Chapter 12

Luc looked around the area in which he suddenly found himself. He realized he now stood outside the front of the cabin. A small window through which light exited caught his attention.

He felt a strong desire to look in the window and tried to walk toward the light. Though he felt his legs moving, he stayed exactly where he was. He felt helpless, and then an idea occurred to him. If he couldn’t physically walk, maybe he could will himself to move.

He focused on the panes of glass, willing himself to move to them. He drifted effortlessly up to and just outside the small window. He gazed into the cabin and saw two people kneeling on the floor over someone. It was him. For some reason it didn’t seem odd. He simply accepted it.

The thought occurred to him that he had to find Kelly and Stuart. He spun around and away from the window and pictured their faces again. He willed himself to go to them. He began moving away from the cabin, past the pickup, then out over the trees and into the depths of an incredibly lonely night.

He moved toward the illumination of the village and observed how sharp and clear the pinpoints of the street and building lights were. He was seeing more clearly than he had ever before, no twinkling lights this night.

He moved northward and passed the airport and continued moving out over the tundra, faster and faster. He looked up and saw the perfectly round sphere of the moon. He had never seen it so sharp, so empty, and so cold.

He moved at the speed of thought along the dirt road that led from the village to the hunter’s campground and then into the rift between the western and eastern mountains. Something was pulling him, directing him. He simply let it happen.

He recognized the long narrow trough area where he had found the boy and saw the ATV lying on its side. Moving past it, he flew up the steep side of the mountain that led to the V-shaped peaks. He moved across its top and then down the other side.

At the bottom, he saw a waterfall crashing into a lake. He hovered over the water for a moment then began following a river that emptied the water from the lake and flowed into a valley.

The river split and he was drawn to the left, farther and deeper into the valley. To each place he was drawn, an image seemed to be indelibly burned into his mind.

He slowed and found himself hovering over the edge of a river and looking up a bank and into a forested area. He felt the irresistible urge to enter into the trees and began moving toward them.

He felt himself drawn into the forest. As he moved through the trees, he pushed against, then passed through their branches, feeling only the slightest sensations of resistance.

He broke out of the forest and entered into a clearing. Resting at the edge of the clearing was the helicopter.
