It was many days after Ronan joined us and I was smiling when he walked by me and he would smile at me as well. As I was in the mess hall I was eating with Teyla and Colonel Sheppard. As we were eating and they were talking about a wonderful planet they just visited I was looking over at another table and several people were singing a song to one individual and they were all happy.
"Teyla what are they doing?" I asked.
"I do not know" she said looking at the table.
"It is a birthday celebration" said Colonel Sheppard.
Both Teyla and I looked at each other and then to Colonel Sheppard and I was waiting for him to explain more about this birthday celebration. He looked at both of us and then back to the table and he quickly chewed his food.
"It is an Earth tradition to celebrate the day of someone being born. They have cake and presents and celebrate"
"Can I have a birthday celebration?" I asked.
"Sure when were you born?" asked Colonel Sheppard.
I looked at him and then I looked to Teyla and I told them I did not know. I then finished eating and I walked away with Teyla and we were talking about Zarika and how they met. When we met up with Zarika I began to walk with her and she was smiling at me.
"Zarika when was I born?" I asked.
She looked at me and then thought for a moment. She then smiled at me and told me I was born seventeen years ago. I then asked her why I did not have a birthday celebration and I asked her if I could have one now. I was rattling off question after question and she chuckled at me and stopped me from talking.
"What is it with all the questions?" she asked.
"Colonel Sheppard just told me about birthday's and I wanted to have one"
she smiled at me and told me that she could work something out. I smiled at her and next thing I knew we were in the mess hall and Colonel Sheppard was there along with Teyla and Ronan and a bunch of other people. I was having an excellent time and Selin was smiling at me. He was twirling me around and I was laughing away. As I was almost finished with my birthday party Selin and Zarika both had to leave along with everyone else.
"Do you have to go?" I asked.
"Yes there is something we must do" said Selin.
"Will you and Zarika both come back later?" I asked.
Zarika nodded and told me to go play for awhile and I just nodded at her. I went back to my room to go read another book that Colonel Sheppard gave me. As I was ready my mind wandered to the many people that were now here and how my life was changing. I thought about my powers and how they were developing and yet I was still not strong enough to even protect Zarika and Selin. Then of course my mind wandered to having my birthday celebration and how much fun I had. As I was reading my book I heard alarms going off and I quickly stood up. I walked out of my door and down the hallway. While I was walking trying to find anyone I came across several people from the village. They were looking worried and I tried to calm them down.
"Do not worry Teyla and the team will protect us if anything is wrong" I said to them.
They nodded and I walked further on. I then ran to the control room once I felt something odd. That was when I saw Selin and Zarika were standing in the middle of the room with their eyes closed. Their light was emitting from their bodies and when I tried to run to them Colonel Sheppard stopped me.
"No stop" yelled Colonel Sheppard.
"Let me go I can heal him" I said loudly.
Zarika looked at me and shook her head. As I looked at her I saw a tear fall from her eyes. That was when I heard him scream followed by Zarika. They were being killed and there was nothing I could do. I was still struggling to reach them but Colonel Sheppard was stronger. He was holding me back and suddenly everything went slow and I saw Zarika and Selin both collapse to the ground. I held my hand out to try touch them at least but Colonel Sheppard was still holding me back. That was when I turned to him and I held my hand to his chest. He flew back and hit the wall pretty hard. I then ran to Selin and Zarika and I tried to wake them up.
"Please wake up" I begged.
I then closed my eyes and I struggled to heal them. My powers were fluctuating and yet I was persistent. When I opened my eyes I screamed out as loud as I could and that was when my powers activated. My hair began to float and I emitted a light from my hands. It covered Selin and Zarika and yet I did not feel their breath, I did not feel their heart beat, I felt nothing. I fell to one knee still trying to heal them but it was futile now. Tears were streaming down my cheeks and I tried my hardest to heal them but nothing worked. My breathing was laboured and I tried not to pass out . Tears were still streaming down my face but when I touched Selin's body and Zarika's as well my mind wandered to the memories I had of them and the fact that they were like my mother and father. I was now alone and afraid. I looked over to movement near the wall and I saw Colonel Sheppard slowly getting up. He looked at me and slowly walked over to me. I saw the pain in his eyes and yet I also saw the sadness as well. He looked at me and I tried to walk away but the energy I used to try and revive Selin and Zarika was to much and I almost collapsed. Before I could hit the ground I was caught by someone. When I looked that was when I saw Colonel Sheppard holding onto me. I saw the tears still running down his cheeks and when I looked around everyone was crying. My whole world was turning upside down and yet there was nothing I could do about it.
Colonel Sheppard got on his radio and he was trying to call a medical team but his voice kept cracking up. He then cleared his throat and demanded for a medical team. Next thing I knew I was whisked away from the bodies and I was being examined by the doctor. He was trying to hold back the tears. Several of them escaped and yet I did not care. If these people did not come to the city and ruin my life then my mother and father would be alive. If I was only stronger then I could have saved them. If Colonel Sheppard did not hold me back then I would have saved them. When I heard Teyla's voice coming from the door way I looked over at her and she was trying to get to me.
"Please let me see her" demanded Teyla.
"She needs rest she will be fine"
"She needs me" she said.
"Let her through" said Colonel Sheppard.
I looked at both of them and before Teyla could touch me I moved away from her. Why did she care now? Why did anyone care? I am just a child who will now be a burden to everyone. My powers are not that strong. Im to weak to go on missions and try help the people and it would probably be more effective if I were dead just like my family and my people.
"Akisa I'm sorry but there was nothing you could do" said Teyla.
I just shot her a look and I closed my eyes and held my knees to my chest. I thought about the happy moments that Selin, Zarika and I had before the team came and I thought about my life before everyone had to ruin it.
"Akisa please listen to me" said Teyla.
"Teyla now is not the time" said Colonel Sheppard.
When I looked at him I saw his arm was wrapped up and I looked at him. I closed my eyes again and I held my hand out near his arm. I used my powers to heal the wounds I caused him and he just nodded at me when I was done and walked away. Teyla just looked at me and that was when I saw Ronan run in as well. He was trying to check on me and trying to touch me but Colonel Sheppard stopped him.
"She just needs time that's all. She is fine" said Colonel Sheppard.
I then laid down and I looked at the wall. I was going to be forever alone now. My family, my people all gone. I was the last one and yet I could not be with them until I ascended. Tears still streamed down my cheeks and all I did was utter one word.
"Good-bye"
