Jason>
I stood surrounded by blinding white light. I heard voices softly whispering around me. I moved forward and saw a figure in a long white gown standing a few feet away. I couldn't make out who it was until they turned.
"M-Mom?"
She shook her head sadly. "Oh Jason, why?"
"I'm sorry Mom, but I just couldn't take it... I cracked."
"My time was over, I had to leave," she said.
"No! Visser One murdered you, he took you from us. It's wasn't fair!"
"That's why you have to fight, to keep this from happening again. They need you. Stacey needs you now more than ever. If you won't fight for them then fight for me."
I didn't want to fight but I had to avenge her and Stacey. I decided to continue in my battle for freedom until I either brought her killer to justice or destroyed him. The light around me began to fade.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"It's not your time. Give your father and everyone my love."
"Don't leave me again Mom!"
"I never did. I'm always with you and always will be, remember that."
She faded and my lifeforce slowly returned. Everything was a blur as I opened my eyes and looked around. There was someone sitting next to me but I couldn't tell who it was. I blinked a few times to adjust my eyes and saw... Visser One!
"AAAAHH!" I screamed.
She put her hand over my mouth. "Calm down it's me," she said and took her hand away.
"Stacey? Is it really you?"
"I've heard of playing hooky but aren't you overdoing it just a little?"
"Man it's great to see you! How'd you escape?"
"David."
"What?"
"I'll explain later, you just get some rest. I'll come by later," she said as she stood and left.
I laid my head back on the pillow and closed my eyes. My sister was
back, but she was far from safe. The Yeerks would be looking for her and
it was only a matter of time before they found her.
