"Good! I'll see what can I do..." Graven said.
"Will I go to see them? To convince them to stay with me here?" Laura asked.
"No. You will stay here, I'll be the one to bring them here through the teleportation process. I'm planning to bring your father here first so that you can talk about the new arrangement with him. If he agrees to your suggestion, then it will be easier to bring your sister and mother here as well," he said.
"Okay, I agree with all your plans. When can I see my father?" she asked excitedly.
"As soon as possible, tomorrow perhaps. We have to get them here before the vampire couple found them!" Graven replied.
Laura's eyes sparkled due to happiness. "Thank you, husband, for your concern about my family's safety! I appreciated it very much!"
"Don't mention it. I know that you won't be able to rest your mind in peace if you keep thinking about your family. So the best thing to do is bring them all here so that you can see them every day," he explained.
"Yeah... I don't want the time to come that the vampire couple will use and harm my family to get me. I can't bear it if something bad happens to my family," Laura said in a petrified voice.
Graven rubbed his wife's back to comfort her. "Shhh... don't worry much... you and your family will be fine here," he assured her.
"I can only rest my mind in peace if they're already here with me," she told him.
"I know, that is why tomorrow... I'll go there myself," he said.
"Really-? You will do it?"
"Yeah... I'll bring your father here!" he responded.
"Thank you so much!" Laura kissed her husband's cheek due to gladness.
Graven responded and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Laura began yawning and covered her mouth with her hands. "I feel sleepy," she said.
"Alright, take a nap. I'll stay here by your side watching over you," he said lovingly.
"Okay," Laura murmured and closed her eyes to sleep.
A few minutes later.
Laura was already snoring softly in her husband's arms.
Graven smiled, looking at his wife's face fondly. He settled her into the bed comfortably.
He stood up and walked towards the window. He stared outside... wondering what is Terros current progress as of this moment?
He can't disturb the old man because what he's doing right now is a complicated process and he doesn't want to be the cause of the delay. He might as well joined his wife in slumber. He went back to bed and lie down, then closes his eyes to sleep.
Hours went by.
It was already 5:30 in the afternoon when Terros was done creating the invisible barrier around the manor and the entire property. It was the most comprehensive and massive protective barrier that he had made in his entire life so far and he was tired and exhausted beyond he can ever imagine.
He managed to reach the study room and quickly curled up on the couch for a much-needed rest, his eyes shut down instantly to recuperate and restore his depleted energy.
Half an hour passed by.
The couple has finally awakened in the master's bedroom.
Graven looked at the window, darkness was enveloping the surrounding.
Nighttime is coming.
He left the bed and switch on the light. He looked at his wife. "I'll go outside to find Grandpa," he said.
"Okay," Laura replied.
Graven exited the master's bedroom and went to find the old man around the house.
He searched everywhere and found Terros inside the study room, he's curled up on the couch, sleeping soundly.
He was about to wake up the old man but decided against it at the last minute because Terros looks tired. He left the study room and went to back his wife in the master's bedroom. He found her still lying on the bed.
"Where is Grandpa?" she asked.
"I found him curdled up on the couch sleeping soundly," he answered.
"He must be really tired after creating the invisible barrier," she commented.
Graven nods his head. "Yeah, it's not easy making a formidable formation such as the one he envisioned in his mind for this place. It's complex, massive, and powerful. It's also mentally and physically draining for such an old man to do such a thing," he explained.
"Poor Grandpa!" Laura murmured. She rose to her feet. "I'll go to the kitchen to see how's the cook's progress when it comes to the food preparation," she said.
Graven stood up. "Okay, I'll also go back to the study room to check on Grandpa."
The couple exited the bedroom going to different places.
Graven entered the study room and saw Terros still sleeping soundly on the couch. He went to his desk and sit down. He looked at the window as darkness completely occupies the space outside.
He glanced at the wall clock, it's already 6:00 in the evening.
He was thinking of her suggestion to his wife earlier.
When he suggested to Laura that her parents need to be with her, he knew that she is the only one who can protect her family. As long she is with them, the people who are after her will hesitate to hurt her family.
A half-hour later.
Graven rose to his feet, since the old man has not awakened yet, he and Laura will eat dinner first.
He exited the study room, went downstairs, and proceeds to the dining room. He found Laura and the cook arranging the dishes on the table.
The cook left the dining room.
Laura looked at her husband. "Grandpa is not awake yet?" she asked.
