"NO" Dawson shouted out. "We need more, please. I need more." He said as his voice wobbled and tears started to fall from his face as he backed into Ali's arms once more, the crying becoming louder and more like wailing as he closed his eyes to sleep and he stayed there for hours. "Dawson, wake up" Ali said as she gently shook him, Dawson woke up with a start. Ali gently spoke to him so as not to scare him as he had been sleeping for quite a few hours and it was now 5pm. "I've been on my phone and I know a lot about where she is and what she might be doing. There are Goddesses and they will keep her safe Dawson. She is safe, and protected." Dawson nodded as he got up and went to the notepad he had placed on the table. Maya why can't you speak to us more, can you come back?  he wrote. 

He silently, (their voices to hoarse to talk) went into the living room and sat on the sofa, Ali followed him through. "You pick" he said as he handed the remote to Ali. An hour went by and Dawson went to the kitchen without saying a word and came back a couple of minutes later with 2 plates of chicken, peas and chips. He handed one plate to Ali and still silent, sat down in the same spot as before. They watched movies until the moon came up. 

They both placed their plates on the kitchen counter and went their separate ways to their own rooms. "Goodnight Ali, have a good sleep." Dawson told Ali his rough voice breaking the silence. As they closed their doors tears fell from both of their eyes, unbeknown to each other that their hearts were breaking. After a while they both crawled into their own beds and fell into a deep slumber. 

Maya watching over them both, smiling as she walked through the door and picked up the pen.

As the sun peeked through the clouds, getting brighter by the minute. Ali opened her eyes as she rolled out of bed, staring at the 06:30 on her alarm clock. Why am I awake at this time, I better go and see if Dawson is awake yet to go and see the notepad. As she slowly opened Dawson's door she noticed the empty bed. "Dawson" she called out. "Kitchen." he replied. 

Her heart sped up as she neared the door. As she walked in he pointed to the notepad and remained silent. She went over and saw once again Mayas handwriting. 

you. I can't tell you why I can't speak. Please trust me. All you need to do is one thing. 

As she turned the page and found Dawsons writing 
All of what she has told us ....

 Yes it's Maya. I get 20 words a day. I am in Nova. I get a month to write to you. I can't tell you why I can't speak. Please trust me. All you need to do is one thing
