The Last Embrace Chapter 231

The last blood transfusion on that night ended, Jessy went rushing down from the bed and bid goodbye to the doctor. "Goodnight, Doc! I will go to my parents' room because we are going to have a family bonding tonight, we're going to watch horror movies!" she said grinning.
The doctor chuckled in amusement. "You're going to watch horror movies with your vampire, Dad—? Good luck and enjoy!"
Jessy scratches her head, she understood what the doctor is trying to mean with his words. "Lol, you got a point, maybe we will just watch a comedy movie instead," she finally said.
"Okay, have fun!" the doctor said. "See you tomorrow!"
"See yeah and good night, Doc!"
She walked towards the door and waved her hand at the physician then exited the clinic in a hurry.
She went to her room first and grabs her laptop and adapter charger.
Then she sauntered to her parents' room, when she entered the room she saw her mother but her father has not arrived yet. She went to the bed and power on her laptop, she had downloaded about a hundred movies on her laptop when she was still living in the mansion with Adam.
"Where is Dad, Mom?" she asked while browsing on the movie titles on the screen.
"He will be here anytime soon," Sarah answered and looked over her shoulder at her daughter while preparing the potato chips in a plastic platter and placing the bottled soda in the table.
"So, what movie do you like to watch, Mom?" she asked in a high-spirited voice.
"Any kind," Sarah replied.
"You like comedy? Sci-fi? Suspense or how about horror movies?" Jessy asked. "Or vampire movies?" she joked and grinned from ear to ear.
Sarah laughed. "Let's wait for your Father's arrival, I can watch pretty much anything," she stated.

"Okay," Jessy lies on the bed and began munching on the potato chips, she looked at her mother. "Mom, why you and Father no longer bear another child?" she asked.
Sarah sighed. "Of course we wanted to, but with our situation here in the Facility, it's pretty dangerous to raise a child here. This place is not suitable for babies because the danger can happen anytime, there is no permanent peace here only permanent uncertainty. Maybe after we can go back to the mansion, your father and I can start making another baby," she said, a smile curled up in her lips.
"I love that! I want to see a cute chubby baby sibling!" she squealed in glee. "Mom, you have to give me a baby sister and baby brother very soon!" she demanded.
Sarah laughed. "Child, you talked like its easy to make babies, it's not gonna happen very soon. Your father and I already talk about that issue, no baby, as long we are both working here in the Facility. It's a risk that we can't afford to take. If worse come to worst and the Facility is attacked by the enemies, it would be easy to save ourselves and not be constantly worried about the baby's safety," she explained.
Jessy nodded her head in agreement. She wouldn't be able to focus on fighting against the enemy if she kept thinking about the safety of her baby sister or baby brother. "I guess, you have a valid point, Mom," she understood very well the risk involved.
She shifted her attention back to the movie titles and play an old sci-fi movie on her laptop.
Thirty minutes later, the door opened.
Hector was surprised to see his daughter inside the room but happy nonetheless.
"Hi, Dad!" Jessy greeted her father buoyantly.

"What is my superhero daughter doing inside my room?" Hector asked jokingly, he planted a quick kiss on his daughter's forehead.
Jessy grinned looking at her mother.
"She was pestering me for a baby sister or baby brother," Sarah said to her husband.
Hector smiled. "You have to wait for that after a few years, daughter," he said.
Jessy nods her head. "No problem, Dad, I can wait," she responded. "I'm here to bond with you guys, we seldom have a family bonding session. We should do it once in a while!" she declared. "Today we are going to watch a movie!" she exclaimed.
Sarah and Hector looked at each other sporting a smile on their faces.
"Sure thing, daughter, so what movie do you want us to watch today?" Hector asked.
"Let's watch a sci-fi movie titled Intergalactic Exploration! It's a cool movie set in the galaxy beyond our space!" Jessy exclaimed.
After Hector changed into clean clothes, they settled comfortably in the bed. Jessy and her mother Sarah began munching on the potato chips, while Hector was already engrossed in the movie.
Jessy paused the movie all of a sudden. "Dad, can I go to space? I'm just wondering with the power I had, is it possible for me to just fly right into space and explore everything outside the earth's surface? I wanna go beyond as far as my power can take me!" she muses with sparkling eyes.
Hector looked at his daughter. "Jessy, we don't know the full extent of your power, don't be so overconfident and aggressive, don't break out into space, just stay here inside the earth. you might encounter unforeseen catastrophe out there and we can't help you. Promise me, stay in your comfort zone, okay? Stop experimenting with anything and everything! You understand me, child?"
Jessy glanced at her father's serious face, he was speaking with hardness in his voice. "Yes, Dad! I promise I won't go beyond the space. I will just stay here on earth," she made an oath in front of her father.
"Good!" Hector said. He was a bit bothered that his daughter is free-spirited and adventurous. Even though he knows that she is more than capable of protecting herself but even superheroes in movies can make grave mistakes sometimes. Humans are prone to mistake and his daughter is also a human being!
"So— I heard you were in a mission in rescuing the mortals the other day, so how did it go?" Hector was curious about his daughter's escapades.
"Our rescue mission is successful...but we were not able to find the leader of the savages. It baffles me that he was not among the dead bodies of the enemies the king and his men killed. He can't be found anywhere near the cave," Jessy explained.
"I think he had escaped," Hector took a wild guess.
"Dad, is he going to initiate revenge on us?" Jessy asked.
"Yes, that can be expected, you guys wiped out his entire clan inside that cave, therefore, after he found out about the massacre he will be seething with anger and planning on a revenge, but if he is the only one left alive then it will be hard for him to face us on his own, we should be able to outnumber him if he will attempt to launch an attack on us," Hector explained.
Jessy pondered about her father's words.
She knew the leader is still out there somewhere.
Little did she know, their path will cross again one day.

MeiQ: Lore of the Labyrinth
Omaros City lays near one of several Yggdrasil trees that are scattered around the world. Each tree holds an entire labyrinthine ecosystem within or beneath it, yet the mysteries of their origins and what lays in their depths are only ever unraveled by the most skilled and courageous of explorers. Exploration of Omaros' Yggdrasil labyrinth is still in its fledgling stages, drawing in many with the allure of fame and glory that has yet to be claimed. Enter the harbinger Dubhan—cheerful, determined, and not terribly skilled at thinking ahead—and warlock Allouet— intelligent and resourceful, but desperately in over his head. Together, the two of them have half an idea of what they're doing at best, but that's not going to stop them from aiming for the labyrinth's unknown depths. MeiQ is, at its core, a fanfiction inspired by the Etrian Odyssey franchise, alternatively known as Sekaiju no Meikyuu in Japan. Despite that, it is written with the intent to be enjoyable by those unfamiliar with the series as well. The characters and the city of Omaros are original, while the story draws upon lore and recurring concepts from the game series. However, Etrian Odyssey is known for its lore being sparse and open to speculation, so much of the details provided in this story are exactly that—a fan’s speculation and personal expansion of the lore. This story was also inspired by and written as part of HereBeTreasure's Fast Food Frontpage Competition, enjoy some simple dungeon exploration plot and whatever else pops up from this.
