Emily

Suddenly, her head was filled with voices. She could hear Melpomene and Chase talking urgently.

Melpomene, what are we going to do? As long as he has Emily, we are powerless.

We'll figure something out.


The weird thing was, Emily could sense everything about their health. If I can sense what is wrong and right with them, then maybe they can sense me.

Suddenly, her head was filled with three voices.

Melpomene: "Oh my god."
Chase: "Damn it!"
and after a few seconds...

John: "I can hear you."
I came into this world wrinkled and ugly. And no matter how much I accumulate here, it's a short journey. I will go out of this world wrinkled and ugly. So I enjoy life.

"I hate this." I said. It really wouldn't be that hard to just knock John out with a roundhouse kick. But I needed to know how they kept on finding us. Did they bug someone? Our attach a tracker to us?

Chase

Nice, so John can hear us too. Wonderful. He can hear us everyone, can't you? Melpomene thought.

Pretty much.

"You know, we need to do something!" Chase yelled. Everyone looked at him like an idiot.

"What the flip are you doing?" Melpomene asked.

"Well, since he can hear us, what's the point of whispering? Let's just yell!" Chase started to smile at his stupidness. Others started to smile.

Emily was looking worse by the minute, and it seemed like Chase was the only one who noticed.

"Shut up," John threatened, and pointed the gun at Chase.

"I don't care what you do to me," Chase said, but at the same time, he thought in his head to Melpomene.
Emily is getting weaker. It's the sun. Something is messed up and if we don't get her out of the sun, she'll....

"Nice to know," John said, unaware of the urgent thought that passed between Chase and Melpomene.

"John... We need a break. I don't know if you've been robotized or possessed or something but we need a break."

He raised an eyebrow. "Fine."

We walked into a tundra forest and Emily sat down to relax. I checked my bag for something I knew could help us. I found it. A tranquilizing dart. It was sharp at the end and I threw it at John. It hit his neck like I had been planning and he crumpled down as the medicine entered his bloodstream.

"Okay. Search him. We need to know how they can track us. They've found us every time. Liz, the traitor was the only one really in physical contact with him. She must have bugged him."

Chase found something. It was a glass shard embedded in his neck, close to where the dart had struck home.

Chase

"Cha-ching!" He exclaimed, finding the glass. "I found something."

"Let me see. You go check on Emily and make sure she is okay."

I looked at the glass. It had fancy swirls of blue and green prints. Like a computer chip...

I ran over to John and checked his pulse. He was dead. "Time for an autopsy. Those faint of heart should leave now."

I took out a shiv and stabbed it in. It hit hard metal. It was a robot.

*Gosh! Don't type that fast!!!*


Emily

She sat up, dazed.

"So John truly is dead?" She asked.

Chase sat next to her. "We're not sure." He stared at the robot, looking a tad bit green. Emily pulled up her hood, trying to protect herself from the blinding sun. Abi was helping Jake with his wound. Everybody was shivering.

***adding more to my last post***

Emily

Emily was seriously freaked out now. What were they up against? Robots? Time traveling? This was just too much. She pulled her hood up, trying to block out the accursed sun.

Everybody seemed at a loss for words. Where were they going to go now?

Melpomene stood. "We have to move. The robot may have told its masters where we are, and trust me, if you thought the robot was bad, you do NOT want to meet the master." Everybody nodded and stood up.

**Now don't get mixed up, but I'm posting now**

Chase

"So where do we go now?" one of the others asked.
"How about my aunt's house?" Abi spoke up. Everyone just looked at her. "Well, at least it's someplace."
"Alright," Melpomene said. "Abi's aunt's hous it is."

John

" you bastards" John said as he watched his robot self shoot Jonathan. "Don't be so angry John, It only the people who didn't trust you not one bit I trust you " the Master spoke only lies . John spat at his feet "go to hell you freak" The Master seamed more insulted by this than most would of been. "you owe me your life John, you owe me your trust" again John spat on the floor again " I didn't want to have to do this to you John but I have no choice, take him". A tall man came and grabbed the wheel chair John was strapped to " If any more of the group dies I'll kill you I swear". The Master laughed a low laugh "you may try".


John cried out all night until he awoke from a troubled dream. John woke up wit people around him The master looked down on him goo ga goo ga what the hell John thought. As he looked around he realized that he was in a cot. Of course their were two different age globe a young one and old one as he tried to hold onto these thoughts they disappeared and all he could do was cry. " Liz take him back to 1908 when he's 19 bring him home"
" he'll have a little brother to play with" Liz said as she patted her atumic before she picked up little John and dissatpiered.

"We'll have to be careful, we can't put Abi's Aunt in danger. It's against out code and the main code of ethics. We need to be very wary."

"We know," Chase spoke up. "We really don't want to put anyone in danger.:

Abigayle

"I don't know how we're gonna get to London, but we really should hurry." Abi said as she looked back down at Jake. He was losing blood fast. Ellie was trying to find the bullet, but so far all she could do was try to soak up the blood.
"This will probably be harder than normal, since we have to injured, but I'm going to try to transport us." Melpomene said.

John six years old 1913:

John ran around in the courtyard with his little brother Alex. While his mother sat talking to grandma. It was strange his mother always got older, but his grandma looked like she hadn't aged a day. The same was true too the Master he appeared every year, his visits were a rare treat for John and his brother, the Master always brought fabulous treats foods from abroad , sadly the master always gave them small metal cubes which John and Alex had to put in their mouth and keep them their until a beeping sound went off, Johns mother said that these were to give us all the education that we needed and that's why we didn't have to go to school.

John 18 years old 1925

Alex sat with John in the trenches they could of fast forwarded the sentry duty shifts using their abilities but the night air was cool Fritz's were silent today seemed like a night to remember. The night before John and Alex would return to present day "bro, I know Mum has always told us about the future and the Wicked Nine, and of course their leaders Melepone and Chase" John didn't answer he had yet too tell his brother, Son the He remembered every thing of his previous life, he had a simple plan really he would turn his brother into a 12 year old and himself into a 14 year old self he wanted to the old John but wasn't quite ready to give up his age. Then he would try to be with the person he truly loved most he'd had the last 5 years too think about it since his memory returned, and it was of course Kate John hoped she would feel the same way.*
