HI! Last chapter I said I'd update quickly because it was a cliffhanger and I felt bad. Well, here it is. I hope you enjoy it.

Also, just because I updated a week later doesn't mean updates are going back to weekly. Still fortnightly guys /:D sorry...

Here it is! Also, a clue- "speech written in italics is being said telepathically by Ben."

Lost And Found ch6

Replaced

Rook frowned to the girl in front of him, not understanding exactly what a boyfriend was.

"Excuse me?" he asked her with an eyebrow cocked slightly. Julie shot Rook a glare as she had to now repeat herself so the alien understood what she was saying. Instead of repeating herself, as Julie was not in the mood she just glared at him.

"Do any of the aliens here speak English?!" she spat as Rook continued to look at her confusedly. Gwen stepped between the two and pointed menacingly at Julie. "Julie, leave or I'll make you!" she threatened the girl. Julie just directed her glare towards the red head.

"He is my boyfriend and I want to see him!" she yelled.

"Please keep your voice down Julie Yomato, I believe there is an earth saying called 'inside voices'," Rook tried smiling to calm the dark haired girl down, but this did nothing but anger her further.

"Shut up alien!" she screamed and tried to walk passed him. She shrieked when a large purple energy wall blasted in front of her and blocked her way.

"Don't even think about it Julie!" Gwen hissed with a hand raised to hold the wall. "He's not your boyfriend any more!"

Julie then began to make a sobbing sound, but her eyes were dry so Rook imagined she was faking. "I love Ben and I want to see him! Why do you hate me so much Gwen?! You don't blame me for him going missing do you?!" the girl fought back a sob.

Gwen leaned forward and hissed through her grit teeth, "I don't hate you because he went missing, I hate you because of how quickly you moved on."

Julie's sad expression faded into a fierce one. "Herve?" she scoffed. "So what? I thought Ben was dead! I needed someone to fill in the hole I had in my-"

"Heart?!" Gwen cut Julie off. By now Gwen was fuming with rage and her face was beginning to go a deep shade of red. "You don't have a heart Julie! If you had one then you would have waited for them to come back empty handed, say Ben was dead, but no... he was gone for two weeks and where were you? Looking for him? NO! You were at home on dating sites!"

Rook could tell how livid Gwen was right now. He was almost scared of the girl, not only was she screaming at the top of her lungs, but she'd resorted to using her powers and that was something Rook knew was often for her when she wasn't fighting an otherworldly threat. Gwen's face had turned pink and her eyes were beginning to dampen. She wasn't going to cry, but she was so angry she was barely breathing as she screeched at Julie. Rook prayed that Julie would just leave and not anger Gwen any further.

"I didn't meet Herve on a dating site!" Julie growled back at Gwen. Rook's prayers were not answered. Gwen was about ready to destroy Julie if it weren't for Rook speaking up.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" he asked as he took a step closer to Julie.

Julie's eyes darted towards Rook again and she pointed to him. "I'm seeing Ben and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" she shouted at him.

"You're not going near him!" Gwen hissed. Julie's nose wrinkled as she squinted her eyes at Gwen. She spun around on her heels and began to walk towards the wall Gwen had created.

"Try and stop me," she said as she stopped in front of it.

"Miss Yomato, I respect that you are a friend of Ben's, but I do not believe he needs to see you at this moment, he is very fragile-"

"FRIEND?!" Julie screamed and spun around so she could stare Rook in the eyes. Rook took a step away from the girl as she yelled at him. He blinked at her in his confusion. "That is what you said isn't it? Ben is your boyfriend?" he frowned.

Julie squinted her eyes at him then scrunched her nose. "Idiot," she muttered. Julie turned back around to look at the wall in front of her and her eyes darted over it, trying to figure out how to get rid of it.

"The wall stands Julie and soon you won't be, so I suggest you leave!" Gwen barked from behind the dark haired girl. Julie snorted and turned on her heel to stare at Gwen. Instead of bursting into tears Julie was filled with rage. Her eyes were burning like hot coals as she glared at Gwen.

"Ben is my boyfriend! I am going to see him!" she roared.

"Mam' I'm sorry, but I-" Rook couldn't continue as Julie barked a retort at him. Rook narrowed his eyes at the girl. It wasn't normal for Rook to get angry, but this girl's insults he was too close to ripping her ponytails off, if Gwen didn't beat him to it.

"Miss Yomato-"

"Shut up alien!" Julie screamed when Rook tried to speak to her once again. Julie was on the edge, she could snap at any moment and if she was going to attack either Gwen or Rook she'd attack the alien. She knew what Gwen was capable of, but Rook was a different story. She could tell from Rook's broad shoulders that he had great upper body strength, but she'd seen worse aliens and she in her own mind believed she stood a chance of victory against the ravonnahgander.

"Julie! Stop yelling at Rook and get out of here!" Gwen shouted from across the room. Julie then turned her attention back to Gwen and began to yell at her.

Rook felt himself in the middle of this argument and tried desperately to stop the interruption. Rook tried to stop the two girls, but every time he opened his mouth Julie would cut him off and insult him. Now Rook was getting mad.

"Julie-"

"Did you just call me by my first name? How rude!"

"Julie stop!"

"Hey Rook where are you?"

"Stop!" Rook suddenly roared. Everyone was silent now, even Gwen couldn't believe he'd shouted. Rook closed in on Julie and scowled at her. "Miss Yomato LEAVE. Ben cannot see anyone at the moment but me. If you want to see him then you will have to wait like everyone else. If you had a connection with Ben I am sorry, but he still cannot see you and if you dare insult me again I will have you escorted quite rudely off the premises. Do you understand?" Rook growled.

Julie stared up at him, her mouth agape slightly and her eyes the size of plates. She had seen the ravonnahgander from up close only a few moments ago, but this was terrifying. Like a cat Rook's pupils changed depending his mood and because he was angry they were thin and very cat like. It scared Julie to see the man looking so hostilely at her. She also hadn't noticed how sharp his teeth were or how yellow his eyes were.

Julie became aware of the silence and before Rook could ask her to answer she nodded and dashed passed Gwen without another word.

Gwen watched the girl go as her energy wall began to fade into nothing. She then peered back at Rook with a more than surprised glance. Rook then saw the error of his ways and his eyes dropped to the floor. He'd been so rude to the girl, but before Rook could apologise Gwen began to make sobbing like noises.

Rook was now horrified that he'd made Gwen cry. He ran to comfort her, but noticed that just after a few steps she wasn't crying. Gwen was laughing. She was heaving for air and wrapping her arms around her waist. Rook cocked his head in confusion as he watched the girl's outburst.

When Gwen had calmed down enough to speak she looked up at Rook and had to wipe a tear away. "Wow," she chuckled. "I never expected to hear you yell-and I've never seen Julie run so fast, not even for a tennis ball!" Gwen burst back into hysterics.

Rook just smiled, not knowing whether to agree with Gwen or to show his confusion if it wasn't any more obvious than it was. Gwen then began to pant and loosen her grip on her stomach.

She stretched upwards and left one hand over her stomach. "Okay, now that hurts," she giggled a little. She looked back at Rook with a wide smile.

"Thanks for sticking up for Ben, I don't know a lot of people that would do that and I don't know a lot of people with the courage to stand up to Julie," Gwen chuckled. Rook frowned. He tilted his head so he could look passed Gwen and up the hall, where Julie had ran.

"She seemed like a horrible person, why would Ben think of her as a friend?"

Gwen's eyes widened a little, but she looked rather calm seeming she had a fight and almost laughed to death. She sighed and closed her eyes for a moment. She raised a hand in the air and motioned for Rook to come closer.

"Walk with me," she said. Rook did as she'd requested and began a pace next to the girl. He looked down at her as she spoke, not because Gwen was short. Gwen was very tall for a girl, but because Rook was so freakishly tall.

"Rook, when Julie said she was Ben's girlfriend it didn't mean she was his friend," Gwen began. She could already tell she'd need a little more time to explain by Rook's expression. "On Earth a 'girlfriend' is an expression we give to a girl who is also a lover, understand?" Gwen smiled. Rook's eyes went wide for a moment, but then he looked away.

"I understand," he whispered a little more quietly than he'd meant to, but Gwen heard him. "Julie is Ben's mate?"

Gwen nodded and then sighed. Rook grew a little worried as Gwen's expression faded back into an annoyed one. "She was Ben's girlfriend, but when Ben went missing she went off and found another boyfriend," Gwen hissed as she walked. Rook stared at Gwen in such a way Gwen could swear he was about to chase after Julie and slap her.

"She did not know that he was dead or not?" Rook asked with his eyes wide. Gwen shook her head as she glared at Rook. She wasn't angry at him, but she couldn't wipe the glare away from her face. She was too angry at Julie.

"That was a cruel thing to do," Rook added as they walked.
Gwen snorted. "You're telling me."

"I don't understand, why would she move on?" Rook asked with a worried frown. Gwen sighed as she stared at Rook's concern and then looked ahead as the two of them turned a corner. "I don't know why. Julie said she couldn't deal with the pain and she needed to be held by someone, so she replaced Ben with a French photographer," Gwen glared.

Rook's frown turned into absolute sorrow on Ben's part. How could Ben's mate be so unfaithful to him? She hadn't even known if he was dead or not. The worst part was that the plumbers hadn't even stopped looking for Ben before Julie moved on.

"If Kevin went missing, I wouldn't move on. He gets lost all the time, I'd wait for him," Gwen frowned. "It's just cruel to move on even if you know what happened to them, I understand that after time you can find new love, but how can you move on so quickly? It was like Ben meant nothing to her."

Rook nodded as he listened to her words. Rook then thought back to Ben, realising that Ben was waiting for him. When he visited Ben he would not tell her about the encounter with Julie. Ben was in a good mood for the first time since he'd arrived and Rook couldn't tear the smile off his face. "How about you?" Rook looked down at Gwen as he snapped back to reality.

"Would you move on?" Gwen asked and Rook's eyes widened. Rook looked in front of him and his face went grim.

"When a ravonnahgander's mate is killed or dies, the surviving lover will morn for the rest of his or her life until they meet once again in the afterlife."

Gwen was taken back by Rook's words, finding them sweet and poetic, but also very sad. She frowned and then sighed.

"I wish Ben was dating you," Gwen sighed. Rook turned his head to look at Gwen and Gwen did the same. Her eyes widened. "Oh god! I didn't mean that! I meant I wish Julie was as noble as you, I didn't mean I want you to date my cousin," he covered her mouth to stop more words from spewing out. Rook just smiled at her and laughed.

"I understand," he chuckled. Gwen smiled back at him as the two of them turned the corner.

"Have you seen Ben today?" She smiled. Rook shook his head.

"No, I haven't, but that reminds me, I need to ask you something," Rook said and Gwen blinked at him.

"Go ahead," she shrugged.

"Anodites have many powers, but never did I imagine they'd have the ability to talk between minds, is that something that you can do?" Rook frowned. Gwen squinted her eyes at him and then tilted her head to the side.

"Why are you asking?" he questioned as Rook then began to go over the current events.

"Because Ben has been talking to me from down stairs and he says that he has that ability," Rook explained. Gwen's eyes went wide as she heard this and she shook her head.

"I didn't know we had that ability and I didn't know Ben could use it either, Rook.. have you told anyone else about this?" Gwen frowned.

Rook shook his head side to side. "No, I was going to, but because of Julie-"

"Don't," Gwen cut him off and Rook stared at her in confusion. "Ben's been through enough as it is and if you tell people than they won't cut him a break about it, that and if Ben knows you told someone he might not be very happy to talk to you any more seems he wanted it to be secret," Gwen whispered so that no one in the next corridor could hear her.

Rook tilted his head. "How do you know he wants it to be secret?" He asked. Gwen smiled at him and crossed her arms.

"He didn't talk to me or anyone else telepathically," she noted. Rook understood and nodded in agreement, then frowned.

"He can't hurt himself while doing it can he?" Rook became worried. Gwen began to laugh once again and the stopped walking.

"I don't think so, you worry too much," she said. Gwen then began to walk again as Rook stayed were he stood. "I think you should go see him, he gets bored you know."

Gwen disappeared around the corner in a matter of seconds and Rook was now alone in the empty hall. He blinked for a few moments and then turned his head to see that he had stopped walking in front of an elevator.

Rook didn't think much of it and typed a code into the elevator. The door whooshed open and he walked inside. Rook had to type in two pass words to get the elevator to go to the lower levels that Ben was in. He could imagine how many people would slam these codes in to see Ben if they knew what they were.

The elevator was slow, but Rook could feel it dragging him downwards. Rook began to remember the previous conversation he had with Ben. Apparently Rook was talking to Ben in his sleep, which was a little unsettling seems Rook couldn't remember what he dreamt about that night, not that it mattered Rook's dreams were never too extraordinary.

Then Rook remembered the last thing Ben said to him. 'Where are you?' Rook's eyes widened. He'd shouted after Ben said that. Hopefully Ben didn't think he was shouting at him. No! What if Ben asked what he yelled at? What if Rook had to tell Ben Julie was there, but then Ben would become depressed and Rook may not be able to cheer him up!

'Ding!'

The doors to the elevator opened and showed the long hallway. Rook walked out and began a quick pace to Ben's room. He knew Ben wouldn't be in an interrogation room so this was a different floor. To get inside of this room Rook either needed a key or Ben would grant him permission.

Rook was now standing in front of the large door. He took a breath and then knocked on it. When Rook didn't hear anything he pressed the button next to the door.

"Ben, it's me. Can you let me in?" the doors instantly whooshed open and Rook poked his head in. When he did he was met with the sight of Ben leaning against the wall with a ball in his palm. "I need a bigger room," he muttered as he squeezed the ball in his hand.

Rook smiled at him and walked fully inside.

"How are you?" Rook asked Ben as the boy began to stand up. Ben stretched his limps as he stood and yawned a response that he had to repeat because the yawn made it sound like an alien language(that Rook didn't know of course).

"Bored, I was always too good at hand-ball so there's no point in playing without company," Ben shrugged. Rook frowned and cocked his head slightly.

"What is hand-ball?" he asked and Ben grinned.

He raised the ball in his hand and threw it up and down in his palm. "I'll have to teach you," Ben grinned.

Hand-ball is a game we played back when I was in primary school ;)

So, how was it? I hope to see some more feedback soon! And don't worry, I'm already starting on the next chapter.

See you in two weeks!
