Marivella wondered why Carlene suddenly cried, but her heart strangely feel something she cannot explain what it is, and so, she hugged Carlene .
Tightening her embrace around Madison, she doesn't understand… but every time she holds her, warmth fills into the deepest part of her chest .
"Have you missing someone?" she asked her, guessing the possible reason .
Madison nodded and hugged her back . "I did . I am missing my Mama," she reasons which it was true .
'Yes . I will miss you when I can no longer travel to this time . I will miss your company, Mama… but may I cannot see you as I am growing up, but I know you will be a cool and amazing mother . '
"Thank you," Madison let go of Marivella . "We have to move now . Soon, they will check the room, and they will find out we have escape in the attic," she told Marivella .
"Okay, let's go!"
Carefully, Madison and Marivella make gradual steps on the roof . Marivella looks down below the ground and measures how high they are . She closed her eyes .
"Don't look down," Madison reminded her .
Marivella nodded . Although she is nervous, but a smile playing on her lips . Madison remembered the first time they arrived in this era . Marivella sneaks out through a window from the hospital dormitory to meets Charles in the restaurant, but then; she and Carlisle spent a night together .
Jeez… Madison sighed . She could feel her cheeks flushing . Though she just read it from the book, but she learned of how her parents made her; in a couple of years from now on . . . and that was in Newfound Land or know in the future as Canada .
Ugh . Why now, this what running inside her head? She felt embarrassed . Gladly Quinn cannot read the book, but she wondered if he would feel embarrassed to realize that their daughter have known this .
They resume trailing the ledge of the roof slowly . Carlene brought the curtain with her might they need it . Now she used it as a rope to move down below to the room below them where it has a balcony they could go down easily .
Madison peeps at the window and found the room is empty . She gestured at Marivella that it was safe to come down now . And then they heard gunshots and notice a commotion below .
There are also noises from the attic they came from . It looks like; they found out already that their prisoners had escaped . Two guards came out and began searching for them . Hastily, they stepped inside the room and Madison locked the door, then they hid in the closet . Hearing footsteps and voices outside, one checking out the room .
Marivella covered her mouth and Madison prepared to fight . There is actually a knife tied on her left leg, she kept it all along, but she never uses it in Marivella's presence . But at this moment, her finger is touching the cold handle of the blade, ready to pick up and stab anyone who will open this closet .
Madison holding her breath . There is a commotion outside . Did someone come to save them? She is certain Quinn would come, but she's worried about Levi . He is not good at fighting yet . Besides, the numbers of this guard still many for Quinn and Levi to defeat .
Marivella jolted upon hearing several gunshots somewhere in this villa . She wondered who they fought to… and then more footsteps running outside this room . Finally, the noises subsided, but the door of this room opens and the footsteps walking around then coming closer in the closet .
Madison tightly holds the handle of the knife . When the closet door slowly opens, Madison raises her hand with the knife . Seeing this, Marivella widened her eyes staring at Madison… but she did not make any noises or breath . Preparing to stab whoever that person who opens it, but he catches her pulse .
"Pa—" she almost burst out Papa . But in a moment, she's confused if it is Quinn or Carlisle . If he did not gesture a sign language, she would not confirm if it is Quinn . She rushes to him once she made sure it was her papa from the future .
"Brother!" Madison quickly hugged Quinn . "I began worrying that you will save me, and you will put your life in danger . "
Quinn groans like a slight laugh, patting Madison's back . He glanced at Marivella; she is staring at him confusedly . He could read her reaction, she somewhat felt a similarity between him and Carlisle, which that cannot argue; because his laugh sounds like Carlisle .
They heard another gunshot outside, then a figure entered the room .
"Marivella!"
"Carlisle? What you—" she's very surprised . She did not expect for him to come, but deep down inside her heart, she wished to see him .
Carlisle rushes toward her and hugs her tight . "I was too worried . I am glad you are safe . "
Madison glances at Quinn who watched quietly at the couple . She wonders if what Quinn feeling seeing his past self and the woman he longs to see and want to hold as well . Madison squeezes Quinn's hand, her gesture to comfort him . Quinn looked at her and nodded, squeezing her hand in returned, telling he is fine .
"Carlene!" Two man in disguise showing up in the door .
Charles and Levi called out her name at once . Madison dropped her mouth opened . Wow . She can't tell who is Levi and who is Charles . However, one is walking fast, rushing to her side . "Are you all right?"
She nodded . "Hum . . . am fine, nothing to worry . "
"I'm glad . We as your brothers are too worried about you . " This is Levi, she thought and giggles in silence . He emphasizes the word brother to not look suspicious in front of the people in the past: Charles, Carlisle and Marivella . Levi is hugging her tight almost kissing her .
"Ahem! I am glad you are safe, Mademoiselle," Charles bowed courteously . This time, Levi's mouth who dropped open . He even felt more embarrassed seeing himself like this .
"Thank you, monsieur," Madison politely returned the gesture . She partly bends her knees and bows slightly .
"Please bear the super-polite-me version . I look like a dope," Levi whispered to Madison . She wanted to laugh out loud, but it will create suspicious to her behavior .
"But you look cute doing that," he added .
Dang, Levi! Stop tickling me! She murmurs inside her head . She could feel her cheeks flushing from Levi's comments .
During this wonderful reuniting they all have at the moment, bad news arrived .
"Captain Williams!" Gene Isagawa rushes to the room . "We spotted people headed to this villa . It looks like, there are more soldiers are coming, Captain . "
"Carlisle, what we're going to do now?"
Charles asked him, and every pair of eyes in that room waiting curiously of his decision . He glances at Marivella, she is peering worriedly at him . He has to lead them out safe from here .
