The Life and Times of Louie Duck - Book 1

Chapter 9 - "Got some backbone, after all. Don't you?" - Soran

Webby was out of breath by the time she got done man handling the beast. It had turned out to be a huge snake, and it seemed to have been guarding the portal to Soran's portal.

She should have known.

That Soran would have had something like this up her sleeve. How is it she is always one step ahead of her?

As it fell to the ground with a loud thud Webby landed on her feet beside Magica.

"Done." She growled.

"Not yet." Magica told her. Webby looked at her and watched as the smoke cleared she saw a small out line of a child.

"L,Luca?" Webby asked, surprised. Magica frowned.

Luca rushed up to her with an urgent look on his face.

"Luca, how? How'd -?" She asked.

"I'm part of the supernatural," He explained. "A clone. This is where I ended up." He looked towards Magica who smirked at him. His eyes widen. "Is that -?"

"Never mind her," Webby interrupted, "why are you here?"

"I, I came to warn you." Luca told her. "I, I just got done with helping Hope out the best I could while in this state, but she'll need you the most once all this is over with." He told her.

"After what's over with?" Webby asked.

"It's F.O.W.L. I, I wanted to warn Hope about them before I, well," He paused and looked down at himself.

Webby stared at him. Luca might be dead but he hadn't lost his will power to help her daughter, it made her feel even more greatful that he and Hope had became friends. It helped that he looked and acted so much like Louie rather then having any other trait from his mother other then the vampire parts.

If Luca had lived. Webby would have been fine with that part. If it meant Hope would have finally had someone to fall back on other then her family.

"What about F.O.W.L?" She asked.

Luca explained to her how they were recruiting the supernatural, to take down her family and take over the world. When he was done Webby looked sharply over at Magica.

"You knew about this didn't you?" She accused.

"I might have heard about it." Magica told her. "Wouldn't surprise me that F.O.W.L would be recruiting us supernatural. Can't handle the job themselves, those -."

"Luca, thanks for telling me." Webby interrupted, still glaring at Magica. "And for looking after my daughter. Now, if that's all I'd like to go save my husband and kids, again." She snarled.

"Wait!" Luca said as Webby took one foot in the portal. She looked back at him. "Please," He begged. "I, I know it's asking a lot, and I'll understand if you say no, but," He paused trying to find the right words to finish what he was about to ask. "S, She already had the baby."

Webby stared at him.

"Vampire birth comes more quickly then any other average birth." Luca told her. "About twenty four hours after -." He stopped, then started again, "I, I know you are going to kill Mom. Just, please, do me a favor and look after my, my," He couldn't finished the sentence.

Webby smiled warmly at him and took her foot out of the portal and walked over to him. She bent down eye level to him. Luca's eyes widen when he felt a jolt of energy run through him. Hope looked so much like her.

"Sure thing, kid." Webby promised. "Because you looked after and befriended my daughter, I will raise the child as my own. For you, and Louie." She added.
