Chapter 8
Alisha looked calm as she lay in Maeve and Aaron's bed while everyone around her was in a huff. She had insisted that her magic would be easier if she did it in a place 'saturated' by Nathalia. That's how she'd said it too. Saturated! Of course she wasn't talking about their Abbess' death, but her life. She had lived in this room, but she had died here too. It made Maeve and Libby sick to hear such course disregard for their experiences. They had seen Nathalia's death but Alisha didn't believe them. There were a few women who followed her. They were the ones preparing the room for her ethereal projection.
There were few Peregrinus that lived past the age of consent. Alisha had almost died herself when she traveled for the first time. She had left her body at the moment of her first climax. She was so fascinated with the experience that she took too long to come back. When in this separated state, it was hard to feel any emotions whatsoever. She only lived because the man she was with was a paramedic. She calmly watched as Steven performed CPR and tried to resuscitate her lifeless body.
She only rejoined herself because he was moving to call 911. She didn't want that complication. Even in her altered state she knew that the authorities would cause her problems. They would try to stop her, and she couldn't allow that. She knew that she would try this again and again. So, she climbed back inside her body and told him to calm down.
It was only then that she felt the fear. Only then did she realize the magnitude of what had happened. Her autonomic nervous system had completely shut down. No heart beat, no breathing, no oxygen enriched blood pumping through her. She shook for an hour after that and even allowed her date to take her to the ER for a check up.
Alisha looked confident, but inside she was still a little afraid. She didn't have as much control over her ethereal self as she led everyone to believe. She could give herself a task before her pilgrimage, but couldn't be sure she wouldn't take several detours before coming back.
Finding the sisterhood was truly a gift from the Great Mother. They understood her skill and had cultivated it. They created a safe environment in which she could use it in very controlled conditions. Even now they wheeled in the medical machines, some of which were invented just for her particular situation.
As soon as they were finished hooking her up to the various life support systems she started. Alisha pulled the power from the capacitors and began separation. The Primos looked on with anxiety as the external pacemaker beeped to life. The giant machine stimulated her heart, pressuring it to beat by means of a small electrical pulse through a wire in Alisha's chest. The lung machine hissed in and out. A small tube was put down her trachea. It pumped oxygen to her lungs where it was carried all over.
