Alpha Centaurus : Ascendent

Chapter 6 - The maze

Ella got in the room and saw Oana and Alin lying on the floor covered in blood and knocked down . She tried to wake them up but it didn't work,so she called for help,Roxanna . She made a mixture of seaweed and aloe in powder which she put in a spray bottle and sprayed over two of them. For a minute nothing happened,but after the moment passed Alin slowly opened her eyes . She was lost and confused especially when she saw Ella . They glanced at Oana who was still lying and wasn't moving nor breathing . The have put her on the bed and made her warm but she wasn't giving any sign of life. Roxanna didn't feel death but neither life so she made some protection powders and put aloe all over the bed,even did the meditation while Ella was talking to Alin about what happened .

„I guess,I have to thank you . I am not good with this so ...."

Ella looked at her : „No,it's fine .I did what anyone would do in my position ."

Alin smiled at her : „ Don't be so humble.I wasn't really your friend but you helped me anyway."

Ella smiled back : „But we can be from now on !"

Alin changed the look of her face : „I don't know after I tell you what happened here and some other things ."

She told Ella all about the ruby and about Luiza's mysterious trip and Paul and Lorena's vacation. Ella was shocked because she finally confirmed that the feeling she had about them was correct and shocked to hear about Monica's plan . It wasn't time to panic but to think and to make decisions what to do next. Ella wasn't mad at Alin as she thought she would be .

„Thank you for telling me !"

Roxanna went out and saw two of them standing in silent and sharply said to Ella :

„I will stay with her . I need to make her to turn into crab to heal properly."

Ella asked Alin to take her to see Lorena and Luiza and she accepted since she felt so ashamed. She took her to a basement that she never saw in a villa and it seems like they are the only ones who knows for that tunnels. The reason they chose to live there was because that house connects with the whole town . Alin opened the small doors on the floor in the kitchen behind the cabinets . When they opened the doors they jumped down . It was dark so they had to light the torch and then they saw three different doors that led to woods , center of the town and to a town library.

In meantime,Theo was out helping Roni with a search when Marcel came with Manuel . Theo wasn't happy when he saw him and didn't want him there,but he came to help Manuel with Victor who had to come and see Aron again. They had to spread and look in different directions,Manuel went with Roni and Theo was left with Marcel. Two of them took a left side of the woods and were very focused on the track and didn't talk at all . Day was warm and sunny,they could feel the warm breeze and hear all sounds of nature . At one point Marcel had to speak up :

„So,you and Ella ...? How does it work ?"

Theo stopped and looked at him,but then continued walking without even bothering to answer.

Marcel took the gesture but couldn't hold it too long so he asked again:

„Are you...like...a real couple or just ... ?"

Theo stopped him in the middle of the sentence and sharply replied :

„That's not your business !"

Marcel laughed : „So,you are not a couple . Good to know!"

Theo got pissed off so he pushed Marcel and he fall : „What is the matter with you ? Stay away from her and stay away from me,from us . We are doing just fine and there's nothing you can do to change that !"
