In the early hours of the morning, I found myself sitting outside with Oliver and Whitney on either side of me. I didn't sleep at all the night before knowing what I was going to be witness to. We watched and listened as the ship's engines loudly powered on and it slowly took to the sky.

I shook my head as we watched. "This isn't right," I said, "we should have stopped it."

Whitney sighed and put her head on my shoulder. "I know, Tiff, but we will get them back eventually. We were promised that much."

Oliver didn't say anything, just nodded as he wrapped an arm around my waist.

In silence, we kept our eyes on the ship until it eventually disappeared into the sky.
