Frame of Mind

Ding

Now I've got the rest of the day by myself.

I run back inside to grab some more gadgets and run back outside into the canyon. Sandor not even noticing me dash out.

I turn on my hover boots and fly through the air. I feel the wing through my ears as I weave through the canyon, like it's a huge maze. Until I make it, through the canyon, to my favorite place on the planet. I stand on the edge of a cliff, looking at the wasteland below me. It's basically a valley, with out the life.

I look out at the desert and let out a huge happy scream, I come here every day and yet it still amazes me. It isn't much, but it's as close as I'm ever going to get to perfection.

I sit over the edge of the cliff with my legs hanging over, hot wind in my face causing me to sweat, but I don't care.

When I'm here it means 'me time'

I look up at the clear sky and see a moon in the atmosphere. I've never actually left this planet, well of course expect when we came here. Sandor believes that this tumbleweed of a planet won't attract Tachyon.

I wish I could see space. It's funny that I can remember a genocidal attack, but can't remember complete emptiness and a thousand glowing star lighting the way. A Laugh escapes my mouth.

I wish things could've been better. I wish me and Sandor had time to get to the dimension with the others. I wish it wasn't up to me to get rid of the runt. Sometimes I even think maybe it would've been better if I died with my kind. There's just so much presser, on me. What if I fail? Sandor tells me I won't. But I know the chances of me winning are 1 to 100,000,000. Sandor tells me he'll be there with me, and everything will be OK, but the way he speaks, he doesn't sound so confident.

Sometimes I dream of taking Sandor hidden emergency ship and fly away from my problems. So much for hidden, I found it in a old shed the other month. I've even learnt how to fly it. Not that he knows that I know. oh well, what you don't know can't hurt you.

The small nav-unit system that's implanted in my glove begins to flash. I know it's Sandor, probably wanting something. I choose to ignore it. A few minutes later, it flashes again. I stand up and answer it.

"hello?" I say in a sarcastic voice

"why, didn't you answer?" Sandor asks in a angry tone

"OK mum, calm down, I was just-"

"I was worried sick, I thought something happened to you"

I let him keep talking, while I roll my eyes

"I'll be home in half an hour, OK 'mum'? I hang up before he can answer.

I make it back to the house easily. As soon as the door opens and I step inside I hear Sandor running towards me. I know I'm in trouble of some reason.

"where were you!" He shouts

"you know where I go" I protest "I always go there"

"then If you were save, then why didn't you answer me when I called?"

I shrug my shoulders "I don't know, I was just busy"

"doing what?" he shouts again

"What's with all the questions? anyway, I always go to that cliff, there's nothing out of the usual"

Sandor ignores me. He opens the door behind me and sticks his head out like his looking for someone "were you followed?"  

"why can't you just answer me?"

Sandor sighs and gives me a apologetic look "I saw some of tachyons dropship, I thought they found you"

I look at him worried.  Sandor kneels down to me, so we're eye to eye "But you're ok, kiddo" he says softly "that's all that matters"

"are we leaving?" I ask

Sandor shakes his head "we should be safe here, if we stay put"

He stands up and walks back towards his computers "that mean Lorraine,That you can't leave here until I say so" he turns back to me "do you understand?"

"how sure are you that they're even tachyons?" I ask

"I'm about 40% sure" Sandor says confidently

The worry fades away, it's most likely not even him and Sandor's just being paranoid.

"but I'm not taking any chances" Sandor speaks. He see me as I'm about to disappear from his vison."oh no" he say's "your staying here"

"I'm only going to my room, calm down" I say

"I don't care." Sandor point for me to come do him. I do as he said's. He orders me to sit "you're not leaving the room until I know it's clear"

I sit in the corner of the room, with my legs pressing against my chest. My tail curled around my feet, and my arms itching my huge ears, as my head leans on the cold wall behind me. Me and Sandor have been In this room together for hours. Sandor stares at his computer for the whole time. I just watch him, I see him open a few news articles and finding out about what Tachyons up to.

After Three hours of sitting on the cold hard floor and silence, Sandor speaks "OK, It's clear, It wasn't tachyon"

A sigh of relief escapes. I stand up "ok, I'm going to bed" I say

But before I walk Out of the room. I hear a ding  come's from Sandor's computer. When you hear a ding that means something just surfaced that involves us. This is the first time I've actually heard it make a notice.

I run back to the computer, and stare in amazement, I turn to Sandor, I have a huge grin on my face, Sandor not so much.

It's and news article, and I only need to read the title to know what this means.
