บททั้งหมดของ Center Land (Book 3 of Kendra's Journey): บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 48

Kendra sucked in air as a vision of Queen Isabo appeared before her.  The amazon queen was standing amongst a small group of aliens.  It was Kendra’s first view of the aliens occupying inner earth.  They looked exactly like the ones on the surface.  She shuddered with repulsion as the memories of her time as their prisoner fluttered through her mind.Pushing the unsettling thoughts away as best as she could, she focused on the conversation that was taking place between the amazon queen and the alien who was clearly of status.  They were speaking a language that was foreign to Kendra, but their tones and facial expressions led her to believe that their interaction was friendly.Her heart raced wildly with remembrance and trepidation as the rogue amazon leader, Minerva, walked up to them.  Kendra recognized most of the rogues following her from her time in their camp.  They stood a short distance away from their leader as they wai

Arthur insisted that Olga, Kendra, Rex, Felix, and Pete make haste on their very important mission.  Promising to tend to Ari as best he could, he waited until they were well out of sight before turning to Alice.With a frown on his face, he asked with concern, “What do you think, Alice?  Do you think she’ll even make it to Hope?”The severe wrinkles on her face made it almost difficult to tell that the young woman’s brows were knit together as she looked down at Ari.  “She’s in pretty bad shape.  I thought that they were saving her life.  It looks more like they were keeping her alive for some reason that didn’t require good health.”Arthur shuddered.  “They were a deceiving bunch, wouldn’t you say?  All that talk about peace and caring for mankind.  I wonder why they really kicked out those rogues.  From what I could see, they weren’t any worse than t

Kendra was concerned.Rex was in trance for what she deemed an excessive length of time.  What could he possibly be seeing that would take him so long?  She was seriously considering joining him in trance to find out, but, then, thought better of it. Moving close to her aunt she whispered, “Do you think that one of us should go into trance to see what’s happening?  He might need to be pulled back.”Olga knit her brows together. She’d been thinking the very same thing.  It had never happened to her, but she’d heard about visionaries getting stuck in a vision and needing assistance coming back.  It was a rare occurrence, but it did happen.She grabbed her niece’s hand and held it to her heart. “It must be me who goes in to see what’s up.  If he’s stuck, you aren’t adept enough to bring him back.”She knew that her aunt spoke the truth, but the realit

Luck was with them as they slipped through the door and scurried across the wide, well-lit corridor and into the shadows.  There was no sign of life, but they dared not speak.  Drawing from her experience as a prisoner in the past, Kendra behaved as she had while escaping from the alien camp on the surface and slipped from shadow to shadow as silently as possible.Once again, Olga telepathically spoke to Kendra. “These bastards speak a crazy language, but I managed to decipher the location of Eugene.  Look for a door with two ‘X’s’, an upside down ‘V’ and an ‘O’ on it in the west wing.  That’s where he is. Hurry, they’re preparing to send a search party out for our bodies.”Feeling the pressure of the urgency, Kendra motioned for Pete and Felix to follow her as she turned a corner and began surveying the writing on the doors.  They were already in the west wing, but she saw nothi
