Next Chapter of Past Midnight
( No One's POV)
The Scifi Con's Crowd made Sara feel like she was packed in a can of sardines . She did her best to maneuver her way around the hundreds of people dressed up as Wookies and Star Ship captains .
Once she had found the Lecture room of Alex and Bruno , she sighed. She gently opened the door to see the two talking to a full house of people .
Alex leaned in to the microphone . " thank you all for coming . Don't forget about our book signing at two thirty this afternoon ". The people stood up from there seats and slowly made their way out the door , while Sara made her way to the brunos .
" Did you find them " Jack asked .
Sara shook her head no . " I cannot find them anywhere . ".
Alex waited till the final fan had left the room before she spoke . " You don't think that siphon found them do you ".
Sara's face managed to stay calm . " I do not think , I know it had found them . " Jack groaned . " But do not worry , They have managed to escape . They took the car ".
Jack's face fell . " My Car ! They took my Car ! Seth has the ability to phase into any vehicle but they choose my Car ! my new Honda !".
Alex smirked . " I told you to get the Nissan ". Sara cleared her throat . " Oh right , thank you , Sara , We need to go find them now ".
" Is there anyone who they would have told of their location " Sara asked. Her blonde hair was swishing around her shoulders ." Seth would normally tell me . " A light bulb turned on in Sara's head . " If Seth normally tells me his sister of his current location , Then maybe they told Maddie's Sister where they are ". She smiled at her revelation .
Jack gave a quick concerned look to Alex. " It's worth a shot " The two girls raced out the door. " I'm not paying for a cab , after all its least you two can do after My Car was taken ".
( Maddie's POV)
" alright , bye " I said into my cell phone . I know Jack and Alex are scientist but sometimes they're not smart enough to turn on their cell phone's . I had left at least two messages . I walked inside the house to call my sister to see if she could help me figure what was wrong with me today. She wants to be a nurse so I asked her to come over.
Maria sat down right beside me on the couch , she placed the pizza box right in front of us . Seth sat on the recliner right across from us glaring into space, probably thinking of his mission.
I had also called Maria to get me this pizza , if she wasn't so stubborn it would've made it here in thirty minutes or less.
She pulled out her Iphone and started searching for what was these awful pains that keep happening every ten minutes or so are called .
The door quickly opened and Then walked in a shaking Alex , Jack and a calm Sara .
Alex held her cellphone in her hand . " It wasn't till we were halfway on the other side of Vegas did I remember to turn this thing on ". I laughed .
" Seth " Sara stated . " Is it True that you have been spotted by the siphon " Seth nodded his head. Seth asked Jack to take to him somewhere out in the middle of nowhere to complete his mission . I bit my lip , I could feel what ever pain that was again , it worse then ever this time .
Maria's iphone beeped. " I found it …You're "
( No One's POV)
Outside Jack and Seth were getting inside Jack's car . Jack wasn't completely thrilled about Seth's mission . Jack didn't want to admit openly but he was worried about Seth .
" Are you sure you still want to go through with this " Jack asked.
Seth nodded his head . Jack put the key into the ignition and drove only a few feet back , Then stopped the car .
" I mean , you don't have to " Jack continued . " You could ask your government to choose someone else of ".
" Jack " Seth interrupted." There is nothing in this universe that is more important to me than this mission ". Jack began to pull out of the driveway again . Sara came out of the house , screaming something at the top of the lungs .
" What is it , Sara " Jack asked as he stopped the car again .
" Maddie " Sara stated . " She's in labor " . Seth felt himself drop . Without a second to think he unbuckled himself and ran back into house .
( Maddie's POV)
I had guessed what it was before Maria announced it . I wish I could've known what it was earlier . At first none of them had any clue of what to do . Alex suggested that they take me to hospital but after Jack's comment on how the doctors would discover they would be half alien due to their unique blood type , they took me back to Seth and Sara's ship instead .
They had a small infirmary inside their ship. They had placed me on a small bed , and Sara placed a small silver thing that pinched my skin .
" Do not worry , Maddie " Sara smiled. " I have helped both my cousin give birth once . " Sara turned on a small monitor against the wall. "
Jack walked into the room . " Seth , if you're gonna fight this thing I think we should go now " Seth was leaning against the wall. I had no idea what was going on in his head.
" No " Seth finally said . " I'm not going . I'm going to stay here ". I felt my mouth drop . Did Seth just say that the mission he so desperately wants to complete , he's not going through with .
" Go " I said. Why did I just say that ? I want him here , but he has to fight this thing . " go fight the siphon " I bit my lip.
Seth walked over to my bed and bent his head down . " I will not leave you ".
" Seth , I'll be fine . " I said slowly . " You said that there is nothing more important to you than this mission " I took in a deep breathe .
Seth shook his head. " I didn't mean that , this is more important ".
" You want to protect us , Seth " I stated . " go , protect us from that thing , and I promise you , I'll be waiting right here for you ". Seth leaned in and brushed his lips against mine , then left with Jack .
I bit my lip . Sara had given orders to Alex and Maria on what they are suppose to do . I rolled my eyes , how is it they get instructions and I don't.
Now I guess all there is left to do is play the waiting game . I wonder who'll be first Cole or Caydence ….
