Chapter Three:
October 1, 2013
“Jeannie, it’s me, ” I say in a firm hushed tone as she turns her head to the sound of my voice.
October 2, 2013
Jean smiles at me with warmth but something is missing, and I want so much to believe that this is real and that we are all together again; safe and happy.
October 3, 2013
Alvin who has been still (which is highly uncharacteristic of him) suddenly pulls on his leash and brings me forward with a jerking motion, as we are now within touching range; my heart almost stops and I gasp aloud.
October 4, 2013
Suddenly I hear the sweet soft voice of my sister “Grace” telling me “Do not worry” as my mind spins confused; I do not know what to say as I just stand there close enough to smell their scents.
October 5, 2013
I can hear Alvin sniffing, and as I turn my head to see what is happening he has jumped up on Edward’s legs wanting attention, and the reaction is startling.
October 6, 2013
“Please stop”, I yell at Edward, as I dive toward them.
October 7, 2013
Edward had reached down and pulled Alvin up by his harness holding him tightly in a football hold; as my poor boy whimpered, and all the while squirming to get away.
October 8, 2013
I was only a few seconds behind Alvin as I went tumbling through the air, and much to my surprise landing in Jack’s arms.
October 9, 2013
All of a sudden I realize that other than the few words that I have uttered in the minutes that I have been surrounded by my siblings; that not one of them has spoken a word; how odd.
October 10, 2013
I now remember that Grace had told me “not to worry” but did I actually hear her speak those words, and in between the noise and confusion in my head, I hear my Alvin whimpering as he wants to get down.
October 11, 2013
At this very moment, I really do not know what to do; screaming for help will not do me much good, and besides they are my family even though I have a funny feeling they are not from here or maybe it is that I am not from here.
October 12, 2013
This just seems so surreal, and in the moments that pass I am unsure and slightly frightened by all that is happening but I do know one thing for sure – I have to rescue Alvin from his hold and soon.
October 13, 2013
In the next moment, I decide to speak to “my siblings” perhaps I can get the Edward to let Alvin down so that he will not be frightened, and as I think about it; Edward releases Alvin who runs to my side.
October 14, 2013
Everything seems to be happening so fast and so slow all at once … I am grateful that Alvin is once again safe near me.
October 15, 2013
I must do something, and then suddenly without warning I hear all their voices invading my mind, and then one at a time telling me all is well and that you are safe here, but where is “HERE?
October 16, 2013
I certainly feel like screaming my head off but that definitely is not the answer and, as I have been so preoccupied with Alvin and the “siblings”, I have not noticed that the fog has already lifted considerably and I can now see what is ahead of us.
October 17, 2013
The colour and the clean lines take my breath away, and as the siblings steer us toward the building, I wonder, “Is it a building?”
October 18, 2013
Then I hear their voices each climbing over the other as they try to answer my question.
October 19, 2013
One by one and layer by layer I uncover what they are saying and yes, it is a building; it is where everyone gathers when they arrive here; “HERE” ….
October 20, 2013
Worried feelings enter my body, and I tremble slightly trying not to let these enter my thoughts as I know they will hear them and where is this place; how far have I travelled?
October 21, 2013
I have no idea what to do, nothing is familiar other than Alvin, do I run, will that do any good, what kind of arrival station is this?
October 22, 2013
Slowly, and with reluctance I follow my escorts, and of course, Alvin is right by my side (which is unusual for him) as we near the entrance to this place.
October 23, 2013
Approaching the entrance to the building each of my escorts falls into line with me and Alvin being in the middle, and as we enter the archway to the interior of the building I feel a strange energy raining over us; leaving me feel oddly clean and warm.
October 24, 2013
Alvin shakes as if he has been in the bath and oddly enough I feel as though droplets of water are hitting me with his every shake, am I going crazy?
October 25, 2013
Suddenly I realized what was happening each thought that was I was having was physically coming true, and for Alvin as well …. the water …. it all is starting to make a weird kind of sense to me.
October 26, 2013
So that being the case we truly are not on our planet or at least not on the same plane of existence ,so now what; I am starting to feel a sense of hopelessness but at the same time a sense of intrigue fills my mind.
October 27, 2013
As I begin to look around and take in our our new surroundings I notice how clean and void of bright colours things things seem to be; and there is something about the silver, white, pale blue colours that is refreshing and almost healing.
