Chapter 5
I think I may have confused some people with Chapter 4…apologies…don't worry EVERYTHING will be explained. EventuallyJ
"Jadzia's voice is the one which you've been hearing?!!" Bashir could not believe this sudden break through from Ezri. Jadzia, dead for over a year was calling out for help. "Is she alive?" Ezri sat with her head buried between her knees. Julian walked over to behind where she sat and began to rub between her shoulder blades. He could feel the tension, he could sense her confusion. "I don't know exactly Julian, all the Prophet said was that Jadzia said she needed my help." Julian moved too where he could look her in the eye. "But they also metioned in this vision that Captain Sisko has returned and that he would help you." Ezri sighed ever since Sissko's disappearence it seemed as if any doubts that had been harboured against the existance of the prophets and their devine status had evaporated. But why would the Prohets be appearing to her in a vision, why would one talk the form of Jadzia, why was Jadzia in need of help? She let her head drop down to her knees once again. "I wish Benjamin were her." No sooner had the words left her mouth then the chim to the door sounded. Julian looked up at her. "Come in?" She called Qiuetly, feeling her voice shake. Through the doorframe came a figure no one had seen for three five months, someone who had mysteriously disappeared after plunging into the fire caves. "Ben!!!" Sisko greeted her with an embrace. "What are you doing here?" He withdrew from her arms, and starighed the top of his Starfleet uniform. Old man the Prophets have returned me to linear time, to discover the reprocussions of my actions. Ezri stared at him. "What?" Sisko sat down, "I don't know, I was told that I'd learn the true power of the Prophets, of what happens when I disobet them. What is it Old Man, whats wrong?" Sisko looked with concern at Ezri's pale face. "Ezri?" Bashir asked. It was all fallig into place for her; the cries of help, the promise of the Prophets to Sisko, Jadzia's appearance in her vision. "Ben, remember the attack against Cardassia?" Sisko nodded "When Jadzia was murdered?" Julian asked. She nodded. "The Prophets had warned you not to go Ben, they told you to say on DS9. Recently I've been hearing a voice in my head." Sisko narrowed his eyes"A voice?" Ezri continued, "A voice, calling for help. It sounded familiar, then I ahd a vision where a Prophet took the form of Jadzia.." "And that's who the voice belongs too."Sisko finished. He placed both of his hands over his face, it was all making sense to him: the voices Ezri heard, Jadzia's appearance in Ezri's vision, the Prophets promise of his impending lesson. "She's alive." He whispered. "She never died, it was all set up by the prophets, to teach me of their power." "But she did die, I pronounced her dead!" Bashir shouted with disbelief, he had become agitated and figety. "Are you saying she died by the will of the Prophets, for a demonstration of why they are not to be defied." Sisko couldn't balme him, he flt the anger as well, that the life of his best friend was only worth the value of a lesson the the Prophets. "Contact Worf," Siko began staring at the two shocked faces infront of him "Jadzia's out there, and she's alive."
