1 Chapter 12 The odds
Scott took them to an old abandoned airfield. And in the lockup was Maria tied and bounded to a bed. Michael ran over, desperately trying to free her. Never had she been so pleased to see him, to see them all. But she couldn't help wondering what was install for them. She knew Michael wouldn't be around forever and he was never going to change, but it did show how much he was willing to risk for her. Maybe things would change, but she also knew how much he was needed and belonged back home. Where ever that was, planet green for all she knew. And when he left what would she do, pretend like he'd never existed? How would she explain it to her mum when she eventually arrived home from another escapade? She longed to hold him forever, make everything that had happened in the last few weeks disappear. How could she have been so stupid? Maybe Scott had mind warped her into feeling and thinking those things, stranger things have happened. But at that moment as she looked around, they had never been so far from reality.
"We will get through this together. We have to stick together, save all our energy for when the time comes." Max told them when they were imprisoned alone.
"At the moment, we need to know where we stand, how are we going to get out of this one?" Isobel added.
Everyone knew what they were feeling, what they were experiencing knew their time would come, it was the inevitable. But for how long were they all to be together and what would happen once the royal four arrived back in Antar. A lot seemed to be left unsaid, no one dared to question and no one had any answers.
"If Tess can capture Scott's mind long enough for us to grab the oracles maybe we could get some answers. Scott seems to know more about us then we do."
"And if she fails." Maxwell sensible and thorough till the end.
"I won't, you can count on me."
