Chapter 15

Emma Farmount

    Win. Win. Win.  Yay I won 3 out of 4 games of 1 for 1 black.  Then Alice woke up.  Finally.  It was time to get some answers on what happened, and where we were going.
    "Hmm?  What happened?  Where are we?" Alice said as she came out of a peaceful sleep.
    "Well Clay is driving, and you've been sleeping.  That's pretty much all we know."  Thomas said helping her sit up.  Hopefully she'll tell us.  She has too...Right?
    "Where's Christopher? He's not..."
    "No he's still sleeping."  Right as Thomas said that ...
    "Who said I was still sleeping?"  CHRISTOPHER!!!  I ran over and hugged him.. He kissed me on the cheek, and said it's okay.
    "Well since we are all awake I guess I'll explain what I know.  All right so after Christopher was thrown against the tree, Cia and I engaged in fighting.  Nothing much happened until Thomas charged Cia.  Then after Thomas was knocked out she threatened to kill him.  So I tackled her.  That's when she cut me pretty bad.  After that it was pretty much a blur.  I slightly remember seeing Clay pull up in his truck,, and him firing at Cia.  She looked like she was hurt so she ran.  After that I blacked out.""  Wow she went through a lot to protect us.  I feel so bad that I didn't do anything.
    "Woah. That seems intense, and after all that your hair still smells great."  Christopher was right about that.  Her hair really does smell good.  We all had a good laugh.  We all returned to our normal seats, but Alice and Thomas shared a seat.
    "So how long until we get to the colony, Clay?"  Christopher asked.
    "Only about an hour left.  Well we can kill time listening to music."  So we listened to music.  We listened to the newest artist of our time.  J.J. Tucker.  Their music has a great beat.  We slowed down when we got to the clearing.
    "Um is this a magic trick or something cause I only see a meadow?"  Thomas asked Alice.
    "Sorta.  Here follow me."  As we got closer we started to see towers, and a gate.
    "Halt!  State your name.  You have 20 seconds before you are blown to bits."  A guard who was dressed in a normal camouflage uniform yelled.
    "We are the 4. Alice Lumiathin, Thomas Marsin, Emma Farmount, and Christopher Belneu.  We also have brought along the rebel Clay Shiloh."
    "Why does Alice always put me last?"  Christopher pouted to me.
    "You may enter."  The other twin guard yelled.  Alice led us through the gate.  The colony was huge.  There were normal houses, restaurants, and anything a normal city would have.   Except, the colony was smaller than a city.
    "So can you explain the whole meadow then colony thing?"  I decided to ask.
    "Many many mirrors.  A magicians best friend."  Wow mirrors.  Thats cool.  We kept walking until we were greeted by guy who seemed to be in his 20's.
    "Alice!"  He hugged Alice.
    "Derek!  I can't believe it's really you!"  Who's Derek, and why do they know each other?
    "Um hello other people still standing here."  Thomas looked jealous.
    "Oh sorry.  Guys this is Derek.  Derek is my older brother."  Alice explained grinning ear to ear.  Wait,  wait, wait...OLDER BROTHER!  WHAT!?
    "Nice to meet you. I'm Thomas."  Of course he would want to make a good impression on her brother.
    "I'm Christopher."
    "Hi my name is Emma."  I introduced. 
    "Well I just wanted to stop, and say hi.  I will let you all get to your houses, and settled in."  Derek said, then ran back to a squad that was waiting for him.
    "All right.  Well there isn't much to show you.  We have pretty much everything including a Moonbucks."
    "Ooooh."  All 3 of us said.
    "I'll show you all to your houses.  Emma your house is closest so let's go then."  Alice concluded.  As we walked we all talked about normal teenage things.  Alice mainly listened, because she wasn't a normal teenager.  We came up to my house.  It was red brick, and looked pretty big.  The grass was green, and there was a path leading to the porch, and a door.  We all walked up to the door, and rang the doorbell.  My parents came out, and hugged and all 3 of us started crying.
    "Thank you Alice."
    "No problem.  Oh Emma, tomorrow meet us a Moonbucks around 10:00 A.M. for some coffee, and to discuss training."
    "Sounds good."  With that my parents, and I disappeared into our house.
