Lils, I hope all is well with you," she expressed her concern.
"Isa, we find ourselves entangled in a series of predicaments," came the response, laden with worry.
Chapter 8.1
Bella turned to Lil, concern etched on her face. "Lil, what's the problem?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine worry.
Lil took a deep breath before responding, her voice tinged with a hint of anxiety. "María, Bella," she replied, her eyes darting around the room.
Izzy, always curious, couldn't help but inquire further. "Maria?" she asked, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.
Lily nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Someone told her about Damien, Phoebe, and Prue," she revealed, her words hanging in the air with a sense of urgency.
Izzy, now fully engaged in the conversation, pressed for more information. "Where are you now?" she inquired, her voice filled with genuine concern.
Lily took a moment to compose herself before responding. "I'm just north of Seattle," she revealed, her voice carrying a hint of weariness.
Bella, always one to think ahead, requisitioned Lil for additional details. "Lil, is Cornelius with you?" she asked, her tone laced with a touch of urgency.
Lily nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "Yeah, Cornelius and his wife, Sarah, are just a few miles away from me," she explained, her voice filled with gratitude. "They wanted to make sure I wasn't followed.
Lil, I implore you and your companions to make your way to Forks with utmost haste. Once you arrive, we shall convene and devise a plan to address the impending predicament that has befallen us.
Izzy terminated the call with Lilly Whitlock, her mind filled with a sense of urgency. She couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "For Christ's sake."
Jasper, sensing Izzy's distress, entered the room and inquired, "Izzy, what troubles you?"
Izzy raised her weary eyes and let out a heavy sigh. "Jasper, trouble is on the horizon," she confessed.
Jasper's curiosity piqued as he probed further, "Who is the source of this trouble?"
"It is Maria," Izzy revealed, her voice tinged with concern.
Jasper's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "But why, Izzy?" he questioned.
"For now, the reason remains unclear, J," Izzy admitted, her tone filled with uncertainty.
Jasper pressed for more information, his concern growing. "How long until we have a clearer understanding of the situation, Izzy?"
"It won't be until Lily and Cornelius arrive," Izzy replied, her voice tinged with a hint of anticipation.
"Lily? Cornelius?" Jasper repeated, his curiosity piqued.
"Yes, Lily and Cornelius Whitlock," Izzy confirmed, her mind racing with thoughts of the impending trouble that awaited them.
"It's not possible, Izzy; they're dead, aren't they?" Jasper's voice trembled with a mix of hope and fear.
"No, J, they aren't," Izzy replied, her tone filled with certainty.
Jasper's heart skipped a beat. "I accidentally changed, Lily. And Cornelius... I don't know who changed him, and he didn't either," Izzy explained, her voice tinged with confusion.
A glimmer of hope flickered in Jasper's eyes. "My sister and brother are alive?"
Izzy nodded, a small smile forming on his lips. "Yeah, they are, J."
Relief washed over Jasper."All the others in my family are alive, Izzy."
Izzy's expression turned somber. "I don't know, Jay. The only ones I'm familiar with are Lilly and Cornelius."
Jasper's anticipation grew. "When do they get here?"
Izzy shrugged, her brows furrowing. "I don't know. Lily and Cornelius are covering their tracks right now, so they might be later this evening."
Suddenly, a short boy, around three or four years old, zoomed into the room and tackled Izzy. This small boy had honey blond curls that bounced with each movement, and his bright blue eyes sparkled with mischief.
"Jayden," Belle called out, her voice filled with affection.
"G!" Jayden exclaimed with enthusiasm, his laughter filling the air.
Jayden Salvatore-Whitlock turned his gaze towards Jasper, his eyes lighting up with joy. He flashed a brilliant smile, revealing a set of tiny, pearly white teeth.
"Grandpa J," Jayden said, his voice filled with excitement and love.
Bella's eyes widened in astonishment. "My God! That's Grandpa J," she declared to Jayden, her voice filled with awe and happiness.
