I rub my eyes as I pause to take a break. I go searching and discover Chip watching the big door. The creatures have been again and banging on the door. Do they ever get drained?? I discover myself pausing although after I look again to the door.

These creatures have been sturdy… some even fairly large, so how is it that none of them had damaged the door down? It was manufactured from previous wooden… I rise up and stroll over to the big door and place my hand on it. I bounce again when one thing hits the door inflicting it to shake.

I look across the door as I feel again to the e-mail that was despatched by the hacker… he had despatched symbols for them to position across the base to maintain the creatures out. That should imply that this place too has symbols conserving the monsters out.

From what I’ve learn, a few of them which have been contaminated can nonetheless maintain their humanity whereas others lose it fully, turning into nightmarish monsters. It relied on the person and their energy and dedication to battle in opposition to the virus.

I assume that is what Alec was speaking about when he stated solely the strongest would come over to seek out an equally sturdy host. With out that, they might each lose themselves to the virus. It sort of made sense however that might additionally imply that the ‘beast’ have been as soon as the individuals who lived right here…

This was beginning to make sense… even among the many folks from Everlise, they’d individuals who needed to open the door to a different world and depart… not everybody was good and righteous. Some have been egocentric and did not care if others have been harm whereas the opposite fought to maintain them protected.

It looks as if regardless of the race, regardless of the world… there are at all times those that are out to harm others. Unhealthy apples… I’m wondering who had a contract with Alec? Was he simply Alec or was it Alec and the one who got here from this world? I’ve seen him earlier than in Alec’s eyes…

“You have to drink Maya,” Chip says with concern. I give him a small smile and lick my dry lips. I solely take a number of sips earlier than I put it again down. Chip frowns and says “You have to drink extra.” I shake my head and say “I do not know the way for much longer we’ll be right here. I must ration them as a lot as doable. Don’t fret Chip I will not die.”

Chip appears unconvinced however he decides to drop it and stroll again over to the door. I proceed studying and what I discover has me smiling like a loopy particular person. It was a summoning for water! Might this work? I get up and stroll over to the opposite wall by the door. The wall across the door was clear leaving me room to attract.

I unwrapped my hand and squeezed as exhausting as I can to attract out blood. Chip jumps up taking a look at me like I’ve misplaced it. “Maya! What are you doing?” Chip comes over to cease me put I put my different hand up telling him to attend.

I cowl my finger within the blood and write the image on the wall and once more watch because it begins to glow. Chip’s eyes grew massive on the sight and out of the blue water comes flying out of the wall. I get pushed again and stumble when the water hits me however I do not care.

I snicker in pleasure like a madwoman as I start scooping up the water with my good hand and ingesting it. It tasted heavenly…. I lean again and start rolling round within the refreshing clear water! That is great!! “Uh, Maya… Perhaps it’s best to flip it off now…” Chip says wanting on the water shortly filling the temple.

I cease and go searching with shock… it was filling up actually quick… I get up and see it is already coming as much as my knees and rising. “Uh… that is a good suggestion however I do not actually know the way…” I say wanting again to the wall as I attempt to learn quicker.

How do I make it cease? The final time I used it to summon Chip it instantly stopped after… “Maya… quicker!” Chip says with fear. I chunk my lips after I really feel the water at my hips. “Chip I am making an attempt however I actually do not know tips on how to cease it!” I begin energy studying feeling like my poor mind desires to cry with all the knowledge I had been cramming in it.

I’ve at all times been a quick learner and picked issues up with ease however this felt a bit totally different. It was as if it was tattooing itself on my mind. As soon as I learn it, it was without end there. I felt the water on my waist as Chip walks over to me in panic.

“Am I waterproof?” Chip asks with fear and I shortly say “After all you might be. You may be positive I promise.” Chip nods his head and barely relaxes as I proceed studying. Out of the blue Chip begins to panic once more. “Maya! I do not know tips on how to swim! I by no means downloaded the software program for swimming!”

I blink a number of occasions in shock earlier than I flip to see him making an attempt to face on his again paws. “Chip… you are an AI… you possibly can study to do it your self however earlier than that… you need not breathe….” I say in a relaxed confused voice. Chip blinks a number of occasions earlier than saying “After all… I used to be simply nervous I’ll have to avoid wasting you…”
