Sabina's Pursuit of The Holy Grail
Chapter 28: Epilogue

As I arrived back home, my present mother, Ellen Hines, hugged me tightly and cried with relief. I had been impossible to contact for the last week, and my parents had feared for the worst. They had heard about the recent terrorist attack in Jerusalem and had worried that I was among the victims.

“What happened? You were uncontactable for a whole week! I was worried sick about you.” Ellen asked me with a worried voice.

“I ran into some serious trouble, Mum, but I’m okay now,” I replied.

“What kind of trouble?” Ellen asked. I hesitated for a while. For my mother’s safety, it would be better if I told her a lie. But she was my best friend, and I couldn’t keep what had happened to myself.

I decided to tell her the truth, on the condition that she wouldn’t tell anyone. After telling Ellen the real events, we agreed to tell people that I was injured in the terrorist attack. This would explain the many scars I had on my body. Rumours tended to spread quickly, and I didn’t want the Templars or the Mossad to replace out about what I had done, or that I was in possession of the Zeto Crystal.

After speaking to my mum, I went back to my room. John was on a business trip, but I was sure that my mum would call him to come home. When he came home, I would tell him the lie about being injured in the terrorist attack, causing me to be in the intensive care for a week. It was just as well; I had never been close to him.

I contemplated what my future would hold. I had the Zeto Crystal, but it was drained from saving my life from certain death. It would recharge eventually, but I wanted to do something useful in the meantime. I realised that I shouldn’t be afraid of making money. Money was a great tool to make the world a better place. I could do a lot of good, if I utilised my talents for trading, to support charitable projects

I thought about Simona, and I had another epiphany: It was time for me to experience sex! When Simona had tried to seduce me, I had felt discomfort as I wasn’t a lesbian. But it had also awoken my dormant attraction to my former classmate, Alexander. While Alexander wasn’t meant to be the father of my future daughter, he was smoking hot. I realised it was time for me to lose my “holier than thou” mentality, lose my virginity, and pursue my sexual desires, as any 18-year-old woman would.

I called Alexander on his mobile, and he replied. “Hi Sabina, what’s up?”

I said to him straight up, “I want to have sex with you, are you free today?”

“Is this a joke?” Alex asked with a sceptical tone, but he seemed pleased at the same time.

“No, are you at home?” I asked.

“Yep,” Alex replied.

“See you in an hour, we’ll have lots of fun,” I said and hung up the phone.

As I left my house, my mum asked me where I was going. “I am going to my former classmate, Alex,” I replied.

“Alex? What are you going to do there?” my mum asked with a confused voice.

“Well, after saving the world from an evil underground conspiracy, it’s time for me to do something long overdue!” I replied.

“And what is that, sweetheart?” Ellen asked.

“To experience sex and be a normal 18-year-old girl!” I replied cheerfully, and took off before my mum had the time to say anything, leaving her speechless.
