Sirens sounded announcing the approach of the police. She looked up at the lights that pointed at her.

“Leave me alone.” She said quietly.

Soon she was surrounded by a small army of police men.

“Teli, we don’t want to hurt you. Come with us and everything will be fine.” A voice boomed out.

“Just leave me be.” She whispered.

A tense silence filled the park. The hum of the lights surrounded them. The sound of the rain pounding against the metal cars almost drowned out the hum of the lights. In the silence their voices filled her mind:

“She’s going to kill us all.”

“What do we do?”

“I hope they know what they are doing.”

“Let’s get out of here.”

“I want to see my family again.”

“May God bless us.”

The chattering filled her mind. All she could hear were their thoughts. They enveloped her not allowing her to escape. Not even one of her thoughts could penetrate the barrier that was created.

“Stop it! Leave me alone! Get out of my head!” Teli let out an ear piercing scream while she gripped her head in frustration.

Her violet eyes glowed strangely.

“No, I mustn’t let it loose.” She buried her frozen face in her knees again.

“Please Teli; we only want to help you.” The voice tried to convince her.

That is what they said four years earlier.
