CHAPTER 12

Back at the chalet, I ran into Doctor Alexander.

“How was your stroll?” he asked.

“Good. If you need me, you’ll find me on the porch. I have a book to finish.”

I actually had a book with me, and I took it outside, where I sat reading and enjoying the fine air. It was very soothing to sit in a silence only broken now and then by the sound of a cow bell. Every ten minutes or so I opened my mind and listened in to Doctor Alexander, but he had nothing new to share with me. His mind was actually pretty unpleasant to probe, and poking around in it felt like wading knee deep in smelly, murky water. Still, I had to be alert to any development that could be dangerous to me, so I had to spend some time there.

I didn’t need telepathy to tell me when grub was ready—a delicious smell made my tummy rumble, so I closed my book and went inside. We had lunch, and the doctor insisted that I eat everything on the menu, which I did happily, since walking outside had made me famished. Doctor Alexander kept fawning over me throughout lunch, asking me how I liked this or that, and had I had enough of the other stuff, which was creepy. It felt like he was fattening me up for the slaughter.

“Will you stop mothering me?” I exploded after a while. “You’re not a damn hen looking after her chick.”

That man had the skin of an elephant. Instead of being offended and getting mad, as he should have, he simply said that tonight would be my first full-time telepathic connection, and I had to keep my strength up.

After lunch, I went outside again, but couldn’t bring myself to continue reading, so I spent time gazing at a cow and trying in vain to get into its head. I did that for quite some time, but since the afternoon had become chilly, I walked back inside and up to my room to take a rest.
