Chapter 54
When her eyes opened again she was standing over her body.
"Oh mama!"
"Your mother had nothing to do with your enhanced abilities"
She spun to the voice behind her and saw the same apparition she'd been chasing, only this time it had more humanly features: long dark blonde hair, blue eyes, sharpish features, tall and lean.
Blinx stared her down in silence for a moment before even considering a reply.
"What's that supposed to mean? Did you know my mother?"
"Your mother on Earth, no. Your mother here, not personally. She found me, seeking advice regarding you, your family and The Atmos" The Oracle replied "I provided her with the means to send you to safety and to erase your memories"
"So, you can give them back?!" Blinx asked with excited anticipation. She was disappointed when The Oracle shook her head.
"I cannot. Only you can regain your memories and they will come over time"
"Well then, can you explain to me what's happening here?" Blinx gestured to her lifeless body on the dusty floor "I'm not gonna stay like this forever, am I?"
The Oracle laughed lightly, the sound quite pleasant to the ear "This is simply another of your many abilities. It is called Projection. This particular time you are projecting yourself onto the same plane as I am on"
"I'm not gonna die, am I?"
The Oracle laughed again and replied with a simple "No" making Blinx sigh in relief.
"You said we had things to discuss. What exactly do you mean?"
"I mean, you have questions and I have answers"
"Then let's get started!"
P.O.V. Change (Forty-Five Minutes Before)
Finn awoke from an overly pleasant dream and was glad at that point that he had his own room. He cursed under his breath as he changed his pants. He hadn't had a problem like this in a long while, but back then he'd had someone older he could talk to.
It'd involved a girl, he knew that much, but he couldn't remember exactly who she was.
There was a loud bang on his door and Junko screamed something through the it he didn't quite catch.
He ignored Junko, deciding that he'd ask him later what it was he'd been yelling about, right now…maybe he could have a quiet talk with Stork…maybe…
