Drabble 2: Questions?

Slamming her locker and sighing, Tess was glad the day was finally over. After Michael had asked, well more like demanded she meet him, her day had gone from okay to bad. Tess was unable to concentrate on anything except to wonder why he wanted to talk to her alone.

Arriving at the Cave, she parked a short distance away and walked up to the entrance. Standing at the doorway for what seemed like an eternity, Tess finally waved her hand over the rock, placed her hand onto it then stepped back, watching the door open, "Come on, you can do this, it's just Michael," she whispered to herself.

Walking into the Cave, she saw Michael pacing back and forth, so deep in thought that he did not even realize she was there. Leaning against the now closed door, Tess continued watching him and waited for him to acknowledge her.

Glancing at her watch, she realized they had been there for almost an hour and nothing had been said. Pushing herself away from the wall, Tess started walking towards Michael when suddenly he turned, "How much of our lives on Antar so you remember because I am getting flashes?"

"I don't remember much, just what Nesado has told me, why?" she said.

"Do you ever think that he might be lying?"

"No! Why would you think he is lying to us?" Tess yelled wanting to know why he thought the person who raised her was intentionally lying to them, only to find herself asking, "What's so different about your memories than what he has told us?"

Walking past her, he open the door, looking back over his shoulder he simply said, "They were not about Rath and Vilandra, they were about Rath and Ava." Michael turned and walked out the closing door, once again leaving her with more questions.
