I'm not particularly inspired at the moment. I was going over previous-ness and realized it was very choppy because I was throwing in the descriptions for yall... sowwi :)
Kaigii stared down at the floor. Visions? Tim couldn't be serious, could he? Maybe I could be going insane, reasoned Kaigii. That's not unlikely. Oh dear.. I hope that doesn't happen. And yet... What a relief it might be. Kaigii shook her head.
"Thinking bad thoughts?" Tim rummaged.
"You would know."
"I didn't need to use ESP to tell you're feeling bad."
Kaigii waved her hand at him. "Don't worry about it."
"I do worry," Tim said. Kaigii felt startled by his openess, and quickly changed the subject.
"I hope you don't mind me asking, but-" Kaigii sighed. "Do any of you know what is going on with this training place for us?"
"You mean the rocket training center," Clarified Jamie. "Actually, the original intention was that we'd fight each other, but the Rockets are awfully slow, so it may take them a while before they realize they need to do the training themselves."
"Do you think they'll starve us?" Asked Becca.
"I doubt they would risk us, I mean, they want to train us?"
"Sure they would, Kaigii... If anything happens to us, they can always try again."
"I hope not," Said Jamie. "I hope nothing happens to us."
Kaigii felt putout. Everyone here, these new friends, they all seemed to be at the ends of their hope. They would accept their fate of death if it meant escape from reality. Kaigii shuddered at the thought.
"I won't become like that, will I?" She asked herself. "Will I, too, give up hope?"
"It's not that they've lost hope," Tim's voice rang through her head. "They just have lost the will to rebel."
Kaigii looked around. Where was Tim?
"I'm talking in your mind so no one else can hear," Tim explained.
"Okay," Kaigii directed her thought to him. "Will we ever be free? Is there a way to escape?"
"Not for a while, anyway," Tim said with confidence, and then remained silent, and Kaigii felt his presence was gone.
Kaigii stifled a laugh. That conversation was really strange!!
"ATTENTION ALL EXPERIMENTS," A loud speaker boomed, breaking Kaigii's balance and making her fall over in surprise.
"ALL EXPERIMENTS, REPORT TO THE ENTRANCE FOR YOUR TRAINING TO COMMENCE. TRAINING BEGINS IN PRECISELY 29 MINUTES AND YOU HAVE 19 MINUTES TO GET HERE. THAT IS PLENTY ENOUGH TIME. IF YOU DO NOT SHOW UP, THEN YOU WILL NOT RECIEVE MERCY."
Kaigii decided she didn't want to take the chances. From the faces of everyone else, it seemed that they had made the same decision.
It seemed the loud speaker had no more announcements to make.
Tim suddenly appeared in front of Becca.
"Everybody grab hands. We're going to port right near the entrance so that the Rockets don't know I can teleport yet."
"Don't you think they have Video cameras?" Asked Kaigii. Everyone was looking at her. "They have them, I'm sure. If they see you teleport one of us, that's not too dangerous. But if they see you can teleport all of us, well... we lose what may be a major advantage on our behalf."
It was silent for a moment. "That's a good point. Alright. Let's walk there. We have 19 minutes." Tim looked at Kaigii, and winked.
Kaigii blushed, and the group began their march towards the entrance, to begin training... and what a long walk it would seem to be.
