Chapter 15

Sarah's Decision

As Christian drove in to the hospital parking lot and saw Sarah standing over by the main entrance. He pulled the car over and stopped in front of her and unlocked the door for her.

"Get in and tell me why you didn't want Gabe to come and shimmer you home." Christian said with a little irritation in his voice.

Sarah got in and closed the door. "Because Judson said that I could take the extra cot from the boat for Gabe." Sarah explained.

"Oh sorry for kind of snapping at you. It's just that Gabe looked kind of upset that you wanted me to come and get you. That's all" Christian said.

"Oh I see, well first stop is the "Vast Explorer". Sarah said as Christian put the car in gear and pulled out of the parking lot and back on to the road. Fifteen minutes and a few turns later

Christian pulled up to the vast sailing ship. Chris stopped the car and Sarah jumped out and ran up the gangplank Christian right behind her. She stopped at the door that led to the cabins. She turned the doorknob and found out that it was locked.

"Guess you'll have to wait until tomorrow until you can get the keys from Judson." Christian said as he turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute." Sarah yelled to get Christian's attention. He turned around to see Sarah waving a key in front of his eyes. "Judson gave me and Liz keys to the boat."

She put the key in the keyhole and unlocked the door she went down below and turned on the living room light. She went in to the small kitchen and put some water in the kettle and plugged it in.

"Want some coffee?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, no. What's going on, I thought that we were here for the cot and then leaving." Christian said walking over to Sarah's side.

"Christian tomorrow I'm going to move back to the boat. So Gabe won't have any need for the cot." Sarah said pouring two cups of coffee. She handed one to Christian.

"What do you mean your moving back to the boat? I thought that you were going to stay with me and Gabe?" Christian said confused.

"Listen Chris, Mac's coming home in a few days and I want to be there for her and help her out.

Besides I work for Mac and Judson now. Remember?" Sarah said walking in to the living room

and sitting down on the sofa.

"Sarah I understand but how are you going to break the news to Gabe? He'll be really upset." Christian said with a frown.

"I'll explain everything when we get back. He thinks that he did something wrong. I heard him when I was waiting for you." Sarah said.

"WHAT. Why would he think something like that." Christian said with disbelief. "If he does then he could have another attack and and and."

"What do you mean another attack? Chris tell me what happened. Tell me everything that you know." Sarah said sternly.

"Alright then but you can't interrupt." Chris said as he turned to face his sister. "It all started when Gabe and I were only 10 years old. Gabe and me where playing outside when Gabe wanted one of the toys that was half way across the lawn. He said that he pictured it coming to him and it did. He didn't know how he did it an either did I. Next year Gabe was riding his bike when a out of control car came speeding around the corner right at Gabe. I flung out my hands and the car stopped. Gabe jumped into the ditch just before the car un-froze and continued speeding down the road." Christian explained to Sarah

"So that's how you two discovered that you had powers?" Sarah asked.

"Yep. Sarah you need to understand this there are these beings called the Elders they watch over young people called Protectors. When I was 22 the elders came to me and summoned me to a place called the Great Meeting Place. There they told me that Gabe and I were to become protectors. Gabe was still to young and so was I. They told me that Gabe and I had powers. Mine are to freeze time and space and to blow things up on a dime. Gabe's are to shimmer which you have witnessed and telekinesis."

"Okay just let me get my head around this. Gabe left Mac and Judson to become a Protector, right?" Sarah asked.

"Yes that's right."

"So does that mean that I'll become a protector also?"

"No that's the thing. If mom hadn't given you up at birth then yes you would be, but for some

strange reason you still got your power." Chris said.

"Make that powers." Sarah said with a smile.

"What do you mean powers?"

"When I went in to get Mac and Judson the door was locked and I couldn't get it opened. So some where deep down inside I found this power and I levitated up and kicked the door opened." Sarah said with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me and Gabe this before?" Christian said.

"Well with everything so crazy and all I decided to tell you guys later when things calmed down." She said.

"Oh I see." Chris said. "Well I better get back to Gabe and tell him what you just told me. I'll save to a trip and bring your thing over tomorrow. You got cloths here?" Christian asked.

"Uh yeah I do. Thanks so I'll see you tomorrow bring Gabe with you. I have the Land Rover so I can pick Mac up in the next couple of days." Sarah said following Christian up the stairs and out in to the cold night air. Christian gave her a hug and a small kiss on the cheek before walking down the gangplank and into his car. He waved and then started the engine and drove down the dock out of sight. Sarah walked back inside and closed the door and walked back down the stairs. She sat on the sofa and fell asleep.

As Christian pulled into the driveway he saw Gabe come out on to the deck and lean against the railing. He saw Christian get out but didn't see Sarah.

"Chris, where's Sarah, she's not with you." Gabe said as Christian walked up the steps and on to the deck. He walked past Gabe and went into the house and sat down on the sofa.

"She stayed at the boat." Christian said.

"What boat." Gabe asked his voice starting to show nervousness.

"Calm down, she moving back to the "Vast Explorer", Mac comes home in a few days so she's going to stay. I'm taking her things over tomorrow morning and she wants you to come." Chris said. "And she got a new active power, she can levitate."

"Why is she leaving I thought that she was going to leave with us?" Gabe said.

"Gabe she works for "Adventure Inc" remember? She has a home and a job." Chris pointed out.

"I know but we just met, and all. I just thought that she would stick around for a bit that's all." Gabe said walking away and going into his room. He fell on to his bed and fell asleep within ten minutes.

Back out in the living room Christian was still sitting on the sofa wondering if that had been the right way to tell Gabe that his sister wasn't coming home.

In the hospital Mac was just waking up. Her eyes fluttered open when she saw a figure standing over by the window. The figure turned around and she saw that it was Judson.

"What are you doing up already?" Mac demanded.

"I came to see you, how you holding up?" Judson asked as he walked over and sat at the edge of her bed.

"Alright." Mackenzie whispered as Judson moved closer until they kissed. When they pulled back Judson whispered.

"I love you Mackenzie Preven, and I want you to know that."

"I love you too Judson Cross." She said. "Wait a minute where's Sarah and Liz. I remember Sarah coming in and getting us but Liz wasn't there."

"Mac Liz is dead. She died in a shooting." Judson explained.

"WHAT, but she was so young."

"I know." Judson said.
