The
room was dark, In walks a girl, about fifteen, with long crimped brown hair and
blue eyes, standing five feet, turns on a light and sits at a desk. She sighs
and rests her head in her hands and closes her eyes.
Another
girl walks in, also fifteen, she has curly brown hair, shoulder length, and
green eyes, standing four feet eleven inches. She turns, closes the door, and
waits.
"What
Liz?" The girl asks, taking her head out of her hands and rotating the
chair to face the other girl.
"Have
you got it done yet?" Liz asks.
"NOOO"
The girl moans.
"What
do you mean no, Shai, you've been working on it for four months. I need it
now."
"I
don't have it, its too hard"
"How
hard?!" Liz demands
"Every
time I start to write, that damn problem keeps happening."
"oh!"
Liz exclaim, "Umm.. oh...ah, well can you stop it?"
"Don't
you think I would have already?"
"Well,"
Liz says desperately"Lets see how severe it is."
"Ok....."
Shai sits down at the desk, pulls out a laptop, and opens the laptop, placing
her hands on the keyboard. "ready"
Liz
nodds.
Shai
starts typing..Heero and Relena had been married for five months now, living in
a cabin in Maine, but now, Heero had been assigned to another mission, and even
with Relena pregnant, he was going
Liz
looks up, "nothing so far"
"Yeah
but I haven't put the period at the end of the sentence yet." Shai puts
the period at the end of the sentence, and then it happened.
Liz
was held back
*******
A
17yr old Heero and Relena had appearing the the middle of the office room. Lizy
was amazed while Shai was shaking her head in disapproval. Heero took hold of
Relena's hand. "Relena, I'm sorry, but its a mission" He explained.
"Oh..
and that's more important to you than our baby..your baby! That's all you care
about, your mission, sometimes I don't know why we ever got married!"
"Oh
Relena...you don't honestly mean that, do you?" Heero asked sincerely.
Relena
sighed, rubbing her hand over her large and quickly growing stomach.
"No..but you make me question what is more important..your stupid mission
or me?" She said almost in a whisper.
"You
are baby, but my mission is my job, and without my job, what is there to
support our soon to be baby? I'll be home soon, I promise."
*********
Liz
sighed as she moved over to stand by the side of Shai. "I see.. but can
you work with them?"
"No
I can't! Because whenever I start to write about another character..well
look" She starts typing again...While with Hilde and Duo it was somewhat
of a different scenerio.
********
Hilde
and Duo had now joined Heero and Relena in standing in the room. Hilde was
hugging Duo strongly while he tried to pry her off. "Hilde control
yourself!" He screamed.
"Sorry,"
Hilde started, "Its only that...well a new mission, that's so exciting. I
mean we'll be helping save the world again."
"We?"
Duo asked.
"Well
yeah, I'm going with you." Hilde said excitedly.
"Uh
no." Duo said as he looked at Hilde starting to look less and less
excited. "Ohh no! Do you even remember last time?"
"Ok,
so I got a little injured."
"You
were in the hospital for three months, you almost died."
"But
that's in the past, come on baby," Hilde said stroking Duo's hair
seductively, "I'll be careful, and I've been training."
"Fine,
you can ASSIST on the mission," Duo started. Hilde got excited. "As
long as you work with Sally."
"WHAT!"
Hilde screamed so loudly, that Shai and Lizy blocked their ears in pain. Hilde
started to cry, but kept shouting, "BUT SALLY WORKS IN A SMELLY CROWDED
OFFICE BUILDING, I want action."
"That
is action, the most you're getting" Duo said
"I'll
get into the fighting, somehow." Hilde saiid
"I
know" Duo said saddened.
********
*******
"They just keep coming"says Shai, "Its horrible"
"Well work something out."Liz said confidently.
"I'll try" shai says as Liz leaves the room with Heero,
Relena, Duo and
Hilde,
just standing there.
Shai crosses her arms on the desk, puts her head in her arms and falls
asleep.
******
"Where am I?" Shai asks the blank air as she sits up from a white
marble
floor.
As she stands, the room comes into view. It is a large room, about ten
feet
high, and too large to count. Shai realizes she is sitting on a canopy
bed,
although the sheets are perfectly straight, not ruffled in any way.
Because
the bed is so high, there is a small set of three stairs to one side.
Shai
slowly climbs down the stairs. She walks about the room for a moment
before
noticing a mirror. She looks into the standing mirror to find herself
wearing
a white silk mini button sweater, cut off above the stomach and light
pink
silk dress that flowed down her legs to a centimeter above the floor.
"Ok...now
this is weird, first I got people popping up whenever I start
to
write, and now, now I fall asleep and wake up in some huge room looking
like
a very tired Sleeping Beauty..haha tired, sleeping beauty, ahh, ok so it
wasn't
that funny." Shai finds a door , she walks up, grabs the handle, and
pulls.
"What the F*CK!! Why won't this stupid door open!" Shai
screams as she
pulls
on the handle for the fiftith time shouting other profanities. She
gives
up and stomps her way back to to bed to sit and sulk.
An hour passes and there is a knock on the door. She goes to answer.
"You
might
as well go away, the door is jammed shut." She says hoping the person
on
the other side heard her. The handle turns and the door opens. In walks a
boy,
no a man, about five seven, he has blond hair in a sort of mushroom cut
with
gentle blue eyes. Shai is almost taken back by his looks but quickly
regains
her composure, closing her jaw.
"Hello Shai, well it is nice that you are here, follow me
please..."
"Wha Wha....uh huh.....damn if only Liz were here, she'd be falling
backward."
Shai says as she follows him out the door into a large hallway.
"Did you have to do that?" The man asks trying to stay polite.
"Do what?" Shai asks obviously confused about what her mistake
had been.
"Well..turn around." He says. She turns to find Liz standing
behind her
dressed
in a beautiful pink knee-length skirt with a light pink long sleeve
blouse
and a suade vest to match the skirt.
"Uh..huh" Shai says almost in a daze, "Now I know she
wasn't there a
minute
ago."
As if a doll coming alive, Liz all of a sudden blinks, opens her mouth
and
then moves forward toward Shai. "Hi Shai, now I got a question for
you,
I'm
sitting at my desk working on the website when, huh, I just appear
here.....got
any IDEAS?!" Shai shakes her head and turns to the man hoping
for
some answers. Liz looks at the man as well and suddenly starts jumping up
and
down screaming, "OHHH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY
GOD!!!IT...IT....ITS
HIM, ITS HIM, ITS REALLY FREAKIN HIM."
"LIZ! Chill out, jeez man, even I didn't spaz that much!" Shai
trys
screaming
to Liz.
"Butbutbut..but its him..its Quatre, OH MY gOD AND HE'S MORE
TOTALLY
DREAMY
THAN HE EVER WAS." Shai looks at Quatre and then at Liz and then at
Quatre
again who is trying not to smile but is blushing so much that his
usually
pale cheeks are now a bright red. Shai looks at him for answers.
"Nevermind,"He explains shaking it off, "Just follow me,
I'll tell you
about
it later." He leads the two girls down a marble stairway and into a
large
dining room. Everything looks like it came from the midevil times in a
very
rich castle, and everything looks fit for a ten foot tall man. There are
other
people at the table too, Quatre's well known friends, Heero, Duo,
Trowa,
Wufei, and Milliardo. The girls are no where to be seen, both girls
are
overcome by what they see. Liz is still staring at Quatre dreamy eyed,
while
Quatre trys not to look but can't help glancing over, and Shai is about
to
faint head over heals and the six totally steamy hot, and to die for guys
all
sitting at the table, most of whom, with the exception of Quatre, are
looking
directly at her.
Milliardo stands up ," Sit, please." He directs his hand to
two seats on
the
opposite side of the table. Shai pulls Liz who is still staring at
Quatre.
Quatre also sits at his seat at the top of the table. Milliardo
speaks
again, "We need to talk."
*********
I sat in my room with Liz, the same one as before. I was thinking over
what Milliardo had said, it worried me a little, two much pressure. What were
these tests I would be taking to test my power, I didn't know but they worried
me a little.
"So you get what they said?" Liz asked me.
"Yeah, kinda."
"Its interesting how you never really create something new, just
take something from somewhere else, like they appeared in our demention from
their demension and I brought you here from our demension, here to their
demension."
"But it is your demension too, remember, it is all the conjuers
want. That is what Milliardo said. That the conjuers, the people with your
power, created this demension, and all visited it often."Liz said to me,
trying to let me understand her reasoning. I did, but I wouldn't admit it, it
was all too weird to understand at once, but I did. I understood that I had a
power to make things move from whereever they were, to near me, in just one
stop. That it was a type of telepathy that allowed me to bring things to life
as well, like my characters. I was like in charge of whatever I wanted. Also I
learned that my mother, whom I never met because I was put up for adoption when
I was an infant because she died in a car accident, had somehow also had the
power, and strangly enough, for it had never happened before. There were people
with my power before me, but none had ever given birth to a child that also had
the power.
*********
I awoke in the morning to birds chirping. I looked out the window, the
sun wasn't visible, just the clouds and rain, and yet, it was still a beautifyl
day, the birds made that clear. Inside the building, however, it was not
beautiful, it was dull, the beauty outside was muted by the large concrete
walls. Unlike the days before, the home was now a cage, a miserable cage. I
didn't care that it rained outside, I wanted to be out there, walking through
the corridors, my head was hanging low. My training began soon. I dragged
myself into a dully-lit room. The walls were padded, and the floor was
soft,plush, rug. The whole room was white. There was no furniture, no chairs,
nothing. I got tired, and dropped to sitting position on the floor. It was
cold, I hated it, the room was full in the essance of everything I hate.
Milliardo walked in a little while later, now we would begin my
training. "Your first task," He read
from
a sheet, "Is to make a chair appear."
"WHAT?" I asked, what was he talking about?
"Make a chair appear." He repeated.
"Where? I mean..how?" I asked
"Here, right here" He pointed to the floor in front of him.
"How?" I asked again.
"Use your gift." He answered. He must have been talking about
that mind trick thing.
"I wish a couch would appear." I said.
"WHAT THE.." Someone screamed from behind me. Milliardo was
shaking his head in disappointment. I turned, Duo sat on the floor behind me.
He stood up, very mad, and stormed out.
"Ok......" Milliardo said, "that didn't work the way I
wanted."
"Should I try again."
"Uh..yeah, I will be right back, keep practicing." Milliardo
left the room to go talk to Quatre. When he returned Quatre in foot, I had
managed to get a car, a bed, a whole lot of pillows, and a kitten, no chair. I
was improving though, my last attempt brought the backseat of a car.
"Shai, chill a minute." Quatre said as a couch appeared next
to the pile of junk. I stopped. "I got something for you...its a book, it
should help with your...problem."
"Really..wow cool, what's it about."
"Well I really don't know but your mom, when she was about your
age, gave it to a friend of mine who gave it to me to give to you."
"Oh ok, umm whatever, I'll read it." I said and sat down on
the couch, pulling the kitten onto my lap as I started to read.
*********
To whomever may recieve this book,
This was given to you because you have the gift. The gift,
as I am sure you know what it is so far, is one that only one person, in each
generation, is blessed with. You must charish your gift, because it is a
dangerous thing, and a thing, that you can lose, yes you can lose it, and you
will, if you aren't careful.
I recieved this power, yes it is a power, when I was
young, about fifteen, you may have gotten it before or after, it isn't
important. The important thing is I got it. At first I was freaked out, as I am
sure you were. I got over the shock but I couldn't control my power. Whenever I
started to write, it happened, just by writing them, just by thinking them,
they appeared, right there, and I couldn't stop it. But later on in my life, I
met someone, his name was Samuel Johnson Maxwell, he had the same problem I
had, he was much older though, and he could control it. He taught me to control
my powers. I learned quickly, and it is amazing what you can do with your
powers. If you abuse them however, they will be gone. Samuel learned this from
his mentor.
I used my powers all for good, and didn't lose them, but
with my power came another one, that you may or may not have, you always get
two powers, the other one, was premonitions. I got premonitions all the time,
they always came true. One time, I got a premonition that I would pass on
before the next seceder would follow. From this premonition, I composed all my
notes into one book, to help you, like my mentors before me. This book, I
realized can be added to, by you, and then you may give them to your seceder as
well.
First, I am guessing that there are many things you
conguered up, that you shouldn't have, and you might want to put back to their
original position. To do this, just close your eyes and repeat, " All the
things that I made appear, now make disappear."
********
I did so, all the stuff disappeared, and I fell to the ground, the
kitten was gone as well.
*******
Now, To control your power, you must concentrate,
hard, and whatever you want will come true. First, try to conguer a pillow,
that is almost always what you conguer first.
*******
I closed my eyes again, there appeared a pillow, a black pillow, with
red lining, and a red tassle at one corner, it was the one I had at home, in
the other world.
********
Now I imagine that you did that. See with this power are
set a set of tests that you must pass in order to use them properly. The first
is to make a chair appear. The way to do this is to want it. What ever you
want, it will happen if you concentrate and you really want it. If you wish for
something you don't really want, your power will know this from inside you, and
it won't work. You can conguer anything you really want, but be warned, conguer
something for evil and your power will be gone.
********
Quatre stood there waiting for me to finish, when I closed the book, he
walked over and let his hand down to me, assisting me in standing up. He hugged
me in congradulations. "Your time here is almost over you know, you have
to go back to your world."
"I don't want to." I said, my eyes got watery, whether because
I conquered my power, or that I was leaving and I knew I was, but I knew I was
about to cry, and I was trying to hold it in, to keep my dignity while in the
presence of someone so strong. Quatre seemed to scense that I was about to cry,
he stopped hugging me, and left. I dropped to the ground sobbing. I didn't want
to leave. It was all so perfect here, well except this room, and I could go to
the beautiful outdoors, well when it wasn't raining, everyone made sure I
didn't go out when it rained, they thought I would get sick, I wouldn't get
sick. I would be here for a couple more days, until my fifth task was
completed, I hadn't even passed my first task yet.
