The Moon And His Star

Back To Your Roots

Jamila sat in the plane with layla on one side and luna on the other.

It had been quite some time since she had travelled so she was nervous, but layla's stories about the two of them kept her entertained.

"We were like sisters." Layla told her. "We are sisters layla. You know so much about me. Even more than i know about myself i don't doubt you. I'm just trying to wrap my head around why Marc would do this?" Jamila said.

"You were tired because he served that bird brain Khonshu. Even though you helped him on some missions Marc didn't want you there. He's very protective over you. So you were left out. I know this because You'd come and tell me." Layla explained.

"So he just made me forget everything? Did he know i was pregnant? He must have known. I would never keep something as big as that away from him." Jamila wondered.

"I think you did Jamila. You told me, but then you disappeared. I tried calling you. Contacting you, but Marc said not too and that he was going to keep you safe. I assumed that you both were in hiding. Then i got that phone call from Steven and i thought you guys needed my help so i came. I dont think i imagined the situation to be this bad." Layla said.

"This is insane. Its a like a bad movie." Jamila commented. Layla chuckled slightly. "Super heroes exist. You're one yourself. Aliens attack the world and you think this is the most insane thing ever." Layla said.

"Im not a superhero." Jamila commented as she looked over at luna who was looking outside the plane window in awe.

The plane had finally landed which wasn't easy for Jamila, layla and luna. Lunas ears had started hurting and she had begun to cry loudly.

Jamila hugged her and layla tried to calm her down by taking out a tawaret plushie to entertain her.

"Tawaret?" Layla questioned as luna had calmed down and they were getting ready to get off of the plane. "Steven gave it to her." Jamila said smiling. As they got off the plane.

"Wait. Do we even know where he is?" Jamila asked her as they called for a taxi. Layla held up the phone she used to track Marc the first time. "I know where he is." She grinned at Jamila as the taxi stopped in front of them.

They both had sat in the taxi as layla gave the address to the driver.

Once they had arrived at the hotel Marc was staying at Jamila got out of the taxi, but layla had remained inside. "Aren't you coming?" Jamila asked her.

Layla shook her head. "You two need to talk. Besides i just need to do something anyway. Then I'll meet you guys at the market." Layla told her.

Jamila nodded as she held onto her bag and carried luna. "Could you please take luna with you? She won't be any trouble and i just dont want her to be in the middle of whatever is about to happen." Jamila said.

Layla grinned "i'd love to spend some aunt and niece quality time with luna." She said as she looked down at the young girl.

Luna was wide awake as she looked around this new place she was at with curious eyes. She looked up layla and smiled back.

Jamila closed the taxi door and held onto her bag tighter as she looked at the hotel from outside.

Jamila took a deep breath before walking into the hotel. She knew they wouldn't tell her where he was, but luckily Layla knew exactly which room Marc was in. 

"It was the hotel Marc stayed at when he first met you. Before we all went on an expidition together. He took you their once." Layla told her.

"Wow. I cant belive I've forgotten all of this." Jamila said sadly. "Don't worry hopefully you'll remember soon." Layla said.
