CHAPTER 13
We left. The hardest thing for someone to do is leave. I knew that, and she will know that. We went back to the nursery.We looked at the baby counterparts of my sister and me again. Then a nurse took me, but she never came back for Tabitha.
"But why? Why did she leave me?" she sobbed.
IT WAS I.
"The Ellimists?" the air around us stopped. Babies in mid cry were like still pictures.
I TOLD HER THE SAFETY OF THE WORLD AND THE HUMAN RACE DEPENDED ON HER TAKING ONE NOW, AND THEN TAKING ONE LATER.
"And she believed you?" I asked.
IT WOULD SEEM LIKE IT. IT WAS HER CHOICE.
"But why?" I asked.
"Isn't it obvious? If we had both gone, you would not have been what you call a bully magnet...maggg. net. Then you would have not met Jake, then your father, who gave you this power." Ax said.
"So all this was so that I could be… well what I am?" I said being weary of Tabitha.
NOT JUST YOU TOBIAS, BUT ALSO TABITHA. NOW A CHOICE MUST BE MADE.
We were then put back at the exact moment where we left at dinner. I heard someone come in the door.
"My mother!" Tabitha said in alarm.
"It's ok," I answered. "She doesn't know us." She came in. Looking a little different then I had remembered. Older mostly.
"Hi Tabitha! Guests, I see? Well, I just stopped by for this," she grabbed a letter. "I need to get back to the office." she walked behind me, then looked at me strangely.
"You... you look… hmm, too much coffee I guess." She went back out the door. Tabitha looked around before smiling and stretching, "Ax, your friends?
They are here too?"
Ax smiled. "Yes, Tabitha, my niece."
"Then may I tell them a story?"
