Only The Heavens Can Help Us Now

[Ellie]

"MOMMA!", Sky screamed. She jumped out of Asters arms and into her mothers. Kana huggedher tight.

"Oh sweety.", she said softly. Shepicked her up and walked over to Serena. "Come here darling.", she said sweetly. She wrapped the two girls in a hug. "I know Im not your mother but please let us take care of you. We wont let them get you."

Light looked at Aster and Lucian. "I thinks itsbest we went back to the castle now. You guys need cleaned up to." Light called for the boat shaped buggie. They got in and headed back to the castle.

When they all arrived at the castle, Aster was still in thought. Who were they? Why did they attack? And why was Serena so afraid of these men? So odd; they've face some terrorists before, but they've always been after the castle in general. One thing was for certain though. A full report needed to be given to the king and queen. Aster walked beside the royal family, making sure that they would be safe.

[Ellie]

"I want a full report on what just happened.", Light said. "Kana take Sky and Serena to Skys room.", he said to her. Kana went up the long flight of stairs with the twogirls immideatly.
" Seal the room with magic. Ill have the whole castle on full alert tonight. I want magic seals placed everywhere, and guards around this whole place. I want EVERY single passage way secured. This includeds the kitchen entrance into the sewers, and the four secret passages to the court yards. Make sure no one enters or leaves the castle tonight." Light went into the direction of the Kings meeting room. What was going on.

[cosmicbreaker]

((You talking to Lucien and Aster?))

[Atticus]

Lucian felt slightly weak at the legs his wounds were still bleeding he didn't want to say anything incase he misses what the king has to say *thats alot of protection* he thought knowing that this castle will be safe as the King said that he wanted a full report Lucian felt sick *oh god no im not good at these*

[Ellie]

((both I guess. It really doesnt matter))

A lady entered the main hall where Aster and Lucian were. She smiled akwardly. "The queen has sent me in t heal you both.", she said quietly. She was wearing a white nurses uniform, and had a nurses hat on. hewas rather plump. "Please follow me.", she said waddling the way she came.

[Miss Gates]

Serena looked at Kana as they headed for Sky's room. She was so scared, she was shaking. However, she didn't know if these men were the same men that attacked her home and left her people for dead. Tears streamed down Serena's cheeks.

"Mommy...daddy..."she said.

Then she thought about Lucian's question. Where did your mommy and daddy go? The question repeated over and over again in her head as she walked with Sky and Kana. Serena became even more frightened. Then, Serena closed her eyes as she walked and had a flashback.

The house was burning in flames just like the rest of her village. Her father came running out and carried her to a shuttle. Serena's mother wasn't there, she was already not breathing on the ground next to Serena. Her father hid on the shuttle in a carry on. Then, when her father closed the lid, there was a gun shot.

Serena opened her eyes and collasped on the ground. Her mother and father were dead. Her home no longer existed. It was there, but burnt to the ground and invaded with humans and other creatures. Serena was shaking terribly and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"My m-m-m-mommy and d-d-d-daddy,"she stuttered. "Are dead."

[cosmicbreaker]

Aster's gaze drifted away as the woman lead the two of them. While the report was first priority, he really couldn't argue with getting healed first. "Come, Lucian. And don't worry; I will fill out the report." he said, slightly smiling.

[Atticus]

Lucian followed "oh thank god i hate reports" he said smiling slightly as he took of his helmet and wiped abit of the blood of his forehead "ive not fought like that in a long time i kinda thought i wouldn't make it" he said looking down abit "but Sky, Serena and you Aster gave me courage" he said smiling very happyly

[cosmicbreaker]

Aster laughed. "Thank you. To be honest, the very same people, replacing me with you, gave me strength as well." he replied, as they continued to follow the nurse.

[Ellie]

Queen Kana heled Serena in both arms, and Sky held onto her back. She didnt say anything in responce to Serenas tatement abouther parents she just held on tighter. She rushed up the stairs and found Skys room at last. Sky was done sobbing and half asleep now even though itwas only around 5pm. She layed Sky in bed and set Serena next to her. "Dont worry you two. Im not going any where just stay here and go to sleep.", she said in a hushed calm voice. She closed the curtians to the windows, and sat down in a rocking chair.


***KING LIGHT***

Light looked out at the city from hs viewing point in the castle. You could still see smoke from the attack. "What the heck is going on!?", he said angerily.

***THE NURSE***

The nurse led them to a small room thatbarely fit the three of them. She patched them up and cast a few spells to quickly heal the wounds. She shook her head. "BE MORE CAREFUL!", she said coldly. "You can go now...", she muttered filling out a few papers.

[Atticus]

Lucian Nodded at Aster as they went in the room and got healed as quick as they enter'd "Alrite then i'll try not getting much" *like she can say that she dosen't fight* he thought to himself "so Aster where do we go now?" he asked not knowing the castle well

[Miss Gates]

Serena, still in shock and tears streaming down her face closed her eyes. She dreamt of the attack on her home planet and was whispering,

"No, no,"she said.

Suddenly, her parents were there and then they were gone. Serena screamed in her sleep.

"MOMMY! DADDY!"she sobbed. "NOOOOO WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?!"

[Ellie]

Kana jumped at the sudden scream. Sky woke too. "Momma...?", Sky whispered.

"Im here.", Kana said softly. She got up and puta hand on Serenas head. She pushed her hair aside. "Serena?", she said softly.

[Miss Gates]

"They left me,"Serena whimpered. "They left me all alone."

The dream continued. The house went up in flames and the village was burning. Shapeshifters were screaming and running for help. Serena sat on the ground next to her dead mother. Her father came and picked her up, carrying her in his arms. Mr. Kolt carried Serena out of the lands until he found a shuttle.
Mr. Kolt snuck onto the shuttle into the carry-on place. He found a large trunk and opened it. He gently set Serena inside and smiled once last time at his beloved daughter.

"Daddy?"Serena whispered.

"Shhhh sweetheart,"Mr. Kolt said quietly. "You're going to be safe. Don't use your powers. You are NOT a shapeshifter, okay?"

"But-"Serena began, but Mr. Kolt interrupted.

"Promise me Serena you'll be pretend to be human."Mr. Kolt said with tears streaming down his cheeks.

"I promise daddy."Serena said.

"Thats my girl,"Mr. Kolt said with a smile and kissed his dauther on the cheek. "Good bye sweetheart. You have to be quiet. Quiet as a mouse."

Serena nodded and her father closed the lid. Then a few moments later, there was a faint gunshot. Serena jumped and opened her eyes.

"DADDY! NO!!!!"Serena screamed.
