Chapter 8

   

  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 the buzz of the house and the people in and out trying to collect things needed for everything that is going to happen; I feel almost calm. With dooms day only 4 days away everyone that is awoken is calm; set on a task doing what they all must do. I don’t think anyone is making light of this, but the calm is making it easier for everyone to work. I still feel the stress of it all, but my mind is focused and clear. One task at a time. We are not looking at the big picture as a whole but working towards a way to change the pieces of the big picture. One task at a time.

          Before my mom and stepdad leave and go to their house. I ask if they want to be awoken. I also said we can talk to each other without using phones or anything if they do have me do this. To showed them what I was talking about. I told my mom and J.R to pick a person that was here, and to pick something they can grab for them. My mom said, “ok? Have Robby, grab me a glass of water.”

Without a skip of a beat Robby turns and looked at the house and started walking towards the door. We hear the cupboards opening and closing and the water running. We hear him turn off the water. He walks into the living room and hands it to mom. “Here you go, Mumma.” Robby says to her in his way of saying mama. He gives her a kiss on her head and says “Love you, Mumma. We will be heading that way in a day or so.” And he turns and leaves to finish what he was doing.

My mom looks at me and says,” yeah, do that to me, you know how I worry. No waiting for someone to answer a text or a call. Yep, I want it.” Then she looks at J.R and say, “You’re going to do it too. I know hearing me in your head is not what you would say was pleasant, but I promise I won’t abuse it.”  J.R just says in his calm and cool tone, “Yup.”

So, I smiled at them and touched their forehead after I told them it would take a minute before they got their bearings back.

While they find their center again, I ask Raz to update them on all the perks of this new gift and how to use it. Their faces tell me that Raz is talking to them, very surprised at first, and listening very closely second.

When my mom gets over to me smiling and kisses me on my cheek. She says to me through the link, “We are going to the house. To get everything ready. We will tell everyone about having you awaken them also because this is a safety thing. We don’t know how long we will have cellphones we can use.” I giggled to my self because of how she is talking. She sounds like a computer voice. I told my mom through the link, “Mom I love you. Mama you can talk normally. Just think it like you normally would talk.”

I hear a laugh in my head then she said “Sorry. I didn’t realize I was doing that. I love you to. Ill tell you when we are home.” With that we gave each other hugs and they head towards their truck. I ask J.R while walking towards there truck, “You all, right?” I just hear a “yup’” in my head as he smiles, and walks out the door.

I went out to the porch and see just how much everyone has been doing; I’m just amazed. I hear Raz, “They have everything covered out here. You need to train; you need to learn how to co-exist here and another place at the same time.”

“What? I don’t think I’m sure I know what you are talking about. Do you mean cloning myself?” I said out loud. Giggling, when I realized that I said it out loud. I’m glad everyone is outside.

“Yes, little one. It is easier than transporting. Look at yourself in a mirror and have your image walk out of the mirror.” Raz said, as if it is as easy to add 1+1.

Ana speaks up and says “I know your human mind set is saying its not possible, but it is truly easy. The clone as you put it, is you. As you know it will also. You are projecting another you into this reality. Which means you don’t need to program or teach it. It knows all you do; it will do what it needs to do. You can only project yourself for maybe an hour or two. It isn’t a forever thing, and it will take a few hours before you can do it again; if you don’t combine yourself before it disappears.”

“Umm, ok. I think I get it.” I said, in my head as I was walking to my mirror. I look at my self in the mirror and all I thought was come here, and my reflection just walked out of the mirror. I’m standing in front of myself and just amazed it worked with no problem. I hear Raz say, “Go help with the work outside.” In the next second the other me smiled and disappeared. I half ran to the big living room windows and see the other me helping everyone. No body knew the difference either.

I looked at the clock and seen it was 9:30pm. Wow, today flew by, and stood still at the same time.

Raz broke my thoughts and spoke, “Say to the clone complete, with the link.” So, I did what I was told while I was in front of the windows watching. Sure, enough the other me looked at me through the windows and then was just gone.

Why couldn’t I have this gift when I was a kid, I laughed to myself. Today was a day for the books. Everyone got so much done. I keep learning more and more skills to help with the day. But I still don’t know why this is all happening or who is doing it.

Then a thought hit me. If I can do all of this, then why couldn’t someone else do it to. What if the other person like me didn’t have the faith, or the upbringing I did. What if this other person just wants to see the world burn.

 My upbringing, my faith, and everything I’ve went through in my life is the reason I’m me. The reason I’ve never used my gifts for dark purposes. I know this was already a possibility of who, but it just now took hold into my brain. All of the dark thoughts I’ve had over the years, but I pushed away because of who I am. Doesn’t mean everyone like me would.

I hear Raz say, “Exactly right, little one. You were born to choose good or evil. Being good is always the harder road because you do not want to hurt people. You work very hard to be good. Not everyone would take the hard way, most would take the easy way and that usually leads to evil doings.”

 “Do you think this could be because of another dimensions’ me?” The question wasn’t really to anyone but myself.

“It is a possibility little one. The most logical one I am sorry to say.” Raz answered.

“Well, isn’t this just great,” I said sarcastically out loud. Well, if it is a version on myself then at least I know what my dark thoughts were, and I know I am going to have to talk with Orna.
