Trent had clearly followed Alexandra’s gaze because he raised an eyebrow.

“Ah,” he said after a moment. “I see.”

Alexandra gave him a surprised look. “You do?”

“Of course,” he said. “But I’m not going to spoil the surprise.” Read the rest of this entry »

Lydia and her siblings went with their parents to the meeting again the next morning. Kayleigh and Robert were coming along as well to give evidence and since both were still too weak after their ordeal to walk the short distance to the gym, so Matthias teleported the group there.

Alexandra was waiting for them and smiled warmly at Kayleigh and Robert. “After what we have learned, I am so glad to see you two well. Everyone was worried about you when we learned the truth.” Read the rest of this entry »

Adrian was helping Robert out of the bathroom but both stopped when they saw Sonia and Lydia standing in the room with Kayleigh.

“Sonia Keefe,” Robert said. “An honour to meet you, ma’am.”

“Likewise,” Sonia said. Lydia couldn’t help noticing that she didn’t tell him that he didn’t need to be formal with her the way she had Kayleigh. “How are you feeling?” Read the rest of this entry »

The news turned out to be reporting only the barest of facts about the meeting but the tone was mostly positive. After they’d watched it, Sonia gave a relieved sigh and nodded to herself.

“Well, he hasn’t sold us down the river yet, at least,” she said. “I’ll check again later. Let’s go and see how Kayleigh and Robert are doing while you father is cooking dinner.” Read the rest of this entry »

“Do you mind if I come with you?” Alaryia asked. “I’d like to have a look at what else you have available. They could do with something more nourishing.”

“Sure,” Lydia said. “But we’re a bit short at the moment.”

“So I gathered,” Alaryia said as they headed downstairs to kitchen. “But I might spot something you missed.” Read the rest of this entry »

A/N: sorry peeps, I won’t be able to post the next Whisper update before Thursday next week. Dragon Wars will be up as normal on Monday.

Hannah and Kayleigh’s father ran straight to her his daughter’s side when he entered the room.

“Kayleigh!” He knelt beside the bed and hugged her gently. “I’m so sorry.” You’re completely sure it’s her? He added mentally for everyone but Kayleigh and Robert. It isn’t another imposter? Lydia couldn’t blame him for the anxiety in the circumstances.

I double checked, Darlryan reassured him. It’s definitely them. That trick only works if you don’t know what to look for, and as far as we know Dialdra and her brother were the only two who could do it. Read the rest of this entry »

“I think we’ll take neither of those options,” Darlryan said dryly. “Do you really think that’s all we can do?” He smirked when there was no response and shook his head in obvious amusement. “You really do, don’t you? Watch and learn, Xantaria.” He turned to Indaturan. “You’re better than me at spatial. Make a secondary bubble around Kayleigh and Robert. The rest of us will hold this one until it’s done.”

“I’ll help!” Hannah said. “I’m quite good at spatial. We’re going to make a lifeboat to allow us to move Kay and Robert through the void, right?” Read the rest of this entry »

The ship bearing the contact team was a multi-environment Fish, one of the largest Amanpreet had ever seen. Oni and his team headed over to speak with them and Amanpreet accompanied them.

The leader of the human section of thee contact team was a statuesque black woman with hair cropped close to her skull. She introduced herself as Alice as she shook hands with the team but not Amanpreet, clearly dismissing her as unimportant because she was only captain of the science team’s transport and not a scientist herself. Amanpreet hissed to herself at the slight and clenched her fists but didn’t comment only because Sangat put his hand on her arm and shook his head. She hung back a little and looked at him.

“She’s right,” Alaryia said after a moment’s concentration. “I can sense barely anyone here and all of them are young. I have a bad feeling about this.”

“Yes,” Karen agreed. “I don’t feel any danger to my family yet but I’ll send dad an imp to warn them.” She closed her eyes and created a small imp which shot off quickly. “Okay, let’s take advantage of no one being here and rescue Kayleigh quickly.” Read the rest of this entry »

Due to the fact that I’m currently out of my house over 13 hours a day between my temp job and the commute there to this week’s installment of Whisper will be up on Sunday. Sorry.
