Chapter 31: Mercy

Anna’s POV

I felt like a giant weight had been taken off my body. It was never my intention to keep my powers a secret for that long, but it kind of just happened that way. I looked around the room, feeling slightly guilty that it came out this way. Cideon and Lav looked like they were still trying to process everything but everyone else seemed to have moved on.

“Ok so now that we know Anna has powers she can use against Ayaan, we can use that to our advantage,” said Anya

“The element of surprise is always nice to have but what do we do if she loses?” asked Myesha

“I’m not going to–”

“I’m sorry but no. Look, I get that you have magic Anna, but Patrick is right. There is always the possibility you aren’t strong enough to win. So I agree, we need to think this through,”

I sighed and collapsed into a chair. “Well, I appreciate the bode of confidence,”

“That’s not what we’re saying,”

“I know. I just don’t like thinking about not winning it’s–” I stopped myself and turned my head away for a second to try and stop the flashback. It didn’t work as a flash of Adam’s smiling face popped into my brain. I looked at Patrick and it was like he read my mind

“It’s complicated. The point is, we should have a plan ready just in case but I highly doubt we’ll need it,”

Justin stepped forward, “Ok so we know that if we win, which is more likely, our terms that they have to submit to is total surrender and signing a peace treaty, right?”

“Yes, I think we can all agree that that would be the best course of action. Does everyone agree?” asked Ari. We all nodded as she turned to Lav. “Do you have any idea what Ayaan would choose as Vaikar’s terms?”

“I don’t know honestly. I thought I knew my brother but based on his most recent actions, I don’t. That is not the person I grew up with. But I can guess that he will also want total surrender but he might also call for you guys to give up your kingdoms. Why? Well, he’s always wanted to be on top and at least with Narnia, he isn’t. But I really don’t know,”

I stood up and started pacing, “Well he’s not going down without a fight. The question is, do you all want to fight a war if I lose?”

The room was dead silent. No one wanted war. That was something we all had been trying so desperately to avoid and it would hurt all parties. I knew we could do it if we had to, but it would be costly.

“Is that the only option?” asked Miranda

I looked at her and saw the fear in her eyes. It then dawned on me that this is all new to her. The rest of us had been in a war before, but she hadn’t. My heart dropped when I realised that if I didn’t win, she would have to experience something that no one ever should. War is not only brutal but she would have to learn how to kill.

"Probably," said Justin

"I don't think any of our kingdoms will go down without a fight. So war would be unavoidable if you lost Anna," said Myesha

"I know which is why I plan on winning. But if you all do fight, I suggest you do it in Narnia. It has the best field and we haven't lost a war yet,"

"It's settled then. Let's get this shit over then,"

It wasn't a long flight back to Vaikar. When we landed it was the middle of the night so we all pretty much collapsed in bed. It wasn't long until the nightmares entered my dreams.

"Anna, Anna, ANNA!" yelled a voice

I sat up very suddenly and was out of breath. Something had touched my leg so I looked around the room frantically. My anxiety spiked once I saw I wasn’t in my room in Narnia. Then I remembered that we weren't in Narnia but in Vaikar. I caught my breath and turned to see Patrick. It was then I noticed he had shaken me awake out of a nightmare. Fuck, I didn’t mean to wake him I thought to myself as I rubbed my face.

"Fuck. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. Go back to sleep,"

"Anna, how many times do I have to tell you that it's ok? I'm always going to be here for you,"

I sighed and turned on the lights. "I'm surprised you came in. I figured you were still pissed at me,”

Patrick shrugged, “You screamed, I was asleep on the couch and came running. It’s a reflex I guess,”

“Still I feel terrible that it is a reflex at this point. I wish I could just sleep normally. But thank you,”

I then moved over so he could come and sit on the bed with me. I then looked away from him but he didn’t need me to speak to know what I wanted. He sat down and opened his arms for me. Almost immediately I curled up into him and laid my head on his chest.

“Do you want to talk about it?” he whispered gently as his fingers ran through my hair

“No. It was just the usual one,”

“Adam?”

“Yeah. Except he was originally Ayaan. Then right as he was about to… well you know, his face turned into Adam’s. I just can’t escape him,”

We then just sat there in silence for however long. I never liked to be the one to apologise first, but in this case, it felt right.

“I’m sorry,”

Patrick gave me a kiss on my head and mumbled into my hair, “It’s ok”

“No, it’s not. You’re right, I’ve been reckless and jumping into things before I even think about it. It’s just– it’s just that sometimes I feel out of control. Or that I’m capable of doing anything, which I am, but not at a risk. I have this feeling of recklessness… that probably didn’t make sense so just forget it.”

“No no. It made sense alright. I just don’t know how to respond… but I do accept your apology,”

I paused for a moment before I spoke again, choosing my words carefully. “I know I should be grateful for my powers but sometimes I’m not,”

“Why’s that?” asked a very puzzled Patrick

“Because of the toll it's taken on me and the weight I have to carry,”

Patrick sighed and relaxed a bit. “So that’s why you no longer cared about keeping them a secret,”

“Yes,”

“But you know… you aren’t alone,”

I sighed, “I know. But it feels like I am sometimes,”

“Well if there’s one thing I can guarantee it's that I will never leave you or make you feel alone,” whispered Patrick as he gave my forehead a kiss.

I just nodded. We didn’t say anything for a few moments and just listened to the rain that had suddenly started. I don’t know how much time passed before I felt myself drifting to sleep in Patrick’s arms.

The next morning I was awakened by the sunlight filtering through the room and movement outside. I laughed to myself as I saw that Patrick had practically wrapped all his limbs around me to keep me warm. Patrick stirred next to me and blinked his eyes open. Then he squinted his eyes and moaned.

“Mmm… it’s too early to be awake, Anna. What time even is it?”

I laughed, “It’s almost 10am, you dork,”

Patrick furrowed his eyebrows at this, “Who are you and what have you done with my girlfriend? She has never let me sleep in during a diplomatic trip,”

“Well first of all it’s fiance and second, I naturally woke up at 6am which was only three hours after we fell asleep so I said to myself ‘fuck it’ cause it wasn’t like anyone else was going to get up at a normal time anyway,”

I tried to keep a straight face but couldn’t. Patrick let out a joyous laugh and his smile lit up his face so much it made me smile.

“Who knew that you could be so caring?”

“Oh shut up. But seriously we need to get up now,” I said as I attempted to get out of bed, but not before Patrick grabbed my waist and yanked me back into bed

“Nope! Not yet!” he exclaimed as he started kissing me to prevent me from getting out of bed. I laughed before trying to get out again, unsuccessfully. But I wasn’t all that upset about it. I spun around, grabbed Patrick’s shirt, and started running my hands all over his body. I captured his lips with mine as my hands slipped under his shirt. I let a breath out as his lips kissed the sensitive spot on my neck. Patrick made a smile at me as I started to tug his shirt off. The second his shirt was gone, mine was whisked off my body.

Just as Patrick was reaching for my last article of clothing, there was a knock at the door followed by the door opening. “So sorry to barge in, my lady but– Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry!” exclaimed the maid as she quickly covered her eyes and spun around. “Uh– I-I- I apologise for the intrusion. I did not know you had company, I figured you were awake, that is what Lord Jackson said at least,”

“It’s alright. We’ll be right out,” I squeak out from underneath the sheet I had yanked over myself. Patrick was doing his best to not laugh. But the second the door shut he rolled off of me laughing in hysterics. I groaned into the blankets, “This is your fault,”

“Oh, it’s not like the maids haven’t walked in on us before,”

“Still we could’ve avoided it in Vaikar if we got up when I said we should,” I laughed. I then tossed a pillow at him as I finally got out of bed to get ready for the day. It didn’t take long to find a dress and do my hair. We were ready in less than ten minutes which was a record for us. I turn to Patrick and smile. “Ready?”

“Yeah,” he said as he opened the door for us. “You look a bit like Inara from Firefly,”

I look down at myself and laugh, “Yeah, you’re right I do,”

It was then that I noticed, that this morning was the first time in a while that I laughed and felt happy. I was about to thank Patrick for making my morning better when we were stopped by Lav.

“Oh there you are! I’ve been looking all over for you!”

“Good morning to you too Lav,”

“Sorry sorry. I’ve just been looking everywhere for you, Anna.” she then turned to Patrick. “Do you mind if I steal her from you? I was hoping to talk to her privately,”

“Certainly. I will see you, ladies, later,” said Patrick as he gave me a kiss goodbye and headed off. He didn’t get far before Lavanya called out to him.

“Oh, and Jack was looking for you by the way! He’s in the dining hall with everyone else!”

Patrick gave a thumbs up, signalling that he heard and disappeared around the corner. I turned to Lav with a smile, “So… how can I be of service to you Lav?”

“Well… I–I- wanted to talk to you about tomorrow,”

I sighed and started leading us down the hallway. “You don’t think I can win, do you?”

Lav suddenly stopped and gasped, “No no! That’s not it. It’s the opposite actually…”

“You’re worried that I’ll win?” I asked, puzzled. This doesn’t make any sense. Why on earth would Lav not want me to…

“It’s Ayaan. He’s my brother,”

Oh. This makes much more sense now. “Ah. I see,”

“Yeah… It’s a fight to the death. By all means, I’m not defending him! No, god no. But… it’s a fight to the death and well, he’s my brother. I–I know he’s done some really bad stuff but, I feel like I’d regret it if I didn’t at least try,”

“You want me to show him mercy?”

“Yes!” said Lav a little too eagerly. She then looked down and stopped. She then opened the double doors next to us and stepped out onto the balcony. I silently followed her expecting her to keep talking. She leaned against the railing and sighed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to sound excited about you holding back on my brother. But.. nevermind you wouldn’t understand,”

“Try me. I understand more than you realise,”

Lav tilted her head at me, “Really?”

“Yes. You forget King Zoran is my older brother,” I chuckled a bit as I watched the gears turn in Lavanya’s brain and click. “While he might not be my twin or anything, he’s still my brother. If the roles were switched right now, I… I would definitely try to ask for his life to be spared. ‘Cause that’s what you’re about to ask for me, isn’t it?”

“Yes,” whispered Lav. She then turned to me with tears in her eyes. “I know and totally think that he should be punished for his crimes along with my mother, maybe even the most severe punishment possible. But he doesn’t deserve to die. Not like this. So please, I’m begging you, show him mercy and spare his life in the end,”

I sighed and looked out to the city. It was a beautiful view, the city was alive and the desert was gorgeous. I was amazed at how different it looked compared to what it looked like in Narnia. I took a deep breath before answering. “Alright. I’ll do it. I will spare your brother's life when I win because I will win,”

“Really!?”

“Thank you thank you thank you!” said Lav as she then hugged me.

“Ah! Ok ok ok you’re welcome. But no hugs!”

Lav laughed as she let go of me. “I forgot you don’t like hugs,”

“No, I don’t. Anyway, I need to head on down to the gym. I would be dumb not to train a bit,”

“Oh yes! Please go. I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me and for sparing his life,”

I turned and walked out the way. But I stopped at the door once I realised something, “Lav. There is something you need to know,”

“What’s that?”

“I will give your brother ONE chance to live. If he screws that up by pulling some stunt, I will not hesitate to kill him on the spot. I can guarantee that.” and with that, I left before she could respond.

omg ty for answering! I don't really have specific questions, more so I just wanna learn about what's it like, and what you learn about! I know it's like, studying crime, criminal justice, ect, but I wanna see it from your pov :) I've been interested in it so once I saw your bio I was drawn in lol.

Of course! So for me I was originally forensics but the calculus was WAYY too hard so I switched to criminology. It was the best decision ever! Classes became so much easier for me and I actually had free time.

Last semester I took two major related classes which were Criminology and Criminal Justice System. Both were very interesting! In Criminology we learned about the theories of WHY people commit crimes. I'd be more than happy to share a few of my favourites. Then in Criminal Justice we learned about our criminal justice system and how fucked up it is. No joke my professor said that a lot.

This semester I am taking Sociological Research Methods, Sociological Theories, Abnormal Psychology (I'm a double minor in psychology and history), Critical Thinking in Psychology, and Intermediate Spanish!

I just really love it and my university's program is AMAZING! I'm much happier and despite the fact my personal life is an absolute train wreck... I'm doing very well in school. Let me know if you wanna know anything else!

Hello! I did see your request and it's on the list. But I'd LOVE to talk about my major! I'm very open about my life for the most part. I mean I've posted pieces about getting dumped so there's only a few things I won't open up about lol.

Anyway...It's going great! I love all the classes I've taken for it so far! Do you have any specific questions you have about it? Or do you just wanna know what it's like?

Winter was never one of Peter Parker’s favourite seasons, but there was something to say about how beautiful the MIT campus was in winter. The sunlight trickling in from the window showed how the snow was glistening on the ground as it covered the campus like a blanket. It had snowed about a foot the night before making everything look soft and fluffy. Peter knew it was going to be a hassle getting back to his apartment but he wasn’t about to let that damper his mood. He smiled as he looked at Y/n Y/Ln.

“You know, it’s rude to stare at someone while they sleep,” said a groggy Y/n.

Peter laughed, “Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to wake you,”

“It’s fine. We should probably get up anyway. It’s already 11am,”

Peter pouted a bit before getting up, “Fine. But it’s not like we have anything to do today. Just look at how much it snowed,”

Y/n sat up and looked out the window. “Wow. It really came down, didn't it? I still can’t believe you walked in the dark, cold, snow just to come and spend the night with me,”

Peter just shrugged as he plugged in his phone. He then handed Y/n her phone before she could even ask for it. It was then that he decided to lay back down instead of getting. Y/n took this as a cue to cuddle some. She held back a laugh as Peter rolled over so he could be the little spoon. They stayed like this for a bit before Y/n knew she wasn’t going to be able to go back to sleep.

“Are you hungry?” she asked him

“Yeah kinda,”

“I’ll make you breakfast. What do you want?”

Peter moved so that Y/n was kind of laying on top of him. “Eggs and bacon… please,”

“Ok but then we’re getting up right now,” said Y/n as she untangled herself from him, not before kissing him. Together they went down the stairs to the kitchen where Y/n’s roommate, Gwen was making herself lunch. “Morning or err afternoon,”

Gwen laughed, “Morning you two. What are yall’s plans for today?”

Y/n shrugged as she pulled out the eggs and bacon. “Nothing really, right Pete?”

Peter had moved from the kitchen to the living room couch. He was scrolling through his phone as he answered, “Uh yeah we don’t have plans,”

“Well, Harry and I were gonna go build a snowman after we ate lunch. Do you guys want to join us?”

“Yeah! That sounds fun! What do you think Peter?”

“Sure!”

For the rest of brunch Y/n, Peter, and Gwen chatted about various topics as they ate. The most entertaining topic was the videos that they found on Instagram of the sledding shenanigans that took place the night before. All of them couldn’t understand why people thought it was a good idea to sled down the hill in a kayak or trash can. It wasn’t long before Harry showed up and they got ready to go out in the snow.

“You know I really hate snow,” said Y/n

“What why?” asked Peter as he walked up the hill

“Well it tricks you because it looks all soft and fluffy but in reality, it isn’t. Then there’s the fact it’s so fucking cold. Plus when it melts it just makes a puddle and gets water everywhere,”

“Wow you really hate snow, Y/n” laughed Gwen. She then squealed as a snowball from Harry hit her in the head. Harry and Peter doubled over laughing. “That’s not funny,”

“It was just a bit. But I’m freezing so can we hurry up and start this snowman,” laughed Y/n

For the next thirty minutes, they all rolled snowballs to make the head and body of the snowman. Unfortunately, the snow wasn’t the right consistency for a snowman so they had to use their brains and make the snow stick. But they managed it and the snowman was complete. To be fair, Y/n barely did any of the work because of the cold. It was still a very cute snowman.

All of a sudden a snowball hit Y/n in the back, “Ay! What the… Peter!” she then grabbed a bunch of snow and throw it back at him.

“Not the face!” he cried as he turned away from her. This led to the two of them tossing snow at each other. But it didn’t take long for Y/n’s fingers to freeze.

“Ok ok, I yield! I’m freezing cold so who wants hot chocolate?” asked Y/n as they all started heading back.

“I do but wait for a second… I wY/n make a snow angel,” said Peter as he fell back into the snow. Y/n laughed as he made a perfect snow angel. “There! Now we can go in,”

“Does anyone want hot chocolate?” asked Gwen. Everyone nodded so she went to the kitchen to make a batch for everyone.

“Do you guys wanna play some Mario Kart?” asked Y/n as she put away all her snow gear

“Hell yeah,” said Peter and Harry.

“Y’all are going d-o-w-n,” called Gwen from the kitchen

“I would say the same except the Wii won’t turn on,” frowned Y/n. For the next few minutes, she unplugged and replugged the Wii, reset the Wii, and even threatened the Wii. But it still wouldn’t turn on. Sighing, Y/n collapsed on the couch next to Peter. “Well, there went that idea. Thanks for the coco Gwen,”

“Let me try,” said Peter. He put his mug on the table and sat down in front of the Wii. Two seconds later the Wii glowed with life.

“What the actual fuck!” exclaimed Y/n as she almost spit out her coco. Harry and Gwen laughed but were also impressed.

Peter simply shrugged, “Electronics are finicky things,”

“Yeah, but what did you do?”

“Same thing Y/n did. Except I switched the outlet. I was honestly just guessing. But now it’s time for me to take you all down,”

It was a very intense hour as the four of them played Mario Kart. There was tons of cursing at the TV and each other as they raced their lives. Y/n still had yet to win a race that is until she discovered she could steal wins at the last second.

“Y/n that is not fucking fair! You can’t just be in 12th the whole game and then use a Bullet at the last second to jump to first!” yelled Gwen who had come in second because of Y/n’s move

“Hey, there’s no rules against it. Besides were playing teams right now,”

“I’m not a fucking team player. I want to always win damnit,” whispered Gwen

“Ok well with that victory I think I’m Wii-ed out,” laughed Y/n as she went to put her and Peter’s cup in the sink.

“Yeah me too. Harry, shut down the Wii for us,” said Gwen

Y/n returned and sat down next to Peter, “Do you wanna go watch something in my room for a bit?”

“Yeah sure,” said Peter

Together they went up to Y/n’s room. It was exactly how they had left it when they went downstairs. Y/n crawled in the bed shortly followed by Peter who first changed into basketball shorts. It did not take them long to tangle up in each other. The show they had been watching together was “The Magicians”. One of Y/n’s favourite things about being Peter was cuddling with him. Sure she wasn’t his girlfriend yet and had no idea what was going to happen, but it didn’t change the fact she felt safe and happy in his arms. An hour or so passed before it was time for Peter to go.

Peter sat up and said “I should head back ‘cause it’s getting dark and I walked,”

“Ok,” said Y/n. She tilted her head as she watched him slowly gather his things. Peter left to grab something from the bathroom. When he came back, Y/n got this gut feeling something was wrong. Peter sat down on the bed in front of her. It had sort of become of thing, where Y/n got anxious she would in a way cling to Peter. So that’s exactly what she did.

“Are you ok?” asked Peter. He couldn’t see Y/n as she was hugging him from behind but he could feel her anxiety coming off her in waves. Her head was in his back.

“Sorry I just got very anxious for some reason,”

“What made you anxious?”

Y/n didn’t want to admit that Peter’s body language had made her anxious. So she went with the safer route. “I don’t know really. It’s one of those things you can’t put into words. You know?” Peter just nodded but didn’t say anything. Now she was concerned so asked him “Are you ok?”

“I also got anxious randomly,”

“What about?”

“This,”

Y/n’s heart stopped. She was worried that was the case which is why she got anxious. But didn’t want to believe it. So she played dumb. “What do you mean by this?”

“I just think that I’m being selfish right now. What I’m asking from you is selfish,”

“We’ve already talked about this. I don’t think you’re being selfish right now,”

“I–I don’t think that it’s smart for either of us right now. And I told you at the beginning of this that my biggest fear was hurting you. And–”

Y/n cut him off, “Except you aren’t right now. It’s my choice of whether or not I want to keep going. I chose to stay with you even though you don’t want the label. I’m ok with being casual with you. I know I’m normally not but right now I am,”

“I know Y/n. But I feel like I’m stringing you along,”

“Ok if that’s the issue then I need you to know that even if we were in a relationship I don’t need anything to change. I just want YOU. I don’t need anything else from you. I don’t need to see you more than I already do. I don’t need for us to change anything. It can all just stay the same,”

“Ok, but the point of the talking stage is to figure out whether or not we can progress to a real relationship. But it’s not fair to you for me to keep dragging this out. And I don’t mean that in a bad way. I mean that if we keep doing what we’re doing, I’ll just hurt you more further down the line,”

“Are you saying you want to end this? Like right now?”

Peter was quiet for a moment before sighing. “Yes. I think it’s the right thing to do,”

“Oh god,” whispered Y/n as she clung to Peter tighter. She put her head into his shoulder and tried her damndest to stay put together. But it was incredibly hard. Y/n was not the type to show her emotions to anyone. The last time she got dumped she sat there with no reaction. But something about this time felt different.

“I’m sorry. I really am,”

“Was it me?” asked Y/n as she choked back tears. “Was I just not enough for you?” she cried

Peter was shocked that she felt this way. He immediately scooped her up and put her in his lap. “No. Oh god no. You were perfect. You’re more than enough and what I wanted. It’s just… I can’t commit to a relationship,”

Tears were streaming down Y/n’s face at this point. “I don’t need that from you though. I just wanted YOU,”

“I know, I know. I just can’t hurt you further down the line when you don’t want to wait anymore. It was selfish of me to say we could keep things the same,”

“You’re doing the right thing. I know you are. It’s why I can’t be mad at you. But just because it is the right thing doesn’t make it hurt any less,” sobbed Y/n

“I never meant to hurt you,”

“But you did. And you’re making me feel like snow. You made me feel all soft and fluffy inside, but now I just feel cold. I’m so cold. You melted my heart but now it’s a broken wet puddle. I–I can’t even talk. Why could it be you? I just wanted you,”

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I– I want to stay to make sure you don’t have a panic attack but it’s up to you. Do you want me to stay or go?”

“Stay for a bit,”

The two of them just sat there for a while. Peter held her as she cried into his chest. It felt like they both had made a mistake but it was the right thing for both of them to do. As Y/n cried, Peter whispered in her ear how sorry he was over and over again. He rubbed her back and made circles on her hand to help her process. Y/n wasn’t sure what to think. It hurt so much but she couldn’t explain why. In reality, she was mostly confused by everything. It took all her strength to put on a calm face for Peter. Tears were still dripping down her face but she could speak coherently.

“I– I uh assume you want your hoodie and shirt back, right?”

“Yeah,”

Y/n slowly got up, wiped her eyes, and walked to the closet. There she pulled out the blue hoodie he gave her and then the grey shirt she had taken. It took all her strength to hand them over. The tears wouldn’t stop as she watched him gather his belongings. The walk down the stairs for both of them felt like a walk of death. When they reached the bottom and Peter put his boots on, Y/n held back more sobs. It felt like she was about to lose a piece of her soul.

“Again. I’m so sorry Y/n. I never meant to hurt you. But when you’re ready, I’d love to be just friends,”

“I– I think that I need some time first,”

“Of course! Take all the time that you need,”

“Honestly I don’t know if I can because of how hard I fell for you. But I’ll try. I’d like to at least,”

Peter nodded. “Well until then,” he then hugged her one last time before heading out the door. The second the door closed, Y/n collapsed, let out the biggest sob, and ran to Gwen’s open arms.

The second Peter left, he went for a swing around campus. When he got to an isolated spot he took off his mask and let the tears he had been holding back out. So he cried by himself in the snow. He knew why he did it. He was in no position for a relationship. He was trying to get his life together. There was staying on top of his classes, figuring out if he was going to switch majors again, and then of course being spiderman. He truly never meant to hurt Y/n the way he did. But ever since MJ he had been hesitant to start another relationship. And he really thought he had been ready with Y/n, but there was just too much going on in his life to do that to her. It wasn’t fair so he made the right call.

The days following the breakup, Y/n became a total trainwreck. Peter watched her from a distance and it was killing him. He watched her claim she was going to put herself first then do the opposite. Y/n would go from trying to fix herself to wrecking it by getting drunk. She became someone he almost didn’t recognise. But then something happened and he couldn’t tell what. But it was still too painful to watch so he stopped watching her.

Y/n was truly confused and didn’t know how to explain her feelings. The minutes following the breakup she sobbed for three hours. She couldn’t understand why everything she felt happy, it was ripped away from her. That’s why one second she would go to the gym to work out then come home and drink her sorrows. She got so drunk that day that she pissed off Gwen. But then one day, something just clicked in her brain. It wasn’t that she was upset she lost a boy. No, it was because she had lost the strong connection. What she was really missing was just chatting to someone all day which is what she would do with Peter. Everything suddenly felt better. She reached out to her friends, started talking with them every day, and that was what made her heal. It wasn’t long before she was living her best life. So, she reached out to Peter, asking to meet so she could give him his stuff back.

When Peter got the text, he had been sceptical. But he decided to see what was going on with Y/n just to make sure she wasn’t lying when she said she was ok. Plus, she had his gloves and it was getting very cold. He didn’t want to walk around without gloves anymore. So he swang to class and saw her waiting for him. He hopped down and walked up to her. It was snowing.

She looked up from her phone and smiled at him, “Hey,”

“Hey,” was all Peter could say and it was a mystery as to where their relationship would go. But they sure hoped that they could be friends.

Chapter 30: The Secret

Myesha’s POV

“ANNA!” yelled Patrick into the microphone. But the only sound coming out of the microphone was static once again. “DAMN IT!” and I jumped a bit at the bang the microphone made as it hit the wall.

“Let’s calm down for a sec--” I started to say before I was cut off by someone running into the room.

“King Patrick! Queen Ariana! We spotted an escape pod but it got hit by something. We suspect that it might be the ship with Queen Anna in it,”

I watched as Patrick and Ariana both wipe their heads in the direction of the soldier. “Turn the ship around and follow them,” demanded Ariana

“Already doing that your grace. Shall I escort you to the bridge?”

“Yes please,” she said before hurrying after the soldier. I turned to Patrick who was still in the room. I was surprised to see him standing by the window.

“Aren’t you going to go see what’s up?” I asked softly

Patrick let out a scoff before looking at me, “Naw Ariana’s got it. I’m trying to control my anger because if Anna was to walk in right now I’d rip her head off,”

My eyes widened with surprise, “You’re that mad at her? I thought you two were supposed to be the perfect couple,”

Patrick let out a hearty laugh at this, “We are. But you know, every couple has its struggles. I mean I know you and CIdeon aren’t a couple but you seem like the perfect siblings. Don’t you all have your ups and downs?”

“We do and we talk through them. But I have this weird feeling you and Anna aren’t the type to peacefully talk things out,”

“Ha! Yes but we’re both way too stubborn for that,”

I faced the window and thought for a moment before responding, “You’ll get nowhere by just yelling at each other,”

“I--” but Patrick was cut off by the intercom.

“We are approaching the atmosphere, so will everyone please take your seats.” So I sat down next to Cideon and braced myself for the descent below.

It must have been a long descent because the next thing I knew was that I was being shaken awake by Cideon. “Hey sis, it’s time to get up. We’ve landed,”

“Where did we land?” I asked groggily as I rubbed my eyes

“Somewhere in Thalassa. But I’m not exactly sure where,”

“Did we land near Anna and the others?”

Cideon got very quiet and looked around before he responded, “Well… We were following the escape pod and had a direct view of it. That is until we entered the atmosphere,”

I scrunched my nose in confusion, “What do you mean until we entered the atmosphere?”

“The second we hit the atmosphere, as we passed through whatever the fiery layer is called, we lost sight of it. We assumed we’d see it once we came clear of it but… when we did, there was nothing,”

“Nothing? Like you couldn’t see anything or…”

“There was no sign of the escape pod or anything. The scanners didn’t pick it up and station control couldn’t find it either,”

“I guess that means Vaikar has made it so the ships can enter and leave the atmosphere without detection,” I sighed before sitting up straight, “Why have we landed here then?”

“Well, we all kinda agreed that if Anna and Jackson were in control then they would’ve landed near or in water. So we landed next to the nearest body of water we saw as soon as we entered the atmosphere. Honestly, I’m surprised you slept through the whole thing,”

“Well, I haven’t been sleeping well… anyway thanks for letting me sleep. Now should we go help look?”

Cideon nodded before helping me up. We walked to the door and headed out. I turned to Cideon expecting him to know what the plan was since I had slept through the whole thing. I can’t believe I slept through the whole thing. I really need to find a way to get a better sleep when I’m not needed to be on alert. I thought to myself as I followed Cideon to where Ariana was standing. She smiled when she saw us.

“I’m glad to see you got some sleep Myesha. I hope you’re feeling ok,”

“I’m feeling much better and well-rested. Now how can we help?”

Ariana sighed and looked out towards the water. “Well, Patrick and Justin took Miranda and Anya to the east. They’re looking on the shore for any signs of the ship. I sent a group of soldiers with Lavanya to scout the forest. I don’t have any more men with me right now, but if you two want to look west along the shore that would be extremely helpful,”

“We got this Ariana! Do you have any transportation?” Cideon asked happily

“Unfortunately I don’t. So you’ll have to go on foot,” we nod and start to turn around when she called out to us, “But here! Radio back if you find anything and I’ll get a team out to you. They could be…”

“Gotcha. We’ll see you in a bit Ari,” I said before Cideon and I started walking down the shoreline away from the ship.

We walked in comfortable silence for what felt like half an hour. I watched the waves hit my feet. The water felt nice against my skin and I was glad I had taken my sandals off. I sniffed the air and smelt the ocean which brought a smile to my face. Despite enjoying the water, there were still no signs of the escape pod or anything. I was about to go back to enjoying the silence when Cideon broke the silence.

“You’re having that dream again aren’t you?”

“What are you talking about?” I tried but I knew he saw right through me. But to my surprise, he played along.

“The one where you’re standing in the throne room but you can’t move because your feet are glued to the ground. You have to stand there and watch as someone else rules the kingdom. You always describe it as being helpless. But then you’re jolted awake by an indescribable pain in your stomach,”

“Oh. That dream,”

Cideon rolled his eyes at me. “Yes, that dream. I may be your younger brother but I’m not stupid,”

I laughed at this, “Oh I know that. But…” I trailed off trying to think of a way to deny it but there was no tricking Cideon. “Yes. You’re right. The dream is back,”

“When?”

“I’m not sure really. I wasn't keeping track. But I hadn’t had it in years until recently. It just came back almost randomly,”

“Are you nervous about ruling? I mean that’s my only guess for why it would suddenly come back. That’s why you have it, right? Because you’re nervous about leading the kingdom?”

“Yes and no. I know that it’s crazy to be nervous now as I have tons of time before I’m crowned queen. But I guess maybe seeing how young Ariana and Anna are has me stressed. I mean they are technically around my age.”

“I guess but there’s really-- Hey!” Cideon suddenly yelled and started sprinting towards something in the distance.

I squinted my eyes to see what the hell he was running at. My eyes widened as soon as I saw the smoke he was running towards. I started running as fast as I could. My legs felt like they were on fire and my chest was heavy. But my breath went out of my body as soon as I arrived at the source of the smoke.

“ANNA! JACKSON! MICHAEL!” yelled Cideon as he tried to approach the wreckage.

“I-I--I’ll radio Ariana,” I shakily said before reaching for the radio at my hip. “Ari? This is Myesha,”

“Yeah what’s up?”

“We found the escape pod. You better send a team out and you’ll wanna get medical too,”

There was silence for a minute before the radio crackled with life, “How bad and how far out are you?”

“We’re maybe a 30 to 45-minute walk from the ship. Just get here quickly,”

I stepped forward to help Cideon dig through the wreckage when all of a sudden he screamed. “ANNA!!!” and I watched in almost horror as Cideon did his best to pull her out of the flames. She was covered in ash but to my surprise, she looked ok otherwise.

Rushing forward, I went to help Cideon and opened my water canteen to drip some on Anna’s face. Partly to clean it and partly to see if it’ll wake her up. But then she sat up very suddenly and coughed.

“Where are Jackson and Michael?” she said in a raspy voice

“We haven’t found them yet. Here drink some water and let Cideon check you out for burns,”

She shook her head as she took a sip of water, “I’m fine. Fire can’t hurt me,”

“What are you talking about?” Cideon asked bewildered

“Don’t worry about it. We have to find--”

But she was cut off by someone else yelling her name “ANNA!”

I looked up to see Jackson running towards us. He was covered head to toe in ash but otherwise, he looked fine. It wasn’t long before Michael was also running towards us. He too was covered in ash but in addition to that, he had a cut on his shoulder. They knelt right down beside us. “Thank god you’re ok Anna. We were worried that you didn’t make it out. But then I remembered what you said about fire…” he trailed off

“Why do you all keep mentioning fire?” I asked

Anna coughed again and waved me off, “Don’t worry about it. Now we need to get back to Ariana and the others. We need to start making a plan of action,” she paused to take another sip of water. “There’s no way that Ayaan is going to let us get away with the stunt we just pulled,”

“She’s right. We need to head back and figure this out. How long until medical–”

Just then the medical team arrived in a jeep. They immediately hopped off and practically swarmed the three injured ones. I took a step back and watched as Anna rolled her eyes at the medic when they put an oxygen mask on her. I looked around and saw that none of the others had come with the medics. That’s probably for the best. I’m not in the mood to watch a sappy reunion, I thought to myself as I boarded the jeep. We then took off and headed back to the main ship.

It didn’t take us very long to get back thanks to the jeep they had brought. When we arrived everyone freaked out at the state of Anna, Jackson, and Michael. Luckily the medics were able to convince everyone that they were fine and just needed a good shower. I titled my head as I watched Patrick reunite with Anna.

“Don’t you ever do that again! You hear me? God, I can’t lose you again,”

“I know, I know. Sorry. I just–” but then we all stopped talking at the sound of a high pitched beep.

Sitting up confused I asked, “What’s that?”

“It means we have an incoming message. But everyone is here,” said Ariana before walking over to the control panel. We all gathered near the projector to see who it was. Ariana hit a few buttons and then a hologram appeared. It was Ayaan.

“Ah good. So I see the wannabe starflyers survived, how nice,”

Anna marched over, “What do you want Ayaan?”

“And there she is! Just the person I was looking for. The women of the hour,”

“I’m not in the mood for your games, Ayaan. So why don’t we skip that part and you tell me what you really want,”

“Oh fine, but you’re no fun,”

Anna rolled her eyes, “Just get on with it,”

“Well, you see I heard a little rumour that you, my dear, are the best fighter in Narnia and maybe in all the lands. But I didn’t believe them and wanted to find out for myself,”

“What did you have in mind?”

“How does a little duel sound to you?”

Patrick stepped closer to Anna, “Anna…”

“What kind of duel?”

Ayaan smiled at this which made my stomach feel queasy. “How about a traditional Vaikar gladiator fight? I know it might not be what you’re used to but it’s the same principles… well almost,”

“What do you mean almost?”

“Well I’m assuming you know how a gladiator fight works, you know only a sword and a shield. Though everything else is fair game,” Anna nodded so Ayaan continued “So I thought to myself, well why don’t we make this easy on everyone. You see, what if we make it so that whoever wins the duel, the losing has to submit to the terms of the winning side,”

“That sounds fair to me. Make the duel the end of this whole thing… I like it,”

Patrick’s eyes widened, “Anna please think about this before making a decision,” he whispered

“And to make it even more fun, why don’t we make it so the only way you can win is by surviving?”

“So a fight to the death?”

“Yes exactly,”

“Anna don–”

“I accept,”

At this everyone erupted with protests, not only on our end of the message but also on Ayaan’s side. He just smiled and nodded. To get everyone quiet he simply raised his voice. “The lovely Queen Anna has chosen to accept my offer. We will see you in Vaikar in two days time,”

“Wouldn’t want to miss it,” said Anna before Ayaan closed off communications once again. It was silent for approximately two seconds before Patrick yelled at Anna.

“What the hell was that?”

“Peaceful negotiations to move to aggressive negotiations,”

“You just agreed to fight to the death,”

“And?”

That was when Patrick lost it, and rightfully so. “OH MY GOD, I CAN’T WITH YOU RIGHT NOW,”

“Let’s talk about this later,” said Anna through gritted teeth jerking her head towards us.

“NO, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS NOW”

“OK FINE! GO ON THEN! SHARE WITH US, WHAT’S BEEN BOTHERING YOU!?!”

“YOU! I’m tired of the recklessness. I’m sick of you making decisions without thinking about it for a second,”

“Oh ok, so you just want me to sit back and do nothing,”

“That’s not what I’m saying,”

“THEN WHAT?”

“I JUST WANT YOU TO THINK FOR A MINUTE BEFORE RUSHING INTO DEATH!”

“I don’t rush into death,”

“Yes, you do! Oh my god, how do you not see it? ANNA YOU JUST AGREED TO THE DUEL TO THE DEATH!”

“I’m gonna–”

“I’m not finished! Not only did you agree to that, BUT YOU ALSO HOPPED IN A SHIP WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO FLY AND THE CRASHED ON A BEACH!”

“AND I WAS FINE!”

By now Anna and Patrick were both inches from each other's faces and I could feel the hot tension in the air. So could everyone else. Anna took a breath before speaking.

“I was fine then and I’m going to win this duel”

“How do you know for sure Anna. You can’t use your–”

“I WILL USE MY GODDAMN POWERS IF I HAVE TO PATRICK!!!” yelled Anna as she slammed her hands on the table. Then all of a sudden, her eyes darkened and fire was around them and on the tips of her fingers, “I am the Phoenix and something as simple as a fucking duel is not going to kill me. It will take something much greater than that to kill me,”

Silence. It felt like all the air had been sucked out of the room and that the walls were closing in. I was at a loss for words because the girl in front of me was supposed to be a myth.

“That’s… that’s not possible,” I whispered.

I looked around the room to see everyone else’s reactions. Lavanya had her hand over her mouth, Anastasia was staring at Anna with huge eyes, and Cideon was gaping at her like a koi fish. But I noticed that the rest of the group did not react. If anything, Ariana looked annoyed and Justin let out a frustrated sigh. That’s when it clicked. They’ve known this whole time. They hid that she was actually a phoenix, I thought to myself before turning back to Anna and Patrick. Patrick looked surprised but then he just shook his head as he collapsed into a chair. I turned my eyes to Anna and to my surprise she looked relieved. Her eyes looked livelier, she stood up straighter, and her shoulders completely relaxed. It was like a weight had been taken off her chest.

“Well… the cat’s out of the bag I guess,” laughed Anna. Ariana opened her mouth but Anna cut her off, “Don’t. Just don’t Ari. I was getting tired of keeping it a secret anyway,”

Anya crossed her arms and said “So you decided to keep the fact that you are actually a phoenix from us because…”

“Because we didn’t know who we could trust,” said Patrick as he sat up in his chair. “Especially after the assassination attempt during the ball,”

“I wanted to be 100% sure that you guys wouldn’t try to do something to take my powers. I knew I could trust you a while ago but… there was just never a right time to tell you. At least now you know and I can stop hiding it,”

“So that’s why you can’t get hurt by fire,” sighed Cideon

“Yes. And I am truly sorry for keeping you four in the dark. But I just… I needed to know I could fully trust you and that no one else but you four would find out,”

I nodded at her, “I understand and while I’m not happy at all at what you did… I understand why,”

The others nodded at her and she smiled back. Anna then clapped her hands together, “Now! Seeing as everyone knows now… let’s talk about how I’m not gonna die,”

Chapter 29: Not Everything is like the Movies

Anna’s POV

I sat up, coughed a bit, and then jumped out of my ship ready for a fight. But none came. Instead, I was surrounded by smoke and eerie silence. The explosion of the ships had caused most of the ships to be damaged and I knew that I had to get out of there. “Jackson? Michael?” I called out into the smoke

“Anna? That you?”

“Yeah. I can’t see you Michael, but I’ll head towards your voice. Did Jackson make it too?”

“I’m right here! Wait you can’t see me… ah ha! I found a flashlight and I’m waving. So head toward the light!”

By now some of the smoke had cleared up which meant we didn’t have a lot of time before this room would be ambushed. I quickly hurried over to Jackson and Michael did the same. Then we hurried down the nearest hall and hid in a corridor. I turned to the boys.

“So… any idea about how we get out of here?” Michael asked as he checked for guards

“We’re not leaving just yet,” I said

“We aren’t?”

“No. We’ve made it this far, so let’s finish the job. We’ve got to disable or destroy this ship. This was the one that was so well protected that it has to be the main ship,”

(Play song 16) “Alright let’s do this then,” said Jackson before he opened the door to our left and slipped inside.

We entered what appeared to be some sort of main hallway and before we could even take a step, three spherical droids appeared and began shooting lasers at us. “Shit get back!” cried Jackson as he shoved me into the wall to my left.

I looked across the hallway to see Michael ducking out of the way of the droids. He then nodded at Jackson, and it was as if they got some sort of message across “Now what?” I asked Jackson

“Let me take them out,” called Michael as he popped his head around the corner to get a look at the droids again. “If I aim for the centre of their circuits, it should either destroy them or at least shut them down enough that we can get by,”

I knew that neither Michale nor Jackson had any sort of weapon on them which meant that I was going to have to toss him my gun. “Ugh fine but if you damage my gun--”

“You will never hear the end of it,” laughed Jackson

“Just please be careful. And I don’t have that many bullets so don’t waste them either,”

Michale nodded and I threw my gun at him. He caught it with one hand, spun around the corner, and fired three single shots. Then it was silent again. I looked around the corner to see that all three droids had been destroyed and sparks were flying from their circuits.

“Nice shot Michael but we should hurry. Aslan knows how many of those are out there. I don’t have enough bullets for the three of us,”

“You’re right. Let’s see if we can find some sort of map or control panel. That’ll help a lot. Hey and if we’re lucky we might even find some weapons,” said Michael as he went to hand me my gun back but I shook my head at him.

“It makes the most sense for two of us to have a weapon rather than me holding on to both. Sorry, Jack but I’m keeping the other one,”

“It’s fine but yeah let’s get moving,” said Jackson as we ran down the hallway. We turned left and ended up in front of two floating black objects.

They had spotted us by now as they zipped back and forth rapidly shooting at us. I rolled forward so that I was underneath them, I fired two shots bringing them both down. After waving away the smoke, I picked one of them up and looked at it.

“What are you looking for?” asked a puzzled Jackson

“If this is anything like the movies then there might be some sort of key on this that’ll help us open doors. And… Ah ha! Like this,” I held up the key card that came out of the machine after poking the right button.

“Great let’s hurry up though, I hear more droids on the way,”

I nodded and used the card to open the door in front of us. This time we were met with guards who had guns. It then dawned on me that I could use my magic since it was just Michael and Jackson. I smirked at them before lighting my hands up. The guards were caught off guard by this so I had time to shoot two fireballs at them before they could say anything. I then snapped my fingers to put out my hands, walked forward to the kiosk in front of us, and started to look at the map when I noticed Jackson and Michael weren't behind me.

“What?”

“Uh how about… Why didn’t you do that earlier?” laughed Jackson

“Yeah that is a good question,” said Michael

“Well… I kinda forgot about it,” I let out a sigh after I saw their face. Turning back to the kiosk I continued, “It’s just that last time I was using my powers all time but here since… since I’m having to keep it a secret, I almost forget I have my power. I’m honestly tired-- never mind. Anyway look, I found the location of the main power generator plus the location of an escape pod,”

I watched Jackson give me a look of mild concern which I just shook my head. I was not in the mood to talk about the struggle I was having with hiding my powers. Michael came up beside me and raised an eyebrow, “All I see is a layout of ships and where guards are,”

“Exactly. The area with the most guards is clearly where the power source is or something important. And if I just click… here-- you’ll see the circuitry of the ship showing the spot where all the wires connect,”

“Wow ok I would have not have figured that out,” laughed Jackson as he zoomed in on the map

“I’m thanking Aslan that I decided to actually pay attention to my teacher in electronics 101. Now escape pods seem to be here,” I said pointing to the hallway with the only possible spot for the small ships.

“Great so all we have to do is go out the door we came, turn left, kill the power, make a right and run all the way to the other end of the ship and escape. Sounds easy enough,”

We then quickly left the room and ran down the hallway to where the power source was supposed to be. I barely had time to look around due to how fast I was running, all I really saw was long hallways that looked empty. Coming up to the door, I quickly used the key card to open the door. Right as the door opened, I stopped and held my arm out to prevent the boys from pushing us further. It was almost like something out of a cartoon. We all stumbled backwards and caught our breaths.

“Thanks,” gasped Jackson

“No-- problem. I’m just glad I looked up before charging into the room,” I said while standing upright

I looked out into the room, narrowing my eyes. Instead of having a floor, there was one bridge to the control panel of the power and the rest was a one-way ticket to death. I gently tapped my foot on the bridge and saw what made me push us back the first time. A green laser came out of nowhere engulfing the bridge. If I know anything about movies, these will either trigger an alarm, burn us, or cause the bridge to collapse. Just great I thought to myself.

“Well this shouldn’t be too hard,” said Michael as he took a step forward

“No Michael wait--” but I was caught off by him contorting his body into a weird shape in order to pass through the first few lasers. I stared at him with my jaw on the floor.

“Didn’t I tell you I’m a man with many talents,”

“Whatever… just get to the other side,” I huffed as Jackson laughed

“You really should’ve seen your face,”

“Oh shut up,”

I turned back to watch Micheal. He was ducking, jumping, and contorting his body in ways I did not know you could move. His foot was turned out as he slipped through two incredibly tight lasers. It was very impressive to see him do a super low limbo to get underneath a low laser while also not hitting the one in front of him. He sat up and the gears in his head were turning before he made his next step. Which was backflipping over the next few lasers.

“Show off,” I called while also trying not to laugh

“But hey I made it over here,”

He then flipped the switch that turned off the lasers. I rolled my eyes again at him as I walked across the bridge. “Wipe that smirk off your face,”

Michael continued to smirk as Justin and I went to investigate the control panel. When we got there, I stared blankly at the panel. To me, it looked like a bunch of wires and buttons that I had absolutely no clue about. I turned and raised an eyebrow at Jackson.

“Well if I’m right then this is a batten wiring system,” he trailed off for a minute before speaking again, “which means as long as I--”

But instead of waiting for him to finish his sentence, I yanked my gun out, and just shot the board. “There no you don’t have to think,”

“WHAT THE FUCK ANNA?!?” yelled Jack as he stared hopelessly at the now smoking board

“What? You were taking way too long,”

Michale laughed and patted Jack on the head, “It’s ok buddy, you should’ve known that she wants to do the job the quickest,”

I laughed and was about to start heading to the exit when the whole ship started shaking. “What the…”

“And that is why I was taking my time to figure out the board!”

I whipped my head around to him, “What do you mean by that!”

“Oh now you wanna know,” he folded his arms but the ship shook again which caused him to grab the nearest pole to balance himself.

“Yes, so you better start talking,”

“Well, I was about to say that if I carefully reroute the wires, I would be able to set a delay from when the ship would blow up. But someone had to be impatient and reckless and shoot the damn thing. So congratulations you destroyed the ship and we have less than five minutes to get off and away from the blast zone. Way to go, Anna,”

“How the hell was I supposed to know oh dear cousin! They always just shot it in the movies!”

“BUT THIS ISN’T A MOVIE!!!”

“BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!!!” yelled Michale which caused us both to stop talking and look at him. “We need to get out of her and you two fighting is just wasting time,”

“He’s right. Let’s go,” I said before falling over because of the shaking of the ship. That was when a column started to fall. “Run,”

The next thing I knew was that I was running as fast as I could down the hallway all while trying not to fall over. It was then I realised how stupid it was to just shoot the board. Thank Aslan that luck is on my side and I didn’t knock out the artificial gravity unit I thought to myself. Just then the ship started to tilt. Everyone in the hallway fell over and it was by some miracle no one saw us. Then again we are all running for our lives I told myself as I yanked myself to my feet as well as Jackson.

“There. That’s an escape pod,” I said pointing to a door not five feet from us.

“Great let’s hope you can fly it,”

“I’m not the pilot here Jack. That’s you,” I said as we walked through the door. But then our next problem lay before us. There were two people already in the pod. I had my gun out before either of them could do anything. Michale did the same.

“Hands in the air and slowly back away from the controls,” I said darkly

“And we can’t all escape together because…” one of them asked

“I’m not in the mood to take prisoners,” I said before quickly moving my aim to the second person who had tried to pull out their gun and shot their hand. “Now out,”

“Anna just let them come with us,” Jackson tried to reason but then realised what he said

“Anna? As in the Anna Kesler? The one who started the whole war? Oh no, not a chance in hell are we letting you go now,” said the sarcastic one

“Fuck this,” said Michale before he shot the sarcastic one in the head and turned his attention back to the silent one, “Are you gonna leave or not?”

“I-I know how to fly this! Please just take me with you,”

“Michael, you have three seconds to get him out here before I shoot him,” I said through gritted teeth.

“Ok ok I’ll leave. See, slowly getting up now,”

I watched as the guy left and right before the door closed I made a decision. The bang of my gun rang out very loudly scaring the crap out of Jackson who had just started to turn on the ship.

“Jesus Christ Anna! You didn’t have to kill him,”

“He saw our faces,” was all I said before taking a seat. The mothership behind us then started making a lot of noises. “Uh, Jack the faster the better,”

“I’m trying!” he said before the ship came to life, “Yes let’s go!”

He then yanked on some lever and we launched into space right as the mothership really started to explode. I watched as the entire fleet blew up. Smiling I turned to Jackson who seemed to figure out how to fly the ship. “You think I might be able to reach the Centurion?”

“Possibly, here I know what frequencies their radio is on and how to work the coms,” Michael said as he came to the panel of buttons by me.

I nodded and we started to work together to see if we could get contact.

About ten minutes later we thought we had figured it out. “Ok, Anna give it a try on this frequency,”

“Centurion? Centurion, can you hear me? This is Black leader.”

We waited for a minute and only heard the static of the radio. “Hmm… try this frequency. I’ve switched it to dual-band mode so it might work better,”

I nodded before trying again, “Centurion do you read me? It’s--”

“Lady Anna?” said someone in shock on the other end

“Yeah, it’s me. Can you give me to Patrick?”

“Yes of course m’lady,”

“Anna? Oh my god is it really you,”

“Yeah yeah listen for a second. We’ve managed to destroy their entire fleet. So we’re on our way back now. We can actually see the planet from here and it’s beautiful really. I mean honestly, we might just meet you back on the ground. Anyway, I need you to make sure that we actually got them all. Oh, and can you be the one to tell Ariana that I may or may not have destroyed their prototype ship…”

“Fine. But are you really ok?”

“Yes. I swear I’m-- shit Jack! Look out!” I yelled right as a fighter ship shot at us

“FUCK!” yelled Jackson as he tried to miss the shot fired at us but it was too late. We were hit instantly and the ship started to shake.

“Anna? ANNA! Talk to me!” yelled Patrick from the radio

But before I could respond the radio went dead and we started to drop like dead weight. Luckily we were close enough to the planet that we entered the atmosphere. However, the escape pod started going off like some sort of alarm clock. There was so much noise that it was hard to think. I could feel the panic setting. But before I could reach the world went black for some odd reason and the next thing I knew was that I was knocked out in a ship falling down to Thalassa.
