Chapter Nine

The next morning when she woke up she was happy. It had been a long time since she’d had feelings for anyone and now had feelings for two. The girls were clinging to her and she realized she was going to miss Rori, a lot. She could only imagine her father missed her something terrible. He probably didn’t even know what had happened to her. Still, Ruby had grown attached to the girl and would be sad and happy to see her go.

“Today, we’re going to find your dad,” Ruby told her.

Rori looked up with wide eyes.

Charles walked in and smiled at them.

“What's the plan now that we're all safe and better?” he asked.

“We need to get this sweet, little girl back to her father,” Ruby said. “We’re going to take her back to the mall where she was taken. I was actually on my way to Sarta for school before of all this happened. I know my way around there.”

“How are we supposed to find her father once we're there?”

“I don’t actually know. I guess go back to the mall.” Ruby hoped her parents hadn’t given up hope. She didn’t know how long Rori had been missing. Time passed differently for small children. It was possible it had been over a year. She just really hoped the Craintors hadn’t killed her mother.

“You know some of my parents are from Sarta,” Ruby said as she sat in the bathroom while Rori bathed. She felt like it was a luxury the girl hadn’t been given recently.

“Some of your parents?” She looked up at her.

“Oh, Yes. I have more than one mommy and daddy,” Ruby said, wondering how far she should take the explanation.

Ruby nodded.

“Like how my mommy wasn’t my real mommy. She married daddy later.”

“Yes, kind of like that.” Ruby decided

“I’m going to get to see Rowan!” Rori said excitedly, splashing water all over the floor.

Ruby laughed. “Who is Rowan?”

“He’s my twin brother. Daddy says I’m a minute older than him. He likes trucks and I like princesses.”

Ruby’s heart broke all over again. She had a twin. Her poor family probably missed her terribly.

Before they left the hotel, Ruby put in a call to a mechanic who was near the hotel. He said he would take a look at the ship for her. She was running low on funds since she’d only had enough to get started on Sarta so she hoped he wasn’t expensive.

“I’ll help pay for fixing the ship Ruby. Don’t worry about it,” Charles said.

“Thank you, but let’s wait and see how much it is.”

“Where were you going when you left Manta Ray? I don’t think I’ve asked,” Ruby said. They were walking towards the ship and Sammie was behind them skipping with the girls.

“We were running away.”

“You were. From what?” Ruby asked inquisitively.

“Earth Two. It is a very conservative planet. We didn’t really fit into their society’s norms. There were other polygamists like us, but they ultimately would get scared into changing their ways. Once that happened, they would become our enemy.
