Hello! This is the new chapter!*.*

I am so thankful to 'Rindacasper' and 'lizDegna' for your reviews! I meant it! Thank you so much! ^.^

As you all must know by now, I will wait for reviews to post the next chapter...

I don't speak english as my first language so I apologize for the mistakes! :)

In this chapter we have POVs (Pint of Views).

When something is in italic it means that it is a thought.

I don't own Terra Nova but I do own Katherine!

I hope you all enjoy this chapter! ^_^


Maddy Shannon POV

I hear Mark explaining to Skye who Kitten is and I cry even more.

Being away from Kitten was one of the hardest things I had to go through. Although she is an active person like Josh she also has the brains and helped me deal with my intelligence a lot. Being smarter than most people is harder than most think, people treat you different and not good different like admiration, they envy you and are also pretty nasty and mean to you. Kitten defended me when people attacked me; talked to me, to make me feel better when my feeling were hurt.

Kitten is my sister, whether we share DNA or not doesn't matter because she was more of a sister to me than many sisters are regarding their sister.

Leaving the future and coming here was one of the most difficult things we had to do. Because we knew we were leaving her behind but as a mother, mom couldn't let us continue there because it was destroying us and we were bound to get sick or worse, die. We had no way of contacting her so we did what we had to do even though broke our hearts. When we told father that we had no way to tell Kitten he understood but we all could see how broke he was, Josh that at the time was still super angry and revolted against dad even hugged as support. We always hoped Kitten would come here in one of the next pilgrimages, since the probability of her being called is great because she is a true genius.

Now, not only I have to find out that my sister had an early life even worse than I thought, having her parents murdered in front of her eyes and being betrayed by someone that she trusted, someone I trusted along with my family; but my sister is somewhere OTG with my brother Josh, that I also love so much, in the company of a disturbed guy that even though seemed to care about Kitten could be extremely dangerous and god knows what he could do to Josh and maybe something could happen to Kitten because she was trying to protect Josh.

"Sir!" I hear a male voice saying somewhere close but I don't turn. My face is in Mark's shoulder while I cry my eyes out.

"Kitten!" I hear my mom's desperate scream and I turn to see what she is seeing.

Josh and Lucas are walking together towards us carrying a unconscious Kitten with a soldier accompanying them.

"Kitten! Josh!" I say getting up and running towards them following Mom, Dad and Walsh.

Before we reach them I see Lucas turn his gaze towards Skye.

"You! I am going to kill you little…" He tries to scream at her but passes out.

Josh stops moving trying to hold Kitten on his own.

"Help him!" Josh says and I look surprise at him, something that I am sure I am not the only one doing. "His stiches opened and he lost a lot of blood! Mom, help him! He… He was willing to die if it meant Kitten could live!"

I literally stop at my tracks at this. I'm in completely and utterly shocked.

Mom is not shocked and just reacts, she turns toward Lucas and starts ordering the soldier to help take Lucas to the medical center, he seems unsure if he should obey and Lucas towards Commander Taylor that nods in agreement, so he starts to get Lucas and Mark hurries to help.

Mom orders dad and Wash to carry Kitten. "No!" I shout when dad moves to do as mom says. "Something tells me that Josh might need dad here while he is explaining what happened… I will go with wash a Kitten! I can help! Zoe will come with us…" I say serious and at first mom looks taken back but then she nods and starts leaving with Lucas.

"Zoe!" I call and she runs to my side while I move awkwardly trying to help Wash carry Kitten. Kitten is not heavy so Wash just says it will be easier if she carries her while Zoe and I just follow, ready to help if necessary.


Skye POV

Everything happened so fast.

In an instant Josh is coming towards us with Lucas, and then Lucas is screaming at me, falling in the ground while passing out, Josh is asking help for Lucas.

I didn't even realize how it passed, but I noticed when everything stopped.

"We should go inside to have this talk Josh." Taylor says serious and starts walking with Josh and his dad following him. I don't know what to do because Josh hasn't mentioned or looked at me but I know I can't run forever. Lucas will tell the truth at some point and maybe if I am the one telling it I can make it look better for me.

I start walking with them and Taylor notices. "Skye, you better not get involved in this." He says serious.

"I'm already involved." I say looking down.

"I should have known…" I hear Mr. Shannon say.

Everyone starts walking again and when we finally stop we are sitting in chairs in front of Taylor's table. A Taylor that is looking really serious at us.

"What happened to you? Are you alright?" I ask worried looking at his face that seems to have been punched.

"Yes, and I am not the subject here. I want to know what happened. Start talking." He says serious looking from me to Josh.

"Lucas forced Josh to help him escape and forced me to help him take this Kitten girl…" I start lying to protect me and Josh and hopefully harm Lucas but Josh interrupts me.

"That is a lie." He says serious and I turn my head to him.

"What is the truth then?" I hear Taylor say but I don't pay attention.

"Josh…" I say his name with pleading eyes.

I see some effect start being made but then I hear his father saying. "Tell the truth Josh… You will be harming Kitten with a lie as much as you will be harming you."

All the effect is gone.

"Skye and I tried to kill Lucas." He says serious and I hold my breath for the explosion.

"What?!" I hear his father and Taylor say at the same time.

"Explain this better and from the beginning!" Taylor orders.

Josh then starts explaining everything. From our fear of what Lucas might do on the loose to him and Lucas running together while carrying his sister towards Terra Nova in the middle of a Slasher territory.

"I know that it won't matter now and that we probably will be sent to the brick or kicked out of Terra Nova, but I truly am sorry for what I did." Josh says serious and intensively and his dad hugs him protectively.

"Do you have anything you want to say for yourself Skye?" Taylor asks looking at me.

"I am sorry about what almost happened to Josh and his sister but Lucas tried to kill you! He used me and my mom! He tried to destroy Terra Nova! Him and his army caused so many deaths! He is going to try to do it all again! He will come for me, for you, for Terra Nova and even for the Shannons!" I say desperate.

"I don't think he will!" Josh says desperate and everyone turns to him.

"You can't possibly trust him just because out of the whole world he cares for one single person!" I say angry.

"He did say he will make me pain for what I did but I don't think he will try to kill me, or physically harm either… He said he wouldn't be hurting my family because they are Kitten's family! He honestly cares about her and I believe that is possible for us to convince her to convince him to give up on his vendetta!" Josh says desperately.

"I was hoping for that, but that will only happen if she is against his plan which we still don't know but have to be sure 'cause she is part of his army after all." Taylor says serious.

Josh and his father seem ready to argue but Taylor looks at them serious while shaking his head.

"If I am willing to give a chance to Lucas after everything, it is only fair for me to do the same thing for you two. But like Lucas you both will be on probation and since Skye seems to be the master mind of this stunt, was the spy earlier, didn't change her mind about this plan, abandoned Josh to fight on his own; Skye, you will, like Lucas be kept an eye on. We will watch you for a while to make sure you don't do something like this again, but Skye, I won't be so forgiven if this happens again, and for your sake I hope no one tries anything like this too because you will be the one which fault will fall if no one has any proof of who did it." He says serious.

"Shannon, you can go with your son to see Katherine, but please send Reynolds back with news about my son; if you could also tell Wash that I want to talk with her tomorrow after she rests I would appreciate. Skye, go home and rest, and hopefully understand that what you did was wrong and it is not to be done again; regarding your safety I will make sure there is someone watching out for you just in case after Lucas is better and free. I want to be alone now." He says as if is final and we all leave.

When outside Josh turns to me.

"I'm sorry Skye but I had to say the truth." He says serious and I nod understanding his side.

"Skye, I think it is best if you keep your distance for a while. From us and Josh too, especially since he is grounded." Mr. Shannon says with a firm and serious expression.

He then turns away, guiding Josh away by his arm. Josh looks back at me and mouths 'I'm Sorry'.

I can't believe that after everything I did to protect everyone I am the one that ends alone… This is not the end! Everyone will see that this is not how the story ends!


Maddy Shannon POV

I am sitting with Zoe on my lap staring at an unconscious Kitten. Kitten didn't seem to get worse from all this, whatever this actually is. Wash is in the room too. Mark and the other soldier are not here, they are close to my mom keeping it guard while she operates on Lucas.

"This is our sister?" Zoe says for the first time ever since we found out that Kitten was here and OTG with Josh and Lucas.

"Yes, that's Kitten." I say hugging Zoe tighter.

"She's pretty…" She says almost as a whisper.

"She used to joke that her good looks made her a Shannon, because she said we all had good looks. Like you Zoe!" I say sweetly.

"Is she smart?" She asks.

"She is way smarter than me!" I say giggling.

"Do you think she will like being my sister?" She says unsure and I hug her.

I open my mouth to respond but someone beats me to the punch.

"I am sure she will!" I turn to see mom saying with a smile.

"How is he?" I can stop myself from questioning. The truth is that this relationship between my sister and Lucas Taylor is very intriguing and interesting to me.

"He will be fine in time." Mom answers serious.

"Why is our sister friends with the bad guy?" Zoe asks curious.

"Because he isn't a bad guy with her, he is her oldest friend in the world." Wash say for the first time ever since we came here.

"What does this means?" Zoe asks confused.

"It means that Kitten my help Lucas, so he won't be bad anymore." Mom explains.

"Can she really do that?" Zoe says amazed.

"Maybe, we will have to wait and see." Mom says serious.

"Wait and see what?" Dad days walking in with Josh.

"Josh!" Mom says ignoring dad and running towards him to hug him. "I was so worried! Thank god you are ok! What happened?"

"Josh… Why don't you take Zoe out for a bit, go by her a fruit in the market… Be back in a few minutes." Dad says serious and Josh looks somewhat ashamed and takes a happy Zoe to the market.

After Josh leaves Wash makes a move to leave.

"No, you should hear this to." Dad says to her and she nods.

First Dad tells her Taylor's message and then tells us what happened.

When he is done we stay silent for a while and Wash left saying she was tired and had lots to think about.

We did not know what to say after she left. I for example am somewhat disappointed at Josh but glad that in the end he came through even when he didn't know it was our sister on the line. I know he was worried about us, about Zoe, I can understand him and he is probably already suffering enough for putting his own sister in the line of fire. Most importantly I am angry at Skye; she instigated my brother and just left him and my sister to die. She is not who I thought she was.

"Mommy! We are back!" Zoe says walking hand to hand with Josh.

Josh looks down ashamed and no one knows what to say or how to say it. Mom is the first to react and hugs him and whispers something I can't hear, he looks slightly better at what she said.

The tension is still strong in the room.

"And I am awake! Sleeping beauty and bla bla bla… Just please tell me no one kissed 'cause there is only family here and that would be wrong and inappropriate in so many levels!" I turn to see Kitten with eyes open and smirking. "Come on! Not even one hug?"

Everyone says so many surprised things at the same time and just launched at her with a big hug.
