Part of The Team, Offically

[Nox]

Nox had a lot to think about, Aria was in the midst of a rebellion, one that could make his life not quite so .... dangerous, no that wasn't the right word. He wouldn't be hunted. Aurora wouldn't be hunted. That in and of itself made him want to join her cause. She needed comrades.

But he didn't have much more time to think on it as the train lurched to their final destination. The conversation had been a good distraction, but now, now all his worries and apprehension about seeing his sister flooded back into him.

They got off and trekked the short distances to the motel Aurora was staying at. They stood outside for what felt like forever. The silence could be cut with a knife.

Aria's voice made Nox jump. "No one is inside."


Nox looked at her perplexed this was the coordinates, his dot and her dot where on top of each other. He knocked. No one answered. He turned the knob and found it unlocked. No! The worst immediately jumped into his mind.

Aria went first, she looked around, Nox found very little in the way of saying his sister was here. Aria smiled. "She left of her own free will. She'll be okay. We'll find her."


Nox was confused. "How? She doesn't want to be found."
Nox collapsed on to the bed, he wanted to cry, his sister hated him, and it broke his heart.

Aria sat down next to him and put her hand on his leg. "You have her number, we'll find her. Let's give her time. Maybe she doesn't have any memory either."


Really? What are those odds? But then again, what are the odds, you'll fall out of airplane. Or much less crash in one. Maybe Aria was right, next time he'll plan better.

He stood up and grinned at Aria. "So take me to your leader."
He laughed, he'd always wanted to say that.
