Chapter 48

When Lucien left the main chamber, He returned to Salazar's study and took the body for himself. Lucien knew Nokby would love to run some test on him

Lucien collected what he thought would fetch a pretty penny, from Salazar's room. and personally kept Salazar's cane with him. because he discovered something very odd.

Salazar's wand was in the cane, history said that the wand was passed down in the family and was then destroyed in America. which means that wand wasn't Salazar's or for some reason he had bought or created a new wand. which would make sense considering the power he wielded as a sorcerer at the 10th baptism. the upper levels compared to the lower were like heaven and earth. the upper levels were no longer arbitrary.

Lucien would have died by Salazar's hand if it wasn't for the desiccation spell and the fact the Salazar wasn't especially skilled at wandless magic.

When Lucien walked out of the cave, the sun was shining and he could hear the students at Hogwarts, Laughing and talking without a care in the world, there was a cool breeze that blew through his thick hair.

It didn't take long this to cross the black lake because he was faster now after his 3rd baptism. Once he was on the other side of like Lucien morphed into a black lion with golden eyes and ran through the forest. He ran for an hour and a half until he reached the edge of the barrier.

"damn I should really learn apparition." Lucien exhaled " Padkey"

*Pop* "Master Lucien, Thank god. Mistress mama Thea is furious. You've been gone for weeks and she keeps raging about Lady Abby and the young Mistress on the way." Padkey explain

"Shit, The blessing...It is alright it shouldn't take me more than 5 minutes, did Abby have the baby yet?" Lucien asked

"No, Sir. She is currently in the Hospital. The child should be born any day now. All the ladies of the house have gone to Mystic Falls to prepare and are awaiting your arrival" said Padkey

"Okay take me back" Lucien ordered

Lucien and Padkey appeared at the Dubois Manor, While Padkey was packing Lucien's bags. Lucien went to check on his friends. He informed them that Basilisk was dead and advised them to return to school after they got rid of their golems. Because he had no idea when he would be back.

Before everyone left Lucien pulled Katie to the side

"Katie cakes.." Lucien said with a teasing smile

She smiled back "Why does it sound less embarrassing when you call me that"

"Because Jannabell isn't me, Can you do me a favor?" Lucien asked

"Anything.." She stepped closer to Lucien and lowered his voice to a low whisper

"Ahh, you've been training your senses… I want you to watch Ginevra Weasley for me. She has a very dangerous book. And you are to never touch her, Katie, do you understand me?" Lucien said a tone lower than a whisper, He didn't want anyone else to hear their conversation

"Of course, Lucien" Katie replied

"And keep an eye on that Potter, Never touch him either. And don't pick up any strange books. Now get out of here, this is how rumors start and I'll hate to see a jealous Navarra" Said Lucien

"heeh, screw Navarra, she's wildly overzealous, besides I was here first." Katie stepped closer taking in Lucien's scent

"I Know, you should tell her that…On your way back to Hogwarts" Lucien took a few steps back. "I'll write to you when I'm free"

Mystic Falls, Virginia.

It was January 31st and all the Bennetts had rolled into town, with no restraint. Mama Thea pulled the Duchess card and bought out the hotel, Zhura naturally found the bar with Lucy and taught Nokby how to drink. The rest of the ladies started to roll in and turned the local bar into a night club.

It was completely understandable since they've been cooped up in the manor for months, training for 'war'.

Pauline, Sheila, Joanna, and Mama Thea spent the night drinking bottles of wine at Sheila's house reminiscing about the old days and getting wasted. Talking about how old they've become

"Old, But not obsolete." Said mama Thea

"And no matter how old we get, It looks like Little Lucien doesn't plan on letting us die anytime soon".Added Pauline

"haha you got that right, He thinks we don't know. But we planning giving control back to the Bennetts. I can feel it" Joanna said

Sheila drank the rest of the wine and glass and looked at the ladies

"Abby saw it. That baby in her is a seer. She said that Lucien in that baby of hers is going to shake the world to its core" She poured herself another drink and said " There's a change coming it is about time we put all that ' we old' bullshit behind us. Because we can't let anyone take them kids from us."

The elders fell into a drunken sleep and the young Bennett ladies somehow managed to through a party in the hotel.

The next morning Lucien arrived in mystic falls and his first stop was mystic falls general. He wanted to see Abby. And check up on the baby that had yet to come.

'Excuse me, ma'am, Can I know what room Abby Bennett is in?" Lucien asked

"And you are?" The nurse asked

"Lucien Bennett- Dubois. I'm Abby's little cousin" Lucien said with a smile

Although he was 12 he only looked around 14. So naturally, he had to play the role

"Oh my your Abby's cousin, She said you and her family would be coming down. Come on you can follow me, I'm going to her room now" Said young beautiful woman with brown hair and green eyes.

"Thank you, Ma'am, I'm Lucien by the way" He introduced himself

"Hi, Nice to meet you. I'm Miranda Gilbert and this my little sister Jenna"

Next to Miranda was a small blonde haired girl with Hazel eyes. She waved and Lucien waved back, as they all walked to Abby's room together.

In the room Abby was laying up in the bad, She was super pregnant.

"Ahh, Miranda! Thank you so much for coming I was dying for some of your Lemon meringue pie" Abby reached to grab the pie brought for her but Lucien grabbed it

"I want a piece I'm starving. and I haven't had Lemon meringue pie in hella long" Said Lucien

"hahaha How about you come over and I'll make you just for you," Miranda said

Lucien looked back in a snap "Really?"

"Yes, Jenna loves them so whipping you one up is easy work. its like second nature now" Miranda ȧssured him

Lucien handed the Pie to Abby and the put his hand on Abby's stomach and the baby gave a little kick. Lucien closed his eyes to sense her little fast paced heartbeat. and the magic that flowed through her veins

"wow, she's a healthy Bennett" Lucien looked at Abby and she leaned her head to the side in return and said " I know, trust me"

'Why don't you go to Miranda's and when you have finished the rest of the family should be ready,' Abby added
