Liz takes my arm as we walk back to our rooms. I'm glad to have her here, safe and sound. Now we just have to be sure that everyone stays that way.
*Are you sure you're okay, I get the feeling there's more than you said... What did you mean by staying permenantly out of the picture...?* Liz asks silently. She's trying not to worry Xan, which is exactly why I haven't explained it fully, anyway. I don't want to be an alarmist. They did seem ready to abandon the plan when they'd realized they'd been caught, but I'm still concerned.
*What I told you before, Liz. They were talking about having me killed again so Xadalyn would get the seal. I can see the alarm flashing in Liz's eyes and I hasten to assure her. *It's only a few people who really felt that way, I think. They abadoned the plan when they realized I was there. Larak thinks we're safe, but he'll be posting a few guards anyway.*
*They don't know about Xan and the prophesy. If I died, Xada and Xan would both get the seal and the power at the same time. It would be like last night, but nobody would be able to control them. They're not ready.* I tell her. I don't have any idea how much time it will take until they are 'ready.' A year? Five years? Twenty-five? Right now, I have no way to know. I only hope I can 'chose' to let them wait for as long as they need to.
By now, I see that we're outside our rooms. Sarah to the right and Justin on the left and our room right next to Sarah's. It all seems quiet here. I push open Justin's door and see his sleeping form on the bed. All clear. "Maybe you should be asleep, too, after we check on Sarah," I tell Xan with a grin. I know he's mature enough that he doesn't need me to send him to bed, but we've all had an eventful day.

Xan doesn't immediately respond and I'm sure he's thinking of his sister. Sarah has powers and she has her ... grandmother ... with her, so checking Justin had seemed to be the first one check. Turning to Liz, I ask her, "Where did you leave Sarah and my mother?" I ask.
It's strange to speak of this woman as my mother. Diane Evans has been the one I've called mother and I hardly know Adayla. On the other hand, I have been thinking about her since even before the message in the cave and there is something just familiar about her.
"They were in Xadalyn's apartment," Liz says.
"Okay," I nod as I head towards that door. I could just call telepathically, but there's a chance that Sarah's asleep. A traumatic flash often wears her out and I wouldn't want to wake her. As for Adayla -- I don't want to announce myself that way until we've had more time to be re-acquainted. I didn't notice which way Xadalyn went after the meeting. I wonder if she's gotten here first or if she went on some other errand.
I stop and knock on the door. "Xadalyn? Mother? Is Sarah still in there?"

Suddenly there is a knock on the door and it startles us enough that I end up pushing Daimeon onto the floor. He lands with a soft thud and I have to hold my hand over my mouth to keep from giggling at the look on his face.
"Xadalyn? Mother? Is Sarah still in there?" I hear Max asks and its all I can do to keep the laughter from my voice though I don’t do a very good job at it. “Sarah and Adayla are in the gust room Sarah was using.” I tell him. “I’m getting ready for bed, I’ll see you in the morning, Max.”

" Adayla, I'm sorry I can't continue this, I really need to talk to my father. Can send someone to get him for me?" Sarah asks.
“I’m sure he’ll be back any moment and if not then I’ll send someone.” I say. If he’s in a Council Meeting then maybe they’ll be able to work things out and I don’t want to disturb them.
I decide to make small talk a little while longer before worrying. “So Sarah what do you think of Antar?”

~*~Sarah~*~
"So Sarah what do you think of Antar?” Adayla ask me, And for a moment I really don't know how to answer that. But I guess I could try/ " its beautiful, and tiring as well." I told her honest. I turn my attention back to the sky and suddenly I heard voices outside door again.
I stop and look at it, and held my breathe as I see my door in slowly opening. Oh God, I'm going to died. I didnt think it be this early. I'm too young to died. I felt tears run down my face as I soon find out the killer of my death that will come soon...

I hear Xadalyn's answer but I can't help but note the strange tone of her voice. Almost like she was laughing. I don't quite understand it but concidering the fact that I've just made it clear that she's currently not the Queen of Antar, it could be worse. She could be angry at me for what I did at the meeting. I'm not particularly happy about it myself. Still, the laughter doesn't quite make sense. And was there a thump of some kind, too?
"All right, I'll see you then," I say, resisting the urge to question what was going on. I don't get the impression she was in danger or distress... maybe she was just reading something amusing?
Reluctantly, now, I head down the hallway with Liz and Alexander. We go back toward the three rooms we've been using since we got here. I tap lightly on Sarah's door.
"Sarah honey? Are you awake?" I call softly. My tap has caused the door to move and I realise that it wasn't fully shut. I assume that means she's not asleep, but I push it open, cautiously just in case. "Sarah? Mother?" I ask.

" its beautiful, and tiring as well.” Sarah says and the door opens and I hear Max’s voice. "Sarah? Mother?" I hear Max’s voice and smile. “We’re in here.” I say and then I notice Sarah has started crying.
“Dear what’s wrong?” I say resting my hand on her shoulder and I have to hold back the urge to pull the crying girl into my arms. I look back over to Max. "She was fine a second ago..."

I'm dismayed to see Sarah in tears. She's been hyper-emotional ever since we got here. I don't know if it's because we're on a new world, or her new sister, or just because she's fifteen, but she seems to be having a really hard time of it. From what Liz and Xan have said, there might be a good reason this time. Those frightening flashes that they witnessed and she wouldn't share.
I sit next to Sarah, pulling her into a tight hug. "What is it, sweetie? What happened?"

Max's response as he explains what's happened does nothing to reassure me, but at least he is being honest, and that's important for me... Max tries to assure me that it was a minority who were in favour of this extreme plan, adding that Larek's going to be posting a few guards, and this last does go a little way to making me feel better. That doesn't mean I'm not worried about Xan and Sarah though, or even Xada, I'll always worry about Xan and Sarah, and now Xada enters into my thoughts too... I've only known her two days, but I get the feeling that she's been through far more than a girl, or rather woman, her age should ever do...
Max mentions the seal, reitterating his belief that neither of them are ready for full control of their powers, and after what happened last night, I can't say that I don't agree... I nod discretely, making no other comment for the moment, and concentrating on Xan as Max pushes open the door to the room he and Justin are sharing and suggest he should maybe sleep after we've seen Sarah's okay.
I smile at the gentle tone in his voice. He's always been a wonderful father, and I know he always will be...
As Max turns to me, asking where I left Sarah and his 'mother' - that does sound rather strange having known Diane as his 'mother' for so long - and if it's strange for me, I can only begin to wonder how it must be for him... Of course Adayla being alive doesn't change the fact of Diane being his mother, she's brought him up, just like me with Xan... Hearing him call me mom earlier was so wonderful, to know that he doesn't resent me for having kept the truth from him, and to know that he still accepts me...
I look over silently at Xan, watching him for a moment after responding that I left them in Xada's quarters. We make our way there, and Max knocks on the door. There's something which sounds like a thud, and then Xada responds, sounding almost...amused...? After what just happened, I would hardly have expected that and can't help wondering if there's something else going on that's not so obvious...
Her statement that she'll see him tomorrow though, leaves me in no doubt that whatever is going on is going to remain a mystery however, and since she told us that Sarah and Adayla have gone back to the guest room, our little group heads back to Sarah's room, and Max again knocks on the door, finding it only pushed to and calling out as it swings open.
To my horror, I'm met by the sight of my daughter in flood of tears, held in the arms of her 'grandmother'... What on earth... Maybe that's not the best choice words really, but if you'll pardon my pun, I'm far more interested in Sarah right now... Ever since we got here, her emotions have seemed to be on a rollercoaster and I haven't really known what to do for the best... I've tried to comfort her, reassure her, tried to help and encourage her, but nothing seems to work...
If I had to guess, I'd say this has something to do with the visions she wouldn't talk about though, and this only reinforces my belief that we need to know... Still, one thing at a time... As Max moves to sit next to her, pulling her into his arms and asking what's wrong, I too move forward, stopping just short, but then shooting Adayla a small smile of thanks as she moves to the side slightly to allow me to get close.
I slip in between her and Sarah, running my hand over her beautiful hair. "It's okay sweetheart, you're safe, we're not going to let anything happen to you..." I tell her softly, drawing on what little she said about her visions in an attempt to provide some comfort.

~*~Sarah~*~
"What is it, sweetie? What happened?" my dad ask me as he hug me tightly. I didn't meant to cry, I just wish mom and him didn't come in the way they did. They just startle me that's all. “It’s okay sweetheart, you're safe, we're not going to let anything happen to you..." My mom tells me, and I really wish I could believe her, I really do.
I pulled away from them and whipped my tears away. “I’m fine....." I said to them. I know I become distant to them, I hardly talk to them, and I don't share everything with them anymore.
"Really I'm fine...." I said.
*flashes*
"XAN! SARAH!" I see my father dieing on the ground, and I start crying. Seeing him cover in blood, his blood scares me. I turn to Xan “We have to do something" I yell at him.
Suddenly I felt the congress people use their powers on us. "NOOOOOOOOOOO! XAN! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I scream in pain.
"For the sake of Xada and Antar" they tell us.
I look at my parents. I looked away from them, I walk to the window and watches the moons.
