Who did this Xanthia think she was ?
I was not one to be controlled but on this occasion I couldn’t call on the strength and experience of previous hosts….this was all beyond me.
The future?
Could it really be all that different and what of us witches?
I was passing through a long and winding tunnel of light….I know for a fact that I had not died….I was not human.
The tunnel got smaller and smaller and soon I was kneeling down….the walls were closing in….I was being crushed….I lost consciousness.
*
Opening my eyes I soon discovered that I was perfectly fine….I was sitting in a leather armchair…..a bright light was shining in my eyes….I could see a figure approaching me.
A name in my mind…..a memory?
“Who are you?”
“Didn’t Xanthia tell you……I am Marissa…..I rule this place”
“Marissa……that name is familiar to me”
“Of course it is…..we have known each other throughout history….and we will know each other in the future”
I tried to piece this information together and then a stray memory crossed my visual cortex.
“The Queen of Denmark”
She smiled.
“At last…..you remember…..but what you probably wont remember is that we became lovers”
“Lovers?”
“Yes…..when our men went off to fight…..we grew attracted to each other….we shared everything…..in the end I shared your bed….we shared bodily fluids”.
“I have no memory….sorry Marissa”
“I know….being taken out of time….a side effect”
“So…..as I don’t know….were we lovers for long?”
“A matter of weeks….then the war with wellington recommenced and we separated back to our lives…..but you vanished”
“I guess you must have found out who I was?”
“Actually I knew before we became lovers…..but it wasn’t my business”
“And what of this future…..do my kind exist?”
“That depends”
“On what?”
“You must go through to the other universe….confront yourself….defeat her…..then your future is secured”
“And that’s it?”
“Yes…..thats it……the timelines will separate and run on their own courses”
“And what of my enemies in this universe…..must they be free and come back too?”
Marissa crossed to a viewing panel…..I joined her and looked at it.
I could see Danielle, Gemma, Aster, Christina.
“What are you showing me this for?”
“In her universe….Danielle and Gemma are your two most important guardians….of the black light”
“Yes?”
“In this universe they are following equal paths….therefore they don’t need to be brought through”
“And what of Christina and Aster?”
“In this universe you sent them away to live a new life…..but in the other universe they sacrificed their lives to eternal exile”
“Exile…..why would they do that?”
Marissa turned to look at me and shook her head.
“In the universe of Therese…..Michelle Delaney is evil….more so than yourself…..she wanted no bargaining chips….she didn’t want to give them any chances…..there lives were forfeit when Therese disappeared…..to avoid such a life they gave up their existence”
“Can they not be revived?”
“Can they Michelle?”
I thought about my friends who had been wounded during the last battle….too severe to be saved….
“At least here you are keeping an eye on them….albeit in a rather perverted manner….but you must take Christina and Aster back through the breach….they are important to the restoration of the timeline”.
“And once my mission is done….then what?”
“Once Therese defeats the alternative you then there will be a colossal explosion…..everyone will wake up with no memory….you will return to this universe and the timeline will be restored”
“Ok….I will do it”
Marissa was hunched against the console…..looking at me.
“Whats on your mind?”
“Im going to tell you something about the future”
“You can do that……wont it pollute?”
“Not this”
“What that then?”
“Bodily interaction, otherwise known as Sexual Intercourse was banned in 2307”
“You cant have sex…..what do you do for fun?”
“We read books….play chess…..watch reality television….take long walks”
“Sounds like your missing out”
“I am…….Xanthia went on a fact finding mission….as part of the experiment she had sex with Therese”
“She did?”
“Yes”
“The bitch…..so she did cheat on Gemma”
“Anyway…..I know its been a long time…..almost 1500 years since we last met”
“You want to have sex with me?”
“Yes Michelle I do…..Xanthia has awaken new feelings in me….your legs are long…..I feel your body heat…..those tits…I want to smother them with my face”
“Well Marissa…..why not…..lets make this one for the history books”
