Aurora Kom Skaikru {2}//DISCONTINUED

The Blood of Sanctum

Aurora

"Aurora, Abby. What are you doing?" Niylah questions

"That's not Aurora and Abby." Indra frowns

"Very good. We got our nightblood despite what I'm told you did with Kane. Now you have 3 seconds to stand down." I threaten

"Or what? If you kill them, we kill you."

I put the gun against Gaia's head, "1...2..."

"Weapons down." Indra orders

"Told ya. Aurora's memories may suck but they do come in handy."

We take everyone into the cafeteria so they wouldn't be able to escape.

"How many more of you are awake?" Simone questions

"None." Indra says

"You sure? We'll sweep the ship. Anyone we find dies. And for each of them, so does one of you. Care to amend your answer?" Simone threatens

"No."

"We're setting sail for planet beta. That's a 20 year journey. You can take it with us peacefully in cryo. Or you can die today. We'll give you an hour to decide." Russell says

"Attack!" Madi yells

Surprisingly, everyone obeys her orders and they die while trying to kill the guards.

Something's... off.

"We're the only ones who give orders here." I say before knocking her out

I quickly give a knowing glance at Gaia before leaving

Gaia

Aurora gave a a "look" after Madi had ordered our people to attack. I was surprised myself and checked to see if I still had the Flame on me.

Only I didn't.

"Madi!" I scold

"Yes, Seda?" She smirks

"Please tell my you didn't steal the Flame."

Silence

"Madi! You had no right. Aurora is Heda, not you." I say

"Aurora has a mind drive in her head and hasn't been able to bear the flame in weeks. If she puts it back in, she could die and you know it." Madi fires back

"Well why would the commanders tell you to attack?" I wonder

"Commanders? It's only Sheidheda now." She smirks

"Madi, how long had you had the flame for?" I stammer

"Since we were in the palace. Everyone was distracted so I used my time wisely to take it and whisper the passphrase. I just had to hope I wouldn't have much of a reaction. After that, I recited the lineage while you were away." Madi shrugs

"If sheidheda's in there..." Raven trails off

"We cannot let him command Wonkru. We have to get him out." I say

"On it. There's a computer upstairs in medbay. Let's go we have no time to loose."

"Devotion like that is dangerous. They obeyed her even though they knew they would die." Russell stresses

"Just wait. Planet beta... we don't know if it's survivable or not."

"If I didn't then we'll go to Gamma. Then Delta, then Epsilon. We wouldn't even have to land to know if it's survivable. Come on. We were explorers once, weren't we?" Russell tries to convince us
