Chapter Nine A Town Called Sins

Natasha

Natasha, please, you are almost here, I can feel it. Please come back to me, to us.

My head was pounding, my throat was as dry as it had ever been, my stomach felt like a hollow, ravenous void as it gurgled fiercely for a second or two.

And those words sounded as if they were being beamed in from some alien radio station across the galaxy, the sound hollow and tinny, caught somewhere between the ghostly remembrance of some long-ago conversation and the final stirrings of some an old, damaged telephone receiver attempting to relay a few more words from a friend before it died completely.

What were you thinking, Natasha?

There were a few more words, coming in much more clearly. Almost surreally vivid, in fact, like those few seconds of sound from a television jolting you awake just as you were about to drift off.

You put yourself at so much danger. And now… why?

There was the sensation of my own hand, the butt of my palm, rubbing some dull ache just off my right temple.

The sensation of my hand, the sound of the voice—which I slowly recognized as Troy’s—started to feel real. And I tried to remember what was real, and what I could remember at all, if anything.

I remembered the brilliance, the pure light of everything within myself I could summon made outward.

It was as if the entire scope of my existence and my soul and all of my inner colours condensed and concentrated in a section of a cemetery, an area smaller than a rugby pitch, the entire universe of my life pushed out and made out in and the open and as plain as day.

What were you thinking, Natasha?

“Michael asked me to,” I breathed quietly, answering before I even knew where I was.

“Since when should any of us listen to Michael?”

Troy’s response sounded a bit put off, but as I opened my eyes to see him looking down at me, there was a distinct smile on his lips.

“You know what? I don’t care. You are awake now. I was so worried about you.”

I tried to sit up, but found myself coughing and aching a bit all over.

“Here,” said Troy, handing me a glass of water he had at the ready. Who knew how long he had been waiting for me, perhaps even holding the glass as he spoke to me, watching for signs of my awakening.

As I took my first sip, I felt Troy’s hand laying ever so gently on my hair, just to where it hung over my left cheek. I assumed Troy was only trying to help wake me up and bring me back into reality through the sensation of a light touch, and it was working at that. Troy moved his hand from my hair to my face, and he cupped my chin for a flash of a second before letting go. My headache seemed to ease up a bit.

“Thank you,” I said, smiling.

“You seemed to be able to handle your powers just fine days ago.
