"Yes, for now. Untill we can come up with a better plan." He grabbed Yakira by the hand and she could feel that he was trembling with fear over what was to come.
Her vision was improving and she was sure she'd be fine without him guiding her, but she did not want to let go off his hand and walk beside him quietly into the night.

Tony woke up the next morning with his arms around Michelle and to the smell of fresh coffee.
Michelle smiled as Tony kissed her on the cheek, she turned over to him and held him tight.
"You made me feel alive again last night." And she was so full of love and lust for life again.
Tony got out of bed and grabbed his pants as he heard a noise downstairs at the front door.
Someone came running upstairs and almost kicked the door to the spare bedroom open. Majo averted her eyes when she saw the two of them weren't dressed yet.
"Hurry up and get dressed" She said out of breath. "There's police and special armed forces and by the looks of it, they are here for the both of you."
Tony catched his clothes and got into them as fast as he could, almost ripping apart his shirt.
Michelle got dressed and grabbed Tony by the arm. "You have to get out of here, let me..." Tony put a finger on her lips.
"I'm not going anywhere without you." He kissed her again, maybe for last time, but he did not want to think of that.
Majo interupted them. "Someone ratted you out. The lot of you are all over the news. They say you are plotting to assassinate Gary Parker."

The light in the sky grew bigger and Alexander could make out the outlines of a ship that came rushing in towards the planet's surface at high speed.
The engine broke apart from it and he started running towards the lake, it crashed into the ground and the enormous force of the collision made him fall face down into the grass.
He could count himself lucky, if he had not noticed it sooner, it would have crushed him and reduced him to a sticky pile of bone and fur.
Alexander got up and followed the ship, whoever was in it would need help. And he was not about to let anyone else die today.
Naomi faced the back of Icarus chair and wanted to shout out to him that she loved her when the ship slammed into the body of water.
Water shot out of the lake and almost washed Alexander away if he hadn't grabbed on to a tree in time. The back of the ship stuck out of the water and was slowly sinking down.
There was no time to panic and hesitate and Alexander dived into the water after the ship to see if there were any survivors.
"Oh god, we have to get out of here. Icarus, Icarus please wake up." Verity shouted as water started running into the ship through cracks in the window and outer hull that were caused by the impact.
The cracks in the window grew larger every second and she knew it wasn't long before it would give in to the enormous pressure. She slapped Jesse in the face to get him back to his senses but it was of no use.
The safety belt on his chair had snapped and flung him through the cockpit. Judging by several stains of blood against the far wall he had smashed into it and then into the ground.
Jesse breathed heavily and grind his teeth together not to shout out in pain. "Please Jesse." Verity spoke softly, the other two were rendered unconscious but still breathed and had been blessed by Carrotus.
Only a small cut in Icarus' forehead and several bruises on Naomi's arms and legs, but they had bumped their heads against the back of the seats and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wake them up.
"Please, someone help us." Verity needed an extra pair of hands to get her new found friends to safety. If she opened up the door, she would only be able to swim out with one of her friends and the ship would sink to the bottom of the lake.
Out of her reach, leaving two of the people that got her to Carrotus to a cold, watery grave.
Alexander swam into view and Verity shot up. "Help us, help us!!" She shouted and knocked on the front window.
The window cracked and a large hole appeared, a stream of water ran into the cockpit, Alexander tried to swim away but he couldn't and he got caught in the stream of water that entered the ship like a small waterfall.
He was pulled towards the ship and the window caved in under his pressure. The cockpit would now be filled to the brim in a matter of seconds.
"They are all still alive, you have to help me save them." Verity looked around panicked. She usually kept a cool head, but that is what being stuck in a sinking ship minutes away from dead does to you.
"You grab her." He said as he pointed at the unconscious Naomi. He grabbed Icarus and Jesse and tried to stay above the water which was now up to his mouth.
He glanced over at the door and shouted for Verity to open it, swallowing the fresh water of the lake in the process.
The young girl let go of Naomi's body for a second to push the door open, she came up with her moments later.
"We can't get out." She coughed up some water she had accidentally swallowed. "It's no use, we're trapped in here."


Tier silently walked in front of Thomas and Susan. Followed by Louie and Yakira.
None of them said a word as they walked to Peddleburg train station.
It would take them another hour, but the cool and calm night put everyone at ease. And would help get Tier over his drunken state a little easier.
He hated all of this responsibility, he had his fair share of it in the past. Tier just wanted to be left alone, but he got in to this to deep to turn back now.
Yakira's sight returned ever so slightly. She could now make out the outlines of the people near to her. Susan's slender body holding her hand and her husband Thomas, his silver-rimmed spectacles gave a little sparkle in the moonlight.
Thin and fragile, yet he sounded so strong and confident in the midst of all of this. And he was always there for her.
Tier, the arcane turtle with the unique scent, she thought of how lonely he must've felt in the ages passed.
And the there was her protector, tall and determined and always on the look out for everyone but himself. She felt sorry for him, she just felt how scared he was and she knew he knew so, so much more then he was telling them.
She thought he must've been quite handsome as well, she had stared at his face trying to see, but her vision was too blurry still. A
And when he turned to look at her she quickly looked away and pretended to be pre occupied by the blurry trees in front of the dark background.
They arrived in Peddleburg early in the morning, right on time to catch the next train.
Thomas wanted to buy five tickets but Tier stopped him. "You might want to read this first." He said as he pushed the newspaper under Tom's nose.
The article showed holographic images of him and the other people he had been involved with over the past few months.
"This is terrible." Thomas gasped. "I know." Tier said. "It's a terrible picture."


"Step aside m'am or we will enter your house by force." A tough looking turtle covered in metallic armor stood in front of Gerda.
The entire village was overrun by men in armor and hovercraft's. "You are harboring two highly dangerous criminals suspected of assassinating Governer Parker. If you do not step aside, we will use violence."
She abided but shot the man a mean look. "Don't be to harsh on them."
He entered the small house with six other turtles while the rest of them spread out to cover the grounds making sure to leave Tony and Michelle no means of escape.
The turtle demanded that the last man closed the door and leave Gerda standing outside. "If they won't come quietly, you'll shoot them without any hesitation?"
They moved up the stairs, guns ready to be used if the occasion arised. "Tony Waterbeck and Michelle Crompton. We have a warrant for your arrest. Come with us quietly and no one will get hurt."
Michelle jumped out from behind a door aiming Tony's blaster at the turtles. "Wrong, there's going to be a world of pain awaiting you."
She opened fire and shot at the commander. She hit the metallic armor he was wearing and the bullets bounced right off of it.
He aimed his gun at Michelle and fired, but the agile rabbit managed to evade the hail of fire from the unit and jumped into the bedroom where Tony was waiting.
"We can't get out through the window." He said as he pointed to the three units waiting outside.
"You're not suggesting we'd surrender, right?" Tony looked at his feet with nothing much to say. "We're outnumbered at least fifty to one, I'd say we'd better go with them and make a run for it when the odds are a bit more even."
She kissed him and shouted for the commander to stop firing as she kicked her gun over the floor and out of the door for the unit to see.
Tony and Michelle stepped out of the room with their hands in the air.
"I think you made the right choice." Auntie Gerda walked into view.
"Thank you for turning these fugitives in ma'am." The commander told her.
"I'll do anything to keep my little girl save from these madmen."
