File 3 and after that, what happened?
The Bar Tender
When I got to my door after my shift I could hear voices in my room. I became a little concerned because only Brittany was meant to be in there.
When I entered I found Brittany talking with a woman and a man. They were all standing in the middle of my room. Both of these new people had the same kind of clothes as Brittany and they were also both blonde.
Brittany turned around and smiled brightly at me. She held out the machine that had been on my desk earlier and spoke still smiling. Her smile went slightly when I didn’t reply.
She then shook her head and pointed to the new woman “Quinn” she said then pointed to the man “Samuel”
Then looking at them she pointed at me and spoke, the sentence had my name in it so I assume she telling them who I was.
Samuel and Quinn both bowed slightly at me.
“What’s going on Brittany?” I asked.
These people were obviously from the same place as Brittany, but how had they got here and why were they here in my room?
She started talking and walked over to my desk. On there were some small tools and some strawberries. None of it helped me understand what was going on. Strawberries were one of the most expensive fruits you could buy, the last time I had had them was when I was a small child and yet she had a bowl full of them. Some of them had been cut in half and didn’t look quite right.
Brittany was still talking. She turned to my wall and placed the machine she had against it. When she let it go it stayed stuck to the wall, she then pressed some buttons on it and a large oval of light came out of it then sort of flashed and suddenly all I can see through it was trees.
More tree’s than I have ever seen in my life and so green and bright. I imagined it was what the countryside used to be like hundreds of years ago.
I stepped back away from it, how had she made this appear in my wall?
She put her hand on my shoulder in a reassuring way and smiled.
Quinn said something to her and then stepped through the wall into the landscape. Then Samuel did the same. I could see them through the oval, their hair blowing in the wind.
She must have seen the confusion on my face because she put her hand on my cheek and lifted my head so I was looking at her. She then spoke softly to me, let me go and moved towards the tree’s in the wall and smiled.
I realised then that this is where she had come from and that she was about to go back. I rushed towards her and held her hand tightly
“No, please don’t go……. please” I begged “Please.. you’ve… you’ve made my life….. brighter, happier, please….Brittany, don’t leave”
She looked at me for what felt like ages. She looked sad and when she moved slightly towards the wall I quickly pulled her towards me, reached up and kissed her. To my delight she didn’t pull away, she kissed me back, placing her arms around me.
When she pulled away she touched my face again and walked to the wall, looked back at me and stepped through the hole to the forest.
I didn’t see how the hole closed or disappeared because I was crying and turned away so she wouldn’t see.
The Warrior
Quinn had reached through and pulled the device through after us and switched it off. Samuel and her walked in front of me and said nothing as I cried.
Within a few moments we were standing outside the great city entrance.
Quinn had told me earlier that the war had been won by us, but that everyone had thought I had been killed. It was only when I had tested that the device worked with the juice of the red berry that they knew what must have happened.
I was surprised that the war had been won so quickly, I had only been gone for a couple of cycles, but Samuel explained that the Great Nations had intervened when it was known that the enemy had broken the laws of war.
I was glad it had ended so quickly. If it had lasted longer, then my younger sister would have had to have taken my place if my family thought I was dead, and I did not want her experiencing war.
I was taken to where our family were. They were pleased to see me and Samuel and Quinn were congratulated for finding the connection the device had made and of course finding me there.
I had to explain to everyone what had happened and what I had experienced. All this did was remind me of Santana and her face as I had left.
For the rest of the cycle all I could think of was her and that I missed her so.
As I lay in my bed I couldn’t sleep, so I decided there was only one thing I could do. I got dressed took the device and left my room.
The Bar Tender
That night I fell asleep crying. Brittany had made the last few days happy and exciting. I have been living such a boring and monotonous life, then she came along and turned it upside down. And just like that she leaves.
When I woke the next morning I knew that I just had to get back to how my life was and forget that this beautiful stranger had come into it.
I went to the bar the same as I do every day. I had to put up with the same scum as I always do, but my mind would always go back to her, I’m sure that if there were any blonde people left here on earth every one of them would remind me of her.
At the end of my shift I left, taking a drink with me, I don’t normally drink alcohol, especially after what it did to my family, but I knew that I would need it as I sat in my room on my own.
The Warrior
I didn’t know how late or early it was, as it always seemed dark in some way, so I sat on the seat under the window.
It was only a short time before she opened the door and walked in.
At first she didn’t see me, she came in shut her door and threw some things on her bed, she then turned on the light and turned quickly in my direction and froze.
I stood up and walked over to her, she stared at me until I placed my hand on her cheek, then she closed her eyes
“I can only think of you” I said, she opened her eyes and looked at me
I smiled “come with me”
She placed her hand over mine and smiled
I moved to the other side of her room and placed the device on the wall. She stepped towards me with a look of fear. I turned the device on and she took my hand and pulled it toward her.
When the view in the connection was my home again I turned to her and smiled
“Santana, Brittany” I said and pointed through the connection
She looked a little confused, so I tried again
I placed my hand on her chest “Santana” then took her hand and placed it on my chest “Brittany” then pointed again through to the forest.
She stepped a little closer
“You can come back at any time” I said
As she got closer to me, I leaned down and kissed her and holding her hand moved closer to the device, this time she followed.
With a final smile and her hand in mine I stepped through the connection with her following.
Comments? anyone?
