Drake's point of view

I sat outside sitting behind the maths building waiting for Roman and the other's I really needed to talk to him, Taylor's revelation about her mum brought back some memories in my mind that kept going around my head on reply, it was like I was seeing flashes of things I was told but unable to put it altogether.

"Hey" I heard a voice I wasn't expecting looking up I seen Nox stood looking at me worried "Drake are you ok" he asked.

I tiled my head looking around wondering why he was here, I expected him to be in a meeting with Gloria and Ridley.

"Yeah just thinking, I'm waiting for Roman" I said my head tilting back on the wall "I though you was in a meeting this afternoon that's what Sophia said" I asked looking at him, seeing the worried look on his face again.

"Drake, you've been gone two hours, I've had my meeting and it's over, Gloria reported to me you missed your last class there all on the bus waiting for you, I came looking for you" he said.

I froze rubbing my hand across my face wondering how the hell I had been sat here for two hours.

"I'm sorry" I said hating disappointing him "I've got a lot going on in my head, I really did loose track of time, I thought" I cut off looking away.

Nox kneeled in front of me his hand on my shoulder causing me to look at him "you thought you'd been here for a few minutes not a few hours" he stated.

I just nodded in confirmation, still trying to figure out how I had been here so long.

"What's going on Drake" he asked standing and sitting next to me "you know you can ask or talk to me about anything don't you" he asked.

I looked ahead arguing with myself, but one of my memories was of Nox telling me about the Lake Lady legend.

I herd someone call out to Nox and looked up seeing a guard, I sighed standing as Nox explained that he would escort me to the bus.

"I'll be riding back with them can you let the other's know for me" he asked.

The guard nodded before looking back once and disappearing presuming to inform Ridley and Gloria of the change of plan.

"Come on we can talk when were back if the other's ask you was in the library studying I'll sort it out with Gloria tomorrow ok" he asked tapping my back once. I just nodded and whispered a thanks

Once we boarded the bus and I explained where I had been Nox spoke with Roman asking him when we was back if he would mind taking Sophia to the garden to teach her about the herbs, Roman asked if I wanted to go, but I knew it was my chance to talk to Nox so I politely declined.

***** TLM * TLM * TLM * TLM * TLM *****

I was stood outside our pod on the balcony watching the lights from the town when I felt someone stand next to me, I turned seeing Nox leaning against the railing looking out into the sky.

"What's bothering you Drake" he asked still not looking to me.

I closed my eye for a minute, before turning my back on the city leaning the base of my back on the rail as my arms stretched out next to me, I seen Nox turn to face me.

"The legend of Lady Lake, its true I met her daughter today and … " I cut off shaking my head trying to get my thoughts to make sense before I spoke them out loud.

"And" he asked waiting for me to continue.

"I don't know" I sighed frustrated rubbing my face before continuing "when I herd the guard say her surname, it jolted a memory but I couldn't pin point it I asked Roman about it, and he mentioned the legend, but it didn't click until Ridley was stood on stage and I spoke to Taylor his daughter about it, when she confirmed she was her mother, I don't know something was telling me I knew her or at least …" I cut off again.

I felt Nox sigh next to me, but I looked down not wanting to see disappointment on his face.

"I cant explain it, it was like when Taylor's hand connected with mine something was so familiar like a connection, I got this weird feeling like my markings was going to glow but I couldn't understand it, she's nothing like what the other humans are like, she acts differently and her father the work he does for us, the way he fights for us" I sighed finally looking at Nox.

"I told you the story up until you was around ten then I stopped the memories of you mother and father's fate's seemed to weigh down on you, over the years I stopped speaking of the legend, a lot of our kind did, Lady Lake will always be remembered for her sacrifice that day"

"I used to tell you all the legend, but I mostly spoke with you about it, on arrival day Roman and Sophia had already been captured to be sent here, so had Maia as the Ikson I was still aboard the space craft trying to help assemble those Atrians left, it was like a slaughter day, we'd come here for a new beginning but for a while that night I thought it was the end of us, for our kind" he said he looked far away as if he was back there that night.

"I remember the warrior's left behind was preparing to go out there, we had assembled those left alive and had made our way to the exit, your father and mother had left with the first warrior command – you was left, I found you with one of the warrior's and we made our way out" he stopped looking at me I could see the despair in his eyes as the memories of the day hit him.

"I don't remember" I said frustrated it was like my mind had blocked the memory of that day away. "I mean I feel like I remember flashes the noise, the screams" I shook my head "but it feels like my mind wants to shut down when I try remember the rest" I said seeing him nod in understanding.

"it was a horrific experience especially for a child, we left the aircraft and it was mayhem around us, humans and Atrians alike lay dying the warriors spread out and I ran to help an injured Atrian near by, bullets were flying from both sides, I remember hearing a women's voice very clear screaming in a language I didn't understand, I do now tough she was human" he said looking to me.

"I looked up seeing a guard aiming his gun towards you, the warriors were busy fighting off other guards, I stood but before I could reach you, the gun had been fired and the women tackled you to the floor.

I got there as she rolled over you were shocked but I seen something I've never seen before, you crying. I seen you look down at this women who had saved you and" he cut off shaking his head before he continued "and I seen you show emotion I've never seen before, it was like you know what she had done, she shown me that there is humanity out there, the warriors reached us just in time to see the guard aim his gun again, he was shot down, we tried to save Miss Lake but the wound was too deep, she bleed out, we later found out she was a Doctor she was there to help humans and died saving an Atrian, she is the reason we pushed for the program to prove that we can be united and that her sacrifice wasn't for nothing, to prove we both can care for the other"

"It can't be" I whispered leaning forward as I paced in the short area space. "I can't be" I cut off shaking my head.

I tried to bring the memories forward, to prove it couldn't be, I couldn't be. But nothing was coming, I rubbed my head willing the memories to surface to tell me what I needed to know.

"Yes" he whispered "you were the boy Lady Lake saved" he said his hand on my shoulder looking me in the eye "that is why you felt a connection to the girl - Taylor, it seems your fates were marked a long time ago Drake" he said.

A/n – I know I know this was meant to be a Taylor and Drake chapter but Drake and Nox's conversation just didn't want to end, the next chapter will be all Taylor, I'm thinking of her and her Father having a bonding them I promise to do a Drake and Taylor split one – I have the idea all planned out just need to get it down.
