clouds wander through the sky

a breeze focuses its attention on the small flower

birds perch and sing

their song

waking up each petal

the frost will not thaw without them

Chapter 13

“Look how fast his eyes are, like, moving.” A female’s voice soaks into my bleary sleepy state.

“He’s struggling to stay one with himself,” says another female.

I’m groggy and can’t figure out why I’m hearing voices I don’t recognize. Am I dreaming?

Someone touches my forehead. “He’s, like, way hot.” Her hand feels like a block of ice against my blistering hot skin, catapulting me awake.

“What the hell’s going on?” I blink, trying to adjust my eyes to the dim light.

“Your ch’i is totally out of alignment. You have two energy systems fighting against each other,” says the girl with jet-black hair.

“Yeah, it’s like your vibrations are, like, all over the place.” The other girl has yellow hair and speaks with the high-pitched squeak of a five-year old.

Energy Seekers.

“What are you doing here?” I push away her hand. “Please stop touching me.”

There’s a circle of candles on the floor. The flames flicker across the faces of the two figures sitting cross-legged on my bed. Both girls have long stringy hair and the same starry-eyed look of all Energy Seekers.

“It’s okay, William. We’re overseeing you.” The girl with jet-black hair could be pretty if she didn’t have layers of ink smudged around her pale blue eyes.

“We’re, like, making sure your energy, like, gets back into one flow.” The girl with yellow hair hands me a bottle of water.

My throat is so parched, I chug it back in two gulps. “How’d you get in here?” I ask.

“Dru asked us to keep watch while they went out to search for fuel.” Jet Black gets up and holds a candle close to my face, examining my eyes. A drop of hot wax drips onto my cheek.

“Be careful with that thing.” I nudge her away and scoot to the edge of the bed. “How long have I been out?”

“A day and a night,” she says.

“What? That can’t be true.”

“You’ve been racing,” squeaks Yellow.

“What the hell’s that supposed to mean? I don’t speak Energy Seeker.” I’m too annoyed to be polite.

“That thing they, like, put inside you is, like, messing with your mind,” says Yellow.

“Yeah, no kidding.”

“Are you hungry?” Jet Black holds out a cheese sandwich packaged in one of those white plastic containers you’d find in a vending machine. The cheese has a tinge of mold around the edges, but I’m starving and wolf it down in three bites.

“Where’s Sarah?” I ask.

“She’s resting,” says Jet Black. “She’s been sick.”

“Is she okay?”

“Her heart is hurt,” says Yellow, looking at me with disapproval.

“Her vibrations are incredibly low.” Jet Black pats my face with a damp cloth.

I grab it and wipe off my own forehead. “Low vibrations?” I laugh. “You all are nuts, you know that?”

“Everything is energy, William, and I don’t like yours, like, at all.” Yellow gets off the bed and leaves the room, taking her upset vibrations with her.

Jet Black sits on the opposite bed.
