    Unedited.

Third Person POV

"Can somebody please explain what's going on to me?" Giuseppe asked his parents. "I mean I just met Müller few days ago and he said he was only supposed to make someone believe he turned his back on mom. He never mentioned anything about forging Ela's death." He added, confusion clouding both his tone and expression.

"That's your problem, son! You get a small piece of information and you think you figured the whole thing out, if you continue using your brain this little you'll never be able to avenge your late sister." Emma reprimand.

"What is that supposed to mean? And how did you know of my sister? Did you get your memories back?" Emma just increased her son's confusion some more.

"Meaning, just because you figured I was the one behind Gisela's disappearance and that I was the cloaked person who visited her every night doesn't mean you got the whole thing figured out." She told him. "And no, I did not get my memories back. Müller filled me in on everything I need to know from my past." She added.

"So what's this plan of yours? And why do I have to be cautious?" Giuseppe asked his mom.

"I want to penetrate the enemy zone, deep enough to rip the heart of their organisation out, once and for all. That's why you have to be cautious from now on, they may not think I form any kind of danger on them as of yet, but once they found out and I'm pretty sure that will be very soon, they'll want a leverage on me. One so strong that may bring me to my knees before them. Adam is untouchable which leaves only you and your sister to use as one." She explained.

"That's why you forged Gisela's death." Adam concluded.

"Yeah, a dead person is of no use, but you, my son, you are now capable of protecting yourself and helping your father protecting your sister. Sam will tell you when the right time to wake the Crawlers comes. I know they were only dormant to public, it's time you bring the name 'the Crawlers' back to the spotlights." She told him.

"But you said I am only to show myself once I'm ready?" Giuseppe questioned.

"And you think you aren't?" She raised one of her eyebrows challengingly at him. "Müller said you've spent five years training both physically and mentally for this day."

"I did, I just-"

"I trusted your Onkel's judgement when he said you exceeded expectations in the past five years, I bet he will be greatly disappointed when he hears you now." She said, the look on her face indicating she was disappointed.

"I am ready, mom, I just didn't think it will be this early." Giuseppe defended.

"Wipe that frightened look off your face, and act like a Knights. I'm not asking you to engage in any of this, I'm just telling you to be ready for any unexpected attacks on you or your sister in case they found out she was alive." She told him. "Your coronation is to take place soon, you better be prepared by then, or someone else will take your place." She said.

"I will." Giuseppe replied, his head is slightly bowed.

Emma knew he wasn't afraid of confrontation nor was he afraid on himself. No, he was afraid of the responsibility she just put on his shoulders, his sister's protection. He was afraid he would fail and something terrible happen to their little one.

However she also knew, sweet encouraging words were not enough to snap him out of whatever state his mind was in, the way she handled things was the only way to get him to act right. His parents and Onkels' opinions about him meant more to the young man than he was letting on, them being disappointed in him is something he would not tolerate.
