Alpha Centaurus : Ascendent

Chapter 9 - Isolation

A week had passed since the last time they saw Monica and they thought they won't see her for a while . Nothing significant happened during that period , nothing good nothing bad just a fine line and it wasn't pleasant energy . The morning was warm and sunny so Ella decided to take a walk to the college unit when right at the door Theo and Marcel joined her . She couldn't escape neither one of them , especially not to both of them . They were behind her so she could hear them talking trying to be quite as possible .

Theo would be : „Oh look at that , you going to college ?!"

Marcel would respond : „In between being handsome and irresistible , I found some time to educate !"

„They will survive without your talents !"

„Yes, but the girls won't . I would send my replacement ,but ... I can't find one !"

Ella was bored to death listening two of them and their testosterone going wild and dominant , so she started to run which was a challenge for them since she was really fast .

When they got to the building where their classes should be held , they saw Monica sitting alone and eating breakfast . Manuel joined them :

„It's good that Alin took a day off !"

They tried not to look at her and to continue with normal activities . After six hours of classes and three of it with Monica , day passed calmly and in peace . They did share intense and deep looks with one another which made the whole room filled with hard and bothering energy and it would be gone in a minute . Lucian was also there but he had other business and other classes trying to lead every group and to be a part of every activity so he didn't see Monica or anyone from the group . After the last class , Holland came to see Lucian which was a surprise especially since him came to school to look for him . He was confused but agreed to talk to him anyway. Holland was calm and satisfied which mad Lucian even more confused and he couldn't understand what is so important to come here and being so happy and pleasant . Holland gave him a little box with a bow on it as a present for their business deal they had made and as a help to a business partner . Lucian was touched by this gesture and at the same time worried what can happen as he felt that somethings is coming . In the box , there was a dried herb that he didn't know which is it until Holland told him the name and the purpose . Apparently , it was an Echinacea purpurea ,very powerful and extremely healing herb that they didn't see ever in their life but heard for it as it wasn't easy to find it . The thing is , a true purpurea was very rare and the difference was in a color of it's laps which are not pink or purple but a specific shade in between .

„When the time comes use it . It's enough for one person !"

„When the time comes for what ?!"

„For what you have been waiting for so long ! You will know!"

That was the last thing he said to him and left Lucian alone to join Monica who was waiting for him . Lucian was tempted to say something to both of them but for some reason he pulled back and said nothing . It did start and it is what he wanted , but now that is happening it was scary and hard for him to catch on . He had to,he came so far and did so much to be there so he had to move on with the plan and situation .

As Monica and Holland were leaving the college property , every student near them started to cough very badly and they didn't stop until two of then left . Ella felt very upset and nervous, she felt disturbing energy very dark and heavy and she was scared almost on the edge of tears like something bad is going to happen . She tried to hide it but Theo noticed her look and tears in her eyes . He gave her a hug and tried to consult her :

„They left . It is fine now !"

Marcel came form nowhere and shoot straight forward :

„Have you felt that ? That energy is ...."
