Chapter 44: Crossroads. The final part.

Finally done with Chapter 44.
On to the next person in line <3.

--

Alexander grabbed Icarus and Jesse and took one last breath before the cockpit had filled itself with water. He looked behind him and noticed Verity pointing at the broken front window.
It was completely under water which meant they would be able to swim out of it without being pulled back into the ship.
It was a long way up however and the slender rabbit did not look like much of an atlethe.
He swam upwards and made rapid progress when Icarus smacked him in the face. He was still out cold but it seemed as if he had a frightening nightmare.
Alexander knew he had to hurry when Icarus gasped for breath and inhaled the filthy water of the lake.
Verity's agile body shot past him and reached the shore before he did.
She surfaced and gasped for breath pulling Naomi onto the shore. She took a second to capture her breath and pushed down on her chest to get the water out of her lungs.
The water ran down Naomi's cheek in small streams and she gasped for breath, still out cold.
She shot up as she heard the splash behind her. Alexander appeared holding Jesse by the fur of the neck. "Where is Icarus?" Verity called out to him as Alexander pushed Jesse out of the water.
"He will be right here little lady." He dived back into the blurry water of the lake, Icarus was slowly sinking to the bottom, kicking and punching making him sink even more rapidly.
'Oh no, you don't. You're all going to live.' Alexander thought as he grabbed Icarus by the arm and brought him safely to the surface.
"Quick, get out of the way." He shouted at Verity as he threw the rabbit down to the ground and pushed down on his chest.
"Oh god, it's not working." Verity panicked and looked over at Naomi who seemed to be in a peaceful slumber. "It's not fair." She mumbled as she thought of Raphael.
Alexander did his best to save the life of this stranger. "Come on man, breathe."
Icarus coughed and sat up straight. "No, no!" He shouted as he tried to whipe the sand from his fur.
It took him a moment to adjust to the fact that he was back in the real world. It had been the second time he had the vision and it had been the exact same as the one he had before.
The voice in his head that told him everyone would live, the mansion and the calm patch of grass and the deep grave he was thrown in and in which he had been covered with sand that entered his mouth, nose and eyes.
He coughed but there was no sand, just water. And everyone lived, just like his vision had told him.
"Naomi." He shouted and he crawled over to her on his hands and knees. "Naomi." He kissed her and stopped panicking when he saw her breathing softly.

Alexander overlooked the smoking engine, it had died down and did not pose any threat of explosion. He examined the close premesis to notice if they had attracted the attention of the creatures of the night.
Everything seemed quite, but it often did before all hell broke loose.
“Thank you for coming to our aid. The name is Verity.” The slender rabbit walked over to him with graceful paces and reached her hand out to him. “The name is Alexander Garand and it was my pleasure.” He told her as he shook it.
He looked over to the other rabbit who was holding the other girl in his arms. “Icarus.” He spoke giving him a quick glance before focusing his attention on the woman he seemed to care a great deal about.
“That's Naomi and this guy here is Jesse Aimon.”
“Sounds familiar.” Alexander said, but he gave it no further thought since Jesse seemed to have woken up.


“We are wanted for plotting against the senators life?” Susan needed a moment to let this news sink in.
"I am wanted for plotting against the senators life?" She repeated softer, her look focused on a trash bin in the far distance, her mind wandering. She saw herself behind bars, eating food out of a tin, unwashed cup with a wooden spoon. Surrounded by hags that were out to brutally ravage her.
"You!" She stood up and pointed her finger at Louie who took a step back. If he had learned one thing about Susan, it was that you do not mess with her. Ever.
She slapped him hard across the face. "You got us into this mess, I demand you do something about it right now!" She crossed her arms and looked at him.
Louie sighed and scratched his head. "Hey, don't get cocky with me. You're going to straighten this mess out and when we're done, I'm going home. Thomas, come with me."
They boarded the train and left Yakira, Tier and Louie standing on the platform. Tier laughed at Louie. "She's a fiesty one, isn't she?"
He followed the loving couple onto the train.
Louie walked up to Yakira to look at the rising sun, covering the trainstation in a romantic, orange glow. He wish he could share this sight with her.
"What will happen to us?" Yakira's question remained unanswered as the conductor motioned for them to come aboard.
Tier shoved his shell in the comfortable cushions of the Earian Express as the television sets in the train were automatically turned on.
Several health product commercials flashed by before the early morning bulletin started.
"Ahum, you might want to watch this." Tier told the others when a newsreport about Gary Parker came up.
The text on the bottom of the screen read 'Governor Parker issues statement about fugitives.'
"Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you not to panic. As you can see, I'm still in one piece." Faint laughter could be heard from the reporters.
"An attempt has been made on my life, but I ask you not to fear. The fugitives can not run far, police are looking for them nationwide and knowing them to be quality men and women, I am sure they will not rest before all of them will be apprehended." The reporters rose up and put up their hands, dying to ask the new governor a question.
"I am proud to tell you that they have already been brought in for questioning and they are interrogated now. It will not be long before we have found their companions. I must go for now, but I ask you again not to panic."
The silence in the coupe was broken by Yakira. "Two of us have been captured?"
She did not notice their portraits were shown on television. The other passengers in the train had noticed the group of fugitives and were nervously whispering to one another.
"Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea." Thomas put his hand on Susan's, the poor thing was shivering with fear.
They heard raised voices come from the next coupe and the door opened. In came a group of heavily armored soldiers, armed to the teeth with the most advanced weapons.
"You are under arrest for plotting against the assassination of a political figure, do not resist or we will open fire."
