I feel disgusted with myself as I get into Matt's car, I've left Carter at home so I am surrounded by silence. I do not want to explain to them why I was with a human, I'm also trying to keep things normal so I don't arise suspicion when I cross enemy lines. It feels horrible to talk about Seymour as the enemy but I really can't think of any other way to describe the situation without admitting I am about to purposely kill yet another person close to me. Usually I enjoy the quiet but today it seems more mocking than peaceful, the whole world seems like it's glaring at me for what I'm about to do, I feel incredibly guilty.

It is almost evening and the sun is about it start it's downward fall. The weather has been bright and sunny, very contradictory to my mood. I love driving, I can usually calm down while riding at high speeds, the faster I go the safer I feel it's almost like nothing can touch me. Today is different, I feel cornered like I'm being watched. I find myself constantly checking over my shoulder or out my rear-view mirror. My stomach lurches as I pull into the driveway of Matt and Seymour's house, I see Matt look out the kitchen window and smile. I plaster a fake one on my face to match his and push my guilt deep inside my mind, I don't want Matt to see through me so I add a little nervousness and fear into my emotions. Ever since coming back to earth I have learned that I am in total control of my mind and body, I don't really think there is anything I can't do now, maybe this is how the telar used to feel. I am just leaving the car when I hear a house door swing open, I spend one second praying in my mind that I can keep it cool and come up with a reasonable explanation for my actions. The only flaw in my brilliant plan is that I cannot come up with a reason for why I left, I am planning on just going on whatever comes to me at the moment, should be wonderful.

"Sita!" Matt calls out jogging towards me, I am completely surprised when he pulls me into a tight hug and murmurs how much he misses me in my ear. I open my eyes to see Seymour watching us carefully. "Come on Seymour, Sita's back!" He teased while practically dragging him over to me, for a split second I want to go to Krishna and refuse to continue this plan, but then I hear his irregular heartbeat and confusing smell and remember that he's not the same person anymore. Despite my disgust for what he's become I give him a very friendly hug and apologize for leaving so quickly. My response for when they ask me why I left is that "I was totally overwhelmed by everything around me and Seymour's change in species just threw everything overboard in my mind." I actually went as far as to say that I barely remembered anything from that day, somewhat of a gamble but I was pleased to see my lying skills haven't worn down that much when Seymour sympathetically pats my arm. Either they are both amazing actors or they really believe everything I said.

"So, um, I was wondering if maybe I could stay here for a few night until I get things worked out?" I know they will say yes but playing the nice hopeless act seems my best route right now.

"Of course Sita, I was actually kind of hoping you'd want to stay." Seymour says smiling, I can almost hear my heart shattering into tiny pieces. Matt gives us both an excited smile and starts to guide me into a living room, he doesn't speak until he is almost sitting in the chair.

"I have something very interesting to show you that we found about five years ago, it will explain a lot about how the police caught us so quickly after we destroyed the Telar and ICC." Now he has my interest, that mystery has always been in the back my mind since it happened. I am almost beside myself with excitement, but due to my nature I don't show my joy in case it is a test. Instead I stand quietly smiling with my hand behind my back waiting for him to continue. He looks up and smiles at me before opening a series of files on his computer, at first I have not a clue what I'm looking at.

"What is this?" Seymour and Matt both look at my like they expect me to understand, the only thing I can decipher from what I'm seeing is a very complex computer system. At first glance it seems like a futuristic life-like robot but then I remember that almost everything looks futuristic to me. After a further observation I am almost sure that it is some form of artificial intelligence, although it does look impressive I have no clue how i could send the cops after us so quickly. "Okay, explain to me how it works. I give up on trying to guess on my own." I smile, I'm trying to add some of the old joking that I used to do while talking to them. If I'm too uptight they'll know something in wrong, I wonder if Matt would help me if I told him the situation, I decide to play it safe and wait until I know more before going to him.

"This right here is the most advanced version of AICS, the artificial intelligence computer system. It can control almost anything on this earth, we are one of the three people who can access these files and information. Those children had actually programmed it to keep signal with implanted sensors in their bodies that keep track of their heartbeats. Turns out three days before you killed the telar the lens had set it so that if the sensors registered a stop in their hearts it immediately sent our names and "crimes" to the F.B.I, they even made it look like it was from a cop station in L.A." I am shocked, I knew these children were smarter than most but I didn't know their intelligence was this great. I have a feeling there was more to them than we thought. For the first time in a while Shanti, or as I found out Tarana was on my mind. I feel horrible for not telling them earlier, even though it's not a great time to drop another bomb it's not like things can get much worse either, and well there's never really a good time to tell someone their friend was the devil.

"I am really sorry to have to bring this up now but, I need to tell you the truth about Shanti's death." They both turn to face me, I see the hopefulness in Seymour's face. They were really close and I know this is just going to break his heart.

"Wasn't she killed by the same person you were?" Matt asks with caution, almost as if he is doubting the fact already, good, this won't be as much as a shock to him.

"No, I don't really know how to put this easily but, I killed Shanti." For a moment everything falls silent, the only sound is our heartbeats. I predict Seymour's attack before he makes it but he gets a small hit in before i restrain him.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" He growls, I am on top of him pinning him down. He might have grown muscle since I was gone but I am still stronger.

"You're not letting me explain, if you can calm down we can talk about this like normal people. I suggest you halt your violence towards me before I have to make you stop." He stops struggling but his glare remains in place. Matt stands behind us puzzled as if he were trying to figure out a difficult equation.

"Why did you do it?" Matt asks, his voice isn't as angered as Seymour's but there is a menacing edge to it that makes me uncomfortable.

"Do you want the short answer or the complete story?" I hope they go for the short answer because I am not in the mood to relive the past but knowing them they won't.

"Short." Seymour spits out.

"Long." Matt answers hesitantly, they both give each other a look before turning back to me. It is so typical that they still disagree on the smallest things.

"Okay, short answer, Shanti was Tarana, the Light Bearer or Devil whichever you call it," they both go to speak but hold up my hand, "If you interrupt me on every detail this will take forever, do you trust me?" They both nod. "Alright then, sit down because this could take a lot longer than a little while."
