presumed dead, who is also the son of another Council member? How did
this happen? Scaden chose his next words carefully.
    “Randor,
how old is Cari?” He asked gently.
    “She’s
twenty six years old. Her full name is Caretia Ann Lakatis. Mikel named her
after his mother and his mate. She grew into such a beautiful woman. Always
such a good child. But stubborn. So very stubborn. That’s why we have to find
her soon, or they’ll kill her. She won’t allow them to touch her and try to
breed her. She’ll make them kill her first.” Randor said on a broken sob.
    Scaden
tried very hard to control his rage. He would not allow anyone to touch her or
breed with her! “Assemble the Tact Team and prepare to port back to the housing
unit immediately.” He fairly growled into his comm unit.
    “You
have to know something before you go. Our children were born here with special
gifts. Cari is what we’ve called a projectionist. She can project her emotions
to everyone around her and make them feel what she is feeling. She can make
everyone around her afraid, or happy or angry. If you begin to feel emotions
normally foreign to you or the situation, then you’ve found her. Try to fight
through the emotions. Don’t let it control you. She’s most likely projecting
anger, so they’ll kill her or fear in order to keep them away from her.” Randor
warned, the exhaustion of his injuries evident in his voice.
    “There
are more children out there on this planet?” Amun asked in shock.
    “Yes,
at least twenty or thirty at last count, if not more by now. We’ve lost dozens
to the Relian attacks, including my own mate and child. It is a long story, and
one we don’t have time for now.” Randor replied, before succumbing to a healing
sleep.
    “There
are more females out there? How did they get mates?” Amun asked Scaden.
    “I
don’t know. Right now, there is one female we know is in danger, and we have to
find her. We can tear this planet apart to find the others later.” Scaden replied
walking out of the MedLab.
    He
walked down the corridor to the Tact Team room on the transport. He tried hard
to get his head wrapped around the idea of, there being more Valendran children
on this planet. And what did Randor mean about 'her gift', did the other
children have the same gift? He couldn’t seem to understand his own need to
find this girl. The thought of anyone touching her, drove him crazy and made
him want to violently harm someone. However, a Relian touching her… he wanted
to tear them apart with his bare hands.
    Walking
into the Tact Team Room he looked around at all of his men. Trusted men.
However, he knew if even one of them touched her, he’d harm them. And he just
couldn’t understand why, but he knew it to be a fact.
    “I’ll
brief you all on the newest developments at the housing unit.” Scaden said, not
waiting for their confirmation of his order before using his port stone to
arrive at Randor's cabin.

 
    Chapter Five
    Niklosi’s
team met him at the front of the home, and the other Tact Team members began to
port there as well. Once the team was all assembled, Scaden briefed his men.
    “We’ve
confirmed that the man is Randor Macner, son of Counselor Macner, and presumed
dead on the Outpost. And we’ve confirmed that the female with him, is the child
of Mikel Lakatis, son of Counselor Lakatis, and also presumed dead on the
Outpost.” Scaden paused allowing his men to absorb the ramifications of what he
had just said.
    “They
survived! On this planet? How did they find mates? How many are still alive?”
Balduen asked his commander is shock.
    “Randor
has confirmed that there are at least 20 to 30 more children on this planet.
And they are being hunted by the Relians. He has said that they have lost at
least a dozen children to Relian attacks. In fact, Mikel and his mate lost
their lives. Right now, we need to find their daughter. Randor said her name is
Caretia, as she is named after her father’s
