I'm confident in my mom. I'm confident in Grandma B.'s lessons. The one thing I'm not as confident in, is having all the girls from Red Earth within fingers reach of everything I love. Seeing all of them; in their true form, literally walk out of my mom; would have blown anybody else's mind, but my mom is a special kind of person. She has never hidden what she could do, or who she was. I did hear a gasp or two from someone behind me, but 4 people walked out of my mom's body. Not only that, they are also standing right in front of us. Arms stretched out, like ours are, and I'm pretty sure the bubble got stronger, if the buzz in the air is anything to go by. Did mom let them loose here? With their powers? She must of, because when I slowly open my eyes again, I see that our once transparent bubble is now almost a green color. You can see the electricity in it also. They are helping us. What in the world is going on? I concentrate on the bubble with a newfound confidence. I crack my eyes open once again, and I see more people walking out of my mother. Hey wait. All these people look like mom, just with different hair styles, different clothing, and different stances and facial expressions. Wait 6, I count 6. They finish the circle around my mom inside the bubble, with the Red Earth girls, with arms stretched out. My mom has 7 personalities. She must have one, to do what she must do. So, thetrue mom is the one she is now. Mom is in the Grand Hallway, I know that. It's just that she is alone in there now. All my life, she has had her personalities, and the Red Earth people to help her; now they are here helping us, with the bubble. What is she going to unchain, that she needs this much fire power to protect us from her? I Love You MOM. I push the worry from my head and refocus on the bubble.
With that thought, V refocuses on the strength on the bubble.
Robby thought to himself for a brief moment, while his arms are out focusing on the bubble. My heart, please feel my love, I fucking Love You, and know that, I am here with you. She is alone, but I know my wife. She is stronger than anyone I know; she will come back to me. This is the most terrifying thing; I have ever witnessed. All I can do is make sure this bubble is strong for her, and our babies. I've never seen the Red Earth people before, in their own form. I've never seen the differences in her personalities, before having them lined up before me. I hope my wife is ok. She would say I'm fine, this I know, or I'll figure it out, her catch phrase. This just makes me feel so small, because I can't help her, where she is. If They are here, helping us strengthen the bubble. What is she going to unchain? What is that dangerous, that even V, and the kids, are not powerful enough to keep in the bubble? With a cleansing breath Robby pushed them thoughts a side, and refocused.
At that moment the bubble started vibrating. The personalities said at once, "I am here."Walking through the door felt weird. It was heavy, but light. I went up, but at the same time went down. It felt like forever, but no time at all. My mind was trying to figure out direction, but it was impossible. I couldn't see with my eyes; but my mind could see. I get now why I had to be empty, because more than one thought process would have got me lost here, in the abyss of confusion. Be myself, is all I could think of; it was the only thing that was left. I started walking, not that I could really tell I was going anywhere. I couldn't even tell if I was upside down, or right side up. I still just kept walking because I felt that was what I was supposed to do. My Grandma B. sure did bury whatever this is really deep, it was here all along though.
Wait, do I see light? In pure darkness, a pin prick of light seemed like a lighthouse signaling me into dock. I made my feet move faster and faster, but it didn't fucking matter, It still only moved closer in the speed of when I was walking. Was there a hall monitor, no running in the halls, or something, I giggled to myself. I slowed back to walking, and then the light moved quickly towards me, a little too quickly for my liking. A brief second a thought of turning around and running away from it crossed my mind. What the hell? Then I hear my daughter, V say, I Love You MOM. Like she is right in front of me. Then my husband, my love. As if he was standing right beside me, says, I fucking Love You, I am right here with you. One by one everyone in the living room, with my body, my personalities, and the Red Earth People, that I love says, their form of, I love you. My courage came back fast. I was renewed. I can face anything for them, my heart. I cleared my mind, and with everything in me, I charged forward. My doubt evaporated; My worry ceased to be. I enter the light with the purest heart I could ever have. One thing on my mind; was theonly thing that could be on my mind, my family. It takes a few to let my eyes adjust to the light. When they do; I see many chains, going every which direction they could go. I can see the walls made of the most powerful, psychic energy I have ever seen, or felt. The door was open, and I just walked in not realizing the light is a room. The buzz of it would be harmful to me, if the oom was made to keep me in. For the life of me though, I can not see into the middle of the room, like it is mirrored, but no reflection of me is looking back. I slowly walk towards the middle of the room still not seeing anything. All the chains are leading here, but what if here never comes. Then, there she was, my grandma B.; With a smile on her face, but she was worried. "Grandma? Why are you here? What am I supposed to do? Feeling really good that she was here.
She only said to me. "My dear girl, you have to do this with out me. You have made it this far and now; all you have to do is have faith and jump. Be the self this world was not ready for. Be the self I shielded you from. You have forgot more than Earth can learn in a billion years. Have faith in my love for you, and that I would not steer you wrong. Everything will be clear after you jump. Then she disappeared as fast as she appeared.
I cried out to the empty spot where she used to stand. A hole open in front of me. I looked down into it and it was just black. Grandma said have faith and jump, But I have this gnawing feeling that's just wrong. I have never questioned my Grandma B. ever before. I don't think I can do this. Everyone says be yourself, and all the things she said, but not the jump in the crazy dark hole, see ya, bye. sounds like Grandma. But my body as empty as it is, is saying, no don't fucking do it, you idiot. And that's me being myfucking self. So, I screamed out in defiance, fuck you! You go jump in the fucking big hole, asshole. You are most definitely not my Grandma. So, who the Fuck are you?
The hole in the floor just disappeared. I hear this voice, that is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I faintly remember the voice, like it was from a dream I've had, not a person I know. I can't understand what It's saying. I move forward carefully to miss the spot where fake grandma, and the hole was open. I walk through some sort a veil that prevented me from seeing the other side.
Again, the voice spoke, but I could understand this time. It said, "Welcome, young Mrs. Lambert, It is very good to finally meet you. Your Grandmother is a very gifted individual, to hold us; We hold no grudges. You have passed my cell mates little ruse to take your body for himself. Which by the way, I told him you would not be tricked. You are a very spunky girl now, are you not? Strong also, or you would not have made it here. This whole dimension was to keep us here unless you came for us. You passed traps, and mazes, and things that would give your nightmares, nightmares. You passed them all, with not even a blink of an ey
When she stopped talking, I ask, whom ever was talking to me to step forward, so I could see her. I could tell it was female because of her feminine voice, and the silhouette shadow on the wall. She said in an understanding voice, "I am sorry, my love, you can not see me. This is faith based. I know, we are asking for a lot, especially after his little trick. Just know, I have only talked to him. I have never seen him. We cannot meet face to face either, until the merging begins. This is how it must be; this is how yourGrandmother destined it to be. Even before, the day your parents knew you were conceived, your grandmother knew. You will know everything when we are merged. All you must do, is say, I Accept You. And we can start the merge. The choice of being your true self is yours, and yours alone.
This time I have a choice, it doesn't feel forced; like jump in the fucking hole or stand here forever. My grandma trusted me to only do this in the worst-case scenario. This is pretty much the worst case scenario. I trust my Grandma to know if I can do this, or not. In a rush I say." Fuck it. I Accept You." And I closed my eyes and said a little prayer.
Thinking to myself while holding my arms apart. As the youngest Boy, I got picked on a lot by my older siblings growing up. It made me stronger; it made me pretty much not afraid of much. You put my mother in the scenario though; I start to feel the fear. She looks almost fake up there in that circle. A shell of the woman, I know and love. My mom is up against an unknown assailant; and here I am, stuck in the fucking "T" pose to put up a bubble; that my younger sister, and mom's inner people could take care of in their sleep. I love her deeply and I'm worried. She has been like that for nearly 45 minutes. I don't care how long I have to be like this, I'll stay like this forever, if It somehow helps her through this. I, Dax Lambert, am afraid to death for my mom. Will I ever show it? Hell No. Will I ever say it? Hell No. As I was having my private Ted talk moment, I cracked my eyes open to check on her. The bubble is turning darker green now, with sparks flickering off of it. That's when I see the bubble start to fill up, with what looked like smoke. My heart skipped a beat or ten. I nearly dropped my arms. Lucky for me I couldn't, the Red Earth girls did something; I can see the energy wrapped around my wrist and going to the next hand. It went all the way around the rings of people, it was crazy to see. I tried to speak, and something stole my voice, in my head I hear, "Relax, your mother is starting the merge. She needs us to be as strong as we can, right now." Knowing what is happening is nice, but having someone talk in your head, now! that shit is for the birds. I can barely see mom now; the smoke is just so thick. I do the only thing I can do and focus on the damn bubble and pray for my mother.
The smoke is so thick, how can mom even breathe? I ask myself as I look at my siblings and my dad. I don't get to see mom or dad that often. My brother and I went to college down in Monroe, just to be on our own, but still be technically in the state. Being the oldest girl in a decent size family, you learn a lot of things really fast in life. I did not learn this though; watching your mom try to save the world, and face something she had no idea about. The dark cloud of smoke made it impossible to see mom. As soon as I thought that, a bright blue light appeared at the top of the bubble. It started pushing the smoke down to the point I can now see mom. What is that? I swear, I see legs, dropping down out of the ceiling of the bubble. And wings? What the hell? Out of the smoke I see hands, grasping up moms' legs, I see another darker pair of wings coming out of the smoke also. What is going on? It looks like heaven and hell is fighting over mom. With a flash of neon blue than dark red light they both hit moms' body, and she absorbed them like a sponge in water. Then all was still. Mom is still standing in the middle of the circle. Her eyes are opened, and she looked at all of us, then the bubble that was reacting to her. Her feet then left the ground. The Red Earth girls in the bubble with her, bowed down to show respect, even Orna bowed. Withthat mom spread her arms and with her arm she revealed what looked like angel wings, but one was white, and light blue, and the other is dark gray, and dark red, with bright red. Moms eyes were not green either; one was electric sky blue, and one was a red sunburst. One by one moms' personalities were absorbed when she looked at them. The Red Earth girls stood up and bowed their heads as they walked closed to her. One by one they also were absorbed. Everyone is where they should be now, but is mom ok? She gently landed on the ground and stood there what seemed like forever. She looked up, and said, "My family, you are the reason I made it though this. Yes, I am going to be different, but I am, and will always be your mother. You have nothing to fear. I will tell you what has happened in full, and I will help you awaken if you choose. We can, and we will, stop this horrible event. You just have a choice to make; do you trust me, or not? All you to say, is Yes, I trust you. The choice is yours, and have yours alone.
We all just stood there, not knowing what to do or, even say. Looking at this woman, that looked like Isabella. I looked around the room, and V even looked unsure. My arms, for the first time in the hour or so they have been up, hurt. I notice the energy that was holding our arms up, and together are gone. I know I'm a friend, and not blood; but I'm a wiccan also, and my instinct say she is trustworthy. I think we should vote. Red finds her voice and speaks. "It's our choice. So, lets vote. Arms down is trust her, arms up is don't trust her. When we choose; we figure it out from there. Everyone agree?" There was a brief silence followed by everyone saying, "agree." Except, everyone looked at V, Robby, Lexi, and Dax for their vote first. If her husband, and kids say its ok, then it must be right; right? V, seen this and took a long breath while looking at her mom and said, "Yes, I can feel this is mom, but with that I can feel that she isn't alone. What i
Getting 2 hours of sleep, maybe; I am surprised that I feel recharged and ready to face the day. I almost forgot all that happened yesterday until "The Two' stirred with in me. I look at our alarm clock and it says 7:00 a.m. My dad should be here in 2 hours. I'll take this time to figure out some things, like who have I bonded to myself and what I can do, maybe. I don't want to sneeze and have the house come down or something like that. I walk into the on-suite and jumped in the shower the hot water making my worries flush down the drain. Until I hear her voice like she is standing in the shower with me. It made me jump and almost biff my head on the shower shelf but catching the door and falling out of the shower landing square on my ass. Trying to not get mad all I could do is laugh at myself. Then I hear her again, this time like she was a little farther away. "I am so sorry, my love. I did not mean to startle you. I am new to this also so try to bear with me
The first part of training took 4 hours, and if it weren't for the fact, we are all suped up I think we would have died. My dad was in hog heaven during the whole thing, but now it must be time to move on to something else. Ana spoke, "I think it is lunch time, all of you need to grab something to eat, and we will continue the training afterwards." "We will start something new after lunch." Raz said after Ana spoke. "Ok all, we are done beating each other's asses for now." I said jokingly. "We need to grab a quick lunch than after that, they said we will do something else." Everyone was happy to hear that we are done with the hand-to-hand combat for now, and that we are going to learn something else when we start again. I didn't realize the fact we were outside in northern Michigan in February for 4 hours, and nobody even acted like they were a little bit cold. Sandy even took off her coat during training. So, on top of everything else we are not
It's nearly 6 pm. It feels so much later to me. Slowly, but surely more and more people show up to our house. I guess it makes me feel good people just don't think I'm nuts and blow this off. My mom and stepdad shows up, so we can make a plan. Her house is now where we are telling my family to go to. My stepdad are amazing in the woods; so, he is going to scope out places they can all go; That has cover and a water source and a lot of animals. My Mom and J.R live in the middle of the Huron National Forest, so there is many spots that can work. My mom tells me my brother, and his wife, and my new niece will be at her house in a few hours. I'm excited to see her for the first time. With the plans slowly coming together, and people are getting out of Fermi's blast zone I feel a little better, but not much. I thought I would be a little better mentally ready, but no one can be completely mentally ready for the End of the World. Can they?
With everything, it comes back to Red Earth, and Orna. I’ve tried to not call on them girls when I have a problem for years now. I need answers, and they are better to answer it then me. I can hear Orna now, laughing at the fact I still need her. This world is in danger, I have no other choice. I take a second from beating myself up for this to ask Robby to come to me by the link. “You ok Darlin’, you sounded even more stressed than you were last time you linked with me.” He said, while walking towards me. “I’m ok, I guess. I just wanted you to know I have to talk to Orna. She might be able to help me figure out who is doing this to our world. This could be all happening because of a version of me from a different dimension.” I said to him. “I trust you baby. If you say you need to do this, then you have to do this. You literally have the worlds’ fate on your shoulders. Do you think they can track the person if it is a different dimension you?” He
Sitting on the bed, getting ready to bring Orna here; I’m still thinking about the thoughts I had in the bathroom. When Robby asked, “Are you ok, Babe?” I reply as I always do when something is stressing me, “I’ll be fine, Hun.” I stand up and walk towards the looking glass. Focusing on the task at hand, not my fears about the answers I’m going to get. I stand in front of the looking glass a minute, looking at my feet. I take a big breath and let it out. I raise my eyes to the looking glass and see my reflection. I close my eyes and picture Orna in my mind, then open my eyes. Orna is now standing in the place of my reflection. In my mind I say, “You can cross over, come here.” Just like my clone she steps out of the looking glass, like it has become a door. She is standing in front of me in my bedroom. Its so weird being me in my home and she is standing in front of me. Other than the night I opened my gifts totally, Orna and I haven’t been on this Earth in huma
Sitting on the corner of the bed with my eyes shut; while Orna is going to do something to me isn’t what I would say is a relaxing moment. Yeah, Robby is right here, and the family can be linked with at any point I need to, but it’s still Orna. When dealing with her I still feel like that young teen that doesn’t know exactly what to do, if shit hits the fan. Plus, she is here in the flesh not using me to be here, and she has all her powers. I sit there with my eyes closed, just waiting not knowing what all must happen. I hear her walking towards me; I feel a hand that isn’t Robby’s, touch my face and I jump. I hear, “Shhh its ok. Just relax nothing bad is going to happen. This I vow.” Then I feel lips on my lips. Is Orna kissing me? I think to myself. I don’t know what to do so I just sit there with my eyes closed. Yeah, I’m starting to feel like I do know this movie. Not a horror flick, but one of Robby’s skin fl
“Little One, it is time to get up.” Raz says. I open my eyes and look at my phone 5:30 it reads. “Really 5:30 a.m. Raz, why so early?” I whined. I got up; and seen Robby is still sleeping, and Orna is gone. “I’m gonna take a shower Raz. If that’s ok?” I said almost like a teen. “Yes, little one it is ok.” Raz replies like a father. Once I’m all clean and feeling more like myself; I go and get a coke zero and brew some coffee for Robby. One sip of the ice-cold Coke zero, and I feel a lot better. I pour a cup of coffee and bring it to Robby, and gently wake him up. He grabs the cup and says, “Thank you, my love.” While he gets up and around, I ask Ana and Raz in my mind,” Ok, what is the plan today.” “The plan today is getting everyone to the safe zone, that your stepdad found. Set that up, and get whomever that wants to be awaken, woke. Then it is back to hand and hand combat, and blade training. Sal is also going to teach people how to us
Flashing back to the homestead I see all my family and friends. I tell them all what happened, which wasn’t much. Hey, but at least I might have saved a few people. I must figure out tonight, who is going to do this to my world. If it’s another version of us, then fine. What is in their arsenal, and how do we stop this? I hear Ana say in the mind link, “Eat, and after we will show you how to see everything; that you want to know.” I did what I was told. I was really hungry anyways.Raz said in the link, “Grab the looking glass, and set it up away from the others like before.” Without hesitation, I did what I was told again. Raz must have told my dad, and Robby to do stuff because both came walking towards me. Robby put a ring of lit candles around the looking glass and where I was supposed to stand. My dad handed me a joint and a lighter. So, I lit it, but both just walked away. I sat down in a chair that I would have sworn wasn&rsquo
It is time to go. Robby and I say our goodbyes and jump into the truck. We are down by Fermi in a split second. Something just doesn’t feel right. My normal gifts are telling me that much. We sneak into Fermi under my shield. We check around everywhere we could get to. Looking for bombs that were not there. If this place is supposed to go boom, then bombs would have to be already planted. Even with my enhancements on my gifts it was still very hard to get in. Since I have never been inside of this place I can’t just poof myself into places. We checked everything we could. If I can’t get somewhere, a normal person can’t; even if they work here; there is checks at every door to other sections. X ray, scanners, and heat sensors; the whole nine yards, it’s locked down, and protocol is followed to the T. Which is good because it’s a nuclear power plant. We decide to start walking the hallways to check by the employee break areas. When we see the girl from my vision, Amy Warner. E
Why did they say tomorrow, tomorrow is the 14th? The only ones that have to worry, is me, and Robby; crossed my mind as I was visiting with everyone. My mind went on a tangent now with the thoughts and questions I have, but I tried to stay present with here and now.Everything has gone so smoothly. Things don’t ever go this smoothly in my life ever. I still try to push the thoughts away, but they have taken root in my brain.We wake up bright and early because of Raz, 5:30 am the 14th of February. The plan is set for Robby and me to go to Fermi, and scope it out. Red and Sal went on the liquor run so we have it if, and when the time comes. I flashed them in a vehicle to the nearest road; so, they can run around. Everything is getting so much easier to do, the learning curve is crazy. Collecting stuff, we might need; we ended up filling the truck. I hear Robby chuckle and say, “we are only going down for a few hours.” 
Everyone dies if I can’t get over my fears of “Bob” really, what the fuck? I haven’t done anything to this other version of me, why is she hell bent on destroying my world. We aren’t even from the same dimension even. I feel my anger building again but a smash it down, no, my anger is going to be aimed at the person who is fucking up mine and my family’s life. I tell Robby to come with me so I can update him with what the plan is. Seeing how stressed I was he tried to lighten up the conversation by smiling and saying, “Ok, cool where is the liquor at? If you need him here that’s how you do it. Apparently, he really likes Jim Beam, so let’s start with that.” All I could do was laugh after that. It’s been a couple of years since Robby has had any liquor, because of the “Bob” problem. One shot is all it takes, and Robby is gone, but “Bob” is too good at playing Robby. Nobody knows the difference until he has drunk a fifth or more, than “Bob” drops the act and is total dar
“Little One it is time too get up. We must plan everything for the upcoming days.” Raz said, pushing me out of my slumber. Looking at my phone it reads 5:30 am on the 13th of February. D-day is right around the corner, and we haven’t even gone over what I should do. I brush my hair and brush my teeth in this small camper bathroom. It’s not much, but hey it’s ours and it is pretty spacious for a camper inside. All the kids fit, plus 3 dogs, and Robby and I, so I can’t complain. I get coffee ready for Robby and the older kids. I grab a cold Coke zero, and it tastes so good. When the coffee is done, I wake everyone up; then head outside. My grandma is already in the kitchen cooking up a storm. Before I even reach her, people are coming out of their campers and tents. I guess Raz is the best alarm clock ever. We all sit at the tables trying to wake up and barely talking. I hear nature waking up also in the distance. I hear Ana’s voice, “We are g
In the darkness, I hear Raz and Ana’s voice, “Come on Little One, open your eyes. You bumped your head pretty good, but you are going to be fine.” My eyes flutter but don’t open. I hear them again, “Little one if you do not wake up; we are going to alert Robby, and your dad” ‘I’m trying to force my eyes open but It’s not working.” I whisper in my mind hoping they can hear me. “Good Little One, you are with us. It is ok, just keep trying. If you still can not open your eyes, try to flash yourself back to camp. You do not have to be fully awake to do it, you just have to be awake in your head.” Raz said, in a concern tone. “Ok, I’ll try to flash back to them.” I said in my head. I picture our homestead with all my family and friends. I picture the nice soft grass in the combat area my dad was making. The noise of people talking and moving about. I feel that familiar electricity moving through my body and the cold woosh of air, b
“Little One, it is time to get up.” Raz says. I open my eyes and look at my phone 5:30 it reads. “Really 5:30 a.m. Raz, why so early?” I whined. I got up; and seen Robby is still sleeping, and Orna is gone. “I’m gonna take a shower Raz. If that’s ok?” I said almost like a teen. “Yes, little one it is ok.” Raz replies like a father.
