The Power Of Love Part 26 While Devin and Vincent were talking at the springs Catherine took baby Jacob to their chamber to change than go see father. She was very uncomfortable about Paracelus. She needed father's wisdom on the situation. By the time she reached father's chamber Jacob had fallen asleep. "Hello my dear father greeted her." "How is my little namesake?" "He just fell asleep. "May I lay him on your bed?" "Of course you can." Making sure baby Jacob was still sleeping and nicely covered she placed a kiss on his cubby little cheek. "Sleep well my love." Than she took a seat at father desk's. "Where is Vincent?" "He and Devin are at the falls talking about Paracelus." "That is why I came to see you." "Devin did not go into much detail about his encounter." "He said he did a stellar performance which I don't doubt." "Me either said father. Catherine could heard the proudness in his voice. He was proud of Devin she was sure of it. "Father you sound pretty proud of Devin right now." "I am." "Although he has done some things I was not proud of, I love him." "It wouldn't hurt for you to let him know from time to time." Father nodded his head in agreement a moment." "Catherine I can see concern in your eyes." "I am also concerned about this." "Paracelus knows Vincent is the main person standing in his way of reclaiming our world." "He knows how Vincent's "demise" will effect everyone." "Especially you dear." "It will be his revenge on you."." "He also knows I would be devasted and not up to par." "I know John quite well he feels I would be so out of sorts I could lose my guidance over our world." "They'll need someone strong to carry on for them." "Who else other than he who has lead us before." "Father all of us know how evil Paracelus is." "He tore our world apart once before." "What makes him think we would welcome him as a leader?" "He has a brillant mind." "He will not do what he did before." "He will find a way to make everyone accept him believe me." "Father we cannot let that happen" "And we won't was Vincent's velvety reply as he and Devin entered father's chamber." Catherine turned to the entrance hearing her love's voice. Going to her Vincent hugged her close. "I felt your concern when you left the springs." "After Dev and I talked we came here knowing you would probably seek father's counsel." "Yes I did." "I know you and Devin promised me everything would be alright but I guess I needed someelse's assurance." "Father knows him better than all of us and what he is capable of." "Father spoke than I will not sugar- coat this for anyone." "Paracelus tried this once and it worked until you returned and saved us Catherine." "This time I feel he will cover all bases permanently." "I know him very well and I guarantee he will make sure absolutely nothing can came back to haunt him." "Like me right said a somber Catherine." "I am afraid so dear Catherine." "No I don't think so father stated Devin." "I made him believe I love Catherine so deeply that I would do anything to have her." "If you did convince him of this, he will use your "love" for her was a weapon." "Right now he is using it to turn you against Vincent" "If I do not crumble as he hopes I will over Vincent's "demise" I know he will use it against me and anyone else who might stand in his way of becoming our leader." "He could very well use it against you Devin." "Father what are you trying to say asked Devin?" "Devin after Vincent is "gone" Catherine and her children will be a constant reminder of Vincent to everyone." "It could make them hate Paracelus even more making it harder for him to gain control." "It may make them strong and rebell against him." "If he feels this is a threat, he could turn you against Catherine as well." "He has turned men on each other." "He could very well have it work the other way." "He could make you think Catherine is having an affair with another man Below." "He is evil he could make you hate her so much for betraying your love that you would turn on her." "With Catherine gone thats one less threat." "God only knows what he would do with their children." Catherine gasped than. "Stop this at once father." "I told Devin and Vincent I was stronger than I look but hearing this about our children." "I just can't do it father." "That's enough father you are upseting Catherine and Vincent held her close." "I am sorry Catherine." "I don't want to up set you but I could not sugarcoat anything and I meant it." "Paracelus is a dangerous man by himself but we also have his daughter to consider." "Have you all forgotten about Megan." "She has proven to us she is just as evil as her father." "We have to think of all possiblies when it comes to them."" "Yes we do but did you have to go so far." "Remember we are on to him." we are playing his game stated Vincent." " Hiding the truth can make us weak Vincent and I want you all to understand how serious this is." "We have to make sure absolutely nothing goes wrong or Paracleus wins again."
