Okay I really hated chapter eight......I have no idea what that was so I
decided to redo the chapter and make it something normal. But I am still
keeping a lot of the information, just working on a new storyline.
Vanesse walked into the kitchen after sleeping off her hangover. Tommy had gone out with some of the others and left her a note. Zhane was still asleep in her room and Jase and Skull were sleeping in the couch. The house was quiet for the first time since they had all arrived. She walked over to her messenger bag and picked it up. There were a few quiet moments to do some reading by the pool and she was not about to give that up. She tiptoed out of the house and took a seat by the pool. She sat reading for an hour before anyone returned to the bed and breakfast.
"Hi Anne."
"Hey Trey, what's up?" Trey of Wisdom walked out into the pool area.
"We were looking for you actually."
"Me? Why?"
"We were all thinking about going to the carnival in town for the afternoon and wanted to know if you were interested?"
"Sure. When are we leaving?"
"Couple hours. We all kind of broke into different directions for lunch."
"Sounds good."
Vanesse looked around the complex. The attack had been swift and no one was prepared for the brutality that lay around them. Tommy led the class down the skywalk to another building and then on to the lawn. Darkness had fallen only an hour ago, but there was hardly any light. Tommy led the class away from the main fighting that was taking place between the ROTC and the invaders.
"Alright guys, I need you all to be really quiet. We are going to try to make it to the woods over there and then to the cave on the edge of the University property. If we get split up, meet everyone there."
Vanesse looked to her fiancé and squeezed his hand. "Ready?"
"Always Love." Vanesse melted at the strong British accent that met her ears. It was always much stronger when he was stressed or tired.
Vanesse look forward and then back at her fiancé. Only it wasn't Michael. It was some sort of monster. It was red and had a chest that reminded her of a clam with teeth. Vanesse kicked the monster away. A fight ensued and Vanesse was starting to run out of energy. Vanesse blocked a slash towards her head with the sword but felt it slash her side. She immediately fell to the ground.
"Give a message to Tommy. We will defeat Earth." With a flash he was gone.
Blood flowed out of the wound as she walked towards the cave.
Vanesse could see the cave from where she lay and pulled herself along the ground. She was about thirty feet from the cave when the world started to grow fuzzy and the cave disappeared from view.
Vanesse slowly regained consciousness. She was inside the cave with the others. Tommy looked down and noticed that she had finally regained consciousness. She had been out for over six hours. She reached her hand towards him.
"Hey Angel." He brushed a curl away from her face.
"He told me to tell you that Earth will be defeated." Vanesse gave Tommy the cryptic message and then lost consciousness again.
Vanesse awoke with a start. It was the same nightmare she had been having since the attack on Earth. She had spent a couple weeks in the hospital after the attack. She had an infection in the wound and was in and out of consciousness for the first couple days. During the night in the cave Tommy had told her stories about his life as a ranger.
It was then that she understood his need to learn about paleontology and finally she learned that his theories were the birth of what he lovingly referred to as dinotechnology.
Tommy walked out into the pool area. "How are you feeling?"
"Better." She replied. "I should go wake up Zhane." She walked past him before Tommy could reply.
"Sure thing Angel." Tommy replied in a whisper as he watched her walk into the bed and breakfast. "Sure thing." He smiled thinking about the newly emerging couple.
"Zhane." Vanesse shook the silver ranger's shoulder.
"I don't wanna get up."
"We're going to the carnival."
"What?" Zhane sat up.
"We're going to the carnival."
"When?"
"Soon, so wake up." She smiled and walked out of the room. She walked out to find Ashley and Andros sitting at the table. An instant smile came to her face. They were the most adorable couple that she had ever seen. Andros was so attentive to Ashley and Ashley adored Andros. "Hey guys."
"Hey Anne." Andros replied.
"Look at your hair. They did an incredible job with it." Ashley reached across the table and pulled one of Anne's longer tresses towards her.
"Thanks." Anne blushed. She never knew what to say when someone gave her a compliment about her looks. Michael used to compliment her every so often just to watch her squirm. She had been thinking about Michael a lot lately. His parents had called about a week ago to check on her. Vanesse's parents had died ten years ago and they were the closest thing to parents she had and they in turn thought of her as their child, especially since their only son was gone.
Jason and Skull walked into the kitchen. "What have we done to ourselves?" Jason asked as he opened the cupboard and grabbed a glass for water.
"Had a really fun night and are now paying for it?" Skull replied.
"Very true." Zhane replied walking into the kitchen and towards the fridge. He pulled out an apple and stood behind Anne.
"Alright, let's get going." Tommy stood up and every one followed he and Kat out the door.
"Tommy!" A voice called across the parking lot.
"Kim! Billy! Hey guys, what's up?" Tommy waved to Kim and Billy.
"We were going to check out the carnival." Billy replied.
"Why don't you guys join us?" Rocky asked.
"Sounds like fun." Kim replied.
"Kim, Billy, this is Vanesse, my roommate from college." Tommy introduced the former rangers to his roommate. The large group made their way to the carnival. A person dressed in dark clothing followed behind.
