Unearthly Love: Early Encounters (Unearthly Love Supernatural Romance Series Book 1)

Telepathy

As soon as the shape shifting Xemlix marched out of the Opera House most of the reporters ran away but it only took a few to cover the scene. That evening the whole world saw what no human being should ever be exposed to.

"What's the fear level?" asked Tiluk his terror team.

"We are now at 47 units. The Sydney event raised the fear level by 17 units. The hybrid was right."

"Very good," said Tiluk, "If only we can get that number to 50, we will be able to materialize on Earth in great numbers and when we get that number to 100, which shouldn't be a problem with so many Xemlix on Earth - the Lapo dimension will cease to be," he calculated. Tiluk's performance was certainly pleasing Lord Slith, maybe Tiluk's life wouldn't end prematurely after all.

Meldrick returned to Lapo and stormed into the Operations Center.

"Jovius," he said, "The Xemlix are growing stronger and stronger with the clone at their side. You are a descendant of the great wizard, what are your thoughts?"

Jovius ran his hand down his long grey beard, his blue eyes sparkling, his expression solemn.

"Only the descendants of the Eff are able to lock the Xemlix in their dimension. You know what you have to do. It's time."

"But Ava only started awakening her powers. How can she possibly lock the Xemlix in their dimension?"

"We are running out of time. The Xemlix have materialized on Earth and humans are petrified. The fear rate will start growing exponentially if we don't interfere," said Jovius.

"I'm sure we can do something without risking Ava's life," protested Meldrick.

"You have grown fond of this human-Eff girl and you want to protect her just like you've protected her all her life. But you need to bring her to Earth fast or else... the unthinkable will happen."

Meldrick rushed to Ava's cabin only to find Daniela preparing the cabin for the night.

"Daniela, do you know where Miss Davenport is dining?" he asked.

"Sir Richglow, I'm afraid she left for a boat ride," informed Daniela.

"A boat ride? With whom?" Meldrick ran to the bottom deck to ask the operators who Ava left with and when the answer was "Xenia" Meldrick for the first time realized what a threat that human was to Ava this whole time. He took his Aria yacht and sped with all the boat's might disappearing into the horizon. There was only one place Xenia could have taken her - the scarlet waters.

When he reached the point where the purple ocean turned to red he stopped the engine. The portal to the Darth dimension, a place of nothingness where the beings didn't feel much with the exception of large scale events concerning the whole galaxy. "No!" he screamed as he realized he must have arrived too late. Ava was nowhere to be seen but neither was the boat.

He sat at the edge of his beloved Aria and thought how blessed he was to have had Ava in his life. He thought of her delicate skin, her sweet lips, her enthusiasm. He wondered what she could have done to defend herself alone with a being as cruel as Xenia but couldn't think of anything. He hoped not all was gone but for the first time in his life felt completely helpless. Not only his life made no more sense, the Lapo would shortly cease to be and the humans would became Xemlix slaves, mere fear generators.

Suddenly the squeaking of a mengo pulled him out of his thoughts.

"What is it boy?" he asked. The little fellow kept jumping up and down pointing him towards an island on the horizon.
