A/n: Not long now, little ones. Two to go.

Exodus

Chapter 48: Silent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Previously:

"Bye Jamie Sato." Mayla said softly, before walking away from Jamie and the reapers as Jamie and reapers' shrieks died down.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hilary clapped her hands together. "Let's go." She said. Yummni turned to her.

"Not long now, little one." She said as they began to run down the alleyway.

"Do you know where Mayla is?" Hilary asked. Yummni and her self stopped in the middle of the busy street. Yummni pointed towards the top of a building.

"Up there." Hilary looked up there. There was a blue figure, and then Mayla, clad in skintight jeans and a corset appeared in front of her. She gasped. Louise appeared, in her military uniform, Mariah in a pink top and black jeans.

"What's happening guys?" Hilary asked. She looked at them all. Another figure came up behind Mayla. A tall girl, with blue hair and tartan pants. A younger teenage girl with rosy pink hair and light blue eyes stood behind Mariah.

"He'll be back before 730." The pink-haired girl said.

"730 are here." Louise said.

"He'll come at you. Drive you apart." Yummni said.

"Kill you. Kill us." Mariah said. A pointy-ended scythe appeared in Mayla's hand.

"You can't let it happen, Hilary." Mayla said as she stabbed Hilary in the stomach.

"AH!" Hilary screamed as she bolted up. She looked around. It was dark and she was not bleeding. She looked over at Mariah. "She was Danielle."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mayla sat against the tree, hidden by a bush. One thought went through her mind. Revenge. The sliver necklace with the sliver key hung from her hand. The bush moved in front of her, and a pale arm grabbed hers' and pulled her up. Tyson pinned her up against the tree.

"It's not your fault." He said. Mayla dropped the necklace.

"It feels like it is. I am not used to feeling this way." She said, into his torso. He pulled her off him.

"It makes you feel more human, doesn't it?" Tyson asked.

"I hate being human. All these feelings." Tyson lifted his hand and stroked her cheek.

"You're human. You've got to accept that." He said.

"I'm not human! I can heal, I am immortal. I can do this whacked-out thing with my hand. I can send people twenty-feet through the air. Can you do that?" Tyson looked away. "I didn't think so." Mayla grabbed his free hand. "Do you miss it?" She asked.

"Yes." Tyson replied. She ran her hands through his hair. Then suddenly, Tyson was pushed backwards.

"I can't let you get hurt." Mayla said, walking away.

Flashback

July, 2005:
Kyoto, Japan:

Hilary smirked as she ran the edge of her high-heeled shoe against Kai's leg. Kai raised an eyebrow.

"Hilary, did you book you're aero plane tickets?" Kenny asked. Hilary looked over at Kenny.

"Yep. Already for September 15th." She said smiling.

"Why are you going anyways?" Max asked.

"There's this great art gallery I want to check out that's out in Westminster City. It is just outside London. It's having this major modern art exhibit." Hilary said as she raised her foot against Kai's leg again.

"You're going to major in art in Uni?" Rei asked.

"Yep. I'm thinking of going to an art college in Chicago." She briefly looked at Kai before returning her gaze to her dinner plate. Kai bit his lip.

"I'm thinking of going overseas too. But I don't know what I want to do." Max said, sighing. "Mom wants me to do a science course or something like that, but, you know. What ever. What about you Kai?" Max asked. "What are you doing after high school?" Kai looked at Hilary, then Max.

"I'm going back to Russia." Hilary caught his glance again, before slamming her knife and fork down. She pushed her chair back and stalked away. Everyone watched her in shock as she walked away. Kai placed his down. "I'll check on her." He followed her footsteps. She was hiding in broom closet.

"Fuck off." She said, with her back facing him. He stepped in, closing the door. Kai wrapped his hands around Hilary's waist.

"I'm sorry about mentioning Russia, and going there after high school." He said into her ear.

"I want to go to art school. That's all." Hilary said softly. Kai smiled.

"I'll always go with you."

Now:

Yummni stretched her arm. "I can't find Mayla or Tyson." She said. Mariah threw her hands up.

"That's just great." She said, giggling. Hilary started to giggle as well.

"Geschlecht im Strand!" Louise exclaimed, laughing. Yummni smiled.

"Sex in the sand." Yummni said, translating, they all fell to the ground giggling, Yummni including. Hilary stopped giggling, sitting up.

"Did you guys hear that?" She asked. They fell silent.

"Is someone coming?" Mariah giggled. "I swear I just say Mayla and Tyson." Louise shooked her head.

"Nein. Nein way!" Yummni stood up.

"It's been eighty days."

"And nobody's found us." Hilary finished. Louise's fingertips touched, causing electricity sparks to fly out.

"Mankind's greatest enemy is man, itself." She said, looking up at the sky.

Flashback

January, 2002:

Berlin, Germany:

"Hallo!" Louise said cheerfully into the phone as she picked up a glass of water.

'Is that you Louise?' An old woman's voice said softly over the phone.

"Ja, Grandmother! How are you?" Louise asked.

'I am good. Why did you ring?'

"I just want to tell you that I have joined the military."

'Why? After what happened to your mother?'

"She was a scientist. Not a military personal! She was murdered!"

'Because she became involved. Why don't you go to school?'

"I don't want to go there. I have never been to a school. Can't you get that you make me do anything?"

'Are you coming back to Frankfurt for the memorial service?' Louise placed the glass down.

"I don't know. Maybe. Grandma, can't you get why mom became a scientist?" She asked.

'You are mother was a foolish woman.' The line went dead and Louise threw the phone into the sofa.

"Dummkopf" She said, tears falling down her cheeks.

Westminster City, England:

A white haired, pale-skinned little girl walked out on the grass. A doll hung from one hand while the other was placed over her heart. "Jasmine, where are you?" She asked.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/n: The final two chapters should be posted up soon. Chapter 50 has a spin on it. Yummni is Jasmine, okay. And the little girl from above is her little sister, Sara. Yummni mentioned her a little while ago. Hope you enjoyed. Also the phone convocation is in German and Frankfurt is Louise's home city. Review!
