Chapter 451 - Rangers in the Night Part 2 (1/2)
The loud rumbling of thunder breaks the silence between Freya and Andromeda. Freya exhaled and Andy reached her cold hands.
”Please promise me. Don't kill Moira.”
”If she would kill Fin that I should kill her.”
”That is what the Eagle Empire wanted. They wanted us to kill each other until they already had us in our neck.”
Freya exhaled and nodded.
”Promise me that. Do not kill, Moira whatever she did.”
”I want you to take away your heirs and Steven…”
”How about Zendaya?” She asked. She smiled tightly.
”I had my cousin backing me. I will let her shape my Zendaya when I am gone.”
”We can still fix this.” Freya pleaded.
”It's too late.” She muttered. ”It will keep going and going… Take rest for now.”

Zendaya is sitting on her crib as she stared outside watching the thunder strikes on the mountain nearby. She wasn't even scared of the rumbling skies. She's watching them with sad eyes and sad lips. Zachary is observing her baby girl and she sniffled and tearing silently.
He immediately approached her and hugged her tightly. Then she started crying.
”Hey, everything will be alright.”
”Mama mama…” She cried. He held her head and kissed her top head. He faced her and she sniffled.
”What's wrong, baby girl?”
”Mama…mama…” She sniffled.
”Shh, it's alright, little love.”
It takes a few minutes and she stopped crying. She looked up at him and then she pointed outside.
”It's raining.” He told. ”Do you want to listen to mama's song?”
He took the tablet and play one of Andromeda's songs as she sang softly a lullaby. He took Zendaya's milk bottle and gave it to her. She held it and she lay on her father's arms and he gently rocks her as he held the bottle. She looked up at him and he also sang along with Andromeda's voice softly.
Soon, she fell asleep and he gently lay her on the bed. He took the remote and closed the curtains and he continues the playlist that Andy made for her. He sat on the bed and reached his phone. He tried many times to call her, but her phone is unreachable.

They checked out in the hotel at a different time and Andy and Fin go first as they drove the truck to their destination. It wasn't that long until they reached the entrance of the mountain. Soon, Moira and Andel arrived with Freya and they started hiking down the mountain.
It was two hours walk to the tribe and as soon as they arrived, they were greeted by the tribe with a mark of Lion on their chests as a burn. They approached the Lion King of the tribe. They said their greetings and they were welcome to the hut with foods.
Andel seemed to be starving a lot and eat whatever he sees. It was all purely organic, and they had a wild boar.
”Why are you eating so much?” Moira asked him.
”Ellen doesn't want me to get thin.” He told. ”Besides, we need to hike down and up again to the tree-house. I will burn more carbs and fats and… energy.”
The Chief of the Tribe speaks in his language and Andromeda and Fin understand him. Fin laughed out loud and Andel looked at them curiously.
”He said that you should eat more and more. So, you'll have a good performance in s.e.x.” Andy whispered to him.
Andel eats more and lifted his thumb.
”I already i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e my fiancée. My performance would only boost up to around her.” He told the Chief. Fin translated it to the man and the man laughed and they all laughed.
Well, it was raining again, and they stayed for a night. The tribe came and said that they are camping on the other mountain. Guards are around and they specialize in poison and darts. Andy snuggled with the girls. She closed her eyes to sleep.
She's suddenly dreaming about Zendaya staring outside the balcony as it rains. Zach is observing her. But as she went into Zendaya's mind, she's started having visions of her getting killed. Then she's tearing silently and looked at his father. Zachary reached her and she cried and sobbed.
She sat up and hold her chest. Her poor baby must be missing her so much.
”You okay?” Fin asked as he sat on the corner and hugged his knees.
”Yes,” He answered, and he nodded down at the photo. ”After two years of staying here in Madagascar, I never thought that I would have a beautiful and loving wife and a great daughter and a family like this. I have never been happier in my life.”
She smiled at the thought that she's imagining from Fin's point of view.
”You gave me that family. I was more than grateful that you saved me once or twice but now—I owe my life to you and I can't kill you.”
”Fin, you have to.” She said. Fin sniffled and nodded. ”Our babies are probably worried about us.”
