Six To: Save? Or Slay? Book 2 (Finished)

Oresoren To The Rescue!

The next morning, Walter was gathering everyone up to check on Roxanne. So he first grabbed Xaden and Arian, then went to Alex's house, since it was the next closest place. But when the three of them walked inside, Roxanne was already in there, talking to Alex and Amelia. When they heard the door open, Roxanne looked over and slightly gasped when she saw Walter.

"Roxanne!" Walter exclaimed. He took a few steps toward her. "Are you all right?"

Roxanne nodded. "Though, I would like to discuss something important with you all. Can you go and get Lia and Erik? Then we'll talk."

Walter exchanged an confused glance at Alex. Alex shrugged, not knowing anything about what she wanted to discuss either. So Walter went to go grab the two outgoing elements. When he came back, everyone got comfortable on the couch or floor. But before Roxanne could speak, Xaden spoke instead.

"You are feeling any better?" He asked.

Roxanne lifted an eyebrow as she cocked her head to the side a bit. "What are you talking about?" She wondered.

"Er...Hate to break it to ya, but we heard about Boris." Erik informed her.

Roxanne fell silent for a few moments. During that time, Arian said, "The Oresoren told us."

Roxanne sighed and face-palmed herself. "I swear. They can't keep their mouths shut." She tapped her foot impatiently. "But whatever. No matter. There's no need to worry." She looked over at Erik when she said this. "I'm not Erik. I won't loose sight of myself."

Erik stood up and stomped his foot with anger. "That's really convincing! Coming from someone who was all locked up in her room, scared."

Roxanne glared. "I was not scared!" She protested. "I was just really surprised to see him there."

Erik laughed as he nodded sarcastically. "Uh-huh. Sure. Whatever you say Roxanne."

Roxanne scoffed and rolled her eyes at him. "I'm going to ignore that doofus over there and just start this meeting." Erik stopped laughing and leaned forward to hear what she had to say. Roxanne took a deep breath, then said, "I want us to go and eliminate Boris."

Everyone gasped with surprised. Lia stood up and she scratched the back of her head. "I know you do, but--"

Roxanne turned toward her. "When facing a ninja, the one who strikes first always wins. If he has time to prepare, it'll put us that more of an disadvantage."

Lia nodded. "Yeah I know but--"

"We can't act defensivley when facing a ninja."

Lia held up her hand. "I just want to ask where we are going!" She exclaimed.

Roxanne crossed her arms. "Remember where Asher's Camp was? Well that's where he is right now. They even rebuilt a small house there."

Erik took an shocked step back. "Whoa really? Boy do they move fast!"

"But what do we do about Lia?" Arian wondered. Lia gave her an confused look.

Alex snapped his fingers. "Oh that's right! They want Lia, don't they?"

Lia hung her head. "Oh yeah..."

Roxanne shook her head. "What do you all think?" When they stared at her with an blank expression on their faces, she sighed and said, "We should take her with us. It's probably safer that way since she'll be with us. If we leave her behind, the ninja's could sneak here and take her."

Xaden smiled. "Good! Then it's settled...She's staying with us."

"Whoa whoa wait a minute!" Erik said. "How did you figure where they were if you were all locked up inside your room."
