Part 8

Her Past

(Leon)

We watched as a vision formed. Sam pulled another vile from her pocket. "Hold still." She said as she dropped some of the liquid on my ears and then did the same to herself.

"What's that for?"

"So we can hear thoughts from the vision."

"Right."

We watched.

Dawson and Brontie stood next to a smaller form of Sam. Their fur was still wet from following Sam into the river.

"What do we do now, Dawson?" Brontie said to the other Great Dane.

"We get her off this desolate planet." Dawson replied as he sniffed Sam's sleeping form. She stirred slightly as she muttered in her sleep.

"How?"

"Like this." Dawson said as he used one of his paws to pull a necklace from Sam's soaked shirt. He set it down on the ground still looped around Sam's neck. He tapped it a few times and the three figures vanished.

"That's it. We've got to follow them. They're still on the planet if my senses don't deceive me. We leapt into the jeep and raced. Sam pointed the way following her senses. We finally came to a stop in front of a cave. "Inside." Sam whispered.

The vision had moved. We watched Brontie and Dawson sitting next to the sleeping form of the small child.

"We'll take the CommandFox with us." Dawson said as he dragged Sam by her collar. He slowly pulled Sam into the cockpit of the CommandFox.

"Let's get her out of here." Dawson stated. "I really want to get off of this planet." He tapped Sam's necklace again and they where gone.

"I've always wondered how I got into the cockpit of the CommandFox. Now I know. Dawson was the one that got me off of Earth. I just wish I had known sooner." Sam sighed. She stood there for a moment and thought. I waited patiently.

"Let's get going back to the river. I need to pick up on Nate's trail." We started towards the jeep when an explosion sounded near by.

"What was that?" I asked as we regained our balance.

"Area scanned…" we heard in the distance.

"Uh-oh." Sam looked at me, her eyes wide. "Let's get out of here."

"Good idea. Let's move." We dove into the jeep and raced in the opposite direction that we had heard the Judge.

"I think we're out of the battle area," Sam sighed.

"Don't get too cocky. We've got company." Three Saber Tigers stood in our path. "We must have gotten another battle."

"We've got company behind us as well." Sam said as she looked over her shoulder. "Leana, and Bit are coming this way. I wonder where Brad and Naomi are."

"Did you say 'Leana'?" I asked panic crossing my face.

"Yeah, why?" Sam asked. "Never mind, I just remembered." She moaned as she looked over her shoulder yet again.

"Tell me when this nightmare is over." I said.

"I think it's only going to get worse." She replied with a grimace.

"Sam, Leon, where are you two." Dad's voice said.

"Where in the middle of the battle field in a race for our lives." I said.

"Well, get back to the Hover Cargo, on the double!"

"Leon, things just got worse." Sam said as she looked over her shoulder for the thousandth time.

"Leana didn't-" I started to say.

"She did." She replied with a look of pleading despair crossing her face.

"HOLD ON!" I leaned over and pulled Sam onto the ground. A missile hit directly behind us. I leapt out of the jeep towing Sam with me. I couldn't keep a hold of Sam and lost her as I somersaulted through the air. When I hit the ground I warded of the darkness that was creeping in on the edge of my vision. When I located her I uttered a short cry of sorrow before I blacked out.
