Chapter Seven

Joanna - 21st Century AD - New Planet

That was the first time I used the gift that the man gave me, but it wasn't the last.

I soon found out that I could control anything around me, and the effect of that made me feel dizzy with power.

So after killing Tlalli and the men, I left the area and set about doing as much damage as I could.

The thing was Tlalli had looked at me with horror. She had said she would never be my mother.

And for that, the world had to pay.

But now I find myself not in the position of the hunter, not in the position of the one that hurts others, but trapped, and alone with the knowledge that no one would rescue me, no one would care about my predictament, and not just that, they wouldn't know because the Spove have created another me, and she is about to go out and cause all sort of havoc in my name.

And if anyone is going to create havoc in my name, then it is going to be me.

I try to push my body out of the cacoon, but it's woven tightly around me.

And every time I move, it gets a little tighter.

'You are going to be so sorry when I get out of here,' I spit.

But there is no one to hear me.

I am alone.

And trapped.

But I have been alone and trapped before, and I still survived.
