CHAPTER ELEVEN

Present time …

Treehugger shuddered. Thinking about how she had gotten to this point hadn’t helped her at all, although she did feel drowsier than she had just a few moments ago. Her eyelids felt heavier, but at the same time, she found it hard to sleep, because that evil intelligence was still out there somewhere, even though she could no longer hear or feel it nearby. It had likely already passed her and would hopefully not come back this way in search of her, but something told Treehugger that she should stay here just a little while longer, because if she moved, she might attract the intelligence’s attention. Or the attention of something worse.

Once again, Treehugger looked at her suit-up watch. It still said ‘NO SIGNAL,’ making her feel depressed just by looking at it. She was so frustrated by the fact that she couldn’t contact anyone else due to the fact that she was not on Earth anymore. She had wanted her suit-up watch back so badly, but now that she actually had it, it was utterly useless. Not that she would get rid of it, of course, because it was still useful for telling the time and the like, but she wished that it could open dimensional holes now, instead of merely acting as a device for contacting people or as a way for her to conveniently summon her suit.

It’s hopeless, Treehugger thought, lowering her head onto her chest again. Darkness everywhere, strange creatures that have no right to exist out to get me, and I’m all alone, too. I might as well give up here. Not like I can save myself.

But Treehugger shook her head. She couldn’t allow herself to dwell on such negative thoughts. She remembered what Bolt had always taught her, about keeping a positive attitude even in the face of hopeless odds. She would just find a way home herself, she decided, no matter how long it took. Still, she didn’t think that thought with any real confidence; it was more like a resigned attitude, a little timid, because she was not certain that she would ever get home.

First, however, Treehugger ate some of the food pellets that she had found in her escape pod. They didn’t taste very good, but when she swallowed, she suddenly felt as full as if she had eaten a full meal. How that worked, she had no idea, but she was not one to question the advanced technology of the IEA. She just rose to her feet and peered out from between the boulders, looking this way and that, but not seeing any danger. Of course, the heavy darkness made it very difficult to see much, but Treehugger didn’t sense anything evil, either, which meant that the evil intelligence that she had fled was indeed long gone. She wondered if the evil intelligence was in some way connected to that … that thing she had seen in the tree trunk, the thing she didn’t like to think about.
