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!

Advertis.e.m.e.ntWhat 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 s.h.i.+elded 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 .
