The Expirate and the Outlaws.

Chapter 6: Friendship.

Zoë looked up, she could see the pirates, surrounding her and Zeyraa, Zeyraa was injured, and needed help to walk, There were too many pirates guarding them to escape, Gene had his caster loaded, probably with an explosive bullet, Zeyraa had a gun to her head and the pirate with the gun was Zeyraa's ex-partner, for big missions. Zoë had an idea, she said something through the intercom, only Gene heard it, he then switched guns, he fired, several pirates were killed and injured. Zoë leapt up, grabbed Zeyraa's bag of a pirate at the front of the guard, and the pistol of Leon, Zoë threw the bag towards Zeyraa, she caught it looked inside all the guns were there, Zeyraa pulled out a gun that wasn't hers and threw it at Zoë, It was Zoë's. Zoë helped Zeyraa up, and put she put her arm around her shoulders and she helped Zeyraa walk towards the exit, Once they made it out the castle the moonlit grounds were spooky, they walked towards the forest, that they had had the battle.

When they made it to the forest, the went into a cave, Melfina was already there, Zoë sat Zeyraa, against the wall of the cave, she ripped a scarf from the bottom of her bag and wrapped them around the wounds on each leg. They weren't serious, they slept there in the cave the night, Aisha and Zoë took it in turns to keep look out and to keep the fire going. The night seemed to last for weeks.

At last the night had ended, both Zoë and Aisha fell asleep on the job, when Zoë woke up she looked towards where Zeyraa was, but there was no one there, Zoë ran over, but was careful not to touch the others though, when she got to where Zeyraa had been there was a note, and dried blood, from her injuries, the note was in a code that only she and Zeyraa knew but it said: Zoë, I am very grateful of what you have done for me. I have to go though, I don't want to get you or the others killed, I want you to look after the others. I am free at last. Don't come looking for me and don't try to track me, I am going somewhere special to me. From now on, I have no phone no., no address, I will keep on running, they will never find me then. To help you remember me, I have left you a half a platinum pendant on a chain. Your half is engraved with my name, Zeyraa Conner. My half has your name, Zoë Evans. If the two halves were put together, it would make a wolf's face. I hope we meet again and I hope we stay best friends forever.
Zeyraa

* When Zoë had finished reading she looked at where the note was, and sure enough, half a wolves face, that was made of platinum, engraved with Zeyraa's name, was neatly placed there with a chain, next to it, Zoë picked them up, threaded the chain through the loop and put it over her head. Gene and the others began to wake up, "Where's Zeyraa.nya.?" said Aisha, Zoë explained what the note said, Zoë knew where she was going, if they got to where Zeyraa's ship was, they might see her before they left. Zoë explained that she had to find her to tell her one last thing; the others said that they would help her. They left for the launch site, Zeyraa's ship (Midnight) and the Outlaw star were both there. They had to hurry.
