I couldn't believe my eyes. I was literally watching someone, or something, move through a shadow version of my home. It was moving in slow motion, but something tells me that it was still sped up somehow. I don't know how I knew that, but somehow, I just did.
Something about the images that I was seeing seemed to feel like, even with how slow it was going, it was still faster than what my Little Bunny had experienced them. If this had been how hard it had been for her to traverse this area, I could imagine her being frustrated and annoyed. Hell, I was pissed off on her behalf.
With that thought aside though, I watched the view of the images as whoever it was moved to the tower and up to my room. This very room that we were in right now. This part was scary. Whatever that thing was, it was in this room with us right now.
The thing went right up to Talia, where she still floated in front of the magic screen. Seeing the view of it looking at my daughter and then watching her wave at it from two different perspectives, that was scary as all hell. What was this thing? And what exactly did it look like?
"Hi." My daughter's smile and giggling while she spoke did nothing to make the fear and worry go away. "Go now. Show me where my mommy went." Like the thing that we were seeing on the screen was the literal view through the thing's eye, the screen shifted a little bit as it nodded its head, or whatever its eyes were on.
After leaving Talia where she was, the thing went to the bed and crawled into it, laying on the sheets. That told me that my Little Bunny had been here with me, at least once. Was it after I had gotten home? Was it when I was in bed?
I didn't know the answers to those questions, but I did know that I was going to be calling Roisin to change the sheets as soon as this thing was gone and out of here.
At first, I thought that the images had frozen, or that my Little Bunny was still here in this room with us even though I was told that she wasn't. I thought that until the thing got up and then started to move throughout the entire castle. It was like Trinity was looking for something.
What was it? What was she looking for? Where was she going?
Dammit! Why couldn't I answer any of these questions? Why couldn't I do anything to find my Little Bunny? Why was I so weak and powerless in all of this? GAH! I just wanted to scream. but I couldn't.
I watched on, that was all that I could do. Watching and waiting for someone else to help me find my mate. That was all that I could do for her at the moment.
After the tower, my Little Bunny searched everywhere in the castle. It was like she hadn't found what she was looking for though, so she went outside. I could tell that the images were going to move in one direction, but something had caught her attention.
My Little Bunny changed her course and started to go to the side. Around the castle and into the mountains. That was the path that the images were showing us. And I found out after several minutes just what it all was for. There was a door. There hadn't been a door before that looked like this anywhere in the castle. And there wasn't one like it in the mountains either. At least, not on this side of the images at least.
Wherever that thing was, the thing that was moving on the screen, it wasn't in a world that we were in. It was in a place that was close to it, but not actually here. And as it approached the door that my Little Bunny had obviously gone through, I could tell that it was only going to get further away from here.
The door on the magic screen opened and it immediately sucked the thing that was showing us the path inside of it. the images spun around and twisted all over the place until it disappeared altogether.
That thing now landed in a room, or whatever it was in, that was so dark it was pitch black. Nothing at all could be seen on the screen, but I still got the sense that the thing was moving. I don't know what it was, but it was following where my Little Bunny had been.
As riveting and exciting as the plain black screen was, I needed more. I needed to see more and know what happened. And I got that too. Off in the distance, there was a fire that was burning. Only this fire had purple, blue, red, and orange. It wasn't just normal colors, and it didn't look like a normal fire at all. Though, all the places around the fire were in black and white still so that told me that we were still in another type of world.
There was something else that I noticed too. I hadn't noticed it before since I had heard Talia speaking in the same room, but there was sound coming from the images that we were seeing. I could hear the crackling of the flames from the roaring campfire. It was so odd to hear something that I had thought was going to be completely silent.
This was fine with me though. I would prefer to be able to hear what my wife had experienced. What if there was something in there that was important for me to know about? What if I hear something truly valuable or helpful? I think that this was a truly good development.
Now, after seeing this place, and knowing that I could hear the sound accompanying the images, I was ready for the thing to keep moving, whatever it was. And that it did. After what felt like a very long time, it continued to walk past the fire and toward a wall. A wall that we could only see when we got close to it. And near that wall, there was another door.
This door looked so much like the other one that had been in the mountains near the castle. And I noticed that the wall surrounding this door was a stone wall, like it was the side of another mountain. That was odd, but consistent at least.
We hadn't seen much, but I could tell that by this point, my Little Bunny had to have experienced a lot. She had been through so much in such a short span of time. And that is assuming that it was all short. I don't know how far into my Little Bunny's journey these images were. But I did know that she had been gone for about two months now, give or take a little bit.. How long did it take for her to get to this point? And how much more had she experienced since that time? That was something that I didn't know, and wasn't likely to find out until she was back with us.
