Nikki's eyes reflected a blend of determination and gratitude, spoke softly. "Thank you, Mum. Without your guidance, we wouldn't have come this far."
Florida smiled and responded. "The strength has always been within you. Now, go and face the one who sought to steal it from you."
Nikki and I turned toward the proprietor, our abilities stirring from within as we lurked closer.
"So, the prodigal daughters have come to reclaim their destinies," the proprietor sneered, his arrogance undeterred.
"But do you truly think you can challenge the architect of your fate?" He added.
"You wait, and see!" We echoed and lunged at him, radiating our energy at him. The fight started, the proprietor losing his breath as we fought him, and it was just a step away from cutting off his head when a group of officials came in.
"Enough!!! You are under arrest, Proprietor!!" He said, and he fell on his knees.
The school proprietor was arrested and was chained from behind and taken away while we reunited again as a family.
I couldn't believe that after years of being separated from my sister, we were finally reunited. It felt like a dream come true.
Standing in a small, humble apartment, my sister Nikki by my side, and our mum embracing us tightly, I realized that the past could be forgiven, and the future held so much promise.
We sat there, the three of us, on the worn-out couch, lost in our emotions. There were tears, laughter, and questions that needed answers.
My mother looked at us with eyes filled with regret and sorrow and said. "I am so sorry for everything," she whispered, her voice filled with raw emotion.
"I never wanted to leave you both. Your father and I were scattered by the false prophecy of the proprietor," she continued.
Nikki's voice was filled with determination as she spoke, interrupting the silence that had settled upon us.
"I am sorry for being a tool used by the proprietor. We won't let him get away with this. We won't rest until our dad is free. We need to find a way to take down his pack once and for all."
Suddenly, a figure emerged with flowers in his hands. It was Francis, Nikki's boyfriend. Immediately Nikki saw him, she stood up, her hand cupping her mouth in surprise.
Nikki's eyes sparkled with joy as she rushed to Francis, wrapping her arms around him. The tears flowed freely from her eyes as she whispered, "I remember you, Francis. I remember everything now."
"I can't believe it," I said, wiping away my tears. "We've been fighting so hard to bring back Nikki's memory, and here you are, Francis!"
He hugged Nikki even tighter, his voice filled with relief and love. "I didn't know if it would ever happen, but seeing her remember me, it's the best thing that could have happened. I love you, Nikki."
As we gathered in our little apartment, the weight of our previous discussions seemed slightly lighter. Nikki's memory had returned, and now we had the strength to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Over the next few days, Francis shared with us his surprising secret. As it turned out, he wasn't just Nikki's boyfriend; he was also a talented and well-respected lawyer. We couldn't believe our luck. Not only had we found Nikki's lost love, but he also possessed the skills to help us defend our father in Pack Court.
Sitting around the dining table, the room buzzing with excitement, we listened intently as Francis laid out his plan. He explained the complexity of the case as my father had engaged in the killing of innocent souls for power. However, he provided the evidence that needed to be gathered, and the strategy needed to set our father free from the pack den.
"There is no need to panic. I have spoken to some fellow lawyers who are willing to join the fight. They believe in our case, Nikki. We have a strong chance of winning," Francis spoke, his voice filled with boldness.
"But we need your father's full cooperation. We need him to trust us and share everything he knows about the case. Every detail counts," he added.
Nodding, I squeezed Nikki's hand and spared our mother a glance as a newfound hope blossomed within us.
"Amaya, do you think Dad would be willing to meet with us? We need to convince him that Francis is the best chance we have at making things right," Nikki faced me and asked.
I nodded, my gaze filled with determination. "I am sure he will listen to us, Nikki. He has been waiting for so long for someone to believe in his innocence and trust him," I spoke.
Together, we made our way to the packed court where our father was kept with the school proprietor. We pleaded with our father to trust Francis, to believe in his abilities as a lawyer, and to understand that we were on his side. We promised to do everything in our power to bring him back home.
It was on the day of the trial. We gathered nervously outside the courtroom. Francis had prepared, ready for the defense of my father as he was now fully clad in lawyer attire, and exuded a confidence that gave us strength.
As we took our seats in the packed courtroom, tension swarmed us as our eyes beat around the aura. All eyes were on the defendant's table, where our father sat anxiously. The prosecutor laid out their case, claiming our father was guilty of the crime despite the overwhelming lack of evidence.
But Francis was not one to be affected by such. With his sharp mind and quick thinking, he intelligently shredded the prosecutor's argument, questioning the reality of each point, and presenting evidence that cast doubt on their claims, insisting that the proprietor pushed my father to fight for what belonged to him.
