Estelle looked at Aquare's limp body. This woman had brought her so much pain and so little remorse… Estelle remembered what Winter had said about the night that she had been taken. Estelle spit on Aquare's body and walked away, not looking at Winter or Elias.

Winter smirked. "Well, that brought the circle all the way around. I'm glad you remembered that. Now, Elias, please help me, my balance has gotten worse. The ground is starting to sway, and I don't think that is normal…" Elias gave Winter a weird look. "Yeah, I can help you. But the ground swaying? I can't fix that… Wait. It is swaying…." Elias looked up with horror in his eyes. "We need to get out of here soon. There is one creature that can make the ground sway. And they live in asteroids. We need to get Essar and his family, Shiloh, and Kula out of here. There are plenty of transports for the others, We just have to let them know that they are free…"

Estelle had frozen midstep when the ground started to shift. Not good not good not good not good… She looked at Winter. "You need to go back on the ship with Elias. I can find everyone."

Winter looked up at Estelle. "No, I'm gonna follow you. I need to let Kula know I'm fine. Plus, 5 can fly the ship where we need her to. So, I'm going." Elias frowned. "Are you sure Winter? You are not in the best condition…" Winter turned angrily. "We're going. That's final." Elias sighed angrily. "Fine. Lead on."

"Winter, I'll be fine…" Estelle insisted.

Winter hung her head. "Fine. I'll go back to the ship. But if you need anything, and I mean anything, I'm coming. Wait, does Essar know that I was injured?" Elias sighed a sigh of relief. "Here Winter, I'll carry you since the asteroid surface is swaying…" Winter reluctantly agreed. After Elias picked Winter up, he turned his head back toward Estelle, and mouthed a silent "Thank you…"

Estelle nodded with a small smile and took off towards the fortress, stumbling over the uneven surface. She entered and ran through the corridors. "Shiloh?! Essar!?"

Winter looked up at Elias with a small, angry look. "Why do I listen to you… You are no fun…" Elias smirked. "You need sleep. So, I'm taking you back to the ship so you can sleep. Your energy level is below that where you can function normally." Winter mumbled something incoherently, and Elias smiled and carried her to the ship. He walked in and set Winter down on a comfortable looking chair. She was already asleep. He smiled, and ran his hand through her hair. "Sleep well my Starlight. You'll need it. This war isn't gonna wait for us…" He bent down, and kissed Winter on the forehead. He stood back up, and turned and headed towards the cockpit. Before he walked in, he looked back at the sleeping figure of Winter. He thought, "She looks so small and frail from this distance…" He smiled at his own little mistake. "Looks can be deceiving… She may be small, but weak and frail, are not on that list… I'd hate to face her when she is back up to speed…"

"Essar?! Shilo-" A spike of ground threw her off balance and she slammed hard into a wall. Her shoulder cracked, and she screamed painfully.

Elias was in the ship, and he felt the ground shake violently. "5, get us into a clearing! Or we are gonna be crushed under a few tons of rock!!!" He darted out of the cockpit, and turned the corner. He sighed a sigh of relief. Winter was still asleep, and she hadn't shifted in her place of rest. He turned back into the cockpit.

Shiloh whirled around as the ground tore up beneath them. "Essar, hurry! Which one is she in?"

Elias was busy starting the ship up. He had the weapons systems on, just in case. He was in the pilot's chair, and he was struggling to recall things to memory. A look of confusion crossed his face. "Dang. I wish I remembered which one was the primary ignition…" He sighed and muttered, "Well, here goes nothing…" He pushed a button on the control panel, in which he remembered 5 telling him that it was the startup panel, but he hoped for the best. The ship's engine rolled over, and roared to life. Elias jumped up, "YES!" He yelled. Suddenly, he realized that Winter may have heard him, he turned the corner, and she was still peacefully asleep… He sighed a sigh of relief, and turned the corner back in the cockpit again.

Essar hurried down a corridor. "Cell 1138!" He shouted.

"You go - I'll get her! I promise!" Shiloh yelled, scanning the numbers on the cells as she ran by.

Estelle clutched at her shoulder as she stumbled forward. Can't stop. Can't let them down…
