Chapter 18

"I will ask you one more time. Where are my children?" Renae left her fathers side and stepped forward.

"Renae.. you're back.." Rosia had tears forming in her eyes.

"Yes I am and I'd like to see my children." She crossed her arms more irritated then before.

"I gave them to Koda to watch. He promised to keep them safe."

"Oh. That's a relief. Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just been a long day." Renae swatted at the air and stepped forward giving Rosia a hug.

"Excuse me? I don't like Koda!" I yelled in frustration.

"And I don't blame you. He locked you out of the house twice. Still, he's been kind and he's loved the twins when he came to the house the second time." She laughed at me.

"Seriously?"

"Let's go get my children. Dad you go and sleep on your own bed. We'll be back soon." She smiled looking back at Jarrod.

"I want to go with you." Jarrod stepped forward with his eyes flashing.

"There's no need. You need to go home, sleep and eat. Not roam around with me. I promise I'll be back with the kids and we'll see you soon."

"Okay.." He was visibly disappointed but he agreed.

-

We were walking out to the car after Jarrod had already walked back to the house when Rosia finally spoke up "Renae, I don't think you should bring your children around him yet. He's still not mentally stable." Rosia said worried.

"I'm grateful for your worry but I don't need it. I know what I'm doing." Renae said as she opened the passenger side door to the car.

"I know you do but I'm just saying-"

"Rosia. Please don't argue with me. There's some stuff you don't know that I do. So with all due respect. Drop it. You're welcome to come with or stay here but I'm going to get my kids and then I'm going home. Whether that's here or back at Adams and my place." Without another word she sat down in the front seat of the car and closed the door. I shook my head and got in the driver seat and waited for Eros to join. Rosia had a concerned look on her face but inevitably got in the back with Eros.

"Ready?" I asked nervous. Renae just looked ahead stuck in her thoughts.

---Renaes POV---

"Are we ready?" Adam rubbed my hand distracting me from my conversation with Helios.

"Uh.. Yes, let's go." I smiled and turned towards the window.

"So how am I supposed to announce all of this to the world?" I heeard Helios amused voice ring again.

"Remember when I said sending a mental message to everyone? Would that work?" I listened to Adam start the car and watched as we slowly back out of the parking spot.

"It might, but I was thinking maybe like a television broadcast?"

"You're just saying that because you want to be on TV. Besides, I don't even know how much longer TV will be airing since we don't have any humans running anything like that." I couldn't help but smirk at the idea of seeing Helios on TV.

"Witches? Don't your kind know about making the world go round without lifting fingers? I've seen it done before."

"We went from a world wide population of a few billion to about five hundred million. Maybe a little more but even still, That's way to much power to make the world to continue running like Earth. I don't think we'll be keeping television unless we have volunteers for working the networks and everything."
