And that's when I saw her.

Azaria's POV

There, standing right in front of me, was Rishelle. Thoughts flooded my head.

How did she get here? How long has she been following us? Why did she do it?! I inched toward her until we were face to face. I looked straight into her eyes, though I could barely see them. The moon was now out.

"Why?" Was all I said.

"I had to come. You know you need me. We need each other. I don't have to go in, but I'm coming." She smiled a friendly and determined smile. There was a long silence between us, and all I could hear was crickets, once again.

"She was right. I did need her." We did need each other.

"You can stand outside and stand guard. Thank you for coming back." Before she could say anything else, I pulled her into a tight hug. I didn't know what I would've done if she hadn't come back.

Unknown POV

Midnight.

It was midnight and I still hadn't found not one Crew member. Not even an Ando. My first thought was that they'd left the city, but then I decided that that couldn't have been it. I rounded corners, went through forests and just when I thought all my luck was gone, I spotted a sight I hoped to not ever see again.

Ando headquarters.

At first, I wanted to run far, far away from it, but I decided that that was ridiculous, so I crept up to the nearest window and peered through. My arm had stopped hurting by then.

The avatar is planning something, something big, but as usual, we are planning something bigger. Nephlim began in his usual inhuman tone. He was pacing in front of at least five Ando's who were staring at him intently. We might not know what miss Azaria is planning, but we do know this, we are not the target. My eyes widened at that. What did he mean, they weren't the target? Who else could possibly be the target. Nephlim's voice tore into my thoughts. We are going to let her go through with her little plan, but after that, we find her, and destroy her. As slowly, as possible... That was it. Those last words. That last sentence: As slowly, as possible As slowly, as possible As slowly, as possibleThat was the last word I could take. I turned around, and ran, just as I was going to do before, but instead of running far, far away, I was running to the place the targets Azaria had thought of, were staying. After all, I knew who the targets were, and I also knew by the time I got there, Azaria would have done her damage.

Azaria's POV

I brought Rishelle back to the alley where the others were snoozing and noticed that they had awaken. They didn't look tired, they looked....worried. Then I knew why.

"Look guys, I'm sorry for just leaving you all like that, but Rishelle..." My voice trailed off. I wasn't sure how to explain Rishelle's presence without making her sound like a spy. Luckily, she took over before I had the chance to say something I would regret.

"I followed all of you almost five minutes after Azaria left me standing by that tree." She explained and pointed in the direction of the tree she was referring to. I know it was decisive, but I just couldn't let you guys destroy my brother without me. She finished with a hint of a mischievous smirk. I silently thanked her for helping the mysterious mood turn into a happy one. Everyone else seemed to be thanking her in their own silent ways also.

We hadn't gotten much sleep since Rishelle had come back, and since I hadn't had a nap like the rest of us, not including Rishelle, I was pretty irritable when the sun came up.

But that didn't stop me from getting up and walking with the rest of us to our destination.
