TRANSCENDED

Chapter 3: GAME PLAN

"Don't worry, they are safe here with us. We wont hurt them."

"We wont hurt them..."

"We. Wont. Hurt. Them."

When I awakened I was still in bed. "Was I dreaming?" I think.

I look at the bedside alarm clock which read 6:48am. I know I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep so I went to kitchen to try and find something to eat. I found an apple and decided to settle on that.

I began thinking out loud and talking to myself.

"We wont hurt them" I repeat. Were they speaking to me through my dreams? I've always been one to follow and trust in my intuition and I believe that my family is safe wherever they are. They're probably looking down at me. "We wont hurt them" I repeat once more..

I replay in my head again Sylus telling me that the Gods are most likely not the ones that would hurt them. Maybe my mom is hanging out having coffee with Isis. Maybe my brothers are up there playing some supersonic video games with Horus. If that is the case what is my sister's and I purpose here on earth? I had so many theories and so many unanswered questions. What was I to do?

My sister walked across the corner and a blanket of relief washed over me, atleast she was still here with me.

"How'd you sleep?" I asks genuinely curious.

"They spoke to me in my dreams.." she starts. "They are safe." She finishes.

My heart almost jumped out of my chest when she spoke those words.

"Who spoke to you Kayla?" was all I could manage.

"The Gods..they told me that their safe and I honestly believe it."

"They told me the same thing..." I say.

"As well as me.." I look up and see Sylus coming across the corner with this dreadlocks now tied back in a very neat ponytail.

Hearing this from the both of them gave me so much reassurance on the wellbeing of my family.

"We've got to come up with a game plan, pop a squat." I assert.

"Why would they take the three of them and leave us? Is there something here that we have to do before we're able to go as well?"

"Will they be coming back here with us?"

"How long do we have?"

These are some of the questions that were running through all of our minds.

"Maybe we need to backtrack to find some clues." Sylus suggests. "You girls said when you came outside to join them in the car they were already gone correct?"

"Yes." we nod in unison.

"Maybe we should start there then?" he asks but it's more like a statement.

We all get up and head for the door to check the car for any possible clues that we may have looked over.

"Kayla check the trunk, Kia check the backseats where the boys were and I'll check the front." We all nod our heads and do as so.

My eyes widen when I see my mom's necklace. It's the finishing puzzle piece to the one I've worn every single day since my fifth birthday. Next to it was a note with my moms very much so distinct handwriting...

Girls,

Soon you'll understand..

Do whatever you have to do

and always trust yourself.

I love you both, see you soon.

MOM

I tried to stop the frog that was beginning to form in my throat. I turn around and give my sister a reassuring nod. "We've got this."

"Always trust yourself" I replay in my mind.

"We need to meditate, clear our minds, and listen to our conscious." I say.

"That sounds like the perfect idea, especially with all of this beautiful mother nature around us."

Sylus responds. We all take a moment to step back and witness the beautiful life that was surrounding us. We were surrounded my uniquely aged trees, pillow shaped clouds, a golden and warm sun, and a whispering breeze.

I bend my knees to sit indian style in the exact spot that I once stood. My best friend and my sister did the same. We all closed our eyes in unison and transcended.
