The next morning, I decided to move. The people are getting too suspicious and Sondra always told me about how if they get suspicious, you have to move. Quick.

I decided to go back to America. Not in Athens, but in Chicago. It's a nice place, crowded; full of people and that's why I chose it.

I started packing my backpack, making sure everything I need for survival is there.

I came across my Chest and started flipping through the contents.

It was all the same, really. I didn't know what any of them do so I decided to try them out.

I picked a glowing metal orb at random and began tossing it in my fingers.

It then started to grow bigger every time my hand passed through it. I kept tossing.

After a minute or two, it was now twice the size of my head. I still didn't know what it does so I tried tossing it at the wall.

It bounced from the wall and came crashing towards me but I duck at the last second.

It kept bouncing from the walls of either side of my room and it started emitting a blue fluorescent glow. I watched in awe as it got so big, it almost didn't fit in my crappy motel room.

After the bouncing has ceased, it just stood there, floating in midair. Then, it creaked open and showed a little room inside. Of course, I just had to go in.

The room looked very much like the ship the other Garde and I rode here to Earth. There was a chair in the middle with a control panel in front of it.

I sat down. It must have been for the driver of this space pod.

Right after I sat, the door closed as quickly as it opened. I was afraid that I was going to get stuck in that pod for life but then I realized that I can just break the whole pod in with my telekinesis.

I started playing around with the control panel; discovering that this button does that and that button does this. It was pretty cool.

I pushed a lever that was just below my seat and the pod started to move. A steering wheel appeared at the very middle of the control panel. I grinned and started turning the steering wheel, making the pod go in every direction I wanted. I pushed two or three more buttons and found out that this pod can also shoot lasers hot enough to melt my bedside drawer within seconds. Oops. I may have to pay for that.

I pushed yet another button and the pod was then covered in some sort of shield.

I kept pushing buttons after button, getting lost in the madness.

I found out more things about the pod:

It doesn't require fuel

It can turn invisible!

I was then convinced that I'll use this pod to get to Chicago.

I stepped out of my chair and when I got in front of the door, it automatically opened. This is the coolest thing ever.

I waltzed out, laughing hysterically but also feeling a sort of emptiness that only Sondra can enjoy. I sigh. I miss her. She was like a mother to me since I never actually got to be with my parents.

My reverie was interrupted by a loud, vigorous knock on the door.

"Miss! Are you going to answer this door or what?!" I hear from outside.

The manager. Oh no, not again!

I opened the door.

"What is wrong with you?!" he asks with a disgusted look on his face.

I shrug. I didn't know what he was talking about.

He sighs deeply and just walks away.

I guess that means I'm leaving whether I like it or not.

I continued packing my backpack and went outside my room.

I dropped the keys by the receptionist and paid my dues.

After that, I walked towards the back of the motel and started making the pod bigger and bigger again. Luckily, no one had witnessed what I have just done.

I stepped inside. And steered away.
