Chronicles of an Amnesiac | √

11, Day Ten II

I knew what I had to do.

I stood up from the ground and slid the necklace over my head.

Determinedly, I went over to the window and ripped down the blinds that had somehow been fixed closed since I'd been here. Then I pulled opened the glass windows.

The rays from the sun hit me directly in the face. I closed my eyes and breathed it in deep, wanting to take it all in; through my lungs, through my skin.

Suddenly it came. That light-headed feeling, as I felt my soul zap up to the sky, although I could feel my body  resting on the window sill.

Holding tight onto the sill I parted my mouth open the slightest bit and slowly reached for it deep inside of my soul. Softly, I connected with it and started the journey to my mouth.

It started out as a low piercing sound as it spread far out of my mouth into the atmosphere. I could see as well as feel the light violet energy waves as they rippled out far into the space.

It continued to flow out of me, seeking and seeking to reach them.

I didn't give up, I knew it'd reach them anytime soon and come bouncing back to me. I knew they must be nearby, searching for me too. It was my piya and his assistant I had felt that day.

I kept making the sound waves flow out and I found myself slightly feeling panicked when I still didn't receive any response but I quickly shook it off. I had to be strong to keep the connection strong! How I wished I was as strong as my brothers — they could do it stronger using the barest amount of energy.

Yes, it came in everybody on our planet, it was just stronger in the Koye and strongest in the Koe.

Without warning, my energy waves hit me back in the face. I almost reeled back but stood my ground, memorizing the image it had formed back.

A travelling pod. One of ours. The connection was still there and I could vividly feel the aura of the people inside as it rapidly formed images.

Piya! He was knelt at the glass side with his face set and I knew he was reaching out to me. Then Teisan's face came looming over Piya's body, followed by Scakuus' I could feel the others too but their images weren't coming clear.

The first wave came gently at me, lapping over my skin.

<We are coming for you, Thirada. We are,> Piya's voice said.

<Piya!> I gasped. <Piya, you have to come quickly! These people are—>

<In a few, my dear, in a few. Do stay calm>

<Why are you locked up high in that place? I can't feel around it except through the glass> Teisan growled.

<Sound proof. Teisan!> I cried.

<Do not cry,> Scakuus and Piya said together.

<We are almost . . .>

'Hey, what the fuck are you doing there?!' someone screamed and pulled me back, roughly, severing the connection.

I cried out at the loss.

'I knew I was hearing a strange sound. Fuck! Who the fuck left the fuckin' windows open?' It was the-man-with-huge-glass-eyes.

The-man-with-glass-eyes came forward skeptically. 'This is not the way to handle it, boss. Let's . . . Tatiana, dear, what—?'

I'd now recovered from the shock of the loss. I angrily shrugged out of the man's hands and glared at the other man.
