Chapter 29
Asher woke up, still hoping this was a bad dream. Instead, he found Tak starring at him. All he could do was glare at her. "I'm board," he told her.
"Do you want a metal?" she questioned him.
Asher rolled his eyes and got up to stand. He couldn't move far, but he could look out the window. Looking down he saw that a good portent of the planet was on fire. He guessed this it was from his mother. But what was she doing on the planet? Wait, his mom. That must mean that his parents and the uncle he never met had been right behind. Why did he even doubt his sister?
He looked around as much as he could to see more evidence of his family's presence. Then suddenly, someone crawled over the window from the side. In a split second, he knew who it was.
Fin has somehow escaped and had made it back.
When he was about to say something, she justered him to be silent, giving him a thumbs up. She crawled away and he turned around. He smirked when he saw that Tak hadn't noticed the siblings' encounter.
"I bet you're pleased with yourself," he taunted.
"Why wouldn't I be, Half-Breed. I've captured the one who single handedly racked havoc on the armada. The one who caused me embarrassment is probably wallowing in utter despair back on that filthy planet he stole from me. Once your sister is apprehended again, I hold all the cards."
"You may have all the cards, Tak, but you don't play with a full deck."
She back handed him, leaving a stinging red mark on the green skin of his face. "You just don't understand, do you? No matter what your family does, you're all goners."
