6. welcome...?

"What is the meaning of this?" Young's voice rang through the room.

Darren stepped up in front.

"Well sir, this is us coming through the gate with Easia and her pet... and a lot of meat, sir." He answered as he motioned to the chaos of deer behind him.

"I see that, Darren. What I mean is; why is there a tiger aboard this ship?" Young drawled, not appreciating Darren's joking voice.

"That, sir, is her pet. It seems to listen to her." Darren said, now standing straight.

"Yes" Eli interrupted "She seems to control it but it doesn't like guns."

"Well, forgive my scepticism but since when is a tiger not a threat anymore?" Young said, narrowing his eyes at the animal in question.

At that moment Rush barged into the gate room. He quickly assessed the situation and walked towards Eli and Easia, although he seemed a bit hesitant when the tiger laid eyes on him. Keeping a few metres between him and the beast he stood by them, not even aware of the spreading tension of Young or the Kino hovering behind him... or perhaps just not caring about either of them.

"Is this her?" was all he asked with twinkles of excitement in his eyes.

(Easia POV)

Grey-ish eyes met mine. The twinkles in the grey-ish ones made me cock my head. What was it that he wanted? Did he live here? I looked around and then back to the eyes. He seemed kind and very enthusiastic. Then I looked behind him and saw something hanging in the air. It was round and it moved sometimes. I had seen it before, following the one called Eli. I looked behind me and saw the huge ring of transportation. Then I saw a window and I walked towards it. I heard the others in the room talking and they pointed their guns at me. Eli then walked to me and asked me,

"Wa jetoe vinlet?"

I pointed at the window. I wanted to see outside. I told him but he didn't understand. The one with the grey-ish eyes nodded and talked to Eli and the others. They nodded and the grey-eyed one put a hand on my shoulder and guided me towards the window.

Billions of light passed by and were surrounded by purple hazes and black emptiness. I looked outside and saw the shields of the ship, colouring yellow. I saw the long foreside pointing out, I saw the wings behind us and I saw one of the turrets below the window. I turned around, looked at the grey-eyed person, at Eli and at Darren. My eyes crossed Tiger's and I knew that we had seen the same things. My face lit up and carefully I let my blue haze appear around me. Guns are pointed at me but it didn't bother me. I wouldn't attack and I trusted them to do the same. Tiger wasn't that sure and he came to stand before me. Suddenly the Kino came closer and pointed its lens at me. The walls around me became blue-ish too and slowly threads of blue were flowing throughout the room. I heard the others talking but I didn't care. I smiled and one word escaped my lips,

"Deotana".

The ship reacted immediately. A screen was lowered from the ceiling. I smiled as I saw all the images on it. One of them showed my face, one showed the whole room, one showed a pathway, another showed the engine room. They were all images from the Kino's flowing through the ship. The Kino closest to me flew to me and I held out my hand where it landed. I concentrated on it and my blue haze surrounded it completely. A thread of yellow, the same colour as the shields, formed between me and the Kino and I saw what it had seen. All sorts of images loaded in my mind. The yellow thread expanded and touched the next Kino, giving me its images too. Than it spread further to the next one and the next one.

(General POV)

Full of amazement the people in the room looked at the scenery in front of them. Never had they seen something like this and it frightened them. Guns were raised but there was uncertainty. Nobody knew what the girl was doing. Young stared at the panel where images started to twist and showed all kinds of footage, even things he didn't want to remember. He wasn't proud of some things he had done.

"Sir?" He heard one of the soldiers ask and he knew they wanted to know what to do. He would have given them reassurances, had he himself known what to do. Instead of returning an answer he looked at Rush, who stood just outside the haze, watching the girl. The scientist returned his look and lightly shook his head.

"All I can tell you is that she knows where she is." He answered. "When she saw the ship on the outside she said one thing: Deotana...or in English: Destiny." Rush explained.

"You're saying she has been here before." Young stated and Rush nodded.

"Yes. Destiny had a special reason to stop here, it seems." Rush answered.

One of the yellow threads linked with Eli's PSP and Eli immediately took it with two hands.

"Incredible..."he huffed.

Rush hurried to his side, and he too gawked at the device.

"Well, what is so…'incredible'?" Young asked impatiently.

Eli and Rush exchanged a glance. Eli decided to speak.

"Well, you see, a while ago we made a chat-application and now I have that on this PSP. The fact is that Destiny found out about that and has been contacting us sometimes. It had a request about a day ago. It wanted us to find Easia and so we did." Young looked from Eli to Rush and back.

"You mean that you've had a way to communicate with this ship and you didn't tell me?" Young spat. Eli scratched his neck.

"Well... yes".

"That's just - "Young started angrily, but he was interrupted.

"I told those two to tell you but they didn't listen" Easia said.

Everyone was silent immediately.

"You told them?" Young asked together with Rush and Eli.

"How do you know that?" Eli asked and Easia pointed at the PSP.

"And since when do you speak English?" Darren asked and that took a while to take in.

"He's right!" Eli exclaimed. "You didn't know English."

Easia nodded.

"Because this is not Easia, but Destiny." She answered. "I'm speaking through her using our energy waves."

"The yellow threads and the blue haze." Rush murmured.

"Right. I'm teaching her the basic things I know from you." Destiny informed.

"How is this possible?" Young asked, more to himself than anything, yet Easia turned towards him.

"The answer on that question is long and I believe that she has a story to tell on her own. Now I bid you farewell for now...I believe Easia wishes her body back." With that said the yellow threads disappeared and the blue haze went back to Easia, who almost fell. Not wanting to fall she clung to the first thing she found, that being Rush.

(Easia POV)

I felt dizzy and weak in my legs. I saw the ground coming closer and instinctively I sought something to hold on to. Then I felt somebody help me back up on my feet. I looked at my right hand which had snatched somebody's arm. I looked up and met the grey-ish eyes.

"Ssoorry?" It came out different then I had heard from the Kino but I figured they would understand me. The Kino had shown me a lot and Destiny had translated a lot of words but I had to search deep for the right ones. It was a bit hard but the soft look I got was worth the work. I slowly turned to the people in the room and nodded to them. "I a-am Easia." I stammered and they nodded too and told their names but there were too many. I hoped they would repeat it many times. The last one who spoke was the grey-eyed person that held me on my feet.

"Danura Easia, Metoe eta Nicolas Rush." He whispered and I had to smile. Though I could understand the language the people spoke, I liked my own language. It sounded soothing and inviting, better than the foreign language which I was adapted to.

"Mernts...Thanks" I whispered back. Why he was whispering? I wasn't sure but the other man - Young? - was talking and seeing the way he was acting, I guessed he was the boss around here - the Alpha.

Nicolas Rush brought me to a room together with Eli. Soon a woman joined us with a suitcase. She took a scanner and inspected me with it. Then she took a needle. Tiger, who had walked along with me and now sat in a corner, growled at this.

"Natha!" I said sternly and it laid its ears back and looked at me with an angry expression but it didn't growl anymore. The woman looked between me and the tiger but I nodded encouragingly. She came closer but before she could do anything I stopped her. I pointed at the needle and then at my arm. "he-here? hera...here?" I tried to get the word good. I saw her nod and I nodded too. I let the blue haze appear around my finger and touched the spot she wanted to set the needle. I saw them looking in confusion. I nodded again and motioned for the needle. The woman handed it to me and while I kept my finger on the spot I set the needle and drew blood. Then I gave the needle back and took my finger away. Immediately the wound healed. The woman noticed it and looked at it.

"Never have I seen someone heal that fast." She said.

I looked at my healed arm and raised my shoulders.

"Heal fast" I said and I saw the woman smile. "You need ... adirent?" Not knowing the word I switched to my own language. The woman looked at Eli and Nicolas Rush.

"Help, she asked if you need help." Eli said, translating the word.

"Help" I repeated and nodded. I pointed at myself. "Help you." The woman smiled.

"Thank you, Easia, but for now just rest." She said as she went to the door with the blood sample. As the door opened the guard greeted her with 'TJ' and so I call the woman TJ from now on.

review please... I really want to know your opinion!
