Chapter IX-The Ruins
Crow looked angrily at Ambient, then ran back into the shadows. He wouldn't tell the military just yet, he wanted his revenge first.
Back at the crater-camp, Citri was lying in a sleeping bag, her head in Ambient's lap. Ambient sighed. That had been a close one, but he had said what he meant to her and that was all that mattered. He wished Crow hadn't said what he had, or even come at all. He hated Crow with as much hate as he had love for Citri. Lika was trying to make the fire again, to re-cook breakfast, and Brian was seeing to the wellbeing of the zoids. He could see Lika throwing glances at Brian when he wasn't looking and Brian throwing glances when Lika wasn't looking. He had seen this before, and he thought he knew all too well. They each loved the other but didn't know it. Then his attention was drawn back as Citri started to stir. She opened her silver-flecked blue eyes and saw Ambient's face looking down at her. She closed her eyes again.
"I'm sorry, Ambient." She whispered.
"Sorry for what? I know you had no say in the matter." He said with love. But there had been one time when he had doubted.he pushed the thought away, but it kept bugging him. So finally he had to ask, "Did you mean what you said?"
"Did you?" she asked. Ambient shook his head, that was answer enough.
"I didn't mean a word when I told Crow. But I meant every word of what I told you." He said and she reached up and kissed him.
"Hoped you didn't. I didn't want to be kissing the enemy!" she said, and laughed weakly. No more giggles for Citri.
When Citri was ready. They left the crater-camp. The going was very quick, and the rocking of the Blade Liger soon had Citri asleep. In her dream she saw her old organoid, Katrine.
"I am waiting for you, Citri."
"Citri, Citri, are you awake?" It was Lika. Her face was on Citri's right screen.
"Yah, Lika, I'm awake." Citri said with a yawn.
"Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we're approaching some ruins, and they're white." She said.
Citri gulped. They were nearing the ruins of the lab.
Then Ambient's face appeared on Citri's left. "Shall we keep going?"
"No, " Citri said, shaking her head, "I want to stop at the ruins." Ambient frowned, but nodded. He changed course slightly, and Liger followed. A quarter-hour later, they were at the ruins of the transform organoid laboratory. Citri hopped out of her Liger, and everyone hopped out of his or her respective zoid.
Citri began looking for what was left of Katrine, when a blue-silver glow caught her eye. She ran towards it and as she neared the glow lessened. By the time Citri reached the area, the glow was gone, in its place was the head of a small zoid, one she had seen many times before in her past. She knelt down, her hair falling over her face. It was the head of Katrine. She picked it up.
"I didn't believe it when they told me.I thought organoids could never die." she whispered to the head. "Now.you really are gone, Katrine."
Not gone, Citri, inside. Said a voice within her. I am Katrine, and if you had listened to yourself, you would have found me. I may be gone in body, but not in spirit. And besides, you are a good substitute.
"Katrine." Citri whispered. She had known she could change into and organoid that looked like Katrine, and have the feelings, instincts of one, but for Katrine to be inside her.
Citri, listen to your heart.I will all ways be there. then the voice faded into nothingness. Citri stood up, still holding Katrine's head. Ambient was the only one watching her, and when he saw Katrine's head he turned away. Citri looked at the head she had seen for two years and grown to love. She looked deep in her heart like Katrine had told her to do. She found an everlasting love for Ambient, but that wasn't new, and she found she missed her village. Citri made up her mind. She would visit the village, and she had just the plan of how to do it. ---
shorter chappie. Good for me. See you in the next chapter.
