It wasn’t long until chaos broke out and Marie and Jackson were pushed out of the picture for the most part and were ignored by Luiseach. They were left partially fending for themselves; only having help from the maids and butlers for meals and occasionally Tyler, Luiseach’s husband, who gave the twins the kindness they deserved behind his wife’s back. They quickly learned how to take care of themselves for bathing and clothing themselves without any outside help. Being left without parents so suddenly and so young was, of course, a struggle for the twins, but they had managed.
That night in the dead of Nautical Twilight there were screams that could be heard from a distance. They belonged to a woman who had broken a law made by Luiseach and it was ordered that she’d be hunted down and executed. Jackson had heard those screams from his bedroom and decided that enough was enough. For a young child, he was smart and knew when things had to stop. He snuck out of bedroom, down the hall, and into the office that belonged to Tyler to retrieve an item that belonged to him. It was a knife that was used for cutting portals to other dimensions and Jackson intended to use it to give him and Marie a better life. Even if that meant living somewhere else.
He made his way to Marie’s room with such a panic and proceeded to wake her up.
“Wake up!” He whisper yelled and pulled her out of her bed.“We need to get out of here!” Marie rubbed her eyes to remove the grogginess from her eyes and looks at him.
“What…?”
“You heard me!” He cut into the air and opened up a portal with the knife. “We need to leave! Lui is becoming too powerful!” Marie glanced towards the portal and nodded slowly, knowing that they had to leave. There was the sound of the bedroom door slamming shut and standing in front of it was Luiseach who had heard Jackson panic down the halls. She didn’t say a anything; just stormed her way towards Jackson, pulled him back by the collar of his nightshirt with such an unusual strength, and threw him onto the floor. She then went to retrieve the young girl but by that time Marie was already in the portal and into the new world she would be living in for the next thirteen years of her life.
And just like that, she was gone.
