Her eyes fluttered open softly she was laying on something, or someone warm, who still appeared to be out of it. She glanced up to see the familiar face of her step brother. Gavin appeared to be in a deep sleep which wasn’t unusual for him. She sat up slowly yawning a bit before running her fingers through her nearly perfect chestnut brown hair. She sighed softly looking around seeing a few others awake, but she could see the girl all in white in the ocean and the man standing near the rocks, but she wasn’t paying much attention to the faces, she only stole a quick glance around before starting to lightly shake Gavin. He had been the one to talk her in to helping out with this whole saving humanity thing. It wasn’t that she didn’t care, but she just didn’t want to run into a certain someone while trying to save the world.
She rolled her eyes when Gavin continued to sleep as if he had nothing better to do. “Gav, wake up.” She whisper yelled. “I don’t want to be here any longer then we have to be.” She frowned gently. She really wasn’t in any mood to socialize, in fact besides the occasional flirting with guys at the bar, she had become quite closed off and spent most of her time at work or reading. Gavin opened his eyes slowly giving his sister a cocky smile, taking his time as he woke up. He had spent a good amount of time in Maya Virtuele, but he wasn’t addicted to it like most people, he was never the type to become addicted, he could smoke a whole pack of cigarettes and never pick one up again.
He sat up glancing around seeing the rest of their team some awake some still asleep then he spotted the guy leaning against the rocks. “Oh Shit.” He whispered under his breath before glancing to Serenity. “Well this should be interesting.” He smirked. Noah had been like a brother to him, but when Serenity and Noah started dating it was different and although he still cared about his best friend, his step sister was more important and he had chosen her side when they broke up. Serenity glanced in the direction of the rocks again this time realizing who it was. She took a deep breath and her face flushed white as if she’s seen a ghost. She wanted to see him again more than anything, she had picked up the phone at least twice a day in an attempt to call, but would always chicken out. Now he was here and all she wanted to do was run, but she was stuck.
Still the word escaped, before she could stop them. “Gavin take me home now.” she whispered fighting back tears. “Wren you can’t keep running forever.” Gavin’s voice was harsher then he meant it to be as he stood up, helping her up. “Stop making this about you and him and all you damn drama, it’s in the past.” His blue eyes staring into hers “This is about saving humanity and I you happen to hook up with your ex along the way, I don’t see the harm in that.” He laughed. Serenity frowned and as much as she didn’t want to admit it Gavin was right, she couldn’t run forever, but why did it have to be here, why’d it have to be now. She knew Noah wouldn’t recognize her (she looked like a whole different person with her new hair color) at least not till she spoke, her accent was a dead giveaway. “Come on sis, let go figure out what’s going down.” He said as they headed over to meet up with the others.
