(((authers note: Este's character was made before she came out about her head mates. Her character is based on the person I knew then. This chapter is dedicated to grandma. She died while I was writing this chapter where she gets cured.)))
Chapter 6
Yvonne wondered why they were letting her go. She could tell the press or the police but she knew that they wouldn't believe her. Jude was Merlin's host now and he was enslaved, now facing a fate worse than death. Christina—or Rad, or whatever she was—wouldn’t hurt Jude...would she? But that was the only person that would believe her and stop the cabal. That was, if she could.
She tried to go to the Geek house but was stopped by a cabal member. She hadn't seen Gall turned in to a freaky nightmare, but she couldn't doubt that he was one of them now too.
“Yvonne,” he said with a sneer. “What are you doing in this part of the city? You're in the forty-fifth assembly district. This is Christina’s distr—”
“I can walk wherever I want,” she said. “I've had my very head violated by Merlin and I'm going to tell the Geeks what’s going on.”
“What are you talking about?” Gall asked.
Yvonne took her bag and hit him on the side of my head and ran away, hoping that her paranoia wasn't getting the best of her.
To avoid the people and their questions, Blue took Seal by the arm and moved faster. “Could you teleport us out of here Seal?” Blue asked.
“I need to recover my energy first,” she answered. “Teleporting two people takes a lot out of me.”
“Then I'll try to reach the other RAFians from my cell phone while you rest,” Blue assured. “I won't log on to RAF, I promise.”
Seal nodded but was aware of how a seal didn't belong in city streets. “Ok, I'm starting to get hungry. Is there anything around here a seal can eat?”
“Don't seals eat raw fish?” Bryce asked while making a face. “Can you at least eat it cooked?”
“I hope so,” Seal said as she looked at the shops around. “There’s a restaurant with fish there but I doubt that they will serve me.”
“Could you hide in that fire escape? I'll bring you the food.”
Seal started to rise up on a bubble of water. “Yeah that should work. Just be fast, ok?”
Bryce nodded before going over to the cafe. They had a plate of fried cod fish and fries and thought that Seal would be nice enough to share her fries with him. But when he came outside he was astonished to see meatle (WHAT?) tumbleweeds staking themselves to try to reach the fire escape. “Seal!” He ran closer and was showered with ice shards that Seal was using to fight off the tumbleweeds.
“Get out of here, Blue!” she shouted as her ice forced one of the tumbleweeds off her landing on the fireescape.
“And go where? You’re my ride home!” Bryce took a French fry from the take out bag for getting closer with the snack secured under his shirt. Two of the tumbleweeds turned to him. He swiftly ducked the first one but and other caught him and began to creep its way around him entrapping him in the centre.
“I told you to go,” Seal reproached with a weary voice.
Bryce tried to force himself free of the trumbleweed. “I'm not leaving you!”
Mrs. Geek looked at the small animal that had just called her daughter mom. “That isn't donut's, right?”
“No, and thank goodness I didn't become my RAFSim,” Ma'at allowed her voice to be heard for what it was. ”I would kill Blue if that happened.”
“Donut says you should not have Ma'at till all the mango is out of your system,” Este said to relay donut. “You don't have long till you start reacting again.”
”I can stay long enough to find a new host,” Ma'at said. ”Unless Rad throws up, I'm going to need that. Does anyone here think Humbleness or grandma could be convinced to take me in?”
“That thing is going NOWHERE near me!” Humbleness shot a glare at Ma’at.
Mrs. Geek saw her daughter bend over again and the parasite almost flew to grandma. The sound of flesh being cut so Ma'at could make a path to her brain stem was heard over the shouting. Grandma's eyes were wide with horrour and pain as the parasite took its place.
“She's the cure for cancer,” Rad said with a smile. “If there was time to explain she would have accepted.”
“No,” grandma said when Ma'at was in place. “What is it-she doing?” Her eyes glowed a bit yellow as Ma'at was in able to take control. ”You should be thankful. I'm doing a lot of healing here. I'll only need to be here a few hours.”
“That'll cure her,” Rad said happily. “Grandma, you'll be in perfect health.”
Gymn shot Rad a look. Rad, she's a Goa'uld she can't be trusted. And I felt what Tyler did to you.
He did nothing. I'm fine, Rad thought back to her son.
Is there anything different about his voice? the child asked.
An odd blush passed over Rad's face. I noticed that it's nice.
Another caller joined the Skype conversation. “Who is on?” goom asked.
“Myself, Rad, Gymn and Yeerks A Lot are here with her entire family...and a few friends,” Ma'at started. “Josh, Tyler, Este and donut from elsewhere in the lands beyond.”
“I'm here with Myit, Tara, Teach, Brian and Marie here,” goom said. “It's happened to each of us too.”
“It ain't happened to me or Tyler yet,” Bear reported.
Rad's grandma looked at Gymn. “Gymn and I think there is something wrong with Ty.”
Dino was in the middle of nowhere RAF wise. She didn't have any RAFians near where she lived. Goose had been sent by the Ellimist so she wouldn't be alone. But she wasn't too keen on being taken and caged if she was found. <Is anybody around?> she asked Goose while he was in the air.
<There are some cars coming up the road, but if this works they will be gone by the time we do this,> he said as he circled back to the ground. <If it works. Will it work?>
<I don't know,> she answered. <I wrote it into my character at one point but that is a few posts not much more.> She reach one of her small hands down to Goose and stroked his feathers.
As the Canadian goose's muscles relaxed, Dino knew that he wanted to smile. <I think I'm the first person to ever be acquired and morphed.>
<Not truly morphed though,> Dino explained. <The way I wrote this, the only thing I'm acquiring is your size. I'm still a nothlet but I might be able to change my size.>
<Well I got spacey so guess that is a good sign,> Goose said waddling away from Dino a bit. <Try it before someone sees you.>
Dino concentrated on the Goose body. She began to shrink. <I think it’s working,> she said.
<This makes you the first person to morph,> Goose said. <Sorta.>
<We can't be sure because another RAFian might have done it first,> she said. <But here's to hoping I was first.>
