A/N: I love this trilogy, but I like the Warrior Heir better than the Wizard and Dragon Heir's. But here is the full summary: 16 years after Jack's "death", Ellen and her daughter Adelaide, are making it by in life. Ellen has signed up for a job at Corcoran's, and Adelaide is just trying to make it though school. But one day, something bad happens. A woman with long dark brown almost black hair, and green eyes shows up at the school. That night Adelaide tells her mom what had happened, and Ellen brings Waymaker out of the closet. Adelaide soon learns what her mother is, not a waitress at Corcoran's, but a warrior....as was her father. Her cousin Seph is really a Wizard, and her Great-Aunt Linda is an enchanter. But then Adelaide wonders what she is in the mix of all this? Is she a warrior, wizard, enchanter, or something else thats really bizarre? I don't remember if the books ever said what Dr. Longbranch looks like, so the woman with long dark brown almost black hair with green eyes is going to be her, alright? This obviously takes place after the books, and I don't think I'm going to have Jason in it, but Seph, Linda, Hastings, Nick, the neighbors, and Becka are definitely in it. Well, Becka has to be in it since she's the grandma. The begining is going to be sad. Oh and I can't quite remember what Jack's hair color was, so I'm going to just give him dark brown, cause thats how I pictured it.
Chapter 1: Adelaide
Rain poured down at Raven's Ghyll, but only one sound echoed through the area. The sound of someone crying or screaming, it sounded the same. Leander held Linda and Seph back from getting too close to Ellen. She was crying over Jack's bloody body. Nick was keeping a barrier up, so no one would disturb them. Earlier, someone was trying to kill Ellen, a wizard, and Jack went to help her. He was struck about ten times with wizards fire, and wizards graffe. Leander had tried to help heal him, as did Nick and Seph, but Jack wouldn't stay still for them.
"Jack, please.....don't go..." Ellen whispered in his ear, and he raised his hand to caress her cheek.
"I'll always be with you." He raised his head to kiss her, and Ellen instantly kissed him. They had decided not to tell anyone about a little detail that was different about Ellen. Ellen was pregnant right now.
"But Jack.....we need you." He smiled a bit at her. His hair was damp from the rain, but he still looked the same, even though he was dying slowly at the moment.
"Like I said, I'm.....I'm always.....with.....y...you..." His voice was faltering and wavering, meaning his time was near. Seph then pulled out of his parents arms and went over to Jack.
"We'll miss you, Jack." Seph spoke for everyone back in Trinity.
"I....I know, Se....Seph. Aunt Linda?" Linda came forward and smiled through her tears at him.
"Tell my mom, that I......love her. Since she.....knows everything now, tell her the truth. She deserves to know.....how I......really died." Linda nodded and Jack grabbed Ellen's hand, and tightened his grip around hers. "I'll miss you all." Then Jack's eyes closed, and his breathing stopped. Ellen screamed in pain after she felt for a pulse.
"JACK!!!!!!" Thunder cracked over head, and Leander approached Ellen.
"Ellen, I know that you and Jack have a secret that you've been keeping from us. Do you want to tell us now?" Ellen nodded.
"I will tell you, but just not today." Ellen picked up Jack's body, and stood up. Tears were going down her face, no one doubted that they were indeed tears. Everyone in the Ghyll knew just how much Ellen loved Jack.
16 years later
"Adelaide! You're going to be late for school!" Ellen called and her daughter came running down the stairs. Adelaide looked so much like her father with the dark brown hair, but hers was in the middle of her back, and greenish blue eyes, like the sea.
"Mother how long are you going to be working tonight?"
"Until ten. Why?" She looked at her daughter.
"I was wondering, can Chris come over?" Chris was Seph's daughter. About a month after Jack had died, Seph had met someone named Ami and they had fallen in love instantly. She was only a few months younger than Adelaide was, and Chris was short for Christine.
"Sure, she can. You both are cousins after all. As long as there are no boys." She gave her daughter a look that meant 'If there is any trace of a boy in this house, besides family, you will be in so much trouble' and Adelaide sighed.
"Mom, why won't you let me date?"
"I don't want you to be like all the other girls. Now go to school before you're late." Ellen gave her a poptart, before she too went out the door to go to work. Once at school, Adelaide found her friends.
"Hey Chris! Louie!! Emily!!" Louie was actually Will's son, and Fitch had a daughter named Emily.
"Hey Adelaide! So will your mom let you come to the party tonight?" Adelaide groaned.
"I forgot to ask her, but she'll say no." Chris glared at Louie.
"Louie you know better than to ask her if you could start a party at Ellen Stephenson's house. She could kick you out of Corcoran's for a whole year, ever since she bought the place." Adelaide, Chris, and Emily laughed at Louie's face. Then school started. They all went to their homeroom classes. When school was over, Adelaide found Chris.
"Hey, Chris want to go to Corcoran's, then my house?"
"Sure!" They walked to the resturant and saw that Ellen was yelling at someone. Adelaide recognized the man as Leander Hastings. 'Wait, mom told me whenever I see him with her and she's yelling, to not enter his view.' Adelaide grabbed Chris's hand and pulled her out of sight from Corcoran's.
"Whats wrong Adelaide?" Chris asked, her eyes wide.
"My mother warned me to stay away from him."
"Who? My grandpa?" Adelaide's blood dropped. If Chris wanted to, she would tell Hastings all about her and who her mother is.
"Don't tell him who I am, or better yet don't tell him who my mother is."
"How come, Adelaide?"
"I don't know. My mother doesn't want him knowing about me for some reason." Chris nodded.
"I won't. But stay right here. I'll go in there and lead him away from Corcoran's, okay?" Adelaide nodded and Chris entered the resturant.
~Inside~
"Ellen you never did tell us what your secret was?"
"I was leaving it up to Jack to tell you guys!"
"Jack is dead!" Ellen raised her chin, and glared at him.
"You may be a wizard, but I will not listen to you. I spent my entire life listening to wizards practically, no more! Jack set me free!" Someone coughed behind them.
"Hi gramps!" Hastings turned around to look at Chris.
"Christine, hello. Is your father home?"
"Yeah. I'll be there in a bit."
"Okay." Hastings turned to look at Ellen. "Just tell me if there's anything I can do." Ellen rolled her eyes.
"Just go. Thats what you can do to help me, alright?" Hastings walked out of Corcoran's, scowling though. About ten minutes later, Adelaide came into the shop.
"Mom, what does he want?"
"Adelaide I'll tell you all about it someday. Maybe when your seventeen. Now, Susan! Take their orders, and let me know what they want."
"Yes, Ms. Stephenson." Adelaide sighed as she sat down in a booth, knowing her mother would not tell her what was really going on.
Alright review! Ellen obviously never did tell everyone that she was pregnant 16 years ago. But Seph knows, and so does Becka. Their just sworn to secrecy. The only reason why Becka knows is because Ellen asked for her to come help her during the birth. And Becka brought Seph with her, knowing he's a wizard, he could put up a barrier of some sort, so no one would mess with them. Seph has told no one who Adelaide's father was. But if someone, like Hastings, really analyzed the facts that are out there, they would be able to tell what her secret was. And who the child is, since Adelaide looks so much like Jack, but she's female, and she has greenish-blue eyes not blue eyes. Alright review!!
