A long moment of silence passes in a blur.
Everyone stares at me while I have my eyes focused on Pixie. She glances up at me gleefully.
"I don't understand," I finally speak. "Why? I'm only human. Why not tell her to find another Garde and protect them? Why me?"
"I don't know," John responds.
"There must be a reason," Henri adds, stroking his chin deep in thought.
"It is cool though," Sam says. We all give him an uncertain look. "What? Is it not cool?" he adds.
I give a partial smile and reply, "Okay, I guess it is kind of cool."
John chuckles and Sam and I join in. Six and Henri do not, remaining to be as serious as before the laughter began.
"So, now what?" Six asks with an attitude wanting to get back on task. "What's our next move?"
"Well, based on what I've read from Pittacus' novels, there should be another Garde in Spain. Number Seven actually. I think it's best we find her. What do you guys think?"
"It sounds like a good idea," John says. "How will we get there? By plane or car?"
"Plane is usually more dangerous," Six comments. "If the mogs follow us aboard, we'd be trapped up there."
"I think it's worth the risk," Henri notes. "We should meet up with that Garde as soon as possible. We'll take all the necessary precautions. I trust that we'll be okay."
We all nod.
"Ready yourselves and get a good night's sleep. I'll book plane tickets for all of us and we'll leave first thing tomorrow," Henri states.
