-A

Aislinn and her parents along with their bodyguards close by walked into a dark office. The full moon shining through the windows made a silhouette of a person sitting in a chair in the middle of the room. Aislinn's parents walked around her and stood on the other side of the chair and motioned the guards to turn on the lights. When the lights turn on, Aislinn immediately recognizes who is in the chair..

"Natalia!"

She covers her mouth in shock as she sees her gagged, her head drooped down and the side of her head bleeding. She looks at her parents angrily and yells,

"What did you do to her?!"

Her father looks at her and smiles,

"I just figured that a pest needed to be exterminated. She was lurking where she wasn't supposed to be.. I gather she was a part of a plan to get to us?"

Aislinn looks at her father angrily,

"She's not a pest. Maybe that's for me to know and you to find out."

Mr. Windsor looks at her and snarls. He motions the guards to take her and Natalia away to a disclosed location where no one will find them. Aislinn fights the guards and manages to attack her father by scratching his face from under his eye down his cheek leaving a mark. He pushes her back and the guards grab her and take her away.

Aislinn screamed at her father and glared at her mother,

"You are both a monster! WHY.. Why do this to me? What did I ever do to you?!"

Aislinn's father stopped the guards and Aislinn stopped fighting. He walks over to her and says,

"..Because you exist. You have ruined every plan I had. Then you decide to team up with your aunt. Stealing every power I had and I couldn't have that."

Aislinn stares at her father empty and heartbroken. She couldn't believe that her father and mother didn't truly want her. She thought back to the couple that saved her from that horrid man. They showed the kind affection a parent is supposed to show. Not this. Aislinn holds back tears and stands strong against her father.

She smiles and looks up at her father with such determination. Something changed in her and she embraced it.

"It was worth every minute taking the power from you. I hope you lose it all because your time of holding such a power is coming to end."

Aislinn looks at her father and notices his eyes changing from evil to pure fear. He quickly changes his mood and grunts and motions the guards to take her and Natalia away. She looks at Natalia and notices she is coming to. She sighs a breath of relief. As the guards drag them out of the office and into the hallway. She notices a pair of steel grey eyes staring at her and notices they are hiding behind the corner of the hallway. He motions her to stay quiet. As she goes farther down the hall. She sees her parents appearing and going back to the party. She sees Finn disappear, and after they disappear down the stairs, Finn and Latisha come up behind the guards and puts them in a swift headlock putting them to sleep. They lay the guards down and immediately tend to Aislinn and Natalia. Finn immediately hugs Aislinn and lets go to kiss her forehead. Latisha bends down to check on Natalia and checks her head wound. Latisha sighs a relief as she sees the wound isn't as deep as she thought. Natalia winces as she feels Latisha's checking it. Natalia chuckles, and everyone looks at her with puzzled expressions. She pulls out a flash drive out of her boot.

"Man, I am getting pretty good at this. I am very curious to see what all is on this flash drive".

Finn and Latisha look at the flash drive. Latisha grabs it and looks at it then looks at Finn and then Aislinn.

"I have a good feeling that Natalia pulled some very interesting documents. Aislinn, are you sure you are wanting to go through this?"

Finn hugs her to his side tightly and she looks at Latisha,

"Yes.. Yes I am. It's time to see them powerless."

Finn looks at the ladies and says,

"Well, ladies.. Shall we ditch the party and go to the hotel? Because this party blows.. So much for a fun night.."

All the ladies laughed and agreed. They headed out another entrance to the limo without the Windsors seeing them and go towards IRE to discover what is on the flash drive.
