Béla Book 5: New BeginningsChapter 39 free porn video
Elaine, Annalisa and the human twins, Murielle and Miranda stood in the grove, holding hands to form a circle.
“Now, here’s how it works, girls,” Elaine was saying. “We form a circle and we mind-link together. I will suggest the object to concentrate on. When you can see that object in front of you, let me know. When you all see the same – by that I mean that our attention is on the same individual object, then we pull it into the circle.
“You mean that if you want us to concentrate on locating a fork or a spoon, we all have to locate the same one?” Murielle asked, grinning with disbelief at her new instructor.
“Yep! That’s exactly what I mean!” Elaine grinned back. “You find the exact one I’m thinking about!”
“Sounds like work to me,” mumbled Miranda.
“We won’t be looking for forks,” giggled Annalisa. “It’ll be fun!”
“Okay,” Miranda replied, not certain at all.
They concentrated on creating a common space in the center of the circle. Murielle linked up with her twin and, as she did, she felt Annalisa’s mind link with hers and Elaine casually embracing them all.
“You all remember what the Praetor looks like,” Elaine said, giving them their assignment.
“Yeah,” Murielle murmured, her eyes shut as she remembered that strange box in Lisa’s room back in Solar City.
“Okay, good,” Elaine said as she noted the different views the girls had of that object. The twins had the same object located, six months in the past, on Earth. Annalisa had an image of the University Praetor in her mind.
“Alright, everyone,” Elaine said, getting their attention again. “Now make an image of a different praetor. It looks the same as the one you’re looking at. But, it’s floating in a vacuum and surrounded by empty space. It should look something like...”
Image of a Praetor, possibly covered with dust, floating, spinning, in a vacuum.
Almost immediately, Annalisa located an image of a Praetor similar to the one Elaine was thinking about. It took the twins a couple of minutes to match their view up with Annalisa’s. Then they were certain they were all looking at the same Praetor.
“Okay, girls, let’s pull it in,” Elaine instructed them, surprised at how quickly four minds searching, even when two of them had never performed this exercise before, had found what she had searched the solar system many hours for and failed to locate.
At it appeared in front of the girls, it seemed smaller, somehow, than the one at University. Gradually, it increased in size and suddenly became solid with a small pop of air being displaced.
“Wow!” Annalisa said, relief evident in her voice. “That sucker was hard to get here!”
“No kidding!” Elaine agreed. She actually had a headache from teleporting it.
The twins didn’t say anything. They gracefully collapsed and sprawled out on the grass, completely unconscious.
“Something’s not right,” Elaine murmured. “Praetor, can you hear me?”
‘Eƒƒetx JäkkS Xüri?’
“Holy shit!” Annalisa exclaimed. “What the hell was that?”
“Oh my God!” Elaine whispered in awe and amazement. “It speaks Viragoan!”
‘Praetor! My Praetor please! Respond!’ Elaine cried out into the air with her mind.
‘Yes, Seeker, ‘ the Praetor replied. ‘What is it ... One moment, please. Downloading incoming transmission.’
“What’s happening?” Annalisa asked, frightened to her very core.
Elaine gazed across the space separating them containing the Praetor they’d recovered. Her eyes had a fearful look in them that Annalisa had never seen before. “This isn’t the Praetor from Father’s ship,” Elaine said, her voice strangely quiet, strained. “This is the Praetor assigned to Commander Xuri.”
“There’s another great ship?” Annalisa asked, her quick mind putting together the obvious facts. “But, what was this Praetor doing floating in deep space?” Then she understood. That other ship had been destroyed, as well. Tears sprang into her eyes, even though she had never met any of the alien beings on that ship. When she was able to blink away her tears, she saw that Elaine was weeping, too.
After a few moments, Elaine looked down at the Praetor they’d recovered. ‘Þúcce rettodä Elíännae. Açeeda Xüri e descnde GYYnd. Xüri kiurrwy?’ she asked it.
Annalisa stared in amazement at her dearest friend, still partially mind-linked with her. But now there was a part of Elaine’s mind visible that she had kept shielded from all of them. This mind contained memories of her existence before her arrival on Earth. The images were quite vivid, but the concepts were alien, as well as the language Elaine was using right now.
‘Praetor, help me, ‘ Annalisa whispered in her mind as she gazed at the being who was so obviously more than just her sister.
“Ejah!” Elaine cried out, then collapsed in tears and lay sobbing on the ground.
Annalisa jumped up and grasped her sister, holding her tightly as she obviously grieved.
‘Praetor, tell me what’s happening!’ Annalisa cried out in her mind.
‘This Praetor is from the flagship vessel commanded by a great Viragoan leader. The Seeker, your sister Elaine, was inquiring about her father, who served with Commander Xuri.’
‘How could she possibly know that?’ Annalisa asked, convinced the world was coming apart and terrified of what might happen. ‘I thought Sibilius was our father! He created us! Didn’t he? And what was all that scary stuff she was saying to that machine?’
‘That ‘scary stuff’ is your native language, Child, ‘ the Praetor gently chastised her. ‘It frightened you because you could almost understand what the Seeker was saying. Your own memories of your earlier life are close enough to the surface of your consciousness that you could hear the meanings behind the words uttered by your sister and fellow shipmate.’
‘Okay, now! Stop that!’ Annalisa exclaimed. ‘You’re scaring me worse than Elaine is!’
‘That’s because your memories are coming back, Child, ‘ the Praetor told her. ‘They began to re-emerge when you first laid eyes on your lost life-mate, Harkon, in the form of Jake. I find it interesting to note, however, that you are most selective in choosing what you wish to remember, Alysana.’
‘Don’t call me that! I am Annalisa, now, ‘ Annalisa angrily thought at the Praetor. ‘And my beloved Jake isn’t Harkon anymore. He’s human and hasn’t the capacity in his mind to remember ‘before’! It was too many lifetimes ago for him, so let it be known that we are Annalisa and Jake! I have bonded with him as he is now. I will not lose him, again!’
‘It is, as always, your choice, ‘ the Praetor replied. ‘Each has the freedom to live life in the manner chosen. No one will deny you this.’
Annalisa/Alysana felt the Praetor withdraw from her mind. Gazing down at the sobbing, helpless mass of grieving emotions in her lap, Annalisa bent her head forward in formal acknowledgement of her dear quire’s grief, gently drawing away the excess emotion and grounding it into the surface beneath her.
‘Eliannai, my quire, I share your grief in the ancient custom of our people. Please know that you are not alone and that Alysana grieves with you... ‘
“So, let me see if I’ve got this all straight,” Jonathan grinned. “Jackie, you’re my sister – well, half-sister, anyway. And ‘Doc’ Frank is my half-brother, and we all have the same mother?”
“Right...” Jackie murmured, getting somewhat bored with Jonathan’s excitement about finding an entire family he didn’t know he had.
“And you and Lisa are half-sisters but she’s not related to me?” he asked.
“That’s because Jake is our father, but Béla was her mother,” Jackie explained. “Our mother is her step-mother, so that makes her your step-sister, if you need a familial slot to stick her in. In fact, when Lisa’s pissed at our mom, she often calls her ‘stepmom’, just to remind her that she never captured Jake, my father’s, heart.”
“I think it’s amazing that you two have the same father,” Jonathan grinned. “I’ve never met two women who were less alike.”
“Don’t you go picking on Lisa,” Jackie growled. “She as smart in her own way as I am. Plus she can fry your ass from a thousand miles away if she got pissed off enough.”
“Don’t remind me – I was just outside of Nashville...” Jonathan began, sounding surly, now.
“Hey!” Jackie hollered, interrupting him. “That was a Confederate bomb that blew up a Confederate city! No one should have had to die, but they shouldn’t have tried to nuke us, either.”
Jackie blasted the image into Jonathan’s mind of what really happened that day when more than thirty ICBM’s fell out of the sky, all aimed at Solar City. Lisa and her mother Béla had disarmed, destroyed or re-deployed all but the last three when Lisa was shot out of the sky and rammed by a fighter jet that physically sliced her in half with its stubby little tail wing.
The fact that Lisa’s broken body and the tail of that jet did an equal amount of damage to each other didn’t make much difference because the ICBM that Lisa was teleporting at the time went off when she was hit, and vaporized the jet before it could crash. It was a tribute to the girl’s pure, raw courage that as her dying act she managed to pull most of the explosion out of the physical universe and into the teleportation zone with her before it vaporized everything.
But that same explosion had taken Lisa’s mother out of the fight, too. The last two ICBM’s, unimpeded now, struck home and would have killed everyone inside the mountain had Tabatha not shielded the town inside the cavern, preventing the mountain from collapsing down and crushing everything.
“One woman’s mind shield was enough to resist two nuclear warheads?” Jonathan asked, stunned by the images his new sister had shoved into what she considered his callused mind. “And Lisa, all by herself, could instantly transport a nuclear bomb anywhere she wanted? No wonder Sattersby was afraid of you people.”
“He didn’t have to be afraid of us,” Jackie countered. “He could have offered peace, but he chose not to and set three armies on us, instead.”
“From what I understand, people in your group were stealing supplies from them,” Jonathan replied. “If it hadn’t been for your thieves, the Confederacy would never have suspected you were even there.”
“Mom tells it differently,” Jackie replied. “If you remember, Sattersby was her bondsman for several years, just before he had her arrested for treason and sentenced to death.”
“What?” Jonathan cried in distress. “I never heard about any of that! She was bonded to Sattersby, true, but she enjoyed her life with him. I’d swear by that!”
“Sattersby was only interested in Mom because she was telepathic,” Jackie informed him. “He had a testing cube that lit up whenever telepathic waves were being emitted by anyone.”
“Really?” Jonathan asked. “What did it look like?”
Jackie showed him an image in his mind.
“I’ve seen that,” Jonathan remembered, thinking hard. “It was on Sattersby’s desk – an ornament of some kind – a paperweight, he said. But I never saw it light up.”
“You mean he tested you and you didn’t use telepathy while you were in the room with that cube.”
“Oh. He was testing me?” Jonathan asked, perplexed, now. “He was talking to me about taking a team up to New England to see what was happening up there. I left two days later and the expedition there and back took more than a year. I was just returning when Nashville got nuked.”
“Hmm,” Jackie said thoughtfully. “So he got you out of the way before he arrested Mom.”
“That sorry bastard!” Jonathan exclaimed, angry and knowing he was much too late to do anything.
“That’s all right,” Jackie replied. “Lisa and your grandmother rescued her.”
“Lisa again,” murmured Jonathan. “It’s hard to feel grateful...”
Jackie laughed. “She affects everyone that way. She has an attitude that makes you want to smack her sideways, but Elaine has practically given her Carte Blanche to do just about anything she wants.”
“Maybe Elaine’s afraid of her,” Jonathan suggested.
Jackie almost fell off the chair laughing. ‘Elaine? Afraid? God, hit me again!’
Tabatha, Dani and Alicia came in, their pleasant chatter suddenly swarming through Jackie and Jonathan’s discussion.
“Oh, good!” Jackie exclaimed. “You’re both here!”
“What’d you want, Darling?” Alicia asked her favorite daughter. “Oh! Jonathan! How wonderful! I didn’t know you’d be here!”
“Which ‘both’ does she mean?” Dani wanted to know as she slid into Jonathan’s lap. “You and me? Or those two?”
“Maybe she meant both of ‘you’,” Jonathan grinned, patting her gently on her slightly swollen stomach.
Dani laughed and kissed him. “I love you!”
‘Would you be interested in finding out how your children are doing?’ Tabatha thought into Dani’s head, stunning her completely. ‘Don’t worry – no one can hear me except you.’
‘My children?’ Dani exclaimed voicelessly. ‘But ... That was so long ago! Surely they’re grown and have forgotten me by now!’
Despite Dani’s objections, Tabatha could feel the pain the girl radiated whenever she thought about leaving her children with her deceased husband’s mother, intending to never return.
‘It will require several of us to create the image, ‘ Tabatha thought into her mind. ‘You can guide the way, since you know where they are – or rather – where they were.’
‘I can really find out if they’re okay?’ Dani thought back, part of her mind wondering why she was having so much trouble focusing her eyes on her new friend and old adversary.
“Okay, girls,” Tabatha called out to everyone. “Gather ‘round – We’re going to help Danielle locate some of her family that got left behind.”
“Gee, I never thought of that,” Alicia said. “I knew I left someone behind, but I thought he was dead – killed when Lisa bombed the Confederacy. Jonathan, did you leave someone behind? Some girl, perhaps, that you were in love with?”
“No, Mom,” Jonathan grinned at her. “Only you. And Dani’s the only girl I want, anyway.” He flinched, then grinned down at Dani as she sent Image of kisses being planted on Jonathan’s cheek by two ruby red lips...
“Alright, then,” Tabatha said, taking charge again. “Let’s everybody form a circle. Danielle, I want you to think about where you last saw your children. Try to project the image into the space in the center of the circle. I know you’ve never done this before...”
“I found Jonathan that way,” Dani said, smiling nervously. “But since there was only me, I didn’t use a circle.”
“And she found our boat once when it drifted away,” Jonathan added, more than willing to help with this important little project.
“Okay,” Tabatha laughed. “Then you have an idea of what I want you to do. If everybody holds hands, it will be easier to get everyone mind-linked.”
Jackie almost laughed out loud. She and her Femme teammates could mind-link while hundreds of miles apart. But then she remembered that Dani and her companion were still pretty new at this, even though the girl was getting pretty good at basic telepathy. She even almost had her privacy shields working properly.
Dani closed her eyes, surprised that the simple action flooded her cheeks with previously unshed tears. She opened her eyes again and noticed that most of the others were standing, heads bowed and eyes closed. Doing her best to ignore the trickling drops on her cheeks, she fought through the emotional turmoil in her mind and managed to make an image of her lost children. Just remembering them caused another flood of tears to escape her tightly closed eyes.
‘Very good, Sweetheart, ‘ Jackie thought into her mind, ‘Now try to imagine that image in the center of our circle. I’ll help you, but you’re guiding us. So keep your attention on the image even if you can’t get it into the circle.’
Grateful that she was so suddenly ‘not alone’, Dani found that her emotions were no longer preventing her mind from functioning. In fact, her feelings seemed to be giving her the fortitude to do what was requested of her. Smiling with new courage, she broadcast the image into the center of their circle.
Dani immediately felt several other minds sharing the image, making it more solid as their mental energy flowed into her own mind.
‘Now. Let’s go find them, shall we?’ Tabatha smiled, also in her mind.
Suddenly Dani knew how to create the rift in time and space that could reach back to Earth and her abandoned family. Tabatha and her friends were providing the incredible power required and Dani was riding on the crest of that power, steering – guiding – reeling through space and colliding joyfully with the Earth.
She looked around. The farmhouse was a decayed, ruined building. Half the roof had fallen in. In sudden despair, Dani almost lost the image. She felt Tabatha and Jackie bolstering her power, their love for her giving Dani the will she needed to continue the search.
Time began moving backwards. It stopped when she found her mother-in-law and her children leaving in a Land Rover. It was almost dusk and was safe for the older woman to be outside, now. Dani cried out her joy as she recognized her oldest son, Frances, now a strapping young man almost twenty, climbing up behind the wheel. Her younger son, Stephen, and her baby girl, Sherrie, already turning into a beautiful young woman, took the back seat while their grandmother sat next to Frances in front.
‘Can I follow them?’ Dani asked her closely linked companions.
‘Of course! Just keep your attention on them, and they will stay inside the circle, no matter how far they travel.’
‘Are those your children?’ Dani felt Jonathan ask, his mind filled with the wonder of what they were doing as well as his joy at discovering this new facet of his beloved Danielle.
