Soon after Kaleb and Amalia announced they were officially an item, the temptation to time travel was becoming apparent in the young adults. Admittingly, Freddie was the first to crack. His mother had to hide anything to do with time travel when she had caught. That didn't seem to stop his obsession with it. It went as far as him begging his Uncle Jacob to take him somewhere. His uncle obliged and sneakily gave him a special vortex manipulator.

"It will only be detected by its user and whoever the user allows to." Jacob had explained with a grin. Freddie rolled it in his hands, looking at it in awe.

"Who made it?" He asked, his tone full of excitement. Jacob smirked at his nephew's interest.

"An old friend of mine. Well, actually your dad's but we know of each other. His name is Mathew Hornby; he's like Jonah." Freddie stared at his uncle in pure interest. Jonah was his godfather and he knew about him being immortal. "He bares no relation to Jonah though. Matt actually comes from a family of immortals."

"Wow," he was truly amazed and lost for words at that fact. His grandfather and father hadn't told him about that. "Is he the one who likes to flirt and shoot people?"

"Ah, so your father has mentioned him?" Jacob chuckled at his nephew's words. "And he doesn't shoot people, he just likes guns. His family are military people," he explained. That still sounded amazing to Freddie. "Did you know that there's a human counterpart of your dad around? He had his foot chopped off once (it grew back) and he kept it in this jar. Well, Matt kept your dad's foot in a jar."

"Ew," Freddie scrunched up his face. "That's just disgusting."

"Well, I believe Matt was in love with your father but said nothing. He knew that Chastity-belt was destined for someone else. That was why he kept the foot and then it fell out once. Matt when to pick it up with his bare hands and, well, his DNA must have infused with the foot 'cause a naked Chas was standing in front of him.

"Its not a good thought but Matt was loving it. I think your father really cared about Matt before your mother came along. Maybe it was love; who knows? But he told his human clone to spend his life with Matt and he just did that. Of course he changed his name. The clone that was, not your father and Matt."

"What's his name now?" Freddie inquired with curiosity. His uncle grinned at his nephew before reaching forward and ruffling his hair.

"Eoin Hornby but don't tell your parents I said anything. I don't know if Chas went into details about it. All that's important that's he loves your mother too much and that is all in the past." This showed Freddie how much his uncle cared about the latter it was nice to see for once.

"That's either a good or bad thing," he replied with a grin. Freddie then turned back to the vortex manipulator. "Is this Matt an inventor or something? Like Uncle Leo."

"A bit. Matt prefers to do other things than actually use his talents. It was why he had a mutual understanding with an old friend of ours. Jonah's older brother." His tone was a bit quiet as he said it. Jacob didn't want to mention more names without his nephew getting excited. The boy would probably want to me meet him next. That could happen yet.
