Epilogue

"Luciana. Come on, I told you to get up twenty minutes ago." Luciana heard her mom tell her. Sometimes it sucked being the daughter of Catherine. She had been really good with herbs and healing and stuff, her father. He could get angry sometimes but he was so sweet Luciana couldn't help but just love him so much. He seemed to make sure his eldest daughter was always super safe but not to much to be over protective. He would let her leave on her own, well at least until she turned fifteen. Which she could understand, since he told her about his entire past. For her fourteenth birthday, they had written it all in a book and given it to her. Literally, Luciana has read it a million times. She still can't believe how all of their friends had died. Luciana loved it because it told her all about her grandma and grandpa. It even told her about her uncle, Tanner. He had died before she was even born, from a disease called Pasudornadom. Well he would've died from that but instead it was from a man named Craux.  Luciana of course knew her other uncle that was still alive today, Jay.
"Lucy! Lucy!" Luciana's little five year old sister, Sophia, called from the other room. Luciana giggled at her and threw her covers off of me. She slid into her slippers and grabbed one of her dad's shirts that she had stolen. It was late december, the twenty-fourth to be exact. Christmas Eve. The family always would do something altogether. But this year it was a mystery, nobody had any idea what they were going to do.
"Lucy! Guess what?" Sophia asked hugging her oldest sister's legs.
"What Soph?" Luciana knelt down next to her. She was about to answer but their dad talked before she could.
"Where are your brothers and sisters?" He tapped his fingers on the table. Lucy giggled at his so serious face. You should probably know that Luciana has a twin brother, Conner. Than a younger brother that is 14, his name is Ryan. Oh and you can't forget the other pair of twins. Hayley and Bayley. They are ten. Lucy can remember after they were born her mom did not want any more children. She said she couldn't bare to have anymore twins. But they do run in family's. Guess that's what she gets for choosing Bandit. But then Sophia was a complete surprise but when Catherine knew it was only one. She was totally fine, it helps that Luciana is sixteen and can help everyone out. Conner just kind of messes around with everything but he gets the job done.
"Ryan is probably up in the attic and Conner. I bet you he is still snoozing away. I'll go check." Lucy said running back up the stairs and into Conner's room. She jumped on the bed only to find nobody there. She got up to look around the room. There was nothing, she looked upstairs. There was nobody up there. She looked everywhere in the house but they were nowhere to be seen. She eventually walked back into the kitchen, her mom was sitting in the chair crying while her dad had a piece of paper in his hand. Soph came over and hugged Lucy once again. Luciana knelt down next to her again.
"What's wrong." she asked her, Sophie shrugged and Lucy decided to figure out what. So she stood up and snatched the paper from her dad and started to read, it was written in nice delicate handwriting.


Dear, Mr and Mrs Bankok,


I have taken four of your children.... I know you don't want it. But I must make the next four elements. I know you will never understand how important it is to have these elements but they are very important to the world. Since Jacob doesn't have any children, you are my last resort. I am sorry to take them so abruptly but it was necessary. You guys were good elements but you never had your training. I need to train the elements. I watched my brother grow up training. I just need to find the all great Ezeriah. He can help train your four children to be the saviors of the world and heal us all. Just know they are our only hope to save the world from the old Timers Lucy stopped reading, she could remember in the story mom and dad wrote for her, right before Tanner killed Steve he was talking about some Old Timers. Was this their wrath finally coming out? She decided to continue to look at the letter. But the thing that caught my attention was the signature.
Sincerely, your auntie ~ Ameri


"Mom, dad what does this mean? She has Conner? And Ryan? As well as Hayley and Bayley?" Lucy asked looking around not to see either of her sisters. She placed the paper down on the table.
"Bandit, we have to find Jay. We have to save our children." Her dad nodded, her mom stood and went over to the computer. She was typing a letter and was about to send it when Lucy ran over and pressed the back button.
"You're playing right into her hands. Don't you guys realize that? She wants something more from you. She is Buck's sister, she is unpredictable. You have to play anonymously." Lucy said sitting on the table the computer was on. Her parents looked unconvinced. "Look, I really want Conner back. I wouldn't be who I am today without him. I need to repay him the favor. I want to save him, but you have to think about this. Buck's weak spot was saying to much. You guys used that to your advantage. Find Ameri's and use it." Catherine seemed to like it but her dad didn't.
"You like that book too much. This is completely different Luciana. She has my children, your siblings. It's getting personal and I'm done with it. We have to stop this. Once and for all. Come on Catherine, we are going to save our children. We will pick up Jay on the way there. Luciana, I expect you to stay here and watch Sophia." Then he left, he walked out the door after grabbing his coat. Lucy's mom came over and kissed her forehead and began to speak
"I know this is a lot to take in. Give your dad some time. I will convince him to do the right thing. But please stay here and watch Sophia. I don't want any more of my children to be in danger." She kissed Lucy's head again and then she said goodbye to Sophia before leaving. But she was insane if she and her father thought that Lucy would just sit here waiting for them to save her siblings. She was going to help whether they liked it or not.
