Fire Light (ON HOLD)

Shamen

I opened the book and flipped through the pages. Sure enough, it had a bunch of dates and places. I smiled and closed my eyes.

"This is it," i said, opening my eyes. "C'mon."

We walked back to the command center i sat in the captain's chair and put in the co-ordinates.

"We're a little behind so I'm going to put it into light-speed. Aauron, could you tell the crew to take their seats?" He nodded and took the co-pilot's seat, pressing the P/A button.

I gave everyone a few minutes to find a seat before raising the lever to light speed. I lowered it back to what would be about 200km/h on Earth and set to cruise control.

"I have to use the washroom," i announced as I stood up. Aauron nodded without looking up.

I shrugged and headed for the door, he was probably fine. As I got to the toilets, I reflected on the way things were being run on this ship; Everyone had a job. Almost everyone had a kid, everyone that had a kid trained them to be what their parents were. Some of these kids were born on this ship. Something about it didn't make sense to me. Did our parents never leave the ship? Did they spent most of their lives on this or a different ship? It almost seemed like the parents expected their kids to live on the ship their whole lives. Its all they've known. What kind of --

I was shaken from my thoughts as the ship was jostled to one side, then the other. I ran back to the head as fast as I could, seeing many frightened kids crowding the hallways.

"Jovan, get everyone to the nursery!" I instructed as I tried to get through the crowd.

"Whats going on?" He yelled back at me.

"I don't know yet," I replied without looking back.

i reached the command center to find a shocked Aauron.

He opened his mouth the speak, but nothing came out. He gestured to the ship beside ours and I practically ran to the window to get a better look.

I felt my jaw drop open as I whispered,

"Shamen..."
