In This Alone
Things had settled down on Tracy island. The girls had moved in and Kya and Lady Penelope were staying over during spring break, which is one of the only times you see Alan and Fermat on the island, due to their schooling. Jeff was relaxing next to the pool on a sun-lounger next to Lady Penelope, while most of the boys and their newly-moved-in family were actually in the pool. Kya and John on the other hand were in the control room at the top of the island, sending updates to the computer on Thunderbird 5, which thankfully didn't need someone up there to accept it. It was almost annoying to be back on earth for them both, Thunderbird 5 was much quieter.
The weeks events were almost non existent as the world had been rather good in keeping itself in order. Sure there had been a few odd goings on, but the event of last week was still fresh in the minds of the Tracy boys.
"So..." Virgil started, as he lifted himself out of the pool, "What do you make of last week? In the forest?"
"I don't know..." Scott laughed, "Maybe she was a demon". He looked at Alan and Fermat, who both at that time had nervous looking faces.
"Stop that." Jeff said, sitting up on the sun-lounger. "Whoever, whatever it was, or isn't..." Jeff paused, regaining his thoughts as he slightly confused himself, "Whoever she was, hasn't shown up since then, if she does, only then shall we do research into the matter, as for now, enjoy the time off." Jeff lay back down, turning to talk to Lady Penelope, who by this point was wondering what they were all talking about.
"I'll explain..." Jeff laughed, smiling.
"Kya, do you have that disc?" John asked, swivelling around on his chair.
"Sure." Was all she said as she walked over to John and handed a small box to him, with the disc sat inside.
"Thanks. So Kya, what did you think of that girl the boys were talking about?" He asked, sliding the disc into the computer and opening a new window for the software.
"I didn't hear very much... to be totally honest, I've heard three different versions of the story." Kya said, sitting on another chair next to John and leant her head on her hand.
"Ah. Basically some floating girl was apparently conjuring the fire that was taking over the village, and then once she had killed most of the people, she flew off, allowing the fire to dye down." John by this point had stood up and walked over to the window, overlooking the pool.
"What happened to the three children that were saved?" Kya asked, walking over to stand next to John at the window.
"There sleeping downstairs. After everything that has just happened to them, I think they'll be sleeping for quite a while." John smiled down at Kya, who at this point was staring down at the pool, watching Virgil and Scott push each other about, trying to submerge each other.
"Hmm..."
The evening drew in and the Tracy boys were sat in the lounge watching TV while Jeff weren't to check on the children, but much to his surprise, they weren't in the bedroom he left them in. Worried, Jeff ran up the stairs into the control room to see if they were with Kya and John. Much to his despair, they weren't there. Kya and John then joined in the search for them, running frantically behind Jeff as he searched in ever room.
Finally they came to the basement, where all of the rocket parts were held in case of repair needs. Over in the corner were the three children, two boys and an older girl, all under the age of 10. The girl looked about 9 and the boys wouldn't be any older than 8. The little girl began to laugh hysterically, as Jeff walked over to greet them and ask why they ran off. Kya and John were still looking around the lab for the children and were just about ready to move down to the basement.
"Dad?" John shouted as he ran into the basement, followed closely behind him.
"Jeez, it seems every-time I run after you something bad happens." Kya joked, but stopped abruptly when she saw traces of green gas over in the corner. "Not again... Who spilt it this time?" Both walked over to where the residue was forming on the floor and looked swiftly around on the spot for Jeff and the children.
"I could of sworn I heard them down here..." Kya said, trailing off.
"Can't of been..." Was all John said before making his way towards the stairs leading back upstairs. "Lets see if there out by the pool."
Kya walked out next to the pool, where she was abruptly pushed in. Upon surfacing she immediately shouted in a playful manor: "ALAN!" Hysterical laughter was coming from behind the sun-lounger where Alan and Fermat were hiding. Kya pulled herself out of the pool, fully clothed, and walked towards them both. Using her hand, she wiped the excess water from her face and hair.
"Have you two seen your father and the children?" She asked, hoping that they had gone past.
"Not since they got back." Was what he said, running off and cannon-balling into the pool. Great...
"John? John?" Kya called out.
"Have you found them?" He said, turning a corner and meeting her.
"No. They haven't been seen since they came home." A worried tone was shaking in Kya's voice.
"Get Brains, we'll meet in the basement in ten." With that Kya ran off towards the lab again and John carried on towards the Basement.
Brains and Kya met John as they said they would, in the basement.
"There was another note left on the floor. '100 Degrees North' is all it says." John said, showing the note to Kya.
"100 degrees north? There is no 100 Degrees north latitude, it only goes to 90, unless..." Brains stopped dead, mid sentence to ponder for a moment.
"Brains?" Kya asked.
"In the legend of the Elemental Angels, it speaks of a place hidden, known only as 100 Degrees North. This is where the Angels lived and kept their most prized possessions." Brains continued.
"I don't think I'm familiar with that legend." Kya added to the conversation, turning to see John nodding in agreement.
"Well..." Brains began. " The legend tells of 6 Angels, 4 representing the elements; Fire, Earth, Air and Water and 2 representing the Light and the Dark magic of the world. They weren't Angels as you would suppose, with wings and halo's, but normal human beings, able to mystically control their given element. One day, when flying over Sydney, there was a flash of light and the Angels were never seen in public again. Many years later an explorer by the name of Markus McFlagon came across the place in which the Angels were kept, on his way to the north pole. Inside the cave, which went on for miles, there was a chamber, inside the chamber were 6 ceremonial glass beds, which the Angels were lay on, dormant. Markus logged the site as 100 Degrees North and carried on with his exploration. He died on his journey and his notes were found some years later. Many modern-day explorers have followed the notes and have never found the cave.
"Interesting..." John said, walking back over to the green residue. "What now?"
"Well, I suggest we continue as if your father, Jeff, had been kidnapped by someone. It is obvious that it wasn't a mistake as the children could not of got in here without a key, and could not of opened the gas jar without either mine or Jeff's security code. Therefore I believe that those children are not what we think they are, after all, they were somehow the only survivors of the fire." Brains explained, walking out of the basement and towards the poolside.
"Would make sense." Kya said. " After all, it could have been set up, Jeff to rescue the children and then to whisk him off somewhere. Who knows what were into this time..."
"Indeed, now, we have to call a family meeting and talk this over. We need to try and figure something out, what to do etc... Were in this alone."
