A/N: I apologize for the slight slip I had last chappie. I am mainly an Arty/Holly writer and this is my first novel length non-romance. I promise there shall be no more Arty/Holly pairing.
After several long, boring hours, Judith was allowed to go home. Mulch and Holly offered to bring her, and she was so tired she couldnt say anything.
When they got there, Holly brought her to the door. "Does your mother know that this has been happening?"
Judith shook her head.
Holly sighed. "Well, I cant say I blame you. Those boys...I knew thier fathers. And I'll bet they grew up hearing terrible things about your family. But your uncle...he was great. He was a lot like a father to us."
Judith just nodded. She was exhausted, and all she really wanted was to get to sleep. She leaned on the cane they had given her at the hospital.
Holly seemed to notice. "Listen, the LEP have authorized a visa for you. So you can complete the ritual. Would it be alright...if I go with?"
Judith looked at her in surprise. No one had ever wanted to do anything with her. Even her mother had always been busy. She nodded, smiling slightly.
Holly beamed. "Good. Will you be alright getting around?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just need some rest."
"Okay. See you tomorrow." She turned and ran back to the car.
Once Judith was in her room, she collapsed on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. It was a holographic projection, showing the night sky. She sighed gently. What was she going to do? Things were getting worse by the minute. At least she had something to look forward to. For once. Shaking her head, reached under her bed with difficulty, and pulled the box out. There must be something…
Searching through the many papers inside, she finally found what she was looking for and began to read;
Major Trouble Kelp
He was a father to us all
He never said to flee
His orders were always fair
His home was the LEP
He was true to his men
Disrespectful to none
He was never afraid
Now his time is done
We will always remember
How moral he was
His memory lives on
In what the LEP does
She wiped fresh tears from her eyes. This man, Julius Root. He sounded so honorable. She had never thought of anyone in her family as honorable. But why couldn't she remember him? She had been ten when he died (about three by human standards.) If this man had been her uncle, why couldn't she remember him? She thought hard, trying to remember something. Anything. She was filled with a fiery anger. Why hadn't she been told? She had every right to know. Flipping furiously through the rest of the papers, she found something that caught her eye. A small black video projector. Frowning, she opened it and pressed the play button.
A/N: Short, as always. Unfortunately, all chapters shall be between short and semi-short. For many reasons I don't feel like explaining. But anyways, review please!
