A fictional island mentioned within an alter jury on the blueberries of nations in Pluto works trauma and critics. I remember my father telling me stories about the lost city of Lemuria when I was little, telling me how a utopia island once existed and somehow sank and was lost into the sea hundreds, may thousands, of years ago.
Surely my father had been joking when he said the story to me.
Possible I murmured but apparently it was heard by all since Jennifer glanced at me and smiled.
"Impossible". I murmured but apparently it was heard by all since Jennifer glanced at me and smiled.
"No, it's not, handsome." she smiled my stomach churn. "It's real and you are all its people. You are all descendants of the people of Lemuria a long time ago. When it stood above ground, you all survived because your Lemurian blood - mixed with the flow while injected into your blood - Protected your body from the present tense atmospheric pressure that would have killed you".
Silence fell in the room as they all took in Her words blood of Lemuria. It's their blood that made me survive. My fingers unconsciously touch the white strand of hair at the side of my head.
I'm a Lemurian?
My ride suddenly broke my thoughts. Gita rose to her feet and started to charge at Jennifer with her hands like claws as she reached for her. Just as she was about to make contact, a man stood between her and Jennifer. And grab grabbed her waist, Gita fled and fought against the grip of the man as she glared at Jennifer with pure hatred
"You Monster!! You brought us here knowing that only a few of us would leave, didn't you? You kill these people! You took away their family and loved ones. How can you stand there looking like it doesn't bother you? "I looked at her with new-found admiration as I realized that she was not only speaking for herself or her lost child, but she was also speaking on behalf of us.
Jessica raised an eyebrow at her as if she was crazy. You really think we don't know that and they would have died either way? We merely saved you from your own people, the land-developed government, because we were aware of the existence and the people with Lemuria blood in them. Haven't you all realized why some got a chance to win a free ticket or discounts? "She looked at each and every one of us. By the reaction of all others, I assume that they were all questioning as well. Even I, who received the ticket from my aunt, am starting to doubt everything.
How did my aunt pay for my ticket?
This is all part of their plan.
It is all part of their plan. They know your heritage and are planning on using your blood for experimentation. Sadly my people and I can only say that those who crossed the Indian Ocean. Plane was headed to one of their research facilities in Australia. If we have not intercepted it there, then you could be tortured and experimented on like animals. Then her eyes seeped over Gita's stomach and her bloodied legs. Plane was headed to one of their research facilities in Australia. If we had not intercepted it, then you could be tortured and experimented on like animals. Then her eyes seeped over Gita's stomach and her bloody legs. I see that you were carrying a child. My deepest regret. The rescue mission came so suddenly that we weren't able to prepare. "
That moment I saw Gita's face turn red with anger and frustration. Jennifer came and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. It may not be much but we are apologizers for not being able to do much more to help. "Gita was still trembling and crying. Mother, who was mourning the death of her unborn child, I saw her raising her fist in the air and almost flung it to the ground when a hand stopped her.
That hand was mine
Jennifer looked at me in surprise before it turned into smiles and thankful smiles. How can they do that because they revile people? We are still humans just like them!"
Jennifer Stared at me "like them". These are far more intellectual than the Earth thing. The time they have passed and erred as it was. We already have lives. Our minds are far more superior than you could ever imagine. The Earth thing is the people who brought machine to the world.?" It is us. For years we distinguish ourselves among the earth walkers. Teaching them medicines and about technology, everything that they have now, they over the lumora. You should be thankful to have a bit of our blood."
How can you be thankful that we were being targeted? "My hands were bound into first, and I looked back at the wrinkled plane behind me. Its shape was barely recognizable and haunted, especially with the cracked glasses, peeled paint, and oozed blood.
Gita started to cough, still being held by Jennifer.
I looked back up to the female Lemuria. Ice cold as I said the next words. How is this to be thankful for!? "
Jennifer opened her mouth to answer but a man stopped her. It was the same woman who injected the blue vile.
Her yellow eyes were emotionless, and his lips were on a thin line as she looked at Jennifer. "Enough," she said. We are wasting time here. Then her eyes locked into mine for a second before it looked up at the other survivors. "All of you here will have the chance to live with us since the land isn't safe for you anymore. Should you decide to do so, we will give you homes and even provide for you on the exchange that you lent us your support and assisted to help others like you.
" But-" someone started but was quickly cut off by her.
" If you have families, be sure to tell us. They will send the informant for them either for protection or to bring them here if they are eligible."
"You are forcing us to work for you.?"
You will be citizens of Lemuria. You are not slaves and as I have said you are to be paid with full accommodations. It is simply up to you to accept or not but remember if they come after you. Who's the say they won't come back for you?"
The woman's eyes narrowed and leaned his face until it was inches from mine. "You will either work or return to death. That's the real world that we are living in." I could hear the warning in her voice not to defy her. And I knew better. I was already standing on a thin line as we speak.
I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes. The frustration that I felt at being powerless in this sort of situation is unbearable that I could feel my eyes setting as tears threatened to spill but I willed them back.
When I opened them back, I saw Jennifer having a cream on her face as she faced the people. For those who want to live and serve at Lemuria, please follow us. For those who don't, I hope you'll do well in the surface of earth.
I can see the hesitation in everyone's eyes as they started to move towards Jennifer at other Lemuria's side. I don't really blame them for going because if we don't then we are thrown out into the surface to who knows what's awaiting us.
I can see the hesitation in everyone's eyes as they started to move towards
Either way we have no choice if we want to survive.
Then I noticed that everyone left except Gita and I. I heard Gita let out a whimper of pain and clutched her stomach and I immediately went to her side. She was still bleeding and the dead baby was still inside of her.
"Gita, hey. stay with me," I told her.
"Do you need some assistance?" Jennifer said, "We can fully help you recover back in the city." She gestured at Gita. I felt Gita's hands on my arm. I looked at her to see her shaking her head.
I heard Jessica's sign, as you wish. I hope you two won't end up like the previous one."
The Previous ones.
Wait, does she mean that there were others who were brought here before us? Could it be that they were also the ones responsible for the disappearance of the plane that my father was in?
"Everyone, move out!" The man called and a few seconds later, I heard their footsteps getting farther and farther away.
"Wait!" I got up and turned to them,
They all paused and Jennifer turned to me. "Yes?"
I looked at Gita sitting on the floor in agony before turning my gaze back to her. "Take us with you." I spoke.
"N-No.." Gita said weakly. She was obviously fighting the pain and looked like she was on the verge of having a blackout.
I went back to her side to talk to her. "Gita, we need you to come with them. They can help you."
"What's the point of even trying to live?" She muttered and rubbed her belly.
She sounded dead serious about not coming, but I don't want to go there to the other side and leave her. I grabbed her shoulder and talked to her in a hushed voice. "Listen to me, Gita. Yes, they are hundreds of people back there are dead and so is your unborn child, but they somehow mean well. If what they say is true, then we shouldn't make the real enemies pay? If not, then at least help others like us."
I was feeling guilty for lying to her. Revenge was not my reason. I only want to find some answers about my dad.
Gita blink at me with droopy eyes and I was afraid that she would faint right then and there. "Should I agree to come with them, you promise we can have our revenge?" She said tiredly.
I nodded. "Yes, I promise, so please come with me. I can't do this alone."
Gita looked me in the eyes for a moment before she nodded weakly. "Alright." She said and she finally used up all her strength and she passed out.
I laid her on the floor as I turned towards Jennifer "We're coming with you to lumora".
