The Voyage of Thirteen (A Lorien Legacies Fanfic)

23. About Our Pendants

(Fifteen's POV)

I can see how dumb Greyson is doing.

I just told him to read his letter because I noticed that he keeps on looking at it. Well, it's from Leighn, and I don't know why he keeps on worrying about Leighn's death. I mean, yeah, he sacrificed himself to save Thirteen and all. If I can give anything just to give him gratitude of saving him, then I will. But now he's dead... (Well, I rather no to say it anymore)

What's the connection of Greyson with Leighn, anyway? He was supposed to write for his own Garde, and yet he wrote for someone he never met even before. Though, I can tell that his name sounds familiar with me before. Maybe from the Memories, if I'm not mistaken.

So I sat on the nearest deck in the quarterdeck. This is where Rex usually spends his time a lot with Jian and Night. I missed him more than anyone else will in this ship. I mean, he's the first person who helped me to find the other Garde, and he's been our father and our Cepan. He's good in fighting skills and battle plans.

But now that he's gone, and a battle ship follows us the next day, makes me think of what Greyson told me about him. I trust him and I know it could not be him. He will never do that. We've been together before I met Greyson so I know him well.

I open Greyson's laptop and activate my pocket Wi-Fi. I bought it from Philippines while we're solving Fourteen's cases. It's funny how to think, that until now, Greyson still wonders why we gain access on the internet at the ship. I rather not to tell him about that.

I try to search for any news about Fourteen and Twelve. Maybe another silly spiral crop circles. Really, how dumb is Fourteen. If I were him, I would never do what he did. He shares his crop circles to the world. It's just like telling the Mog, "Hey, I'm right here. Kill me now, will you?" And now his dot in the Device was missing.

I was a bit worried of him. I don't want to lose any from the member of the Garde. If he could just think before he acted... Well, he looks really like his brother.

Anyway, I tried to search for something but unfortunately, I found nothing.

I try to open the Device along with the radio Rex used. I keep on repeating the recording about the weird voice, though I don't really know why. The projected holographic version of Earth spins slowly, showing the dots. I realize the blue dots are gone again, leaving the four red dots for us. Oh, did I mention that Fourteen's dot was missing since Rex checked it yesterday?

As I listen to the recording, recorded by the Mogs, I keep on wondering about Rex's theory about Fourteen working with the Mogs. Oh, I mean my theory. Sorry.

It's just didn't seem right. I would like to believe he's actually working with them. But, I have to trust he's still one of us. Besides, even if I'm in his situation, I would never, ever, help the Mogs' cause and fight against my own people.

I stop the recording immediately because I don't think it's helping me. I shut the Device close, and just before I can even turn around to close Greyson's laptop, the screen buzz. When I look over the screen, the website changed back into the site I used to post using Loric language. Someone messaged me or something, so I look over at it.

"We are everywhere, and we will always find you."

I delete the message because it could be (first) some annoying people just trying to mess me up, or (second) the Mogs found my account and leave me a message.

I look over some of the posts, but all of them are already gone. That means someone's already deleted it. It could be the Mogs or maybe hackers.

I deleted my account immediately for safety. Just to be sure. I don't want to be caught just because I keep on using my account. I'm sure this laptop is not protected, and I'm not skilled enough to fix this laptop. Sometimes, human technologies are very hard to fix, though they are very similar to what we used back in Lorien.
