《She's dead》Chapter 20
Advertisement
Sapphires POV -
It's been 3 weeks since I told my family who I am and about the twins, who I have now officially adopted, and we have all become closer. The older 2 have even been showing more emotions and blaze seems less uptight, probably knowing I can protect myself. The twin finally moved into our house about 2 weeks ago but only started sleeping in their rooms last week. They would sleep with me or one of my brothers, as over the time they've been here, they have bonded loads and they have even started calling me mommy, even tho I could never replace their mother nor could they replace oceana, I love them as my own.
(I have no clue what a 3 year olds room is supposed to look like but here we go)
Me and the twins spend a few nights a week at Enzos house and they even have their own room there. During the day, it's mostly dad who takes care of them while I'm at school as he has less work that the 2 oldest but they help sometimes, as well as when enzo takes me out on a date or missions etc. Overall it's been a great month but I can't shake off the feeling that's something bad is going to happen. It's been like this for a few days but I've ignored it until now. I'm currently laying in bed with Enzo and the twins in his room watching the incredibles, per the twins request when I got a phone call from unknown. Slowly I rise from the bed trying not to attract the twins attention before signalling enzo that I'm going outside, to which he nods.
"Hello?" I ask once I'm outside his bedroom door.
"MOMMY. MOMMY. pwease i hwurts mommy" my heart drops and my blood runs cold.

"Oceana"I cry rather frantically.
"Tsk hello Sapphire. I believe we have something of yours, or rather someone" someone taunts on the other line, they sound quite familiar but I can't place it.
"What do you want"
"4 million, meet me at **** at midnight if you want to see your daughter alive again" before the line cuts. Hyperventilating,
I let out a load sob alerting enzo of my cries. Barrelling out the doors, two little ones timidly trailing behind, he comes straight to me and hugs me as I collapse on the ground, letting out a fresh wave of tears.
"I have to go to her. But she's dead. How do they have her. Who are they." I mumble to myself but enzo hears. He just looks at me waiting for me to calm and tell him what's going on as he strikes my back in a calming way. "Someone called me. A little girl crying in the background sounded exactly like my daughter. But she's dead. How could it be her. How could she be alive. How could they have her. I have to get her" I rapidly let out looking straight into his eyes with my teary ones.
"Are you sure it's her" he asks calmly.
"No, that's why I have to go check. I'm getting my plane back to London, then going to meet up with this person. If I'm not back by 2:00 am.." I tap my neckless twice. He made one for me and the twins and each contain a tracker that only he and his father can access. He nods saying he will look after the twins but if I'm not back he's got to tell my father. I kiss him quickly then leaving a light kiss on the twins foreheads before getting changed as fast as I could.

Sighing I make my way to my private jet to London.
Time skip ——
She not here. How isn't she here. Let me explain- I'm currently In London and as gross as it sounds and as hard as it was, I dug up oceanas grave. Only to find she wasn't in there, not her body, not her bones, only the small bracelet I gave her when she was a baby. I pick it up in my hands letting out a small cry before rushing back to my jet. If she's not in their then she might be alive. I don't get how and I don't want to get my hopes up so I take a deep breath. I can't call enzo as they could have tapped my phone, all I can do now is got meet this person. Looking besides me, I see the bag full of money, granted half fake, as I hope it is mixed in with the real enough to keep them off my back long enough to get my daughter out if she's there.
Arriving at the meeting point, 4 minutes to midnight I grab the bag of money before making my way to a shadow, a shadow of a man.
"Where is she" I demand still unable to see their face. A chuckle sounds in my ear that makes my blood run cold as the mystery man steps out from the shadows and it's the one person I hoped never to see again. Surprised and full of fear and anger,
I let my guard down unknowingly, allowing the person who snuck up behind me to hit me on the head, hard enough to knock me out. As darkness engulfs me, the last thing I see is his face, his chuckle. The face of my rapist, oceanas father.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
