Hey people! This is chapter 7, though it's a bit short, I know. So enjoy! (I think the chapter name is sucky.)
I would say that I don't own Ben 10, which is true, but read the first five chapters to see that, okay? However, I do own characters that do not appear in the series.
Chapter 7: A Conversation
"Aldam?"
"What is it?" asked the flame-powered figure, turning himself around to face Miles, the second-youngest alien on the spaceship, since the youngest was Mile's brother, Lightspeed. However, Lightspeed was only the second-youngest in the family, as the youngest brother, Speedy, was back on their home planet Kinet.
Miles took a deep breath and said, "Do you think we'll ever find them?"
The Pyronite, as he was from the planet Pyros, gave him a weak smile. "I'm absolutely sure. Are you that worried about your sister?"
The Kineceleran nodded. "Indeed I am, but I also worry about the others that are with her. I have heard a lot about them, but they are young, and they don't deserve such imprisonment inside a powerful device like the . . ." Miles stopped, as it killed him to hear or say the name.
Aldam nodded in agreement, but he looked sad as he did. Miles noticed this, of course, so he said, "Are you thinking about him?"
"Yes," Aldam replied, his expression changing from sad to angry, "If my son hadn't run away like that, I wouldn't be looking for him."
"Same with the rest of us," Miles said. "Though some didn't run away. Like . . . well, you know."
The Pyronite gave a weak smile once again. "Ah, you are talking of Nicodemus, no?"
Miles nodded. "I never knew anyone of Renatus's species who actually cared for their own kind. Then again, I don't know anyone of Renatus's kind."
"Ectonurites are very strange," said Aldam, "But they are brave, like young Nicodemus, who didn't run away from anything. I wish I had a son like that."
The Kinceleran cocked his head to the side, his long ponytail revealing itself from behind his back. "Aldam, what did your son run away from?"
Aldam sighed as he turned himself around again, his back to Miles.
"His future."
The young Kinceleran, sensing that their conversation was over, sped off quietly, leaving the Pyronite to his thoughts.
Chapter 7 is done:) Geez, it was so short, but since I got exams, I had to write shorter than usual.
Reviews are welcome:)
Til next time!
