      Book 7

      CHAPTER ONE

      IT FEELS good to breathe fresh air, mentioned Clay, recounting the memories of the stale oxygen in the shuttle while waiting to be rescued. He trembled at the thought of dying seven hundred feet underwater.

      Josh stood military style next to him, deciding to remain non-committal. Instead of looking at him his gaze appeared fixed on a small round light hovering three feet off the ground near the middle of the grassland.

      They found us!

      Florian tore her attention away from the wrecked shuttle wondering if they might ever be able to get the craft operational again. She looked to where Josh was pointing. Something about how he said the three-word line made her feel uneasy. A sudden chill showered her body. The hairs on the back of her neck stood straight.

      Clay also looked to where Josh pointed. At the same time, Florian’s mouth opened, the boys expected a scream. Instead, they heard only silence.

      What is it? whispered Clay.

      What do you mean they found us? questioned Florian.

      A vortex the width of a finger formed. The phenomenon was growing at an alarming rate. A third of a minute later, the trio saw the vortex starting to revolve.

      Josh looked sideways at his two shipmates. He didn’t know what to say.

      We’re waiting for an answer Josh boy, snarled Clay.

      Florian watched him gulp. She saw him back step away.

      Don’t you dare run off, ordered Florian. Clay and I demand an answer.

      The future ‘ME’ told us about the plague coming.

      You know it’s not what we heard, said Florian.

      I’m thinking along the lines the plague probably represents creatures of some kind. I believe they’re from the alien spaceship.

      Florian eyeballed Josh. Since they first met on the shuttle just before crashing on Planet X91, she had believed all his excuses. Now she sensed the opposite. Something seemed amiss.

      I think you know critical information which you’re refusing to tell us?

      I recommend we get back inside the Piper for safety, said Clay, leading the charge.

      Good idea, echoed Florian. When the hatch is locked, we can watch the vortex while we devise a plan of attack.

      Josh ran after the other two, hitting the hatch ‘close’ button the moment he stepped over the threshold and into the Piper spaceship. By the time the teenagers were standing on the bridge the hatch finished closing.

      All the while the vortex grew.

      The computer monitor indicated the bright light measured four inches across its girth.

      Florian folded her arms. Josh Quinn, spill what you know.

      You mightn’t like what I’m about to say.

      Like it or not, we have to know. The shuttle is a broken derelict. It’ll take months to get her flight ready, if at all. The Piper has a hole in the dome. Unless we can discover a way to fix the shuttle we’re stuck on this planet. We are about to face something called a plague which we know nothing about. I’m betting you do, stated Florian.

      Josh leaned against the bench in front of the computer monitors sweeping his gaze between Clay and Florian. They resembled a lynch mob. It’s not too hard to understand.

      Tell us so we can discuss the knowledge, said Clay Silver.

      They want the Piper back.

      Who wants the Piper back? questioned Florian and Clay simultaneously.

      The aliens Captain Rowark stole the ship from.

      For several moments, Florian and Clay analyzed the fact, slowly digesting what he confessed. They portrayed an unhappy couple.

      So, you’re admitting this ship we have called our home since crashing on this planet makes up one spaceship in a vast fleet which belongs to an alien culture?

      Yes.

      Josh, I think you know exactly what’s going on. Tell us more, spat Clay.

      The so-called plague, which will be coming through the vortex are small creatures made of metal. The aliens have launched them.

      The same ones who want the Piper back? asked Florian.

      Yes.

      How do you know this? questioned Florian. Her blue eyes were ablaze. To keep up her murderous stare, she swept her dark fringe from her eyes.

      Josh pushed his blond hair from his face. "They’re the ones we met in the mountains. Evelina and Briana were in charge of the scouting party. They suspected the Piper was here. When the ship dematerialized and us along with it, they couldn’t see where we were. They stayed close hoping to discover more. They must have sent a
