Talk about magic?
Great someone actually stopped to read the resident listing on the building. Every now and then someone would stopped and read them all, whether it be a mail man or someone visiting someone that lived in the complex. It was rare though for someone that lived in the complex to stop and read them. He sighed, clearly aggravated that she had connected the two. He shouldn't have ever answered the buzz. She would have given up eventually and left him alone, but since he answer she new he was here and would probably bug him until she received her audience with him.
"What if she knows?" He asked himself.
"Robert, you cannot be serious. Only a handful of people know of her." He looked over to see Dr. Lee staring at him with his arms crossed.
"But what if information was leaked? What if one of them said something?" Robert ran all the possibilities through his head.
Dr. Lee propped himself against the wall listening to his old friend ramble on. "It is impossible. The information is top secret. If any one had said anything I doubt that it would have been a random girl. She is just a fan."
"Just a fan?" He mumbled to himself. "I'll send her away."
"No!" Dr. Lee stated louder than his usual calm. "No. Let her in. It will be good for you to socialize with another human."
It took Robert a moment to reply. "Are you calling me crazy again?"
"No, no." Dr. Lee said waving one of his hands in front of him. "Not yet."
"Fine!" Robert resorted. He had already locked the door to Gaia's room so the girl wouldn't be able to enter it without his permission. He looked around his apartment quickly. Everything was in place. He could receive company.
Robert pressed the button again so that Elise could hear him. "Very well. I am short on time so your stay will also be short." As he said that he pressed another button that was beside it allowing access to his room from the elevator. "Top floor." He stated.
"Very good Robert. I'm proud of you." Dr. Lee said smiling at his former subordinate.
"How about you shut up and disappear again." Robert resorted.
Dr. Lee couldn't help but chuckle at him. "Very well." With that he faded away just like the ghost that he was.
Gel'linnea took in a breath. Finally she was able to breathe again. Her breaths were deep, desperately trying to fill up her lungs with air after so long. Even when she opened her eyes she couldn't see anything. Her nerves weren't fully functional yet. The world was just dark regardless of the lightening. The vines loosened making her body slip closer to the floor. Moss and flakes of old skin fell off of her and onto the floor below that had now been covered. Thoughts went through her head as she tried to figure out where she was. Was she in her ship? Or outside? how long had she been in hibernation? She desperately tried to get her eyes to work by blinking, but it was no use. Time was the only thing that could give her eye sight back. For now she was awake, but that didn't matter. She was still as helpless as she was when she was asleep.
