We stood back as the house quickly caught on fire, tears flowing now as I fell to my knees. Cursing all those that made this happen to me, to us, to Father, to John. I started pounding the ground, with each punch the ground shook. My two friends held onto my arms and rubbed my back trying to make me feel better.
"It's going to be okay Isis, I promise. It will be okay don't worry."
Ben whisper in my ear.
"You say that now, but look at what happen to John and my Dad! John's mom had a fucking nervous break down! All because of me if you guys never met me, all this wouldn't have happen! It's my entire fucking fault!"
I scream at them as I stood up throwing their hands off of me, Nate slaps me.
"Sorry, but you needed that. Thinking that its all your fault, we all played a part in this shit! We chose to stick around, you didn't make us."
He grips me and starts shake me lightly.
"If we really didn't care about you, do you really think that we would be here right now?! Don't you think that we would have left you behind four years ago?! Isis open your damn eyes, we care about you! We both love you like a little sister; we don't ever want to hear you say that again. Do you hear me?!"
Nate was crying now; I bit the inside of my lip and hugged him crying.
"Thank you, thank you both so much."
I said as he held me tight, Osiris roughly pulls him off of me and holds him in the air.
"No Osiris, he's right; I really did need that. Please put him down."
He drops him.
"Come on we need to get going, King Makhai's ship is coming towards Earth now; we need to meet them."
Osiris says to me, I nod my head; the two humans grab my hand as the three of us along with the three Yajutas started to walk back to the ship; my two best friends and I talking about the good times, throwing some inside jokes here and there.
"Well here we are my lady."
Nate says to me as he lets my hand drop.
"You promise to keep in touch right?"
Ben asks as he too lets my hand drop.
"You guys still have the data pads that Montu gave you right?"
They nod their heads; the ramp begins to make its decent.
"Well I guess this is good bye then Isis."
"No, it's a 'I'll see you later'. I'll come and visit as soon as I can."
"Can we come and visit you too?"
I look to my Sire and he nods his head.
"They should be marked Sire, they showed great strength during their first battle with the kiande amedha."
Montu says as he steps next to our father.
"Well then why didn't you do it?"
Sire questions.
"I think they would like it bring higher honor if the King of the Yajutas should mark them."
He says Sire nods his head and got the thing out from his belt again; I told the two what this mark means and what it means to wear it among our kind.
"That's fucking sweet! Warrior Ben . . . has a nice ring to it!"
"But not as nice as Warrior Nate . . . Nate the Warrior yeah that one's better."
They stood still as my Sire stepped up to them, he marked them, giving them the same speech he did with Thomas, but this time he placed the mark on their left shoulder.
"May you live a long life. And Ooman, if you do that to my daughter again I will have you head as one of my many trophies hanging from my wall."
"It will never happen again sir."
"For your sake it better not."
"Daddy, no need to scare my friends away, play nice please."
He just makes a Yajuta's version of a "huff" then turned and walked up the ramp.
"Time to go off-spring; they are waiting."
"Okay Daddy."
"Isis, please leave with no regrets."
Ben said as he pulled me into a hug.
"I'm trying; I really am."
"Yeah, and you better keep in touch, or else I have to jack a rocket."
I laugh as I hugged him, and began to cry again. They both kiss me on the cheek at the same time.
"I'll see you later loves."
I say as I walk up the ramp.
"See you later Princess Isis."
They both say in unison, I make it inside of the ship.
"If I were you Oomans I would get away from the ship; or else you'll be fried."
They wave as they ran back, and we could hear the fire trucks rolling in now. I see my two best friends mouth the words "Good Luck" to me. The ramp closes and we begin to take off; I stand by the window looking at the Earth that kept shrinking. My eyes started watering up again.
"I don't regret anything. Dad, John; you'll see, I will make you proud!"
