Alec and Claire were now left alone the being called Sue had left them to consider their options. Alec was the first to speak I’m not happy about this not happy at all, how do we know she’ll do what she says she will do and leave you she may decide not to go back and eke out her existence within you. Don’t Alec this is hard enough as it is I have a feeling that she is what she says she is and the prospects of anyone’s future is obscure to say the least, at least give me time to consider what she has said.
The storm continued to rattle around them and if anything it was getting worse. Alec? Claire finally spoke after a long silence if she changed me in some way would you still love me? That’s one hell of a question Claire, I just don’t know, I don’t want you to change I want you to stay as you are the Claire Telfer I know and no one else, I just don’t know how I would feel, but I suppose if she did change you, the Claire I know would still be in there somewhere and I would still love her. Alec you’re so sweet, they embraced and kissed each other passionately almost as if it would be their last.
Sue called out Claire I’ve come to a decision. Sue appeared before them, and before she could say anything, before I tell you what it is continued Claire you must be honest with me. That is the least I can do Sue replied what is it that you need to know. While you possess me will I appear to be different in any way? You should be no different at all, the only time that will happen is when I need to communicate something to you or Alec so that you will know it is me and how do I know if you will keep your word of leaving me. That is easily answered I cannot survive within you for more than one of your days such are our differences and if I die whilst possessing you then you will perish also and that is something we both do not want. I still don’t feel happy about this Alec finally said, but Claire it is your decision. Then since it’s my decision I agree but how and when do we do this? It should be done as soon as we can but I won’t do this until we are near the dimension slip and the shorter time I am within you the better it will be for all.
You are different to any other creature that I have seen and I have never encountered humans before please take both of my hands, I do not wish to possess you yet but I need to see and feel inside of you so that I can be sure we can be successful. Claire stood and took hold of Sue’s hands and looked into those searchlight eyes. They stood transfixed with each other for what Alec thought an eternity until they broke contact with each other. It is good Sue remarked but you are a little more complex than I thought, you are young and that is in our favour though it may take a little longer than I thought for us to merge as one. Why should it take longer than you think said Claire wondering if there was really something wrong. Your emotions run very high because you are attached to him pointing at Alec, but that is also good and that is something that you should always focus on and remain with you. Sue now turned to Alec I must now look into you, why me? I need both of your trust in this I have to be certain. Sue took Alec by the hands and looked into his eyes, you are different Sue said Sue after releasing Alec, in what way Alec asked, you have an great affection for this one looking at Claire, but you have a greater resolve and that could be useful in time. You are everything that I hoped you would be and I am satisfied that I can trust you both and succeed in the task that awaits us. I must leave you now as the power is now waning but I must see you again when the light has gone and darkness descends and I will inform you of what is to be done. When will that be Claire asked? in your periods of time tomorrow when your star disappear and your satellite comes into view.
