Shared Dream Part 15 "No it can't be said father, once he was exiled from the tunnels so many years ago, I thought we would never hear from him again." Than he read the note: Vincent "I have something very precious to you." " I want my life back and the world I created." "I will exchange Catherine for you." "Do not try to find us." "If you do the woman dies." I will contact you again." "Paracelsus" "Son I am sorry." "What can we do but wait?" "Father, he has Catherine and she is carrying my child, I cannot just stand here and wait." "Son under the circumstances, you have no choice." "If he harms them in anyway father he will pay." "Catherine knows how dangerous Paracelsus can be and she wants me safe." "Now I understand why our connection is gone." "She blocked it so I cannot find her." "Father she cannot keep doing this." "I must protect her, she is my life." "Vincent Catherine loves you with all her heart." "She told me you were her life as well." "She is willing to subject herself to the evil Paracelsus to keep you safe." "You would do the same for her." "Yes father I would but we are different." "I can take care of myself." " Catherine can take care of herself son trust her." Kanin asked, "is there anything we can do?" "Can someone think of a plan?" "We cannot let Vincent sacrifice himself to Paracelsus for us." "He has protected us and our world for years." "It is time we protect him and get Catherine back." "Here Here said the crowd." Their love and concern touched Vincent's heart. "I cannot let anyone else get involved." "I appreciate your loyalty." "I cannot express how much this means to me." "But I must fight this battle with Paracelsus on my own." "He wants me." "I will be in my chamber trying to figure out a way to beat Paracelsus and get Catherine and our baby back safely and he left the chamber." After Vincent left, Jamie asked "if she had heard Vincent correctly?" "Father is Catherine pregnant?" "Yes Jamie she and Vincent are expecting a child." "They were going to announce it this evening at dinner." "Jacob, said Mary somehow we have to help Vincent." "It has always been his dream to fall in love and have a child." "We cannot let Paracelsus take that dream away." "We have to bring Catherine back to him'." "We owe him that much." Everyone was in agreement; they will help Vincent even if he requested that they do not. And they began to discuss what could be done. When all their plans were made, everyone retired to their chambers. They had a big day ahead of them tomorrow. Below Catherine was shielding her eyes from the blinding light and let the bond open. Making sure she did not leave it open long enough for him to know where she was but long enough for her thoughts reach him. "Vincent the baby and I are fine." "Do not surrender yourself to Paracelsus." I will find a way out of this." "I love you." In his chamber Vincent was resting his head in his hands trying to think of a way to get Catherine when her thoughts entered his. He saw blackness surrounding her and a bright light just as it was in her dream. Then her thoughts reached him." "Oh Catherine I love you too and the connection was gone." Vincent tried his hardest but could not hear them anymore and it was not long enough for him to know where she could be. "I must go see Narcissa." "She can help me" and he left. Below as Catherine rested, she was trying to figure out a way to escape but it was hard not wanting Vincent to know." Paracelsus interrupted her thoughts, have something to eat I cannot have you starving." "You are to valuable to me right now" and he left the tray of food. "Wait Paracelsus, can you at least tell me where we are?" Catherine we are very deep in the catacombs." "No one will find us here." "These catacombs have never been visited before so we cannot be found." As Catherine talked to Paracelsus, Vincent ventured deep into the tunnels to fine Narcissa. He could use her knowledge right now. "Perhaps she can help me find Catherine." "Come in child come in." "What brings you to see me she asked?" "Narcissa I seek your help in finding someone." "The woman being held by Paracelsus?" "Yes how did you know asked Vincent?" "Vincent I know everything in these tunnels but people do not believe I do." "Yes I see she is fine but she is afraid." Narcissa why can I not feel it than?" "Vincent your connection is extraordinary but shut down." "You feel you cannot communicate with her." "Vincent child follow your heart." "Let it guide you and you will find your Catherine." "You must go now time is wasting." "Find your love." "Goodbye Vincent." Realizing what she was telling him, Vincent kissed her cheek and thanked her for her wisdom and he left. Returning to father's chamber, he said, "I know how to find Catherine." "How Vincent tell me?" "I went to see Narcissa and she helped me." "Eventhough Catherine has blocked the Bond, Naricssa told me to follow my heart.'' "Father I can feel her heart beating next to mine and I can follow it to where she is." "Son I have had my doubts about Narcissa and her wisdom at times." "In this case, I have changed my mind." "How soon will you be leaving?' "As soon as I can get the supplies I need for my journey." "Than come son let us go to your chamber and get you packed." "We will have Catherine back with us soon." "Yes we will father and Vincent smiled for the first time that evening. Part 16 Shirley's Fanfic Index |
