The girl’s eyes were like two searchlights highlighting Alec and Claire in the darkness. Don’t be alarmed said the little girl I am not here to hurt or frighten you for I need you to help me. Claire was almost standing behind Alec at this stage she was shaking with fear you’re not doing a very good job on the first count said Alec you are scaring the hell out of us both. I do not mean to frighten you and will not harm either of you I promise, but this is an ideal time for me to talk to you there is so much power in the sky that I can draw from to maintain this form. Please sit down and I will tell you who I am and what I need. Alec and Claire sat on the sofa Claire still clinging to Alec extremely tightly.
Although I have told you my name is Sue for that is easier for you to understand my real name is Androniasuebismet I am not from your world or what you would call your universe but I am from what you would call a different dimension and I am here by mistake. By mistake queried Alec what happened? I do not suppose that you will understand and I will try to explain as simply as I can. I am part of a race of what you may call spiritual or forms of pure energy and have the ability to travel through the different dimensions by folding time and space and have the ability to materialise in any shape or form we desire. We like you have troubles in our existence like you have in your world but only so much worse. You mean like war and terrorism asked Claire now loosening her grip on Alec a little yes but only so much worse. I am only one of twelve of our race left in existence and we are the designated Keepers of all life forms, without us nothing would exist in any dimension. We exist in a gathering and when we are all connected all of the dimensions remain intact and it takes a minimum of ten of us to maintain the equilibrium. What happened to you, Claire’s interest was now being sparked into action. Three of us were sent to different dimensions to repair fissures that were occurring enabling other beings to be released causing chaos in other dimensions, our task along with repairing those fissures were to return those beings to their rightful place. This I had accomplished and I was about to return to the gathering with my three companions when a great tear in a different dimension erupted and I was flung here and I do not know what has become of my other companions. This tear must be repaired and it will take four of us to repair it for us all to co-exist in harmony.
If it takes ten of you to maintain the equilibrium and three of you were sent elsewhere then you would be weak, yes Sue replied, and if another four were to journey to repair the rift in this other dimension you would be weaker still, this is all beyond us Alec continued yet you say you need our help we are nothing just flesh and blood surely there’s nothing that we can do? You may be organic in nature but you can take me to where I need to be but what I will ask of you is something that neither of will like.
There is a place, a dimension slip, it is small but I can sense it and not too far from here where there is a chance that I can return to the gathering, but I need you to transport me there and the only way that you can do this is to possess the one you call Claire during the daylight hours. No way! said Alec, we’ve no way of trusting you. She will not come to any immediate harm, immediate harm? Claire responded you mean you could still hurt me. There will be no hurt as you would call it, but the longer that I confined within you then part of me will be left there. What you have to consider is if I do not return then the gathering would continue to weaken and the chaos that would follow would destroy life in every dimension. That’s one hell of a choice and it’s a choice that I’m not happy with at all said Alec, that decision would have to be yours Claire and yours alone was Sue’s response. I’m not really sure if I could deal with such a thing, Claire was looking at both of them now I need time to think. You don’t have that much time to spare unfortunately the decision must be made tonight if we are to stand a chance of repairing the damage and reinstating the equilibrium that has been enjoyed for millions of your years. You both need time to consider what I have said, but do not take too long as the longer you take the more difficult it becomes I shall leave you now but I will return before the storm ends for your decision.
