Melody, in the meantime, was wandering around the dimly lit corridors of the castle with Bleep. She giggled. "I guess we're lost Bleep. Maybe we should have followed Josie and Alan more closely."

"Bleep. Bleep."

"Oh well, I'm sure we'll find our way out of here soon or someone will find us." Melody's cheerful attitude never wavered. Why should it? Things always turned out all right in the end. Plus she was very happy. She was a drummer in the coolest band ever with her two best friends. Life just didn't get any better than that. Or so she thought until she found Bleep. Bleep was an added bonus, which only went to prove that good things always did and always would keep happening. You just had to wait; that was all.

But it would do no harm to keep looking for a way out. With that in mind, she searched. On the plus side, there didn't seem to be any of those aliens around. The corridors were deserted.

She continued to walk with Bleep on her shoulder. As she walked, she kept a look out for anything. Then suddenly, she heard voices. It was probably the aliens. She crept carefully down the hall towards the room the sounds were coming from.

Inside there were a couple of aliens and they were armed. Melody dearly hoped they wouldn't see her, but she wanted to hear what they were saying, in case it was important. So, she crept closer.

"Things are going very well." She heard one of them say.

"Yes. Our new ruler has no idea what's in store for her."

"Indeed. As soon as those friends of hers find their missing friend, then they will leave and it can commence."

"She will certainly be an acceptable sacrifice to our god. He loves taking sentiments that are so convinced of their superiority. And this one sure is."

"That won't last long." They both laughed.

Melody hastily backed away. There was something bad going to happen to one of her friends. Who could it be? Alexander, Sabastian and Valerie were safe back at the ship. Could it be Josie or Alan? No, she's been with them until recently. It had to be Alexandra. Yes, that was who it was. They were going to do something bad to her. Melody knew she had to find the others and stop it.
