Admiral Baylanche's eminent weapon powered all the way up and began to extract her soul; sucking it out like a liquid into a syringe and with Molly just floating there screaming and crying on. She had her arms stretched out and her hair was waving about.
Her soul started to leave her; white but glittery just as Vera said, like small little diamonds sparkling in the sun.
It felt just like when the chasens would suck her soul out but this was different. This was more. Before she felt like even though the chasens sucked her soul out there was some of it that remained but this time that wasn't the case, she felt like all of it was being pulled out together with her internal organs. Like someone had stuck a huge straw down her throat and began sucking out all of her insides with it. Molly thought she knew pain but that was her greatest pain thus far. A pain that spread across her entire body. She felt like she was being stabbed repeatedly by massive knives all over her bo
Going back to that fateful day after the chasen lifted Molly and disappeared behind its portal with her, a moment later Rodrick woke up; gasping like he had been deprived of air for minutes which he had because he was dead. The chasen he was fighting had beaten him dead but when Molly held him in her arms and her hands started glowing she healed him and he came back to life. He still had blood all over him but the bruises, cuts and internal injuries had been healed. He sat up and quickly got into looking around for Molly but there was no sign of her. There was no sign of anything. The chasens, both dead and alive, were gone and all the portals that had been opened there were closed. The only thing out there with him was the back pack with the bomb and detonator in it a few meters away from where he was, and seeing it his heart dropped. If the bomb was still here it meant it wasn't with Molly and if it wasn't with Molly then there was no way she could set it off and blow up the chasen'
Jazz music playing and an elegantly dressed crowd mingling and swaying on the dance floor, the dinner party was on. Upper class whose who’s came out to celebrate the birthday of one of the neighborhood’s elite, Mr. Darlton; his wealth enough to buy a small country and a house that should have its own zip code. Among the invited was Molly Gray wearing a flowing red dress, a thirty-five year old medium toned black woman; a lawyer and fiancée to Richard Samson, a forty year old Surgeon and a coveted member of the doctor’s association. They had been engaged two years and were looking to tie the knot at the end of the year. Swaying on the dance floor, the two held each other close and looked into each other’s eyes like they were the only ones in the room.Nearing 10 O’clock Molly and Richard left the party and Richard drove Molly home. He pulled up in the front and parked, leaving the engine running.“Are you sure you don’t w
Molly sprung awake screaming like she was having a nightmare. She was in an office and when she stood up to look around at where she was, one of her co-workers burst in, with other looking on in the background wondering what was going on with her."Miss Anderson are you alright?" she asked as Molly just stood there breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath. "Miss Anderson?""Where am I?" Molly asked."You're at work.""Where?""At Millings Properties," she answered."Who am I?""What?""What's my name who am I?" Molly asked."You're Miss Anderson.""Molly?""Yes Molly Anderson," she said."Oh my gosh." She held her head like she was about to pass out. "Oh my gosh . . . I died again.""What?""I died again . . . The thing that got me before . . . It got me again," Molly said."I'm sorry Miss Anderson but I have no idea what you're talking about.""I have to go. Can I bo
The end of the day came and Det. Brighton showed up at his apartment. Molly let him in and he made sure to lock the door behind him."Are you o.k.?" he asked."Yeah I'm fine," she responded."I brought us some takeout.""I'm still not hungry.""You have to eat something," Det. Brighton said."I don't have any appetite.""Did you at least eat something before?""Just a few cups of coffee," Molly answered."You haven't had anything to eat all day?""No.""You need to eat something," he said."I'm not hungry. There is far much more on my mind to think about than food.""You still need to eat something. Come on sit, I'll serve you a plate.""Detective.""Not much just a little something for you to nibble on.""O.k.," she said and they sat down on the long couch as Det. Brighton took his coat off and threw it to the single couch and got into dishing out the Chinese food he had
Molly walked into the apartment building, still with the blank look on her face, taken aback by what that woman who came out of nowhere told her. Her life being in grave danger and that the thing that was after her would always catch her, why would she say such things to her? How would she even? The words she said were hugely related to what she was going through but how would she know that? Because her life was in grave danger and something was after her, it was the strange thing she had been going through for the past few days but how could she possibly know about it? Unprovocked the woman just walked up to her and said those things to her and she was genuinely shaken over the words that were coming out of her mouth, why? What did she know about what Molly was going through that she didn't."Good morning Miss Anderson," the man behind the desk greeted. His name was Billy and he was around his mid-thirties."Huh?" Molly said and turned to him; coming back down from th
Molly went to check the door in the back alley to see if maybe there was someone there but there wasn't. All there was were two large overflowing bins with a stray cat rummaging through one of them. She walked to the back door and tried to open it but it was locked too. "Ugh come on," Molly shouted. She was just about to make her way back to the front when just then a portal opened out of nowhere behind her. It opened as quiet as the air and so she didn't hear it but she did sense it; the same feeling that came over her before when it showed up coming over her again, cold like ice down her back. Molly froze as all the hairs on her skin stood up, there was only one time she felt that way and that was when the thing was near her and about to suck her life out of her so she knew immediately that she was in trouble. She looked back and out of the dark portal walked out the Chasen. It was the first time she was seeing it face to face and she wished
At the same time, Det. Brighton was at his apartment sitting down on the couch with a bottle of beer in his hand, his head low and with his leg shaking, with the TV on and tuned in on the news but with his mind still caught up on what happened earlier in the day with Molly. He had promised to take care of her and now she was gone.Just then a knock came to the door and he sat up, sharply turning his head towards it."Molly?" he whispered to himself as his face lit up and then put his beer on the table to go and answer the door.He swung it open quick eager to see Molly but seeing who was there the light in his face immediately dimmed down, not all the way but a good bit. It wasn't Molly. It was someone else and whoever it was made Det. Brighton's heart skip a little bit."Sharon?" he said."Hello Eric," she said and they just stood there looking at each other for a moment. She was a forty year old brunette with a boyish cut."What are you do
The police station was its usual busy and Det. Brighton was sitting by his desk; trying to work but with his mind constantly wandering off thinking about Molly. His heart was aching at how he let her down and he was lost in thought as to where she was, if she was o.k. and if she was even alive. He couldn't focus; he kept on thinking of how vulnerable like a child she was when she was crying scared to death in his arms and how she calmed her with them. She calmed down because she believed in him and in what he said and he totally let her down.Yes he told her not to go anywhere and she left anyway but he still felt responsible for her death. He kept on thinking about what more he could have done to keep her safe. Maybe he should have taken a few days off to just stay with her or he should have assigned one of the officers to watch her. Whatever it was he could have done it was too late for it now, Molly had been killed and he had no idea where she was."Eric?" someone w

Admiral Baylanche's eminent weapon powered all the way up and began to extract her soul; sucking it out like a liquid into a syringe and with Molly just floating there screaming and crying on. She had her arms stretched out and her hair was waving about. Her soul started to leave her; white but glittery just as Vera said, like small little diamonds sparkling in the sun.

After the fight, a battered, bruised and unconscious Molly was carried on a floating glass bed to her room with the female chasen guiding it. The elevator doors opened and out the chasen guided the bed to Molly's room where they entered it and the glass bed floated above the actual bed and tilted itself to lay her gently on it. The chasen then tapped on the screen of her arm panel and the glass bed floated out of the room as she then tapped once more on the screen and the lights on the bracelets on Molly's wrists elevated her arms off the bed and changed colour from green to white and almost immediately her hands started glowing; exactly like they did back on earth when there was a chasen around. The bracelets were deactivated so that she could access her power to begin healing herself otherwise she was going to die and the marked soul was going to leave her body and disappear from Admiral Baylanche's grasp once again. The chasen stood guard and wasn'
Molly was on the verge of dropping to the floor and dying. Her soul was darkened; like the ocean deep where no light ever went. She had such beautiful memories of her family and in mere seconds those memories were wiped out and reduced to nothing like their existence was useless. It obviously was useless to the admiral but to them it wasn't; to them those memories and the way they lived was what made their lives as precious as they were. They didn't have everything; actually they had more to nothing than they did everything and they wouldn't have it any other way. What they had was more than enough. Yes they didn't have proper infrastructure, they knew nothing of science other than making fire, farming, making simple tools, building and fishing and they didn't even have proper clothes, they wore animal skins that they cut up to cover their private parts. It was a very simple life but they had love and they had peace and those were one of the two most priceless things a being
Molly was back in her room; sitting by the window and crying to herself. It was over. Everything they had worked so hard for was over. The plan had failed and now mankind was going to perish.No wonder the chasens were so evil, with a madly driven leader like Admiral Baylanche who wouldn't be. Because of what she had been through she had programmed them to be lethal killing machines whose main job was to take life with no questions asked. And to think it all started from her wanting to be the head her planet's science bureau, the admiral had surely come a long way.She sought revenge on the ones that did her wrong and that wasn't enough. She had proved that she was far smater than the lot of them combined but still that wasn't enough, she wanted more and with the vision she had, she was going to stop at nothing to get it.It was dark and it was frightening and knowing that there was nothing she could do about it was even more frightening. They were right to say
A moment later, Molly was walking through the hallway of the building she was in with the female chasen leading the way. It was all white with the same white ring lights on the ceiling but in a single line down the middle and about a meter apart. Also here were small box tables with strange silver flowers on them and round translucent glass doors leading to other rooms that had whatever in them. Molly and the chasen reached the end of the hallway where a glass elevator was and when it walked up to the security panel on the side of it, it opened and a blue light scanned its face and access granted the elevator doors then slid open. "After you Molly Moon," the chasen said and Molly walked in and she walked in after her. The elevator doors then slid closed and it started descending as Molly turned around to look more at the view of the moons and the dark ocean. Below was more of the concrete yard that had more chasens standing on it; a sight that
A portal opened and out of it walked the chasen. It was back to finish Molly off. She saw it and she thought it would come straight for her but the first thing it headed for were its fallen chasens. It reached the first one and threw it through its portal and it closed behind it. It then did the same to all the chasens and all the portals but one closed. The chasen then turned to look at her and started walking up to her. Molly was on the ground on all fours; she was still crawling and pulling the back pack with the bomb and detonator inside it behind her but had stopped for a breather, struggling to breathe whilst coughing out even more blood. Not only was she bleeding from her mouth and nose but from her wounds as well, losing more and more blood and strength quick. So drained that when the chasen showed up her hands glowed but with a very dim light; her body didn't have the power to light them up to the capacity they were at before. It walked up to her, kicked the back pack away
Molly, Det. Brighton and Rodrick were out in the desert waiting on for the chasen to show up; with her tapping into more of the fear she had for it so that it could sniff her out and show up. "This is going to work right?" Det. Brighton asked. "Yeah," Rodrick answered. "It has to." "And she's going to come back right?" "Absolutely. The plan is going to work and everything is going to be o.k." "O.k." An hour later the sun started to rise in the horizon and out of nowhere from just laying there still with her eyes closed, they popped open and Molly quickly sat up. "She's up, something's happening," Det. Brighton said as Molly then stood up. "Oh man, something is definitely up." They got themselves more into position as Molly then took a few steps back; looking all around her like she was waiting for something to happen. Just then her hands starting glowing and they all immediately knew what it meant. "Dammit, her
A new day came and it was time to head out. They packed everything they needed into the back and just like that they were off; Molly, Det. Brighton and Rodrick, leaving Vera behind who they all hugged before they left. Especially Molly who she held onto for a good minute. "You are so brave my love, what you are doing, it is beyond what anyone should ever do. Such sacrifices are too big for one person to make. It's not fair," Vera said. "It's o.k. Vera. Everything's going to be o.k.," Molly said; holding on to her too as tears came to both their eyes; taken so much by the warmth that came from being in each other's arms they didn't want to let go. That could be the last time they were ever going to do so. That could be the last time they ever saw each other and so they had to make that moment last for as long as they could. It was Vera that brought the truth to light. If it wasn't for her Molly wouldn't have known what she really was, what was going on with he
