Lucy Reborn

Chapter 2

Lucy opens her eyes seeing a red glow. Almost as if you were holding your hand above a flashlight, just dimmer. Where? Oh. Lucy remembers It wasn"t a dream? Have I really been reborn? Lucy purses her lips and laughs. It makes no sound, but she doesn"t care. It"s more like reconceived. I"m still in the womb here!

What is my new mom like? She sounded nice. Lucy remembers that her Mom had mentioned her Father, so clearly it wasn"t a single parent household. Lucy swallows the fluid, suddenly. She grimaces, Eww! Why did I do that? Lucy blinks. It didn"t taste bad? Cautiously, Lucy swallows again. It was kinda sweet. How strange.

When her tiny stomach is full, Lucy quickly gets bored. How long am I going to be stuck here? I can"t sketch, or paint, can"t read, knit, or do yoga. I can"t even kick unless I want to wake my mom up. Lucy stills, guilt over her acceptance of her new parents making her heart heavy. Mama and Papa had been wonderful parents, but they"ve been gone so long. Lucy closes her eyes, Aunt Thea. For the first time, Lucy"s glad Aunt Thea died before her. Her aunt who taught her to knit, and cook, who took her in, and shielded her from Papa"s family. She would be heartbroken if she knew Lucy had died. Lucy heard it a million times. Family is life, baby girl. What"s the point of living without family?

Lucy shaking her head, and those thoughts away. Lucy got a stroke of inspiration. I bet my pure energy is a mess. I should meditate. Wait? Will I even have pure energy? After all, she had gotten it from Mama, and Aunt Thea. She might not be psychic this life. Lucy felt a sense of loss but quickly calmed herself to slip into a trance.

Lucy sees the familiar silver sparkles in her inner sky, but her Spirit core is gone. Looks like I"ll have to start training all over again. Still, this was better than being spiritually blind. Lucy reaches out to Lucy pushes two silver sparkles together, and twists ensuring they will bond. Reaching for another sparkle, Lucy is shocked out of her trance. What? A yellow sparkle? That isn"t pure energy! What was that?

Lucy kicks, and leans back, thinking. Maybe my new mom is psychic too, and I"ll be a double psychic. Lucy is dismayed by this. While she enjoyed her powers, they had at times brought her trouble. Lucy can just see herself landing in twice the trouble.

Calm. Be calm. It takes Lucy several minutes to regain her trance. Lucy begins to examine her powers. Instead of just silver sparkles, she had yellow, and silver all mixed up. It was spa.r.s.e though, even as a child she hadn"t had such weak powers. Lucy sees her Spirit Seed, and her eyes widen. It"s producing sparkles! I"m not in a state of breakthrough! What"s happening?

Lucy studies her Spirit Seed and frowns. It spits out a silver sparkle every 30 seconds, or so. Is it because I"m a fetus? But, where are the yellow sparkles coming from? Is there another Spirit Seed? The very thought seemed absurd, but what else could it be. Looking around, It doesn"t take long to find the second Spirit Seed. It had a slight yellow tinge and spat out a yellow sparkle every 30 seconds.
