End of Nova

Chapter 14 | Abilities

He grabs my hand and laces his fingers in mine, and looks at me.

"When you go back, what's going to happen? To you?" He asks, I wonder that too.

"I am not sure. But, I have to go back." He brushes his thumb over my knuckles, and smiles.

"That's my little savior," He lets out a low chuckle "See?"

"I used to be called a 'little rebel' back on my home." I smile at that.

"Why?" He moves his hands from in-between us, and sits up, hovering above me.

"I used to leave the castle, and go out on adventures. And I used to say that I wanted to leave the throne." I let out a sigh, looking away from him again.

"Okay, little rebel it is then." He smiles, bringing my face to look back at his. "Don't hide anymore."

"I don't hide." I pinch his nose, "I just back away."

"Same thing." He gets up from the bed, holding out his hand for me to get up too.

When Kyle had come back to Evan's home, he brought back Kaylie, Chris and Jones. Me and Evans were on the couch, talking about my distant memories of Nova. 

It was not going to be easy getting to know my new found brother.

"Alright, little princess, what's the plan?" Kaylie asks, handing off a brown bag to Kyle.

"I use my words, to help the North and the South come to an agreement." It was not going to be an easy task. They are difficult, and not level headed.

"You can't step one foot on Nova, they'll kill you." Kyle stands in front of me, hands on his hips.

"I won't die. I'll go to the palace, find Eos and The capitals." I tell him, they wouldn't go down without a fight.

"You mean to tell me that little Eos, and the little capitals are going to protect you?" He chuckles at the thought.

"Eos is diffrent, and so are the capitals. Things changed since you were last on Nova, just look at me." I shrug, letting out a tiny laugh.

"Even Kalani?" He asks me, a bright smile on his face.

"Yes, why do you ask?" Does he know her well? Is that why he's asking?

"No reason." He smiles to himself again, and goes to stand near Kaylie.

"The man said there was something else." Evans says, grabbing the internet and looking for something.

"A botton, just one simple button that is going to help me." I say lowly, looking for the timer.

Ever since I got here, I was never focused on the timer. Did I ever pick the machine up? Did I leave it- Oh stars!

I shoot up from the couch and grab the only pair of shoes near the door and leave as quickly as I can. My chest is burning, from the running in my current state. The park was not a short walk from home.

When I was teleported here, all I had was my bag. Did I place the timer in my bag? I do not remember ever pick it up from the ground in the first place. 

I see the tall black gates of the park, and run even faster. 

My feet were moving faster than they have ever moved before.

And suddenly, I was falling on my face.

It stung, the ground was hard, it was like the concrete on my planet. I used all the force inside of me, and stood up again. Now I was walking to where I landed.

My feet tugged on the green turf, as I looked for the small handheld device. It had been days! Someone could have picked it up and sold it for scraps. 

I was stuck here.

A roaring pain is sent through my head, causing me to wince. And it was as if it was a signal, because I saw the timer, and a slow yellow light pinging from it. I bent down and grabbed it, and wiped off the dirt forming on it.

The date on it, was low.

10 days.

That was not long  enough for me to get help for my planet. This is an impossible mission, I can't save them.

I hold on tight to the device, and walk back home.

---

It took every fiber in me not to stop and take a break but I have to make it back home. My feet reached the door and I turned the knob, and walked myself in. Kaylie shoot up and grabbed me by my shoulders.

"Where the hell where you? Where did you go?" She asks me, seeming sincerely concerned.

I looked at her and gave her a small nod. I then walked to Kyle and handed him the timer. He took it and started to talk about things with Chris and Jones. Where was Evans?

"He's in the room, had to keep him there or he'd walk out looking for you." She sent a smile and then sat with the group on the couch.

I walked into the room, and his head shot up. He pushed himself off the bed and engulfed me in a hug. I hugged him back, he might have thought I was gone.

"I didn't leave you, I got the timer, I didn't leave you." I say into his neck, and he is gripping even harder.

"Thank god!" His voice growled, as he pulled away from me "What are we going to do?"

"About what?" Was there a new situation? Am i supposed to do something? Am I supposed to know?

"You, going back to Nova." His eyes falter to anywhere but me,

"I'm not sure, but I know one thing." I reach up for his chin, bringing his face to mine. "I won't leave without saying goodbye."
