As promised the Council and the Royal family kept their word in the exchange for human prisoners.

And sadly, we humans had to keep our word and give back Demos.

Demos once again had power.

Now and forever Alpha Prime Demos.

I could see sadness and rage in his eyes as the guards led him away.

I didn't care though. I was free and safe.


For now.

As only a temporary truce was enacted between the Royal family and the rebel group.


"This isn't over." Demos growled. "I will find you again."

Although a truce has been called I know and everyone knows in their hearts that this isn't over this is just the beginning of a new era and the war with the invaders has just begun.



"Katherine, come on!" Bethany yelled sticking her head in my tent.

"I'm coming!" I yelled back, finishing up my writing. Once done I closed my notebook and made my way outside.

The smell of pine trees and smoke from the fire hit my nose.

The sound of fire crackling and a spoon hitting a pot reached my ears.

I looked to see the large group split into smaller groups of five each group sitting around the fire dining on their food.

"Come on sis. Supper is ready." Rebecca called over to me.

I smiled and made my way over to one of the fires and was handed a bowl of stew and some bread.

"Auntie Kat, look at what one of the soldiers made me," Arrow said, leaning over his mother showing me a carved wooden man.

I took it in my hand and examined it. "That's cute and very sweet of him," I said, handing it back.

"That Ryan guy is very creative," Bethany added taking a bit of her stew. I nodded in agreement while taking another bit of my stew.

"Where's Dallas?" I asked.

"Oh, he's by the river to get more water for the group with John," Bethany answered. "They'll be back so-"

"We're back." I turned to see Dallas and John pulling two wagons full of water jugs through the trees.

"Good, supper's ready," I said, moving to fix them a bowl.

"Good, I'm starving," John said, taking a seat across the fire from me. While Dallas sat beside me. He gave me a friendly smile and thanked me once I handed him his bowl.

John, Dallas, Bethany, Rebecca, and my nephew Arrow. My friends and my new family. All of us sitting in peace for once in a long time, having a simple meal.

I want the peace and joy to last forever, but I know that there will be literal blood, sweat and tears shed in the future. Sacrifices will be made and risks will be taken, especially with what I choose to do now.

As soon as we reach our new destination I'm going on my own quest.


Alone.


I'm going to find my family.


I have not lost hope and faith in the possibility of them being alive.


One day we will be reunited with my family.


And one day I will get my revenge.



I'm coming for you, Demos and that's a promise.

Hey, guys I just want to say thank you for the votes, reads, comments, and followers.  I hope you enjoyed the story. I'm not sure if I'm doing a book 2 or not if I do I will make an announcement of my decision in the next several weeks (Maybe at the beginning of March). But, for those who do not follow me, follow me so you can know what I decided. Also, follow me as I write and publish new stories.

A few things going on...

 1.) I will be editing "New World Order"

 2.) I'm in the works of finishing "Man of Steel: Loving Mia Jones". 

  3.) I'm also writing a new story "Wrath of the Gods" which is in the works. I'm making a few changes to it, especially with the prologue.  I might unpublish it and republish it when I'm satisfied with what I have. (hopefully by this weekend. (1/16/21))


Again thank you and I love you all.

Bye.
