Fear lined her face as Aeron was handed the book. The book that was banned. She felt a strange sense of... loyalty to this woman, and the younger girl didn't know how to deal with it. She owed Locke something, but her loyalties lie with the Dark Force. Her convoluted thoughts span in her mind, but she still took the book with both of her hands. Then she gave a small, hopeless smile.

"We don't stand a chance against them." She said in a hollow, washed out voice. "We'll die in a hopeless struggle."

She paused. Michael... the name seemed familiar. Aeron couldn't place it, but she knew if it was important, she would have remembered it. Aeron doesn't forget what is important. Totally and absolutely unheard of.

"But I guess I don't have a choice." She sighed, and looked longingly at the van. "I'm coming. But only because I owe you something."

With that, she grudgingly followed her former enemy, not knowing where her life would lead her, or if she would even survive to return to her adopted home.
