“What kind of
civil war?” Edward asked as he stared at the destruction around him.
“A war started by
the Illuminati between the wealthy and the poor. A war started to take the
focus away from what was really happening.”
Edward watched as
she climbed out of the car and headed to the trunk. He felt sick to his stomach
and not because of the trip through time. If America had fallen prey to the
immortals, then what shape would he find his beloved England in? He climbed out
of the car and joined Lilith. He was silent as he removed his protective jumpsuit;
his mind was on the wreckage around him.
“Edward, this is only the tip of the iceberg” she
spoke softly, pulling him from his thoughts. She took his hand, kissed it and
then held it against her heart, “The rest is much worse.”
“If we find
Lazarus, will we be able to stop all of this?” He gestured with his free hand
to the scene before them.
“Not all of this
can be blamed on the Immortals or the Illuminati. The final choice is always
left to man to do the right thing...free will is a double edged sword.”
“Can we stop it,
any of it?”
“I think you know
me well enough, by now.” She moved into his arms and brushed her lips
against his. “I will do my best to save your species.”
