I was thinking last night about book three (no, I don't have a title yet - not even a working one). I still had it on my mind this morning so I decided to throw the idea down before I forgot it. So here you go. I still don't have a release date for book one "The Violet Eyes of Jesse Knight" but when I do I will pass it along to you.
Hey... if you have an idea of what my 'working title' should be let me know. This was written this morning some the spelling might be off. Love to all...
**********************************
Daniel and E'Anna passed quitely out of the small garden by the main Med Tech into one of the greater halls. They were holding hands by this time. Daniel, who swore up and down that this was a bad idea. Now he was just enjoying the company of just being in the presents of the gorgous being. As they were about enter the greater hall, Daniel felt something. He stopped and looked at E'Anna, who looked about as pale and horride as he felt. Something had happened to her brother, she had picked up on it as well.
"We have to find him," she almost pleaded with Daniel.
"He's got to be close," Daniel stated as he leaned in to her. "The feelings is to intence for him to be outside of the royal palace."
They both started to look around for some kind of clue of where to go next. When Daniel noticed that there was a faint light glowing in one of the Med Tech's rooms. He shook his head and tried to reach out for E'Falco. Could he be hurt? Is that what he was feeling? Could someone have brought him here? Or... Daniel knew what it was, before he could even answer any of his own questions. It was 'Dancer'. Anger started to come to him. He looked at E'Anna and was fighting back the erge to tell her but he could not. Daniel had seen some really weird stuff having to do with E'Falco as they were growing up back on earth. This was truly weird, even for E'Falco.
"I think... I think he is in love with that 'Dancer's' corpse," Daniel said in a low voice as if someone just might hear him. He did not have to worry about that, they were both alone as they stood just outside of one of the greater halls.
E'Anna's shock did not need to disgiused. She must have known something was up, being his twin, but this was not what she was thinking at all. How could he be in love with... that?
Daniel took a firmer grip of her hand and started to lead to the chambers were 'Dancer' was being kept. He looked at E'Anna one more time to see if this was sinking in, but it was not. They passed quitely into the Med Tech's office. Daniel decided to head for the light as he was leading E'Anna by the hand. This had to come to an end. Anger was now being replaced by fear and concern for his best friend.
They entered the room with the 'Dancer' still laying in the position as she had done for generations. Something had happen here though. Several of the smaller tables were tipped over on to their sides and instriments were everywhere. Daniel started to go farther into the room but E'Anna's grip tightened. He looked at her as if to reassure her that there was no danger and that he could handle himself.
"This is E'Falco not someone we don't know," he said as he let go of her hand.
She was scared now and he could see it.
"Stay here. If this goes bad head for the guards stationed at the other end of the greater hall," he whispered to her.
The erge to kiss her and wrap her up in his arms to protect her was so great. He turned away knowing that his best friend need him now. Daniel left her holding on to the door frame. He walked carefully deeper into the room. He motioned E'Anna to turn on the lights but nothing came on, they were blown. Daniel was now having second thoughts on entering the room. Lights on earth could blow out easy but not here. Just as he was about to step backwards out of the room he heard something. It was crying.
"Jess? Are you alright, bubba?" he asked to the darkness.
The the sound was now acting as if it was taken in air as after a hard cry. Daniel straned his eyes and looked into the darkness searching for E'Falco. He saw a dark figture curled up in the fartherist corner of the lab. Daniel's concern now over took his fear. He swept in to the figture. E'Anna saw him do this and followed suit. Before there was any argument, Daniel and E'Anna were gently pulling and partly carrying E'Falco out of the room. Daniel motioned to set E'Falco down on the floor just outside of the door of the Med Tech's room. The light was not as bright but it was still privite.
E'Falco was pale and shaking hard. His face was soaked with tears and his eyes were red, he had been crying for a long time. E'Anna came to rest on his right side. She wrapped her arms around his right arm as if he might try to run away and she was going to stop him. Daniel kneeled in front of him and took his left hand in his own and started to rub his fingers. E'Falco acted as if he was not even there. E'Anna gentlely laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. A small dim light appeared between them. Daniel knew that E'Anna was now calling out to her brother's soul. He watched this for a long moment hoping that there was a sign from E'Falco that he was in the 'here and now'. E'Falco leaned his head into E'Anna and E'Anna smiled slightly. E'Falco's eyes began to blink rappedly and if something might be in them. Daniel was releived to see that E'Falco's eyes were now coming into focus. Daniel could not help but smile at his true friend.
"We need to talk about this," Daniel stated. "Your going to have to find someone else a little more out going then her to hang out with. She's just not your type, Jess. Think of the age different."
E'Anna giggled at Daniel's remark. E'Falco just nodded as he was still trying to grab reality but he did smile slightly. He knew his best friend was right. E'Falco started to shake his head as if trying to shake the cobwebs out. Then tears came to his eyes and the visions of those terrible events started to form in his mind. They were so real as if he was there himself.
E'Falco looked at Daniel with fear in his eyes. Daniel started to mesage E'Falco's fingers again as if to tell him that it is going to be alright.
"You are here," Daniel stated with concern in his eyes. "Nobody is going to hurt you and you need to get a grip right now. What the vision was that you had seen, is not here."
"It is," E'Falco said horsely. "It has now come here and it could happen again."
"No, it won't," Daniel replied as he moved to sit on E'Falco's right side. "Because we won't let it."
"What is it that you seen, my equal? Tell us," E'Anna asked in a soft voice.
She laid her head on his shoulder again hoping that she could lighten his burden. He rubbed the top of her head with his. He closed his eyes as if just trying to feel the moment.
"I will tell you but I need to rest now," E'Falco said with his eyes still closed.
"Do you want me to get the healer?" Daniel asked with a nug.
"No... I want my dad. He could soften the visions or even blanket them enough so I could sleep."
Daniel got up with out a word and touched the top of E'Falco's head. E'Falco looked at him still groggy but managed to give him a smile. Daniel just simply smiled back as he started toward the greater hall. E'Anna chose to stay with her twin until their father arrived sometime latter.
Excorted by two guards, King E'Mor, in one fluid motion, picked up E'Falco and carried him to his bedding chambers. Daniel stood at the end the bed and E'Anna took up a chair close to him. E'Falco laid motionless on the bed and allowed his father to enter his now heavy mind. Soft pastel lights appeared over E'Falco's head and started to blanket their soft colors over his face. King E'Mor got up from the bed and motion to Daniel and E'Anna to follow. The three got to door and the King turn to Daniel and E'Anna.
"I want these visions documented," he said in a low voice so only Daniel and E'Anna could hear him. "I can not take these visions away from E'Falco D'Voren but I can perminently soften them." Then he turned to leave but turned back again. "E'Anna, I want as much detail as possible. Daniel, guide him in his telling of these vision, because they will come out in one big jubbled mess. I will leave you two to this task."
King E'Mor reached out and touched his daughter face with his finger tips and then grabbed Daniel shoulder. He turned and headed out the door, leaving Daniel and E'Anna to what was asked. Daniel placed his hands on both sides of E'Anna's face and brought their forheads together. That erge to kiss her was still there but he knew maybe he should not.
"Buckle down, sweety. This could be a bumpy ride for both of us," he said softly.
She just smiled trying to figture out if he ment them or E'Falco.
