Chapter 18
"Not another word out of you!" the Martian guard sneered toward Marvin and Martin as he slammed the cell door, "and to think, we actually trusted you!"
"No one asked for your opinion!" Martin couldn't help but blurt out. This was the same guard that gave him trouble over seeing Martha the week before. The guard stormed off as Martin relaxed his anger to a timid frustration. He glared over toward the window as he couldn't help but feel his brother's pain.
Marvin's eyes became glassy as he glanced out into the city before him.
"It's over", he choked out feeling desperate and weak. The young Martian rose up from his spot as he slumped onto his cot. Marvin gave an immense sigh as he felt himself welling up. His lip quivered as he felt tears of sadness stream down his face. Curling himself up into a helpless ball of Martian, Martin could hear a faint whimper in his brother's voice.
"I failed you mom", he could hear Marvin cry softly.
"Hey", Martin spoke lively as he could feel himself welling up too, "on the bright side, Venna's gonna be alright!" Marvin felt his stomach sank. He didn't even think about the danger that Venna was still in.
"He's gonna kill her", Marvin rolled over toward his brother; "I know it!"
"Who?"
"Who ever that guy was", Marvin rose up from the bed, "the one that turned us in."
"How?"
"He turned her in, remember", Marvin felt a surge of strength flow though him, "I've got to get to her before it's too late!"
"Its nightfall Marv", Martin tried to ease his worries, "we need to get some rest!"
"No!" Marvin felt a rush of panic in his mind, "we don't have time! The light is going to strike in less than twenty four hours!"
"What LIGHT?" Martin jumped up exasperated, "I've been hearing things about it, but no one's telling me anything! Not even Martha........... I mean mom!"
Marvin opened his mouth to begin as a voice sounded off from across the prison.
"Marvin your chance isn't though for you!" the voice echoed like a song, Marvin knew it was his mom crying out, "Venna is waiting Marvin. You will be set free soon. Take heed in everything that happens within the next seven hours." Marvin smiled in relief; his mother was telling them exactly what they needed to hear.
"Martin!" she began once more, "protect your bother. It is your job to make sure he makes it back to Venus, or we are done for!" Martin grasped the bars to his cell door in alert.
"What is going to happen?" he shouted out.
"You're brother is the key in a prophecy made two thousand years ago. He is the only one that can save our existence. He has the mark Martin, and he must use it!" Martin glared down toward his brother as Marvin was observing the purple mark on his palm.
"It was a gift", he explained, "for saving her life."
The shouting stopped as a crowd of prisoners cheered out in glory within their cells. Marvin and Martin glared toward each other with a new found hope that they may get though this thing after all.
"So when is this supposed to happen?" the young Martin glared toward his brother.
"I have to be on Venus in thirteen hours. There is a cave that I have to visit. I have to step into the life force of the planet to counteract against the attack on us."
"So this is what this is all about", Martin couldn't believe the revelation that had came to him, "this whole thing has been about you. From the very beginning when mom placed you in my arms." Marvin nodded his head.
"Pretty wild hu?" Martin shook his head in frustration as he smiled down to his brother.
"Let's get some rest first", he took the top bunk as the two fell asleep.
Mean while in her cell, Maggie smiled wildly toward the response that she had received. She slumped on her cane toward her bed, as she laid to rest. The elderly woman gave a huge sigh as she glanced out her window one last time. Thoughts were racing through her mind like a movie without sound.
"I told you Melvin", she though out loud with a victorious grin, "he was the one." The woman gave a chuckle as she shut her eyes.
"My work here is done", she gave a small sigh of relief as she fell into her forever slumber.
