Part 25

The Soap Factory
April 1, 2002
12:38 PM

Two cars were parked a short distance from the soap factory. Max, Michael, Isabel and Tess in the Jeep, While Liz, Maria, and Kyle were sitting in the Jetta.

"Are you sure he's in there?" Max asked sternly.

"He's in there and he needs us," Tess said.

"He doesn't need you," Isabel snapped.

"Not unless you're planning to kill him again," Maria chimed in.

"LISTEN!" Tess shouted. "I know I screwed up, I know that I ruined everything. Alex was my friend too, and I didn't mean to kill him. If I could take it all back I would. That's why I'm here now, to try and make things right."

Tess looked at the faces of the people she had once called friends. All the memories of all the good times they had together came flooding back. Tess wanted to cry out, she could never have moments like those again.

Meanwhile inside...

A few sheets of paper on the table to her left. Lonnie opened the shoe box she had taken from Isabel's and removed the healing stones. She had never seen them before, but had often been told of them by her protector that had left so long ago.

Alex had translated most of the important information in the destiny book. Then there was the information that he hadn't deciphered. The information that Nicholas had determined was useless. The information Lonnie had spent the past two months translating. The information that just may help carry out her plan.

Quickly she leafed through the sheets of paper that contained the translation. So far everything in the process looked to be going to plan.

Slowly Lonnie started placing the stones in a pile on the floor. Nicholas and Rath had left earlier, following an anonymous tip that Tess had been spotted back in town. With any luck they wouldn't be back until after the procedure had taken place.

When Lonnie was finished she raised her hand to the stones, she focused her powers on the charging the stones. Soon the stones began to glow with energy. Lonnie continued energizing the crystals until they shattered into dust. Lonnie concentrated, soon the energy from the crystals formed into a ball of light. She lowered her hand, and sighed. Lonnie reached out and grasped the ball of energy in her hand. Now everything depended on Khivar being in the right place at the right time.
