back down and waited for him to
decide.
“Deal. I promise no funny business, I will just sleep with
you in my arms. Those few nights we slept together were the best sleep I can
remember ever having. I could use a few nights like that again. Couldn’t you?”
“Alright, just a few nights. Then we both have to get used
to sleeping alone.” I turned my back to him so we could spoon.
“I don’t like this one bit. Are you planning on mating? What
is that called here on Earth?” Fillie was on the bed with us now.
“Fillie, it’s called marriage, and no we aren’t. We are not
doing anything other than sleeping, and apparently arguing with you. You can be
the chaperone, make sure Ash doesn’t do anything inappropriate. Let’s just all
go back to sleep. Ok?” I shut my eyes and fell asleep almost instantly.

Ash stayed true to his word, there was no funny business all
night and he let me sleep until I woke up on my own. Both he and Fillie had
left the room, quietly, before I ever woke up. I got up and showered and went
to the kitchen looking for coffee and food. That was where I found them both,
arguing.
“She is the girl who is going to save your race! If you
aren’t planning on mating with her, then you need to stop playing with her. She
is not some floozy you can have your fun with and then dump when done with
her.” Fillie was flapping her wings and looked about ready to breathe fire on
Ash when I walked in.
“Fillie, it isn’t like that…” Ash stopped talking as soon as
I walked in.
“Good morning B, how did you sleep?” Ash walked over to grab
a cup of coffee for me.
“I slept like a baby, thank you. How about you? No
nightmares?” I took the cup of coffee from his hand. His fingers grazed mine
and lingered a couple of seconds longer than necessary.
“No nightmares, in fact, I slept so good I was going to see
if we could make this a permanent thing. We could both get a good night’s sleep
every night.” Ash winked at me as usual, but Fillie was not having any of it.
While I just rolled my eyes at him, Fillie came over and hit
Ash’s face with one of her wings. I just laughed.
“Fillie, it’s fine. Leave him alone. When here on Earth Ash
is just big flirt. Pay him no mind when he says stupid stuff like that.” I
reached out for Fillie to put her on my shoulder and went over to the table to
sit down.
Ash put his hand on his heart and rather dramatically said,
“Oh that hurts B, that really hurts.” He tried to pout and make it appear as
though he was hurt by my words, but I knew better.
“Ash, stop messing around and fix me breakfast, or brunch. I’m
hungry and I know you two have a very long day planned for me.”
Ash just laughed and said, “Your wish is my command.” Then
he went to fix me a ham and cheese omelet.

It was a long, grueling day. The first two hours were spent
with Fillie working on my mental abilities. She knew I could mind speak easily
now, so she focused on my secret ability, even Ash didn’t know exactly what I
could do, only that I had another ability I was keeping to myself. On Earth we
called it telekinesis, on Sendryl, they didn’t have a name for it. It had been
centuries since anyone had had the ability and with all of the old documents
destroyed, no one even knew it was possible, except for Fillie.
We kept this first training session closed. No one was able
to witness what I did. At first it was very difficult trying to get anything to
move. But eventually I was able to move a few smaller items. It seemed easier
if I threw something with my hands to make it hit the mark than to pick it up
with my mind and make it hit the mark. Fillie said within time I could throw
heavy objects across the room.
I was frightened of this gift at first, as it just made me
even more different than everyone else. Plus it could be a very dangerous gift
if I didn’t get control of it. I could see myself trying to throw a log at a
ripper but
