Chapter 9
WILLY FELT PARTLY COLD and partly warm, then he felt something lick his face:
Willy opened his eyes, it was a dog, a puppy no it seemed too big to be a puppy. It was a young dog; There it went again; it was licking his face again.
Willy sat up, he was on a beach. A part of his legs was being washed by the waves. The lower part. That explained why he had felt cold much lower down his feet.
The warm sunlight was pouring down. It felt like it was just morning. And it actually was morning.
He was still fully dressed in the black suit and black shoes. The Enabler was still intact on his left wrist.
He felt his pants pocket, sure enough the culture tube was still there.
He shook his head to clear it. Was it a vision or a dream? It was so real so vivid, the man morphed into a blue female with ruby red eyes and she had way too much canine teeth. He shivered; And it was not from the cold.
The dog wa
Chapter 10 WILLY WOKE UP SWEATING profusely, it was just a dream. A day dream. He must have fallen asleep on the armchair, it was so comfortable, quiet and cool. No wonder without warning sleep had crept in and he had fallen asleep. He stared at the time, it was a wall clock. It was already 2pm, he should go and get a beer or two perhaps, with something to eat. When he entered the bar, he was still thinking about the strange dream he had. What if the Succubus was still reaching out to grab his life away from him? — He was in the bar area now: “Leave me the hell alone you big ugly jerk!” A sudden scream brought Willy's mind back into the bar— It was the girl, the girl at the beach, who's dog was Rudolf. A laughing, bald muscular guy, wearing a sleeveless shirt with tattoos and a raspy voice had grabbed her the second time and forced her to sit on his lap the second time. This time she stood up,
Chapter 11AFTER the breakfast:Willy was back in the privacy of his own room, he had convinced Lillian not to accompany him, but to stay back; It was probably going to be too dangerous, but the main reason why he did not want Lillian to go with him was because he did not want Lillian to find out who he really was, at least not now; Besides, she would only get in the way.‘Andy?’ Willy enquired by thought. In response a tiny horizontal round portal appeared, the size of the mouth of a cup.Willy dropped the single strand of Lillian’s hair into it and it disappeared, now he would wait. He would wait for Andy to Analyse the DNA contained within Lillian's hair, to trace and locate the next person with a closely resembling DNA signature– and that would be Eureka.Willy had also asked Andy to keep a close tab on Lillian when he was gone.
Chapter 12LILLIAN HAD CHECKED the time, it was now 11 am, probably the man Willy had already departed to go look for her sister. Why did he not want her to go with him? He always referred to her as– ‘kid’;“Hell– I'm already 17,” Lillian muttered to herself. Rudolf jumped down the bed and wagged his tail:“Rudolf– What do you think we should do after lunch? Should we go on a stroll on the beach?” Rudolf waged his tail again and gave a bored yawn.She laughed softly and went over and began tickling Rudolf’s white spotted tummy, Rudolf rolled over on his back and waged his front paws in the air, then he pretended to attack her hands with soft playful nips.“Oh— my baby, mummy's baby,” Lillian said hugging Rudolf and pressing the side of her face against Rudolf’s face, Rudolf started licking the side of her face and he now reached
Chapter 13AFTER THE MEAL they were back in Willy’s room. The clock on the wall now read, 7:50pm:“It’s vital that you’re in the energy stasis pod as early as possible, so that Andy will analyse your vitals and integrate and adjust the shielding protocols,” Willy said talking like a veteran.Wendy just stood there and said, “Ok, now what?”“I want you to stand as rigid as possible,” Willy said adjusting her, putting her hands to her sides, making her stand upright in a military ‘stand at attention’ position, with head held upright, chin held high.Lillian sat on one of the two armchairs and was watching the proceedings with a curious interest. Rudolf was tugging at the bed cover with his mouth, almost striping the bed bare now. Lillian paused in her concentration just enough to scold Rudolf, who stopped tugging the bed cover and he had the doggie
Chapter 14EUREKA FOUND HERSELF standing on a sea of smooth glass, it was transparent, she could see stars and galaxies beneath it, looking up– she realized that what she saw below was the reflection of what’s above.‘Am I dead? Is this heaven?’ She thought frantically.‘No, you are not dead Eureka, and this is not heaven; You’re in the Astral plane,’ A voice spoke.“The Astral plane? Who are you?” She asked.‘My name is Andy,’ came the answer.“You’re the AI, the Artificially Intelligent Operating System,” Eureka said smiling.‘Correct,’ Andy responded.Eureka cupped her hands and placed them on her cheeks, not out of cold but out of habit. Than she did a double take at her hands and she screamed!
Chapter 15WILLY MUST HAVE dozed off, the cold woke him up. He had slept while sitting, waiting for Eureka to return.Lillian was sitting in a curled up, as comfortable as much as possible position on that other armchair, breathing softly in a soundless sleep.“Kid—kid,” Willy said shaking her awake.She woke up reluctantly, her eyes were red, much deprived of sleep.“Go to your room and get some good sleep, we’ve been up all night,” Willy said to her.She looked at the direction that the empty floating transparent energy tube had been previously, but it had disappeared!“Is she back?” she asked staring at Willy,“No, not yet. But please go to your room and get some sleep,” Willy said to her.She nodded and stood up stretching herself, “Come on Rudolf, let’s go.”Her voice was slightly raspy from deprived slee
Chapter 16WHAT LAY BENEATH the pink clouds made Eureka gasp in surprise:“The Rainbow forest land!” exclaimed Orea.It was miles and miles of colourful glittering trees of multi-coloured leaves of rainbow colours.“From a distance it gives off those rainbow hues but if we get closer you will realize that most of the trees are purple or green in colour,” Orea explained grasping on the reigns of her flying unicorn.“What are those?” Eureka said pointing down. “Are they tree houses? Those trees must be huge!”“Yes that’s a village belonging to the Succubinos, you’re right the trees in our world are huge, the tallest can stand 200 meters or even more higher than that, from its base to the tip,” Orea said.They reached a much more impressive looking Succubino village: it had sky bridges connecting each tree houses from
Chapter 17LILLIAN WOKE UP SLOWLY, she had a sour feeling in her mouth, she realized that due to the recent irregular sleeping pattern that she was having, she hadn’t brushed her teeth the whole of yesterday.Rudolf laid on the floor resting his head on his front paws, he raised his head and his tail thumped the floor softly, when Lillian walked past him to the bathroom.Lillian brushed her teeth and had a shower. She took off what she had been wearing for the past two days now and wore some fresh clothes, she wore a white clean sweater and her long shredded denim jeans pants.For her feet she wore a pair of common converse shoes.She had just finished brushing and tying her blond hair into a neat ponytail behind her head with a black hair tie, when the knock sounded on her door,It was a topic of paranoia, the gut feeling that one day she would open the door and see a complete stranger standing there with G
