saw Moselia..
My eye shone briefly before I smiled..
"Hey"
"Oh, hi Ross, can't sleep?" I shook my head..
She took a bottle of water and drank then giggled.
"What"
"This reminds me of back in my house, at that time remember, when your eyes was following me around everywhere"
He smiled, "yeah I remember, you're really one bold lady"
"So.. let me ask you that same question I did" she stepped closer, the sway of her hip clearly visible on that cloth.
He gulped unknowingly as he looked at her in the eyes.
"See something you like?" She whispered, her hand trailing down his chest lightly.
Ross's heart skipped a beat as Moselia's hand grazed his chest, her touch sending shivers down his spine. He swallowed hard, trying to play it cool, but his eyes betrayed him, lingering on her curves. "Maybe," he whispered back, his voice husky.
Moselia's smile was sultry, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I think you do," she purred, her hand tracing a path down his arm. "You know, Ross, I've been thinking... maybe we've been through too much together to just ignore this tension between us."
Ross's pulse quickened, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't help the way he felt. "Moselia, I...," he started, but she cut him off.
"Shh, Ross. No need to say anything. I just want to be close to you, feel your warmth." She leaned in, her lips brushing against his ear, sending shivers down his spine.
Ross's eyes closed, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew he was walking a fine line, but he couldn't resist Moselia's charms.
"I.. I can't Mosi, I can't do this, Zayn.."
"Doesn't care, you guys are one and the same remember?" She whispered..
"It's true" they both turned and saw Zayn..
"Hey sleeping beauty" Zayn kissed Mosi.
"Why are you awake?" She whispered..
"Was thirsty, and undoubtedly heared your conversation.. although I'm slightly jealous to be sharing you but I can't be jealous of my own self, better him than no one else, I'll be in my room" he kissed her again and left.
Moselia's eyes widened in surprise, then a soft smile spread across her face. "Well, I guess that settles it," she whispered, turning back to Ross.
Ross's eyes were still fixed on Zayn's retreating back, a mix of emotions swirling inside him. He felt a pang of guilt, but also a sense of relief. He looked back at Moselia, who was watching him with an understanding gaze.
"I guess it does," Ross said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Moselia stepped closer, her eyes locked on his. "We're in this together, Ross. All three of us. And who knows, maybe this is what we need to heal, to move forward."
Ross's heart skipped a beat as Moselia's lips brushed against his. He felt a spark of electricity, and knew that nothing would ever be the same again.
She giggled..
"You've undoubtedly liked me before haven't you Ross??"
Ross's face turned bright red as he looked away, trying to hide his embarrassment. "Mosi, come on...," he protested, but his voice trailed off as he couldn't deny the truth.
Moselia's giggles turned into laughter, and she playfully pushed Ross's shoulder. "I knew it! I knew you had feelings for me!"
Ross's eyes met Moselia's, and he couldn't help but smile at her teasing. "Okay, okay... maybe I did," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.
Moselia's expression softened, and she stepped closer to Ross. "I've liked you too, Ross. For a long time."
Their eyes locked, and the air was filled with a sweet tension, the connection between them palpable.
"but then you were so stuck up, especially this face of yours, so good at hiding emotions, you think I haven't seen you staring at me when I swim?"
Ross's face turned an even deeper shade of red as he looked away, trying to hide his embarrassment. "Mosi, shut up...," he muttered, but he couldn't help the smile that spread across his face.
Moselia laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Oh, Ross, you're so easy to read. I've seen the way you look at me, like I'm some kind of treasure or something."
Ross shook his head, chuckling. "You're something, all right," he said, his voice low and husky.
Moselia's grin faltered for a moment, and she looked at Ross with a hint of vulnerability. "You really think so?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ross's eyes met Moselia's, and he nodded, his expression sincere. "I do," he said, his voice filled with conviction.
"you blush too easily"
His face turned red immediately..
"Mosi-"
She crashed her lip to his, cutting him short.
Ross's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly recovered, his lips moving in sync with Moselia's. The kiss was soft and gentle, yet electric with tension. Ross's hands instinctively wrapped around Moselia's waist, pulling her closer as they deepened the kiss.
Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in the moment, the world around them melting away. Ross's blush faded, replaced by a warm glow that spread throughout his body.
As they broke apart for air, Moselia's eyes sparkled with mischief. "You're still blushing," she whispered, her lips curling into a smile.
Ross chuckled, his face warm with happiness. "Can't help it," he replied, his voice husky.
Moselia's smile softened, and she leaned in for another kiss. "I like it," she whispered, her lips brushing against Ross's.
Ross's heart skipped a beat as Moselia's lips touched his again. He felt like he was melting into her, their lips moving in perfect sync. He deepened the kiss, his arms wrapping tighter around her waist, pulling her closer.
As they kissed, Ross felt a sense of belonging, like he'd finally found where he was meant to be. Moselia's touch ignited a fire within him, and he knew he couldn't let her go.
The world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the moment. Ross's heart pounded in his chest, and he knew he was falling deeply in love with Moselia.
As they broke apart for air, Moselia's eyes shone with happiness, and Ross knew he felt the same. "I like it too," he whispered, his voice barely audible.
Moselia smiled, her lips still inches from Ross's. "I'm glad," she whispered back, her breath tickling his skin.
Ross immediately carried her in bridal style back to her room..
As they passed Zayn's door, they heard him say.
"If you hurt her you're dead, nevermind you're me"
Ross smiled.
"I'd kill myself before that happens"
"Mind if I join you?" Zayn said again and this time Moselia blushed.
Moselia's face turned bright red as she buried her face in Ross's shoulder, giggling. "Zayn, stop teasing!" she whispered, her voice muffled.
Ross chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I think we've got this, Zayn. But thanks for looking out for her."
Zayn's voice came back, laced with humor. "Anytime, bro. Just remember, I'm always watching... or in this case, listening."
Moselia's blush deepened, and she playfully hit Ross's shoulder. "Take me to my room before I die of embarrassment!"
Ross laughed, quickening his pace. "Coming right up, my lady." "And I too" Zayn followed smirking.
As they entered Moselia's room, Ross gently set her down on the bed, his eyes never leaving hers. "We'll continue this later, okay?" he whispered, his voice husky.
"why? Why are you going? You don't want me anymore huh??
For a whole year, we haven't seen each other and this is all I get" she scowled at both Ross and Zayn.
"Fine then, good night" she used her blanket and covered her entire body from her face.
Zayn and Ross smirked and immediately took the blanket off.
"Hey; you-"
Ross kisses intercepted her words next as he held her neck in a chokehold while Zayn came from behind and kissed her neck.
Moselia's scowl turned into a mixture of surprise and delight as Ross's lips crashed onto hers, his grip on her neck gentle but firm. Zayn's lips on her neck sent shivers down her spine, and she felt herself melting into their touch.
She tried to protest, but Ross's kiss deepened, and Zayn's hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer. Moselia's resistance crumbled, and she surrendered to their affection.
As they broke apart for air, Moselia's eyes sparkled with mischief. "You two are something else," she whispered, her voice husky.
Ross grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "We're just getting started," he whispered back, his lips brushing against hers again.
Zayn chuckled, his breath tickling Moselia's ear. "We've got a year's worth of catching up to do," he whispered, his hands roaming her body.
Moselia's laughter was lost in Ross's kiss, as the three of them succumbed to their desires, their hearts beating as one.
As they kissed and touched, the room around them melted away, leaving only the three of them, lost in their own little world. Moselia's laughter turned to sighs of pleasure, her body arching into their touch.
Ross's hands tangled in her hair, deepening their kiss, while Zayn's lips traced a path down her neck, sending shivers down her spine. Moselia's heart raced, her pulse pounding in her veins.
Their bodies moved in sync, a dance of love and desire, as they made up for lost time. The air was thick with tension, their passion igniting a fire that burned bright and true.
In this moment, nothing else mattered, only the three of them, lost in their love, their hearts beating as one. Time stood still, and all that existed was the love they shared.
As Ross held her gently, he pushed himself inside of her as she arched her back.
She whimpered as Zayn gave her a bite on the neck.
"Moselia I love you" both Zayn and Ross said at once.
They both took turns having her, filling her to the brink, having seen Ross other side, Moselia couldn't help but smile.
She knew he loved her but she didn't know it was to this extent..
Zayn gazed lovingly into her eyes.
"Moselia" he whispered, his voice husky.
"Zayn, you-" She was saying when Ross bit her stomach gently and she bit her lip whimpering.
"Shh, let him speak," Ross whispered, his eyes locked on Moselia's, his fingers tracing gentle circles on her stomach.
Zayn's gaze never wavered, his eyes burning with intensity. "Moselia, from the moment I met you, I knew you were special. You light up my world in ways I never thought possible. I love you, not just for who you are, but for who you help me to be."
Moselia's heart swelled, her eyes shining with tears. She felt the same way about Zayn, about Ross. She knew she was loved, deeply and truly.
Ross's fingers stilled, his eyes never leaving Moselia's face. "We both do, Mosi. We love you, together and apart. You're the missing piece we never knew we needed."
Zayn's lips curved into a gentle smile. "Forever, Moselia. We'll love you forever."
Moselia's heart overflowed with emotion as she gazed at Zayn and Ross. She felt the same depth of love for them, and the thought of spending forever with them was almost too wonderful to bear.
"Forever," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
Ross's eyes shone with happiness as he leaned in to kiss her, Zayn joining in, their lips meeting in a tender, three-way kiss.
As they broke apart, Moselia smiled, feeling like the luckiest person alive. "I love you both," she said, her voice filled with conviction. "Forever and always."
Zayn and Ross grinned, their faces mirroring each other's joy. "We love you too, Mosi," they said in unison, their voices filled with promise.
In that moment, they knew that nothing could ever break their bond, their love strong enough to conquer all.
*********************
The following day, everyone came out having breakfast....
As Zayn and Ross sat down to eat, Erebus came out, "where's Moselia? It's already late and she still hasn't awoken?"
Zayn and Ross smiled.
They knew she was pretty exhausted, because they went on and on till the early hours of the morning.
Erebus's eyes narrowed, his gaze flicking between Zayn and Ross. "What's going on here? You two look like the cat who got the cream. And where is Moselia?"
Zayn and Ross exchanged a knowing glance, their smiles growing wider. "Oh, she's just... resting," Ross said, his voice dripping with innocence.
Erebus raised an eyebrow. "Resting? At this hour? Moselia's always the first one up, and now she's suddenly sleeping in?"
Zayn chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Let's just say she had a... eventful night."
Erebus's eyes widened, understanding dawning on his face. "Oh, I see. Well, in that case, I'll let her sleep. But just for now." He shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "You two are something else."
"you can't blame them, they're still young, but. Surprised at you Ross, you always so stuck up and hardly talk except about Moselia or to her, who knew you were such a wild card" Dr Samir said.
Ross's face turned bright red as he looked down at his plate, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. "Hey, I can be surprising," he muttered, his voice barely audible.
Zayn burst out laughing, his eyes shining with amusement. "That's an understatement, Doc! Ross here's got a whole other side to him."
Erebus chuckled, shaking his head. "I never thought I'd see the day. Ross, the quiet one, turning out to be a wild card."
Dr. Samir smiled, his eyes twinkling with warmth. "Well, love can bring out the best in people. And it's clear that Moselia has brought out a new side of you, Ross."
Ross's blush deepened, but he couldn't help the smile that spread across his face. He knew he'd changed, and it was all because of Moselia.
They heard cluster of feets and everyone looked up and saw Moselia, it was surprising, her hair was ruffled, visible hickeys she has tried to hide was on her neck and she was limping in a way she didn't want us to notice.
The room erupted in laughter and teasing calls as Moselia's disheveled state became apparent. "Well, well, well! Look what we have here!" Erebus chuckled, shaking his head.
Dr. Samir grinned, "I think we can safely say that Moselia's been thoroughly...ah...attended to."
Moselia's face turned bright red as Zayn carried her away, her eyes flashing with embarrassment. "Shut up, all of you!" she laughed, trying to hide her smile.
Zayn and Ross exchanged a knowing glance, their faces still flushed with happiness. They knew they'd spent a passionate night with Moselia, and they didn't care who knew it.
As they disappeared into the room, the laughter and teasing continued, with Erebus calling out, "Don't forget to eat, you three! You're going to need your strength!"
The door closed behind them, and Moselia's giggles could still be heard, mixed with Zayn and Ross's soothing whispers, as they tended to her and showered her with love.
"I'm tired" Moselia said.
"Of course you'll be baby, you were exhausted" Zayn teased and Ross held back a smile but it was apparently obvious.
Moselia playfully rolled her eyes, a faint smile on her lips. "Shut up, Zayn. You're not helping."
Ross's smile finally broke through, and he leaned in to kiss her forehead. "Don't worry, Mosi. We'll let you rest. We've got you."
Zayn nodded in agreement, his eyes softening. "Yeah, we'll take care of you. You're not alone in this."
Moselia's eyes fluttered closed, feeling safe and loved. "I know...I just...last night was...a lot."
Ross's voice was gentle. "We know, baby. And we're not sorry. We'll always be here for you."
Zayn added, "Always."
As they spoke, Moselia's breathing slowed, her body relaxing into their embrace. She knew she was loved, and that was all that mattered. With a contented sigh, she drifted off to sleep, surrounded by the two people she loved most.
Moselia playfully rolled her eyes, a faint smile on her lips. "Shut up, Zayn. You're not helping."

As they spoke, Moselia's breathing slowed, her body relaxing into their embrace. She knew she was loved, and that was all that mattered. With a contented sigh, she drifted off to sleep, surrounded by the two people she loved most.
Towards evening, everyone had gotten ready to depart including a well rested Moselia.
"Which country are we going now" Dr Samir asked Erebus.
Erebus grinned mischievously, his eyes twinkling with excitement. "Ah, my friends, we're off to Japan! Land of the rising sun, and a few other surprises I have in store for you."
Moselia's eyes widened, her face lighting up with excitement. "Japan? I've always wanted to visit!"
Zayn and Ross exchanged a knowing glance, their faces mirroring Moselia's enthusiasm. They knew that Erebus's "surprises" often led to thrilling adventures.
Dr. Samir chuckled, shaking his head. "I have a feeling this trip is going to be interesting."
Erebus's laughter echoed through the room. "You have no idea, my friends. Japan, here we come!"
Erebus had a big SUV truck which we used, after escaping the forest, he detonated a bomb to destroy the facilities inside.
"We can't leave any tracks now"
Each wearing the perfect disguise they set off.
It was gonna take some time.
As the SUV truck rumbled down the winding roads, Moselia gazed out the window, watching the forest recede into the distance. She felt a sense of relief wash over her, knowing they'd escaped the facility and destroyed any evidence of their presence.
Zayn and Ross sat on either side of her, their eyes scanning the surroundings, ever vigilant. They were dressed in casual, nondescript clothing, their hair styled differently, and sunglasses perched on their faces. Moselia had dyed her hair a darker shade, and wore a baseball cap and sunglasses, transforming her appearance.
Erebus drove, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his face set in a determined expression. Dr. Samir sat beside him, navigating through the GPS.
As they drove, the scenery outside changed, rolling hills and villages giving way to bustling cities and highways. They stopped occasionally, switching vehicles, and changing disguises, always staying one step ahead.
Time passed, hours blurring into days, as they traversed the vast expanse of countryside, their destination - Japan - still far away. But they knew they'd get there, together, as a team, and nothing would stop them.
