"You must have lost your minds coming here; facing me from all people!" Will yelled at the two facing him.

"Look, William, I know we had our ups and downs but right now we all need to ally. We all have to save what we love." Adam said pointing at Jonan.

"Don't you dare drag her into this you asshole!" Will said as he dashed in Adam's way.

"No fights, not now guys; save it to the battle." Sam said as he stood between the two of them.

"How dare you, come ask me for help? I'd rather watch you burn than help you. If you were on fire, trust me you'd find the lighter and gazoline hidden in my jeep!" Will yelled at Adam.

"Dad they are right. Everything we know will be vanished Jonan said trying to calm her father down.

His muscles relaxed as he took a step away from Adam still glaring at him.

"Your sister is in Heaven." Sam began.

At that Will snapped at the two eyeing them. Adam flinched but Sam stood his ground.

"What did you just say? My sister is where?"

"What you had just heard. She is up in Heaven. Bruce had been training her to commit suicide and save Casus from us bad boys." Sam said with a smirk.

"Well too bad for you, at the moment I'm the bad boys’ worse nightmare." Will smiled at the two an evil one.

"And I don't care where she is. What she does doesn't concern me anymore. Right now she's dead to me." Will's voice was cold as he walked away from the three.

"What dad? Are you mad? That's Alex we're talking about, your sister." Jonan yelled after him. "Just one sec guys." She told the two men ahead of her and each nodded.

"Dad wait up!" She sprinted to catch up.

"Rachel is right, Alex is a big girl. She should take responsibility to what she has done. Jonan I love Alex believe me I do! My heart aches for my sister. I miss the tome we spent together. But my sister would have never abandoned me like Alex! She'd never do that..." Will broke down.

For the first time in weeks now, this was the first time he broke down to tears and fell to his knees. Jonan's heart broke when she saw her father like that.

"But she's alive dad." Jonan whispered as she kneed down beside him. "That's what counts!" She now hugged him.

"How could she do this? Doesn't she know I'd never forgive her for this! Doesn't she know?" Will now wiped his tears and looked into his daughter's eyes. "I'll be fine baby girl." He said as he removed a stray hair from her face.

"Promise me?" Jonan asked pleadingly. "Promise you'd see her and forgive her."

"I can't Jonan. Not now at least." He said as he stood up raising his hand to help Jonan.

She took his hand in hers and stood up.

"Now we have to focus on getting back your mom. And I know the perfect men to help." He said smirking as he looked at Sam and Adam.

"Interesting, and what was your song?" Jonan said nodding.

"Sweetheart, we didn't meet in the 21st century, we met during the 1100s. They didn't have your kind of music back then." Will said that eying his daughter.

"Then how did you meet?" She asked as the two walked back to the two men ahead.

"Well there were on the street a couple of kids playing the guitar for money. Your mother than stepped in carrying her violin and played it in such a sweet way. It was harmony to my ears. I couldn't help but stop to watch her play the song. She was so mesmerizing in her white dress. Her long hair was braided to her left side. It was glowing under the sunlight. It was such a beautiful thing to watch. She caught me staring intently at her and smiled sheepishly. I couldn't help but smile back to her."
