Chapter 32 Five
They told me everything that happened. Where Sam was and what happened during the battle. Malcolm Goode stood there awkwardly staring at us not saying a word which I think he was glad about. I know losing someone is hard and you just want to be left alone. I start to wonder what TK would do in this situation. Would he go after Setrakus Ra or our ships?
When I gain enough strength to stand up I hug Marina fiercely after she healed Eight. Ella stands with Eight and he holds her hand like an older brother.
"Thank you." I say quietly into her ear. She pulls back and smiles at me sweetly.
"Don't ever do that again. If you think having your scar burnt into my skin and then getting burnt off was fun. You're insane. She then shows me her leg and I see a large scar covering where mine burnt into her skin. Nine hasn't let go of me since he resuscitated me and hasn't said a word which starts to worry me.
Six looks around the battle kicking bits of rubble angrily. She starts to walk up to us.
"We have to go after him." She says angrily. Malcolm puts his hand up like a kid in school and looks at us a little wary. I nod at him and he begins to talk.
"We will but now we have more pressing matters to deal with. Your ship. The Mogadorians know where it is and will destroy it ruining your chance to get home. There's a device on that ship that reacts with the tablet you found. It will give you the advantage in the war. It can track Setrakus movements." He smiles. My mind reals, if we know where Setrakus Ra is we can choose when to fight him and when to run.
Six nods and starts to walk through the mostly deserted base. The smart Mogadorians ran, the others were killed.
We all follow her. My hand in Nines, we fall a bit behind the others and walk slowly. He still hasn't talked and I worry he's shell-shocked like world war 1 soldiers used to be.
"So how scared out of ten were you that I was going to die?" I ask jokingly trying to break the ice. He smiles at me and I squeeze his hand.
"Three." He replies. I stop walking and he looks at me.
"Seriously? You were balling thinking that I was going to die. You cried, I can still feel your tears on my cheeks." I say teasing him. He sighs.
"I was crying because you punched me." I look at him expectantly and he starts to crack. "Fine I'll give you a six." I playfully punch him on the arm and he laughs and pulls me in for a long kiss. We have to be called by the others to split us apart.
"Whatever. I know I was a ten." We start to walk forward again into the sunlight where I see some of the chimera. The chimera run up to us and start licking us manically. I rub a couple of them along their backs and start to miss Lars.
I see John with Sarah telling her what happened to Sam. She looks horrified and hugs John refusing to let go of him and I briefly make eye contact with her wondering if she remembers what I said to her. Despite losing Sam I know we'll get him back. I start to get in the shotgun seat of the car and prepare to leave this place forever.
Setrakus Ra better be worried. We're together now and we are strong. We will win this war and we will return to Lorien.
