Bea is glad to see Laurence happy with his new siblings and with an additional that his mother is pregnant. Not just that but also, Uncle Owen's fiancée is also pregnant, and their family is growing more and more. But it just sucked that she needed to watch the couples make out from other corners away from their Aunts and Uncles and Parents.
What else she could do but to just looked away from those couples who are sucking faces? Then, her best friend is busy with a girl named Esme. She's a cute girl and although with an age gap, Kale might've liked her too much. But who knows he'll fall in love too?
She took a cold bottle of champagne that she sneaked out a while ago and started drinking from the mouth of the bottle as she sat on the swing under the treehouse.
She sighed as she took a step backward while sitting on the swing and let go and she started swinging. She felt a little dizzy because of the champagne that she's drinking. But she kept on swinging and then she finished her champagne. She leaned on the chains of the swing and looked up the sky.
"Why are there so many stars?" She mumbled. "Or I am seeing double?" She stopped the swing and she sat up and take a step. She nearly stumbles. "Ops." She mumbled. She stood straight and pointed out the direction where she should walk.
She started walking but she's walking in zigzag. How did a bottle of champagne make her dizzy easily? She fell on the grass and suddenly, she felt an arm wrapped around her and pulled her from the grass.
She opened her eyes and stared at the man who is carrying her.
"Why are you here?" She asked and she wanted to push him. She smacked his chest he bent down and pressed his lips to her forehead. She smacked him again. "Put me down!" She hissed at him.
"I'm sorry, Lady Bea. But I have to at least bring you to your room."
Bea kept quiet and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He pulled her closer and stared at her face for a while.
Bea is half-conscious as she heard that Noah spoke to her father and Fin escorted them to her room. Noah gently put her down on the bed and removed her shoes. Then, he covered he cover the duvet over her body.
"Sir, I'll be going."
"I want you to escort my children to the Academy. Be their guard. I'll take care of Allen since he's still in Elite Academy. Thunder, Flash, and Sophia and Bea are only needed to be protected."
"Yes, sir."
Bea opened her eyes and watched Noah leave. Fin turned to her.
"Why is he here?" Now, she already felt sober. She sat up and glared at her father.
"He'll be your bodyguard and your siblings. He will protect you."
Bea sighed and bit her lip.
"Dad, you know what would happen if he kept close to us." She told him feeling suddenly tired.
"Bea, I am doing this for your safety and your siblings." Fin said calmly.
"We can find another bodyguard."
"Noah is the greatest student. He might not be as strong and as fast as Zendaya. He might not be as the greatest agent, but he will protect you and your siblings."
"What about his family?"
"The Empire will deal with that." Fin turned back from her.
"Dad, don't you even know how I felt about it?" Bea folded her knees and hugged it.
Fin turned back to her and sat beside her. He gently strokes her hair.
"Bea, I know what you felt toward him. You love him and that's why you keep your distance from him. We will counter every vision you have. He will be safe."
"He will not be safe. Dad, it will keep happening differently."
Fin sighed.
"Sweetheart, you need to face it. You aren't a coward."
Bea frowned at him.
"Go to sleep, you need to wake up early for tomorrow."
"Dad," She pouted at him. He looked away. He doesn't want to get under her spell to do what she asked for. Just like her mother.
"No." He shook his head. "You also need to get ready for your upcoming project. We can't delay anything because of the threat." He kissed her forehead.
"Damn it." She mumbled.
"Go to sleep, now."

Laurence watched as Aria packed up her laptop to go to sleep since they need to go back to the Empire Academy early in the morning.
"Aria," he called.
"Hmm?"
"Who's your boyfriend?" he asked out of the blue. Aria creased her brow and glared at him.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing." He shrugged. "I heard from the twins that you were going to make out with some boy, and he will dump you or something." He mumbled.
Aria rolled her eyes and shook her head. She took her equipment and he punched his chest. He groaned in pain and hold it.
"Ow! That damn hurts." He chuckled. "Aria, I am not joking!"
"Fuck off!" She said aloud and she went upstairs.
"What was that?" Asher asked him. Laurence only shook his head.
"I just told her what I heard from the twins." Laurence shrugged his shoulder. "Maybe it's just a bluff." He sipped on his wine and relaxed on the sofa. He looked at Kale and Esme who are busy in the grand piano. He shook his head. Kale is already making a move to a twelve years old girl. That's completely child abuse. Kale is twenty and eight years older than Esme.
"This old man is something," Laurence mumbled and the twins sat down with him on the long sofa.
The twins sighed as they watch Kale and Esme play the piano as Kale taught her few songs from classic.
"I wish to have a girlfriend. Kale already has one." Rhys said as they watch the two smiling at each other while playing the piano. Laurence laughed so loud and the twins glared at him. The twins smacked him.
"What?" He covered his chest. First, Aria punched him on his chest and now the twins smacked his chest. "Why do you guys kept hitting my chest?"
"That's because yours are bigger than the females that we met."
"What?" Laurence shuddered from the twins and he put away his wine glass and stood.
"I think it felt soft," Rhys said and looked at his twin brother. Raiden nodded.
"It's not soft, idiots!" He hissed at them. The twins stood and he ran off and hide behind Zendaya and Timothy. The twins are grinning like maniacs.
"What the hell?" Zendaya creased her brows.
"Zen, you have to agree to it. Laurence has the biggest boobs than yours." Rhys and Raiden said at the same time. Zendaya looked down at her chest then to Laurence's massive chest.
She rolled her eyes. For Laurence, he's completely fit and hourglass muscular body that man would have. He had broad shoulder and chest and that's because he's a Pattinson.
"Yeah." Zendaya shook her head. Timothy laughed and kept his arm around her waist. "Go and rape him," Zendaya smirked.
"Zendaya!" Laurence scolded her. The twins take a different direction to corner Laurence. Laurence jumped on the sofa and runoff.
"Hey! Boys!" Dmitri called out. "Stop messing around."
Laurence hides behind Dmitri.
"Uncle help me, please. They are harassing me." Laurence mumbled. "Uncle Steven! Your twins are gays!" he said aloud, and Steven stopped from talking to Stanley and he faced the twins with a grim face.
"Rhys, Raiden, you go check your sisters and go to bed, right now." Steven scolded.
"Dad, we aren't gays." The two said at the same time. "We are just messing around." They grinned.
"Find your sisters and go to sleep," Steven ordered. They both salutes and then they approached their mother to kiss her.
Laurence sighed and looked at Percy who laughed at him.
"What?"
"Don't stop doing your push-ups. Those twins envy your chest." Percy told. Laurence frowned and covered his chest like a girl would do and went to the stairs. "Hep! Take your sister to her room."
He sighed. Esme stood and took her purse. She followed Laurence upstairs.
"We need to wake up early to get ready for school. It's good that our house is just near the Dragon Mansion." He yawned. They went to the west wing of the mansion and where their rooms are. He opened the door with her name on it and told her to get in.
Then he went just across the room where his room was located. Esme looked at him.
"Good night, Laurence," Esme said softly. Laurence smiled at her and approached her.
"Good night, baby sister." He kissed her forehead and he went into his room.
He started stripping and he removed his shoes. When someone knocked on the door. Then, Kale opened it. He entered his room and he continued stripping his clothes.
"Hey! So, I like your sister very much." Kale said with a grin. Laurence frowned at him. "I am not going to court her or something. What I mean is, she's a genius and she could get along with us."
"I know that."
"She should learn more about her talent. It will be such a waste. She also had a beautiful voice when we are composing a song." Kale told. Laurence nodded. Kale scanned his body.
Laurence crossed his arms over his chest.
