New Beginnings

Kayleb's POV

The Spaceship in the sky started to descend causing my father to pick up the pace. He grabbed me by my arm and placed me on his back. I was finally able to see ahead of me and saw lights from a ship ahead.

Jon: They came a lot earlier than expected.

Kay: Who is they?

Jon: ...

My father kept quiet after I asked him the question. He mentioned a they as if he knew they were coming. Maybe he was preparing for a war and they came just a little too early. Deep into my thoughts, I hadn't noticed that we had made it to the ship.

Jon: Get in Kayleb. Lillien and Jaku'o are already inside.

Kay: What about Luna and the twins. Shouldn't they be here with us too?

Jon: They won't be able to make it. We were only able to retrieve you three. Now no more questions, we're running out of time.

My father pushed me into the ship and followed after me. He went to see if the destination was set properly and then activated the ship's cloak. On his way out, he walked up and gave us hugs before exiting the ship. We began to take off, and my father waved his goodbyes before running back into the mansion.

We were able to fly passed the black spaceship unnoticed and were on our way to space. I turned around to see my cousins and they were a lot calmer than I had expected. No one had said a word, but I was pretty sure it was because it was so early in the morning. I looked at Lilli and her hair was frizzy, she also managed to look very exhausted and angry at the same time. Jake on the other hand, was glistening from his training. He was staring into nothing, so it was easy to see that he also had no idea what was going on.

10mins. later

Kay: Hey Lil, how much longer until we get to where we're going?

Lilli: The navigator say a little over five hours.

Kay: Do you know how long we're going to be there for?

Lilli: I don't know Kayleb, I'm as clueless as you are right now.

Kay: Well it looks like none of us pack any clothes. What will we wear? How will we clean ourselves? Where will we use the-

Lilli: Ugh... Why are you asking so many questions? I just said I don't know.

Jake: Because he's a spoiled brat. He doesn't know how to do anything for himself.

Kay: That is not true!

Jake: Yes it is.

Lilli: Enough! Both of you, please. I'm already frustrated as it is, I don't need your constant bickering right now.

Kay: He started it.

Jake: Shut up, Kayleb.

Lilli: Jake! Everyone is already a little shaken up by what just happened. Starting petty fights like that is not going to help in the slightest.

Jake: I was just playing around. It's a little to serious in here.

Lilli: Now is not the time for that. We're going to a place we've never been before, and we have no idea how it's like there. We won't be able to stay focused if we're messing around. So from here on out we have to look after each other, starting now. Is that understood?

Kay: Understood.

Jake: Yea, you're right. I'm sorry.

Lilli: Good. Now get some rest, we have a long day ahead of us.

Jake was just trying to clear everyone's head by picking a fight. It didn't really work though because of how upset Lilli was, but she was right. We had never been to this place before and had no idea why our parents sent us here in the first place. I laid my head on Lilli's lap and Jake rested his on her shoulder. She wrapped her hands around us, took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She was trying to stay strong for us, but I knew deep down she was scared.

5hrs and 33mins. later

Lilli: Oh shit! No no no. This is not good!

Kay: What happened?!

Lilli: I was asleep for too long and we entered the planet without permission, we're also out of cloak charge. I mean what kind of planet doesn't have an entrance tower anyway?!

Jake: Well it's too late to go back now. Try to find somewhere safe so we can ditch the ship and hide.

Lilli: Already on it.

Kay: Hopefully this works out, I'm not cut out for jail! 

Jake: Well if it doesn't go as planned, I just have one last thing to say. I'm the one who ate your plumperberry cake last night Lil!

Lilli: What!

Jake: I'm sorry! I thought it was for anybody who wanted it, that's when Mesa came into the kitchen and told me it was yours! Can you forgive me?

Lilli: You better hope we die Jaku'o!
