Previously - "I'm happy you're feeling better," Jack starts "'cause you're gonna need your strength when you explain just what happened back there!"

Present-

Sara, Seth and I shared a worried look as we continued to bump down dark roads. Then Jack pulled over and turned around.

"Here's the deal : The cab doesn't move until your mouths do." Jack ordered. "So start talking". I could practically see the steam coming out of Seth's ears. He was pissed.

"The information you are seeking, is not within your grasp of understanding." Seth said slowly. He really does hate my uncle.

"We are dealing with issues outside the realm of ...your world." Sara stated.

"hey, I'm a cab driver, OK?" Jack started, spitting out his words "I have had plenty of worldly experi-" He's cut off when he see's a blue luminous light. "Experiences." He finishes. Seth, Sara and I turn around alarmed.

"Sara, we have to go!" Seth yells. Sara sticks out her hand, causing the car to start moving, swerving out of control. Jack grabs the steering wheel and begins driving.

"What is it?!" Jack yells. Seth hooks an arm around my shoulder and pulls me to his chest, out of harms way.

"HANG ON!" Jack yells again as fire explodes in front of us. I grip onto Seth for dear life as we're jerked around inside the car. I let out a scream and Seth holds onto me protectively. More fires spring up and the car jerks across the lanes, trying to avoid being set alight. We end up skidding down a steep hill causing a shriek to erupt from my mouth. Seth practically pulls me onto his lap as we almost die right there. jack manages to get control of the car and drives into a railway tunnel, to hide from whatever it is that's chasing us.

"We can't let him destroy it Sara!" Seth whispers, clutching my quivering body to his chest. I gasp for air and he strokes my hair in an attempt to calm me down.

"Who is he? And this time I need real answers." Jack commands.

"It's a Siphon." Sara says carefully, avoiding Seth's angry gaze.

"A what?" Jack ask, confused.

"He's an assassin trained to pursue his target until his mission is complete." Seth says, his voice hard and stony.

"And his mission is?" Jack asks, avoiding the obvious answer.

"Us." Sara squeaks and I let out a small whimper. Seth keeps me pulled to his chest. The blue lights reappear, as if they were searchlights. No body breaths. Jack's hand rest on the keys, Sara's eyes locked on the lights and Seth tightens his grip on me. A let out an unrecognisable whimper and bury my head in Seth's jacket. He strokes my hair with his spare hand almost robotically. If we're found, we may not live. People begin to pant and sigh so I come out and see that it's gone. Peoples eyes are glazed but everyone wears smiles. It hadn't found us. Jack starts the engine and we slowly drive out of the tunnel and along the tracks. The silence hangs eerily in the air. Seth is looking forward, obviously getting wound up.

"Get out of my head, Sara!" He whisper-yells suddenly, catching me and Sara off guard. At the moment I sit alone. Seth ripped our hands apart a few minutes ago, shooting Sara a dirty look.

"What's going on?" I mumble.

"You need to tell her, Seth." Sara says gently.

"No." Seth whisper-yells again, the look in his eye scaring me.

"Either one or both of you could die on this trip, Seth. You have to tell her how you feel. Or else you could lose her forever. She feels the same, Seth. I can see. Just tell her, Seth."

"I do not have feelings for her!" Seth glares.

"Seth, she feels the same! Just tell her before it becomes to late." Seth takes a deep breath then murmurs "fine." Grumpliy, making me giggle.

"Emily," He starts, turning to face me. "I met you this morning yet I feel like I have known you forever. When I'm near you I feel happy and also feel the need to protect you and keep you safe. I have come to the conclusion that... I have developed deep affectionate feelings for you. I ... I love you." He blushes and turns away.

"Happy Sara?" He spits "Now she'll think I'm an idiot."

"Actually she doesn't. And yes, I am happy." Sara explains. She nudges me "Say something." She urges. I take a deep breath and turn to Seth.

"I - I lo- love you too ,Seth." I reply, blushing madly. He turns round to look at me. He looks at me in the midnight and a huge, boyish grin stretches across his face.

"Really?" He asks excitedly.

"Really." I reply. His eyes light up like a child's on Christmas Day.

"What happens now?" He asks.

"Well, I think we start dating." I say. It's new to me too. I'd had lots of boys ask me out before, but I never liked any son always said no.

"What's that?" He asks.

"Well, dating is where you become boyfriend and girlfriend. They have strong feelings, love, towards each other and use a relationship to show that and also label their love. It also stops others from trying to steal someone else's love. They show their love by holding hands, going on dates, hugging, kissing, etc." I explain awkwardly.

"That seems to fit. What do you say, girlfriend?" Seth asks.

"Sounds perfect, boyfriend." I laugh and kiss him on the cheek. He smiles hugely and it makes me giggle. And somehow through all of that, Jack was concentrating so hard on driving that he missed it all! Yay! NO boyfriend lecture. I cuddle into Seth's side and he slides an arm round my shoulders. I lean against his side and rest my head on his shoulder. He smiles and kisses me between my eyebrows. I giggle and kiss him on his nose.

"Is there a safer route, Jack Bruno?" Sara asks, interrupting our little love session (Not that kind you sick people).

"Not unless you know how to fly." Jack states dully. Suddenly the Siphon appears and sends a fire blast, hitting the car. I scream and hold onto Seth for dear life. What a way to destroy our happy ora. More explosions sound as jack yells for us to get down. Seth rests my head on his lap and leans down so our faces are next to each other. He interwines our hands in front of my face,

"I got you. You're safe. I'm never going to let you go Emily. You're safe." I nod. He kisses my forehead. He puts his other arm around my back and pulls me closer to him. The Siphon's hovercraft follows us into another train tunnel.

"Jack Bruno!" Sara calls out, alerting Jack of our pursuer. Seth keeps us down.

"I think it'll be easier if we don't watch." Seth decides and I agree. I bury my head in his chest and he rests his chin on top of my head. He murmurs things softly to me, calming me down.

"Come on, come on, hold it together." Jack says to himself as I hear the spaceship scratching along the sides of the tunnel. "Oh, come on!" Jack yells in frustration as the familiar sound of a train horn goes. I gulp and bury my head closer to Seth.

"I love you Seth." I call out, just in case it's the last time I ever get to tell him that.

"I love you too, Emily." He replies.

"Faster, faster!" Seth yells at Jack. He holds me to his chest, giving up on the whole stay down thing. I whimper. His eyes fill with tears at the thought of losing me. "FASTER!"

"This is as fast as it goes!" Argues Jack. Sara does something to the car that makes it go faster and we manage to avoid the train, with seconds to spare, the spaceship and train not being so lucky and exploding. The last carriage of the burning train flies over our head. That was lucky.
