elle6778--Thank you for reviewing, about Adam, well, he is Max and Alec's 'son' afterall...

Three months. Three long months without any news from Adam. At least they knew he was alive.

"We're not doing the right thing." Max suddenly said.

Her behaviour was more and more odd.

"What do you mean? Do you want us to abandon?" Mole inquired.

"No. But it's not the way to find him…"

"Find him! But we already know where he is?" Mole added angrily.

"But we can't go and get him, right? I think I should accept that he's dead now."

"But he's alive, the tracer is still on…"

"Physically he's alive, but I don't think he's still on our side. And if he still is, soon, he'll switch side. It's the way things must happen."

"So we let him die!" Alec voiced his anger.

"It wasn't easy for me to make that decision Alec! But it needs to be done. He's not our son. He never was. I know that now."

"Granted he's not mine, but he's yours," Alec argued.

Alec didn't understand, she didn't felt him anymore. Over the last months, slowly the presence of Adam in her head was weak; the first days had been hell for him. She felt it. But then, somehow she knew they changed tactics with him. Bit by bit, he forgot to call her at night. Bit by bit he let her go. She knew there was nothing she could do about it. He had succumb to the dark side.

"I just helped him get into this world. That's all," she said sadly.

"She doesn't feel him anymore. The way she feels all of us," Sam spoke up.

A long silence fell upon them. As if they were all accepting the situation, and remained quiet a minute to mourn Adam. Their Adam. For it was certain that one day they would face him in a battle. A battle none of them were sure they would win.

"So what do you propose?" Mole cut in the silence.

"I know what they want. And they'll soon send him to get it. He won't be alone, but it'll be our best shot. If they get what they want, we're all dead."

"And what is that they want?"

"To live forever, power. More and more power," she spat coldly.

"So where should they find that?"

"That, I don't know. We need to find that place before they do."

"They have thousand of years ahead of us!" stated Luke.

"I know. That's why I need you to question the familiars on base, even those who were close to the last priestess. The familiars must know. The Conclave must know."

Three hours later they had the name of an island : Madagascar.

"So what do we do now?" inquired Mole as he was chomping on his cigar.

"We go there," intervened Sam. "Something is going to happen there."

"What do you feel exactly?" asked her twin.

"Well, I had recurring dreams these last days. I didn't tell you coz with Adam and all you have enough to think about. The word Awakening is always coming back, and I see Adam in those dreams. I think they created him specifically for that event."

"You know the Familiars, us…" started Karish. "Well we only wanted some of the humans to die, the weakest. The rest would have become our slaves. But the Seekers… It's a different story. Not that being a slave would be good…I mean…"

"I understand Karish," reassured Max.

"The fact is the Seekers want the planet to be their own. The reason why there's so many of us familiars in the US is not a coincidence. We had to keep an eye on them. Some of our legends tell us about how the Seekers will unleash a power that will destroy humanity as we know it. It'll leave the planet in their grasp. I don't think they would use a biological virus like us. I think they have something as strong as nuke."

"I think you're right. So we must stop Adam before he reaches his destination, at Fort Dauphin," concluded Max.

"How many Seekers do you think will be there?" asked Alec.

"All of them : It's logical."

"Ok. They must be scattered around the world. They'll have to come out if they want to get there," guessed Max.

"What if they have an underground trail like we do?"

"They'll have to get to the surface for the Awakening. The place they're searching for, it's at the surface," said Karish.

"You've been there?" asked Jon.

"No. Actually I worked with Sandeman before…the Manticore project. He had found the place but we never went there. When he betrayed us, I told everything that I knew to the Conclave. All he wanted was the survival of our species and yours I guess."

"Well knowing all that won't change anything," said Mole.

"What do you mean?" snapped Dix.

"What I mean is, who will face the little boy, coz when he was here, he was already stronger than half of us in this room." He looked at each one of them. "So how are we suppose to defeat him if he's stronger than us, not mentioning the fact that according to Karish, all the Seekers will all be gathered there!"

It was true. They weren't prepared for a war this early. And over the last months they had several encounters with the Seekers and out of 10 fights, they only won one.

"I'll take him down," said Max with determination.

"Max…"

"I don't think you should do it," snapped Mole.

"Don't worry about me. I know what I'm supposed to do."

As Adam and Tilia were about to resurface, Adam put his partner to a stop.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

"You're just nervous. Everything's going to be fine."

He nodded and reached the surface.

The contrast between the constant darkness and the mind blowing sun took him aback. He had to wait several minutes before his eyes were accustomed to the light again.

The first thing he saw was Tilia shot between the eyes.

If you hated it, loved it, or liked it...please review...It'll help me improve my writing.
