To The Future

Chaptor 9

Hazel pressed her lips together. She was worried for the future Earth, which seemed to be attacked by wolf-hybrids.

"What is going on?" No matter how she tried, she couldn't pry her eyes away from the screen. It was like watching a train wreck.

"We don't like to talk about it but really, that's just putting off the inevitable. Well, Earth is being punished for Cinder not turning herself in." The blue-haired girl, whom Hazel had been introduced to as Iko, frowned.

"Oh." Hazel's throat felt dry. She imagined the guilt Cinder must have been feeling. No wonder she was a little subdued.

Since they'd come on board, about two days ago, Iko had been the friendliest, telling them stories about Lunar, and about Queen Levana and Princess Selene or Cinder.

The blond haired girl, Cress was shy, she hid behind Thorne when they addressed her, but Hazel had a feeling that she was actually quite nice.

And the man, Wolf. He was really strange. He had been quiet but was now more hyper, due to Scarlet being back. Now that they were both on the ship, Hazel could see what Cinder and Cress meant about Rachel and Scarlett looking alike. They did, to the untrained eye. But more on that another time.

"Holy spades, aces and great stars Cinder!" Thorne's voice penetrated into Hazel's thoughts and she jumped. "Everyone on board is not immune to the plague as far as we know! We need that antidote!"

"Are you suggesting we split up? Half go to Earth while half to Luna? Well news flash, we can't go to Earth and unless you want to be killed." Cinder sounding upset.

"Captain, you know she's right. Where can we get it from? We're in space, near Luna," Cress sounded pleading.

"I'm agreeing with Thorne." Kai said, a scowl clear in his voice.

"No, I'm going to start a revolution on Luna, Kai. Not Earth. You know they'll kill me because I kidnapped you." Cinder rounded the corner. "And I won't be able to stand losing anymore of my friends."

"And they're at it again, arguing, it's better than the net dramas!" Iko squealed.

Cinder blinked when she saw Hazel, then brushed past her.

"It's still a bloodbath," Hazel said quietly.

The effect, though not intentional, was Cinder flinching. Hazel instantly felt guilty for reminding Cinder about something she had pretty much caused.

"Sorry," she moved forward and awkwardly patted Cinder's back.

"No, it's ok. I just need to think." She whispered.

"If we go to earth, Levana's there. Kai, I've seen too much of her already, my darling aunt wants me dead."

"Aren't you supposed to start a revolution?" Hazel asked. It may have been the first time she was meeting royalty, but she knew that they didn't act like Cinder, something that comforted her and lets her speak freely around the two monarchs. (A/N I FOUND THE RIGHT SPELLING!!! YAY!!!)

"Yes-"

"But there may not be a way of going on Luna undetected." Thorne interrupted.

"Who asked you?" Cinder scowled.

"Who asked the thirteen-year-old girl?" Thorne retaliated.

Immediately, Hazel glared at Thorne, something she did not do often. After all, her age was a sensitive topic. "Who has more experience than the blond, criminal 'mastermind' when it comes to crazy sorceresses."

"She is definitely angry." Iko muttered.

"Ok, ok, why do all of you have to argue so much? You should all be more agreeable! Because you're around me and I'm awesome!" He smiled at her winningly.

"Yeah yeah," Cinder waved her hand. "You can glamour some things right?"

"Not really, it works differently."

"Well, Kai, Thorne, I can promise you one thing." Cinder drew in a sharp breath.

"I am going to start a revolution. In three days if I can get everyone to agree."

Hazel blinked. "I can get the Demigods. They'll agree. I mean, Clarisse likes fighting stuff."

Scarlet and Wolf chose that moment to return from the medbay, Scarlett laughing and Wolf grinning from ear to ear. It was hard to link the surly man from before to this new one.

"Oh no you don't, no more injuries on my watch," Scarlett was saying.

"But she is making progress."

"Don't you lie to me! You didn't train her while I was on Luna, did you, you doof." Scarlett swatted his arm. Then she seem to notice the tension. "Sorry, are we interrupting a meeting?"

Cinder exhaled. "No, we are discussing the revolution. Because I have a plan. And, Hazel," Cinder locked eyes with Hazel, who willed herself to detect if she was using her glamour, something she'd started to do since Cinder had used it on the Stolls, "You're important in this plan. I think I can help you with the Mist."
