"Oh."

Was Veronica's only response as she absorbed what she had just been told. The others just looked towards the floor. During their trip, Roxton noticed how compared to Marguerite he'd known, the future Marguerite didn't complain at all, and never seemed to lose speed or stamina in her pace. He assumed that with the death of the others, and the destruction of the tree-house, that part of her fiery spirit had died along with them. Suddenly a motor vehicle came zooming at them, with two young men in the seats, guns held high. Marguerite's men and the others quickly pulled out their weapons, ready to attack, when Marguerite held up her hand,

"I'll handle this."

"What do you mean handle?" Veronica asked uneasy, seeing the grin on Jacqueline face. As the car came closer, the others saw the fire in Marguerite's eyes as the vehicle exploded, sending pieces flying, while killing the two men inside. Marguerite only stood there as the others ducked in fear. Once they got up seeing the flaming pieces of scrap metal the others stood in shock, as Challenger walked up to Marguerite with intrigue,

"I was wondering if you could shed light on how it is possible you made that vehicle detonate like it just did?"

Marguerite only shook her head, brushing him off.

"You couldn't comprehend it the first time I explained it to you, and right now it would be no different."

&&&&Once the sun started to set, Isaac declared, "no point in wandering in the dark, we should rest up till morning. "

"Be up at dawn or we'll leave without you." Marguerite said sternly to the group as she sat on a log.

"Marguerite up a dawn, she's definitely not our Marguerite." Challenger quietly joked to Roxton and Veronica, which he received a small grin in return. The rest of the group rested for the night, but Marguerite hadn't moved from her spot. Roxton couldn't sleep and hesitantly walked over to Marguerite noticing her eyes were closed, but she wasn't sleeping. "Mind if I ask what you are doing by yourself?" Roxton asked, trying to lighten the empty mood that was between them. She then opened her eyes,

"trying to keep myself from killing you."

Roxton disturbed by Marguerite's outburst suddenly poured the questions that were clouding his mind, and driving him insane.

"Marguerite, how did this all happen? Was Zoth like Finn said? How did you gain the powers, to do whatever you did to that car? And what caused you to go against this bloody Zoth in the first place..?"

Before he could continue, Marguerite, burst out,

"It was because of you John, I did it all for you!"

Sounding like the Marguerite he once knew.

&&&& Zoth telepathically ordered his men to go to the so-called labor camp, which was actually just an empty cave, which was now being covered with Zoth's men.

&&&& Jacqueline quietly crept out of her bedding, as she loaded her guns and attached her sword and was about to walk off when Isaac suddenly woke up,

"where are you going off so late?"

"Not you too." She grumbled, and then realized it wasn't her brother that she was angry at. Sighing she continued.

"If you must know I was just going to use the restroom, all right?"

"Be careful?" He said, falling back asleep. She bent down to kiss his forehead, as she left, to fulfill her plan.

To be continued….. Remember the more reviews I get, the quicker I post. A/N he, he, blowing up things is a fun way to vent, j/k, it makes me think of that episode with the blue ice men and how Marguerite and Challenger were irritated over having to blow up everything.
