-Lyla's POV-
"Well? Where is he?" I ask the crowd. "What is going on here?" A man says as he walks towards us. "We're looking for Jack. Are you Jack?" I say to him. "Uh... Some people call me Jack." He answers. "Let me rephrase my question." I say annoyed. "Are you the Jack who is friends with someone named 'Ryan'?" "Ryan? Yes, he's my best friend." He answers. "Good, then you can help us." I say to him while I walk closer to him. "I can?" He asks. "Yes, we're searching Ryan." I answer which makes him look weird at me. "He's on Solniana." "If he would be there, then we wouldn't be here." Shane says annoyed to him. I turn around and walk back to my siblings. "Let's go, we need to find him."
"Wait!" Jack says to us which makes us look at him. "Why do you need to find Ryan?" He asks us. "Why would we tell you?" Kiana answers. "Because he's my best friend, I want to know what happened." "It seems like he doesn't see you as his best friend." Shane says to him while crossing his arms. "Yeah, if he did see you as his best friend, he would have told you that he would return to Earth." Shayna continues. "He's here? On Earth?" Jack asks. "Of course he's here! Why do you think we're on this stupid planet!" I yell to him which makes him take a few steps back.
I take a deep breath and look at him. "Can you at least tell us where he used to live?" "Maybe, if you tell me what you're going to do when you find him." "We can't tell you." Kiana answers annoyed. "I'm sorry, but I'm not going to tell strangers, who just killed four citizens, where my best friend used to live." He says to us. "You're starting to get on my nerves." I say to him annoyed. "Just now?" Shane says to me, but I ignore him. "Fine, have it your way. We will find him, with or without your help." I say to Jack and look at my siblings. "Let's go." I say to them.
"Wait!" Jack says again. "What is it now?!" Shane asks him. "You know my name; can you tell me yours?" He asks. "No." I answer. "Why not?" "When you say what your name is to a stranger, they know enough to get all the information they need from you. So no, we won't tell you our names." Shayna answers to him. "That's unfair! You know mine, I have the right to know yours!" "Yes, you have. Not all these people who stare at us." I say to him
He suddenly smiles which makes us really confused. "That's what Ella told me, I should have known that you would tell me the same." He says which makes us all look at him. "Ella?" Kiana asks after a while. "Yes, that's how I call her. Your queen, Mirella." "Our queen..." Kiana says while we all look down. "What's wrong? Did something happen to her?" Jack asks worried. "It's just weird to hear someone else then family call her that." Shayna says still looking down. "Family? Are you her family?" He asks us surprised. "That doesn't matter, we need to go." I say to him. We start walking, but stop when he asks: "Are you her children?"
"You are, aren't you? That would explain a lot. I know that not everyone would be able to travel to Earth, only royals. The last time I saw Ella's brother, Jason, he told his mate that only Ella, her mate and their children are considered royals. You are her children! That's why you are looking for Ryan! He's your father! It's just like when Ella was here, she was searching her father too. But why isn't Ryan on Solniana anymore?" Jack says to us and walks closer to us.
"He isn't there because-" Shane starts, but stops when I put my hand in the air. "All you need to know is that we are searching Ryan." I say to him. "And that you are his children?" He asks us. I look at my siblings for a moment and look back at Jack afterwards. "Yes, we are." I answer which makes him smile. "That's amazing! Why didn't you tell me immediately? I'll take you to his old house, but he won't be there, it's been sold." Jack says to us.
"Lead the way." I say to him which makes him look confused at us. "Aren't you going to teleport?" "No, teleporting uses power and we need to save it for fights." Kiana answers. "Fights? Why would you fight?" Jack asks, still confused. "You need to be prepared for a fight, every day and every moment." Shane answers. "Why?" Jack asks. "Let's just go, we're wasting time." I say to him, but he still doesn't start walking.
"If you're not going to teleport, then why are you in your powerful form?" He asks us which makes my siblings look at me. "To be prepared." I answer. "But doesn't it uses power to stay in your powerful form?" "Are you going to show us the house or keep asking us stupid questions?" I ask him annoyed. He looks at me for a moment and begins walking afterwards. "Finally." I hear Shane mumble as we follow him.
