Fault

Kezia glared at Trevor. "You do realize, right, that we won't be able to pick them up?!"

Trevor avoided his sister's glare, mainly because he was trying to steer the ship away from the dreadnaught approaching them. "Yes! I can't fight this thing! It's huge!"

Kezia couldn't have agreed more. The Dawn Follower, Khan's most powerful ship, was humongous. Thankfully its sister ship, the Dawn Slayer, wasn't finished yet. "We have GOT to do something!"

Trevor didn't answer as more fire ripped into the side of his ship. "Kezia, they'll just have to deal with it themselves!"

Jackson

I struggled forward as the ship pitched and rolled. Where were Kezia and Trevor?!

"Jackson!" Abigail screamed. She was pointing out the window, struggling against the sudden force that threatened to shove us against the opposite wall.

I used a force field to steady myself while staring out of the window. Kezia and Trevor were...leaving?!

"Jackson!" Abigail screamed again. Her fingers, which were white, slipped off of the narrow bar of steel, and she went flying across the hold.

I was so scared she was going to smash into the steel wall I yelled, too. 

"Got her!" Jenny announced, catching her with a force field. "Where's Chris?!"

"I don't know! He and the others took off after Khan." She sounded frantic and scared.

"Calm down," I soothed over the roar of the engines and the cargo sliding around in the haul. 

A cable snapped and crates crashed to the floor, shattering open. I slung Julia's limp body over my shoulder, and raced for the elevator out of the hold.

Chris

Gabriella and Tawny were trying as hard as they could, but they weren't making much progress. We were going to lose. Khan was going to have us in his clutches. 

"I hate you Roman," I hissed to myself. "It's all your fault." Crystal had been right--there was something off about him.

"We're going to lose!" Gabriella screamed.

"Are you saying that because you saw the future or because you've almost got your head chopped off three times?"

"I saw it!"

If Gabriella saw it, well it was going to happen. There was no way we were going to make it out of this alive.

"Chris!" Jenny was instantly at my side, ice flowing from her palms. 

"Where are Kezia and Trevor?" I demanded, knocking out one of Khan's bodyguards.

"They left!" she shouted. "The ship was sustaining too much damage! We need to make it to the escape pods!"

Crystal leaped down from the balcony over head, landing between two bodyguards. She swung the blade staff to the right and the left slashing both of their chests through the thick armor.

I was watching all of this happen in slow motion. We were trapped, and fighting for our lives, and we were all going to die.

And it was all my fault.
