Colin’s forehead began to glow, and the area around his head turned violet.
‘We have to get back to work,’ he said.
Instantly, all the Wymasirians’ foreheads began to glow and the spaces around their heads also turned violet.
They all stood up and suddenly looked very powerful – superhuman, radiant and beautiful from beyond the body.
Kelly was mesmerised.
Justine spoke, authoritatively ‘Kelly. You have a number of choices at this point; you can either join us, begin a new life, or go back to your old one. We have work to do, and unfortunately, we cannot spend too much time trying to protect you. It’s impractical, and we’re not in the position to do so, what do you wish to do?’ She asked, gently.
Kelly sensed this was a big decision, that she didn’t have the time to think about, and felt overwhelmed.
‘What will happen if I choose to go back to a normal life?’
‘We can give you currency and you’ll be able to start anew,’ said Carissa.
‘Will I remember any of this?’
They all nodded.
‘Can’t you erase my memory?’
Trevor stepped forward and looked at her ‘erasing your memory will create gaps in your life, and this will tamper with your evolution, its not our place to do that.’
Kelly didn’t understand what he meant, but this wasn’t the time for questions, except the most important one: ‘What if I decide to join you, what will happen to me? I don’t have your abilities, won’t I be a liability?’
Warren took her hand and led her to the circle they had begun forming, and a haze of violet fog appeared around them, the scene began to change from the penthouse sitting area, to limbo; a white nothingness.
Seconds later, they were in a very large room, a mansion, actually, but with no walls to separate the rooms, and no furniture – just a vast, open, empty space.
‘Where are we?’ Asked Kelly.
The Wymasirians began rushing around, doing things she couldn’t understand.
‘We need to get you out of the danger,’ said Warren, taking her hand and following Colin and Trevor.
Kelly caught a glimpse out of a window and stared in amazement.
It occurred to her that she was seeing the true potential of these aliens for the mansion was situated where nobody could see it; at the end of Bethnal Green Road, where the East London Line’s planned extension was, for Bishopsgate Station.
Warren spoke, interrupting her thoughts.
‘Carissa will perform the healing, so she’ll stay with you...Kelly, are you sure you want to do this?’ He asked.
‘What healing? Do what?’ She frowned.
This attracted all the Wymasirians to her.
‘You need to be able to move around with us, do what we do, and you can’t do that whilst you’re limited like you are,’ said Colin.
Kelly nodded, but then registered what he had just said.
‘You mean I can be like you?’ she asked, interested.
‘Yes... in a way. It’s called DNA Activation.’
