Chapter 4
As I had seen, the following day, we were caught in a raid. We scrambled, children just holding onto any adult they knew, the young ones anyway. A large group of us made it out on the surface before heading underground, the smaller one, which I was in, went under from inside and in the other direction, unknowingly.
The splinter group I was in consisted of myself, Khashoggi, Madonna, Charlotte, Brit and all but three children. My daughter, Tommy Lee, (Madonna and Charlotte's son) and Rama who had managed to stay with his parents. Khashoggi was now responsable for both twins as they had followed him. Brit was now Bowie's only parent around. And the other children had no-one. Mercury, Destiny, Jett and Jovi. Sevn children, four adults. This wasn't going to be easy. But all I had to do now was focus on my terrified niece.
Galileo POV
Storm held Christina, she was three, and she lost her mom for now. I saw it coming, as did Olivia. We both had the dream. I'm not used to those dreams, I normally just hear things. Well, I have watched the occaisional concert, Queen, Bon Jovi and so on. But not very often, but the other night freaked me out. My dad, or, Big Macca, was worried, about Olivia, 'bout everyone, and kinda pissed off we didn't tell him. But he understands we couldn't. Scaramouche, well... Let's just say she isn't herself. Don't get me wrong, she had every faith in my sister, so do I, but she's just being a mother. I try calming her down, but it's no use, she's crying. Scara doesn't cry, it seems unnatural. I hold her in my arms.
I miss you... I miss your smile...
Damn these vioces. Although it was kinda fitting for the situation. I missed her a lot. I wanted my little girl back. Now I knew how my dad felt. He and mom had lost their little girl too.
There was something I wanted to try, but me and Olivia had never done it long distance. the farest we'd ever held a phycic conection between dreams was at opposite ends of the Heartbreak. Guess it was time to try something new. But, not now, after Scaramouche had gone to bed.
Olivia POV
I couldn't sleep, not even with the wieght of Mercury in my lap. I stroke her back as she sleeps. I wasn't expecting to suddenly feel light headed. It was a familiar feeling and I set Mercury without waking her, before my eyes closed and I heared the familiar voice of my brother.
"Sis? You there?"
"Ye', wait, this isn't happening long distance it it?"
"Pretty much. We might not have long, so, I need to know, where do you guys think you are, and is Merc OK? Scara would kill me if I didn't ask."
"She's fine, um, I think we're near the coast, maybe a mile or two in, but we're in a bolthole, so underground for now."
"Alright, we are, around tenish miles from the old Heartbreak where we were. But it's an old building, so dad says we'll be moving asap."
"OK, we'll try to move as soon as we can, but we have seven kids and four adults here Gaz. How's my baby?"
"She's alright now, she was upset, so was Storm. But she stayed strong. We'll have to tr-"
He was cut off as the connection dropped and I felt drained. Giving in I let my eyes close and I slept.
