understand his reply.
“I am looking for you – you are the key,” he walked towards me and stood right in front of me.
“I am so glad that I found you,” he whispered in my ears and I couldn’t understand why he said that. I didn’t even know Mike! None of it was making sense.
Before I could realize that I was in trouble, I felt a strong sensation across my legs that quickly reached my spine and floated to my brain. I closed my eyes without my will and fell into his arms.
Chapter Three
I opened my eyes and found myself on the beach. The sun was shining bright and the cloudless sky smiled back at me. The ocean waves looked clear and almost milky white, they were too pure and good to be true. Everything around me was too good to be true. It was not the same beach that I visited last night; in fact, it was not a real beach at all, as I quickly noticed another sun, which was dark red in color shining in the opposite direction.
I stood up and saw Mike standing near me. I walked towards him and tried to confront about everything. I couldn’t remember the entire night and wanted to know what happened.
“Where are we? Who are you? What did you do to me? Why don’t I remember the last night?” I bombarded my long trail of questions at Mike.
“One question at a time, Sophia,” he calmed me down and touched my shoulder. I felt his fingertips doing some kind of magic to me, as I could feel his energy on my skin that penetrated through my being.
“How do you know my name?”
“Because you are the key,” he replied innocently and looked at me. I couldn’t stop to admire his gorgeous face.
“What does that mean? Where are we? Take me home, please!” I pleaded. I knew that I wasn’t home and wanted to go back.
“Sit back and listen, please!” and with that we both sat on that beautiful beach that reflected the deep red sun.
“I am not from Earth. I am from some other planet – far away from your galaxy,” he said, looking right at me and I knew that he wasn’t lying. I was right; he was too good to be real.
“Is this a dream?” I asked him. He brought his lips nearby and touched my face. He held my face in his arms like the creator would hold the moon and kissed me softly. I felt a strong sensation and felt unexpectedly nice. I wanted more.
“Does it feel like a dream?” he asked. It was anything but a dream. I could feel him and his touch. It wasn’t a dream.
“Tell me everything then. Everything from the start!” I demanded and opened up my brain. I wanted to prepare myself for almost anything that could exist in the world and beyond.
“I am from Skia, a land similar to Earth. Skia follows a very strict bifurcation of the society. It is believed that everyone in our land is born with some or other kind of power and some or the other kind of work is allocated to every individual on the basis of the power they attain. For example, I can control things with my touch. I can make anyone go unconscious; can create fire, change energy or mood with my touch. Since my power could be of a great use in war, I was allocated to become a soldier by the high power,” he said and smiled. That was the first time when I saw something in his eyes – it was a sense of pride and happiness. He was almost proud of his powers.
“It was believed that almost two million years ago, there was a huge Dead pool in our race. An unexpected disease was found to exist in our race, which caused some thousands of babies to be born without any power. They couldn’t do anything or fit anywhere in the society. The disease was immediately treated by our scientists, but we didn’t know what to do with those kids. They could not exist in our society. We have always known that the atmosphere of Earth is similar to ours and they would survive on Earth without any artificial support. Since the high power didn’t want to kill them, they abandoned them and left them to Earth with a very heavy heart. And that is how your race
