1 Chapter 14 A new adventure
We reached the place where all the energy seemed to be coming from; there was a feeling of doubt in the air. To believe what they were doing was right, to understand where they belonged, what to do next and how they were going to say goodbye. It was their most challenging task yet. How can you explain to the person you care for the most, and those you leave behind whom can't possibly know what you've been through these past years just waiting for this to happen. Knowing it would one day, like death really just lying dormant in your soul burning away until there's nothing left to say but thank you. How pitiful, thank you for what? For the time I've had here, for the experiences I've shared with all of you? Or the general feelings of angst, sadness and loneliness we leave behind. No one knows what to say but what they've said before. It's just the beginning.
We gathered in the circle and place the oracles in corners, Michael and Maria holding one, Isobel and Alex, Tess and Kyle, and Max and Liz. They all knew that if they stayed on Earth, all hell would roam free, they would all be in more danger then before, and they risked experimentation.
"Max, there's no need to say anything, we all knew the consequences if we get involved and I've never regretted it."
"I don't know what you're going to say to people when they ask."
"We won't say anything."
"You know I'll never fall in love again, even if Tess if my wife and my destiny."
"That is your decision. I can't tell you what to feel."
"I only wish we'd had more time."
"I wonder what you can do up there on Antar. It could be like Mars, then you always get those things on Sabrina the Teenage witch where they're all skiing and stuff."
"I'm going to miss you to Kyle."
"Yeah, I meant to say that. Sorry things didn't work out with Max."
"It could still happen. I guess I shouldn't hope anymore, I only end up getting hurt."
"Take care of yourself, whatever happens I'm sure it'll be for the best. I know we'll never forget you."
"I'm glad. I've always said how much I wanted to go home, just didn't realise I'd make such a loyal friend. I'll keep my spirits high, Buddha!"
"Laugh all you want." He smiled as she squeezed his hand; he was loosing a sister although she wasn't average that's for sure.
Alex and Isobel didn't say anything but kissed and hugged for the final time.
"Maria, I……Maria." Not for the first time she took it upon herself to do the talking or lack of as it would seem. She kissed him hard on the lips, wanting him never to forget the times they'd spent together. Powerful flashes fixated in his mind, he knew they would last for eternity. Simple things but times that he'd never forget. She had been the only person that had loved him wholly and unconditionally. She never gave up and always made him feel worthy. Or what or to whom he had no idea, but he had always felt secure and comfort when around her, everything else, all the trouble that happened she always seemed to find a way of sharing the load, even though she didn't do that physically.
"Michael, I love you, I'm in love with you. There isn't anything else to say."
"I've had a secret I've being dying to tell you since I met you."
"If it's more of your arrogant shit."
"Maria you mean the world to me, and I mean that. The whole bloody universe. I've been in love with you and have grown even more so since you first opened your mouth. Nothing could be further from the truth." And at that second for everyone, the moment was perfect, and they had all shared it together.
