TRUE DIMENSIONS
All characters belong to S.M. and twilight, but the plot is all me…
CHAPTER ELEVEN
TWO PLACES AT ONCE
Still the Earth Dimension.
I walked into the house and sat down on the sofa and stared at Billy. He looked at me and muted the television.
"Did you get them settled in?" he asked.
"Yes, yes, I did, what's going on dad?" I asked waiting on an answer about the Swan's.
"Son…I truly am sorry, I really did forget to tell you they were coming," he said, and I knew he meant it.
"What's the deal with them? What's with them meeting with Tatika?" Is it something with Bella being a seer?" I asked confused.
"Son… it's much more than that and it's nothing that the Chief of the burns reservation told me or what Tatika has told me, I'm not sure what is going on yet, but I have read something's from our hall of history and I haven't put everything together yet, I'm missing something, I don't know what it is yet, but I will find it, it will just take time," he told me.
"Is there something coming? Something I need to train the pack for?" I asked starting to worry. Every time dad or someone says they don't understand something or dad starts talking about our history and he says he doesn't know if something is coming, it usually means something or someone is coming then someone shows up with powers or an army and tries to kill everyone, I put my head in my hands, "man and it was so quiet around here too," I said, shaking my head.
"I'm not sure yet son…please just give me some time," he said as he flipped off the television and rolled himself into his room.
I sat there looking around the room, thinking to myself, "damn, I was going to ask him about Bella," I said to myself, "well I guess It will wait until morning," I continued, I got up and locked both door switched off the light and walked into my room and closed the door, fell on the bed and drifted off to sleep.
"Changing Dimensions" Back to the Ertha dimension.
Jake helped me out of the car and into the house and made sure I was comfortable on the sofa, he asked if he could get something for me before settling on the sofa next to me.
He hadn't asked me about what had happened while I was on my so called quest to a different dimension, he said it scared the life out of him when I collapsed and was more so when they couldn't wake me up, and told him I was in a coma, and that I showed no brain waves once at the hospital, he told me they asked him all sorts of questions about what had happened prior to my collapse, he told them nothing had happened, that we were having a good time until I become dizzy and passed out.
He said he racked his brain going over minute by minute of our time at the festival with no prevail. He told me that the doctors told him that if nothing got any better and if I didn't show any brain waves within a couple of days that he needed to think about shutting down the machines that were keeping me alive, as his body shuddered at the thought.
He thought his dad had lost his mind the next morning when he came up to him and told him where my mind was and how it got there, and what we had to do to get me back. But when the remedy worked that Billy had concocted out of one of the herbs he had at the house, is when he finally believed what Billy had told him.
Billy had lots of herbs locked for safe keeping in one of the drawers in his kitchen, Billy was the only one with the key, and he wondered if someone had broken into the house to get that herb, he checks to see if the lock had been jimmied and found it still intact and seen that it hadn't been messed with. Then only to worry that someone out there had the knowledge of herbs and how they worked.
The only person he even knew that had that knowledge besides himself was Leah and Tatika, who was training Leah to be an herbalist, and our next medicine woman, Leah was a seer, a sort of medicine woman in practice, she seen things that would come and used her magic to find the best way to handle the circumstances and she was very closed mouthed as Tatika was until they knew how to handle anything they might see that was to come. Leah was also one of the pack, but even Sam wasn't allowed to order her to tell him any information until confirmed by Tatika.
Jake reached down and grabbed my hands and held them in his, they disappeared in his huge strong hands as he rubbed soft circles on the back of them as he looked at me.
"Is there really a different world out there that runs parallel to us?" he asked quizzically. I looked at him and nodded my head.
"I guess there is," I chuckled softly," I wouldn't have believed it either only… thing just didn't add up the way they should have," I told him. He wrinkled his brow confused.
"What do you mean didn't add up?" he asked as Billy rolled up and listened to our conversation wondering about what had happened himself. "I mean you all were there, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference, if things I asked you… I mean things weren't so different, I wouldn't have even known I was in a different place," I told him. He shook his head again still confusion.
"What do you mean different?" he asked as Billy leaned in to hear my explanation. I looked at both before I started telling them everything and I felt very un at eased to tell them the story, not because of them and that they were there but at the thought of me… or the other me being dead in that dimension. I swallowed hard and closed my eyes then opened them and looked at both men sitting in front of me before beginning.
"It seems that I… or the other me in that dimension had died," I told them, I felt very weird saying that I was dead when I was sitting right in front of them. Jake only raised one eyebrow in wonder, but what bothered me was Billy's realization to what I had said. His face turned almost blue with shock, his eyes grew large and began to breath rapidly, Jake turned to him and asked him if he was alright, he nodded his head and began to move his chair and look around the room as he was hunting for something then began to yell.
"I got to go and I got to go now!" he yelled, rolling over and grabbing his wallet and keys from the table and stuffing them into his shirt pocket then he rolled into his room and when he returned he had some books on his lap and a note book that laid on top of the books, he rolled as fast as he could to the door.
"Dad…what's wrong? Where are you going?" Jake asked as he rolled by. Billy only looked at us a second, before saying anything.
"I have to check something out, I'll be in the hall of history if you need me," he said fumbling with the door to try to open it. Jake got up and walked over to him to help him with the door.
"Dad…what is it?" Jake asked seeing that Billy was in a state of stress and knowing that something was wrong.
"I'm not sure yet, but I have to check something out," he said looking up to Jake and then stopped and looked back at me and then to Jake once more, "Jake, don't let her out of your site, do you understand?" he asked then rushed out the door before Jake had a chance to reply. Billy kept a fold away wheelchair in the cab of his truck so he could go places and didn't have to heave his wheelchair with him every place he went. His truck was set up with a gas and brake mechanism on the steering wheel to aid with his handicap that Jake had mounted for him.
"Dad…what's that suppose to mean," Jake yelled at him as Billy pulled himself into his truck and slammed the door and rolled the window down and looked back at Jake.
"I'm not sure yet, I have to check it out first, keep an eye on her," he said, knowing that Jake would without waiting for an answer. "I'll talk to you about it later" he said and took off. Jake turned and looked back at me before closing the door and walking back to the sofa and sat down next to me.
"What was that all about?" I asked surprised at Billy actions.
"I have no idea, but it must have something to do with the situation at hand," he said looking a little worried. He looked back at me as his face softened, as he continued asking me questions about the other world.
"So…The Lizzy of that world is dead?" he asked with a sigh.
"Yeah…and when I ran to you… or him I should say, but I thought it was you and jumped into your arms…his arms," I corrected myself once again "at the beach, he looked at me as if he were seeing a ghost, but in a way, I guess he truly was," I told him with a chuckle.
"Wait…you jumped into his arms?" he asked, acting a little jealous.
"Jake, I thought it was you," I told him; he nodded his head but frowned and tried to hide his jealousy.
"What else did you do with him when you thought it was me?" he asked coming up a bit short with his question and looking across the room. I grabbed his hand and put my other hand on his chin and moved his face to look at me.
"Jake…this wasn't my fault, I was confused at first, when I passed out I was in Forks with you at the festival, when I woke up I was at home in my bed in Florida, it was an hour later the same day, at first I thought I had dreamed this all, dreamed about you, but it just seemed so real, and when I called Billy he didn't know who I was, he kept saying that Lizzy was dead, so I flew back to Forks and went to your house but no one was there so that's why I went to the beach, I was hoping you would be there I didn't see you at first but then I saw you and Paul walking on the beach a good ways from me, when I realized it was you I ran for you, I was so happy to see you, but later I found out it wasn't you, well…it was you but not my Jake," I told him. He looked at me and smiled.
"You're Jake, Lizzy?" he asked just above a whisper.
"My Jake," I repeated as he reached down and softly kissed my lips passionately. He pulled me on his lap and I rested my head in the crook of his neck and told him about what the other Billy said and how he had to come here to tell him about what was going on so I could come home where I belonged and the rest he knew. We sat there like that for what seemed like forever and I fell asleep in his arms, when I awoke I was on my bed and I could hear voices in the other room, I swung my feet off the side of the bed and followed the voices to find Jake and his dad in the living room talking. I walked over to them and sat down next to Jake who wrapped his arms around me and pulled me too him.
"Did we wake you up honey?" he asked, I shook my head.
"No, I didn't hear your voices until I was awake, what's going on?" I asked them. Billy looked at me then at Jake like he wanted Jake to tell me what they were talking about. Jake looked at his dad and sighed.
"I guess, dad has been trying to find these journals, Journal's that evidently my great-grandfather and great-grandmother had wrote during their time, he said there was a mention of them in one of the journals of the herbalist that lived back then, but he can't seem to find them, he feels that there's something in those journals that will explain what had happened to you, he thinks that with you going to a different dimension it may have caused a rip in the fabric of time, he needs those journals to prove his beliefs and that the council won't do anything about it unless they have proof, although Billy is the head Elder and the chief of the tribe, they still need to have an unanimous vote to find a solution for this problem," Jake told me but sounded a little skeptical.
"And you don't think that will happen? Or could happen I should say?" I asked him.
"I guess it could but I don't see it happening," he told me. "And what if it did happen, what are we going to do about it, I mean really dad, were wolves not magicians," he said. Billy looked down at the floor and was lost in thought, I looked over at Jake as he kissed me on the forehead.
"I better see about fixing us some dinner," I told them as I got up and headed for the kitchen.
"You need some help?" Jake asked, I turned and smiled at him, "I got it, you just stay and spend time with your dad," I told him as I went to the kitchen and started dinner. I overheard Jake and his dad talking about they needed to find out how that herb got into my system. I walked across the room and stood at the door frame leading into the living room from the kitchen and I talked to them from across the room.
"The other Billy seemed to think it was in the Lemon aid that Jake and I drank at the festival" I told them. They looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders and returned to my work in the kitchen. I looked up as Jake walked into the kitchen and stared at me.
"I drank some of that juice to Lizzy, and it didn't affect me," he said confused.
"Yeah, but the other Billy seemed to think that whoever did it just dropped it into one of the cups and removed it before they handed it to you," I told him. He stood there thinking with a wrinkled brow.
"I think we should drop in on Harry and see what he thinks of all this, maybe he'll have some idea's," he said as he walked over to the phone and dialed Harry's number.
