Cathy Cole looked at her most favorite photo she shared with her father. She kissed it before carefully putting it down. She carefully slipped from the Mansion without anything with her. The servants has to think she simply went for a walk.“Sorry daddy but this one time I am going to follow my heart.”The house and garden covered in shadowy darkness.

“Joslin, wait.”She turned, facing him. It felt as though she was on the edge of a cliff, about to be pushed.“We could have our past again. Give it a chance, Joslin. We were happy once. We could have it all again.” He reached for her hand. The wedding rings burned his finger.Joslin disentangled her hand from his. She moved bodily a little further away from him, never questioning her behavior but trusting her instinct.“No, we cannot, David.”She turned away, wanting to go back into the house, but David pulled her back roughly against himself; instant, unconcealed anger turning his face red.“You left me with no explanation. Why, Tessa?” he demanded, with growing aggression. It seems as if he cannot control himself now.“You know why. You gave me the reason. Besides, it was time that we separated anyway.

I am going to approach the mansion now.""Be careful. We don't know what trap she might have set. ""I know. That's one devious woman." Denver looked at the estate across from where he stood.

"Denver; open your eyes." the voice calls beside him. He looked puzzled trying to see who was calling him. It was clear the fool didn't realized his eyes was opened.He tries to get loose from the shackles but it took a moment before he understood his body was in reality motionless."Will you focus." the male voice said behind him."Where are you?" he forced his lips to move."I am behind you.""Why don't you help me?" He asked with growing frustration."I already helped you. This you must do on your own. You don't focus. Look around you.""I am." he said annoyed."No you are not. Look around. You are not tied to that wall.""Danny..." he heard his name.Denver moved his body. He nearly fell flat on his face before he understood he was free with movement.

Denver stood looking at the girl he always thought was the most beautiful girl in the world. He briefly looked at his hand. The throbbing was less intense. He quietly wonders if he had worn the ring earlier; might he was noticed what was really gling on. He knows the girl in front of him will also disappear since he had watch her leave this world."Danny..." Lisa stood looking over the lake. The water was calm."Why did you ask me to come here?

Denver placed his open palm on the palm reader. He watched Raven following him. The twins joined hands placing theirs on the palm reader. The monitors seemed to pulled them into a kind of vortex. They saw each other being pulled into different directions. It was quickly clear tthat no one has a choice. Denver suddenly made his appearance in the house on Rumble's Corner. He found himself standing in front of the door. He knew he just need to step through back into his past. He looked back but the only thing he noticed was the curtains moving from the house just across from his."Why are you just standing there boy?" His father suddenly stood in the now opened door. He looked displeased."I am coming." he looked back. Everything seemed the same but it's not. Taking a deep breath. "Might as well find out what this was all about." he told himself."Where have you been Denver," Daniel Ricardo looked very annoyed. "I am sorry. But why are you angry?""You really dare to ask me that quest
