CHAPTER 10
"Sandman?" Max stammered.
"What does he want?" Alec asked.
"We don't know, all Aradia told us was that she called him to come down to Seattle." Dix explained.
"Wait." Max stopped him. "She called him? So, they've kept in touch this whole time?"
Dix shrugged for once not knowing what to say. "I guess so."
Max sighed looking at Alec. 'How could she have lied this whole time?'
~*~
Aradia stood at the gates of Terminal City. On the freak side. She was surprised that there were no ordinaries standing around screaming at them to get the hell out of Seattle. But then again things have gotten a little quieter around here. 'I guess time does heal all wounds.' She thought.
It had nearly been five months since the transgenics moved into Terminal City, and everyday it seems like less and less people talked about it. 'Why?' she thought confusingly. 'It's not supposed to be like this. The prophecies do not say so.'
She stared out of the gate. "When is the coming going to happen?" she asked quietly.
"Soon, my child. Soon." Came a voice from an old man that approached the gate.
"Father." Aradia gasped a smile appearing on her lips.
She tore the gate open enough for Sandman to walk through. "Father, I've missed you." She said.
"There is no reason. I told you I would see you soon." He said walking with her.
Max and Alec stood from a distance. They saw Aradia walking with an old man they assumed is Sandman. Max studied the man, he was old (yes, older then Logan) He was supported by a beautiful wooden, hand carved cane and to Max he looked more like a grandfather then a father.
Alec took Max by hand and began walking toward Aradia and Sandman. Max hesitated for a moment but then walked with him, It would have looked kind of odd to see Alec dragging her.
Aradia smiled as she saw Max and Alec approaching them. "Father, this is-"
"The one." He finished smiling.
"I'm Max." she said insecurely.
He looked at her strangely. "Darling, why do you have a boys name?"
Max was surprised at his first question. She had expected his first question to be about the runes, or about her life, or even a 'How are you?'
"My, my name? My brother gave it to me." She said.
"Ah, yes you and your unit were very close, that is until the escape. And who is this handsome man next to you?" he asked looking at Alec.
Alec smiled devilishly. "Sir, I'm X5-494. Formally known as Alec."
Sandman nodded.
"He's my partner." Max said then realizing what she said she quickly tried to correct her words. "I mean soon to be partner." She sighed in frustration. 'What is he to me? Looks like I'll be spending a lot more time thinking this through.'
"Alec is also the chosen one." Aradia explained to her father.
"Interesting." He said.
"Father!" A strange voice yelled from far away. Joshua.
Josh ran as fast as he could to welcome his father. "Father" he said once more as he embraced him in a hug.
Max just hoped that Josh won't kill the poor man with the strength of his hugs. The old man let out a laugh. "Joshua." He said.
"Joshua, don't squish him." Max said.
"No, no I don't mind." He said.
"Come on father, I will show you to your room." Aradia led him forward.
~*~*~*~*~
A beautiful young woman sat at a stationary desk at what looked like a hotel room. She had a notebook in front of her and wrote X5-494 and put a heart around it. She looked up dreamily and grinned.
"Soon, 494 you will be mine." She said.
~*~*~*~
"Is he up yet?" Max asked nervously.
"No, he's not. He had a very long rough trip, he needs to rest." Aradia said.
"When is he going to get up?" she asked.
"Didn't you just hear me?" Aradia asked. "He needs to rest, you can talk to him later."
"How do you know I want to talk to him?" Max asked.
Aradia rolled her eyes. "Well, you don't want him up to just stare at him! You want to ask him about the runes so do I."
Max sat down to look at Aradia confusingly. "I thought you knew everything about them. After all you wrote them."
Aradia shook her head. "First of all I said I wrote some of them I didn't say I understood what all of them mean, and second if I knew everything about them then there would be no reason for father to come here."
"You think he knows everything about them?" Max asked.
"Of course. He made them all up." She said. "I just helped him write them."
"Hold on. You wrote some of them, but you still don't know what they mean?" Max asked.
"I know how to read each character and I know what they mean, but I don't know what they mean to you." She answered.
Max nodded understandingly. Max looked towards the door and noticed a beautiful young woman standing there. "Hi, is there something I can do for you?" Max asked never recognizing her before.
"Yes." The woman smiled. "I'm looking for X5-494."
