Eye of the Storm Book 1 of the Ember Rising Series

Chapter 3: Twisted Visions of a Lost Love

I own nothing except Ember.

It was around noon when the Blackbourne Team was all together again. They had all been summoned to the Headmasters office for some important news. Though they were anxious and had even Facetime the Toma team who were all ready on there way back from a mission. "Uhhh..When is Dr. Roberts supposed to be here it's been like thirty minutes." Said Luke groaning as he was nearly bouncing off the walls no doubt from eating some hidden sugary snacks as his brother North gave him a silent glare. "Mr. Taylor, Dr. Roberts had other concerns at the moment so I suggest you learn some patience." Said Owen as he gave Luke a stern look.

"Thank you Owen for such kind words in my defense." Said a disembodied voice before Doctor Phil Roberts appeared before them in a puff of smoke, his eyes filled with mirth as the group looked at him expectantly. "Gentleman thank you for coming as well as the rest of your brothers who are her via phone I have some exciting news. As of today you will all have a new roommate." He said calmly. There was an eerie moment of silence before an atomic bomb of shouting erupted through the room and over the phone. Shouts of outrage and rage at someone foreign entity entering their home. "Gentleman if you would just." Began Dr. Roberts when he was suddenly interrupted by Kota. "I'm sorry sir but we can't you know we can't." Said Kota as he looked at the headmaster pleadingly they all did but mostly in anger. "If you all had given me a moment and trust what I say I shall shed light on this. Please know I did this with you all in mind, so before you raise your voices at me again in my office I highly suggest you all think again and stop acting like whiny children and look at the file I had prepared for you." Said Dr. Roberts his tone was clipped and filled with slight anger as the others could see his eyes flash and eerie presence of his powers laying on the surface. He had called them on their bullshit and the boys knew it as apologies went around through the room as Doctor Roberts returned back to his cheerful demeanor before handing Owen the file that was on his desk. Slowly opening the file Owen didn't know what to expect as he was still a little shaken up from being yelled at by the headmaster but he certainly didn't expect to see something that shook him to very core and made his heart beat erratically bringing life back into him.

Inside was a picture of a girl who looked around sixteen with luscious kinky curly hair in shades of brown and black with hints of reddish blonde color, her skin the color of rich smooth caramel that framed her angelic face that could bring men to their knees and deep soulful brown eyes that you could get lost in their depths. It was her. She was right here in the palm of his hands and Owen Blackbourne nearly crumpled to his knees as he held the picture shockingly tears threatening to spill from his eyes. The others looked at their brother worriedly as you could hear one of the voices on the phone of there other brothers asking what was going on. "Oy! Mr. B! What the actual fuck is in this shit!" Yelled Gabriel as he took the file from Owen's hand and brought it over so the rest could see it as they all looked frozen as they looked at the picture before them even the Tomas were silent on the line as they stared at the picture of there once lost love. Nobody moved or seemed to breathe before Dr. Roberts spoke the boys hanging on to his every word. "Her name is Ember Sorenson, she is still somewhat new to her abilities and is very fragile so go slow.I trust you all will be able to help in her abilities." Said Dr. Roberts as he looked at his boys worriedly as he waited for the question he hated to hear from them. Victor was the one who asked his voice held both fear and pain as he voiced the question his brothers were thinking but couldn't say. "What about her memory?"

"I'm sorry to say that she hasn't recovered any of her memory, there were no familiarity in her at seeing me , but I'm hoping with time she will return to us." Even though he said those words his heart still broke at the same time his eyes filling with unshed tears ready to burst as he gave his boys a hopeful smile knowing that they would bring her back. " We' ll be there in less than ten minutes meet us at the house." Said Axel his voice full of conviction before hanging up the phone the last sound on the line was the squealing of tires. The Blackbourne team began to set out in motion towards there home; the school hallways full of student and teachers alike scurried out the way of their path their eyes unreadable as the lights and doors rattle from the power radiating off of them. They ignored it all their only thought was of her, like a driving motivation as they began to use their enhanced speed to get to their home in seconds as they  searched every room in the mansion every corner was turned but no luck as the frustration was high in the air as North shouted nearly puncturing the wall beside him. "Where the hell is baby?!" there need to see her after so long had grown too much as the need for her had grown now more than ever. "She couldn't have gotten far Aggle Mou is close I can feel it." Said Silas as they all wracked their brains to find there missing goddess. That's when they heard it, so carefree and innocent the sweet sound of giggling. To them it was more like a siren calling as they followed the sound out of the house and into the greenhouse as they gazed at the beautiful creature before them.
