Henry looked much shaken even though he tried to be strong. It seemed from the look on his face, anxiety.

“Henry, calm you down. Tonight don’t hear their voices. Let them plan for evil. One day it will definitely be revealed moreover here is a high level of security. We are safe.” I comforted.

“Yes Moi and also forget our intention to escape. We can die silly here or in the middle of the ocean. Which makes me very shaken is Alfa’s ability is very great and some people who might be here be able to telepathy. My abilities become common thing among them. This is crazy Moi.” 

I didn’t answer it. It was very surprising that Henry who was a telepathic expert had many rivals with telepathic ability here, even Alfa outperformed him. 

While our dreams were farther and farther away, the desire to run away was ridiculous right now.

I said goodbye to Henry. My mind was burdened by Henry’s words about the evil conspiracy on this island.

The person called Alfa, seemed to have very strong metaphysical abilities. I wondered what he will do, and who his friends were a mystery.

I hope that somehow can leave this island immediately, as soon as possible.

***

That afternoon after resting, I visited Ron. Ron was engrossing in the gadget in his bed.

“Yahoo Ron… helps Sis Moi, please.” I visited.

“What do I help, Sis?” answered Ron still engrossing with the gadget.

“Come on, Ron. Help Sis Moi to play water in the pool.” I said, holding his hand.

Ronald obeyed me. He put the gadget and followed me out.

“We’ll pick up Sis Angel, okay, Ron.”

Because the room was next to each other, so we immediately entered Angel’s room.

“Angel, good afternoon.” I said.

As usual Angel sat in the corner of her room, on the floor.  

I thought whether Angel’s warm body needed a cold floor to cool her body.

Angel wore my scarf around her neck and gonzo doll was hugged tightly.

“Angel, how come you’re sitting on the floor again, it’s cold. You will catch a cold. “

Angel didn’t move, her eyes a little lowered and directed towards the wall. Only her thick and curved eyelashes like dolls seemed to move up and down.

“Moi and Ron want to invite Angel out. Let’s play outside, at the pool in front of the room.” 

I seduced her while helping her up while Ron had slipped out.

“Swimming pool, Moi.” she said flatly.

But I saw Angel’s face changed. Her eyes were sparkling, showing Angel was happy.

“Change your dress with a shirt and shorts so that we are free in water.”

I helped get the shirt and shorts out of the wardrobe. Didn’t forget to bring changing equipment such as dress, bath towel and soap.

While I put Angel’s dress in plastic, Angel changed her dress with slow motion, indeed I had to be patient with her slow motion.

A few minute later Angel held my hand tightly, her palm felt warm in mine. We walked to the swimming pool which was 10 meters from the front of her room.

There was a separate bathroom for men and women at the end, each with one bathroom.

“Wait a minute, Angel. Wait here.”

I stepped into the women’s bathroom. Put my bag containing clothes and Angel’s plastic at the bathroom hanger.

This swimming pool was facing Risty’s room. Ron and Angel were alone. I went back toward Angel standing motionless and looked down at the pool water.

“Ah, finally I enter the pool.” whispered Angel while descending into the water slowly.

I laughed, 

“We are playing here this afternoon, Angel. The water is warm, isn’t it?”

I saw Ron had jumped and the sound of water splashing and splattering everywhere when he plunged into it.

“Actually I like to play water, although the location of the pool is in front of my room but no one invited me here, besides you Moi.” said Angel, her eyes fixed on the water that swamping to her chest.

“Angel, take my hand. We both hold our breath then squat then stand up again. Okay?” 

Angel smiled, 

“I’m ready.”

We both squat down and stand up quickly. Our whole body was wet. 

“Now I massage you. Angel’s body is rather stiff, so let it limp a little.”

I moved Angel’s body to back me and then I began massaging her shoulders. I swung her arms to facilitate blood circulation.

The warm pool water which was exposed to the sun’s heat helped me to do massage therapy on Angel’s muscles.

Angel was silent. Her face looked down.

I continued my massage to her back. Her body from shoulder, arms and her back were felt stiff like a wood.

I wanted to reduce Angel’s suffering. This girl was very heavy burden on her soul. I understood Angel’s inner pain. Angel, who was bullied a lot in the past, lost her loving mother, her father who was rude and irresponsible helped make it worse.

Angel had a very subtle feeling even when she went into the past, her high empathy made her involved in being the person she traced.

Angel had a very high psychological empathy even she can enter into herself.

Ah, I hoped my therapy would work and Angel would get a little happiness.

Ron with his shirt and shorts was very wet in action again. He climbed again to the pool edge and then jumped into the water pool by jumping as high as possible.

A splash of water soaked my face and Angel. Ron’s expression was so cheerful. 

A pair of feet splashed water strongly.it seemed that his energy was very big.

I was glad Ron can conduct his energy well in this pool.

 “Come on, Sis Moi, Sis Angel dive together. We can hold our breath and who is strong?” said Ron happily. 

The boy stood on tiptoes so he could breathe in the shallow pool. Without hesitation Ron held his breath, then bent his knee, then set foot on back to the top. Ron’s hair was all wet.

“Sis Moi, do we have a ball? Of course it’s cool if we can play ball, catch and throw here.”

“Ops, we don’t have a ball. It’s fun if we can play throwing a ball, Ron. Later I want to entrust with Lord Jonah.”

Two hours later.  

I, Angel and Ron had finished changing our wet clothes. 

I saw Ron’s face. He looked very happy, his smile always expand with a towel over his head that was still wet. 

I hoped Ron’s enormous energy and mental pressure can be expelled by activity in the swimming pool this afternoon.

Ron shouldn’t be in this place, I hoped we all can leave this island soon.

But… how was it done?

A typical soft step beat behind me made me turn my head.

“Hey, Mrs. Rose.” I greeted.

“Wow, it’s so fun playing in the pool.” Mrs. Rose smiled. 

Ron laughed.

Angel dried her hair with a towel, her eyes was still looking down.

“Hahaha… yes, Mrs. Rose. It was fun to play water in the pool with Angel and Ronald.”

“Then, who will you observe next, Moi?”

“Today is enough. Tomorrow I will go to Risty, Vicko and Leman, Mrs. Rose.”

“Ok, it’s heavy choice because Lord Jonah will accompany you to meet Vicko, Moi.”

We arrived in front of Angel’s room.  

“Angel goes back to the room first.” Angel said while opening the door of her room.

“Ok, Angel. Have a good rest. We will play in the pool again sometime.” I said while tapping her shoulder.

“Ok, Angel, see you tomorrow.” Mrs. Rose waved.

Angel didn’t answer, looked her chin nodded slightly and then she entered and closed the door of her room.

After Angel, Ron also entered his room.

When they entered the room, it hurt in my heart that they shouldn’t be here, in this scary place.

I walked slowly beside Mrs. Rose headed forward, towards our room.

“They shouldn’t be in this place Mrs. Rose. Isn’t this place just worsening their psyche?”

Mrs. Rose didn’t answer. She turned and nodded at the two soldiers on guard.

“How was the activity with Curly and Ron just now, Moi?” asked Mrs. Rose changed the subject.

“Yes, let them refresh Mrs. Rose. Angel’s body was stiff, too much curled up in the room so that it was like that. Now Angel’s muscles are limp after I treated. Now Moi’s hands are aching, but Moi is happy to see Angel getting excited. My tiredness pays off with Angel’s happiness.” I said while stretching my arms.

“Ron is happy too, Mrs. Rose. His great energy is conducted into the pool.”

This night I didn’t want to bother Henry with telepathic contact because he needed rest after last night he was attacked by Alfa.

I spent the night with opening my laptop and studying the contents of the flash disk.

*** 

Tomorrow after having breakfast I and Mrs. Rose visited Risty.

“Good morning Risty, morning nurse Reina.” I greeted.

Risty lay. Her eyes closed, there was a white board lying on her thin chest. 

Risty opened her eyes and tried to smile.

“Morning Moi, Mrs. Rose.” she said softly. 

This girl seemed be weaker from the last condition when I visited her. But a pair of eyes still emitted enthusiasm. 

“Hello Risty, I’m coming again,” said Mrs. Rose

“Today you look fresher.” I said, trying to grow Risty’s spirit.

 “Yes, thank God. Risty’s condition is good enough.” Nurse Reina said.

“Ah, Moira finally we meet again, I am very happy to meet you, O future owner.” said Risty.

“I?  I’m the future owner? It could be you. What are you doing now?” I asked, staring at a drawing book with boards and ballpoint in Risty’s hand.

“I’m making a book, Moi.”

“Wow… that’s cool. I used to love writing too but it’s not a book just a short article on psychological articles for local newspapers.” I said enthusiastically.

“Is it published?” asked Risty and Mrs. Rose together.

I laughed and nodded,

“I sent four articles and all of them were published.”

Mrs. Rose tapped me on the shoulder 

“Amazing! Have you ever written a short story, Moi?”

I shook my head. 

“I can’t imagine highly moreover the romance.”

“What about thrillers?” asked Risty.

I smiled, 

“I don’t dare to write that. I can be scared by myself later, hehehe…”

“Risty, what about is your book?” asked Mrs. Rose.

“What’s this category, hmm…? This book has a lot of pictures, like a comic. This is a story about the future, Mrs. Rose. A picture of the future of humanity.”

Mrs. Rose chuckled, 

“A picture of the future of humanity? Uhm… is it fiction or non-fiction, Risty?”

Nurse Reina adjusted Risty’s bed remotely so that Risty’s head was higher than her feet.

“Hahaha… Actually I really want to pour a lot. When I was still beautiful and my body contains, many young men are chasing me. Memories of them sometimes crossed my mind. But that was my past, now I am pursuing the future.” said Risty, her eyes was glancing upwards as if remembering something.

“I feel you, Risty. Youth is the most beautiful time.” said Mrs. Rose.

“At that time there was a friend of mine, we love each other. And when I was sick like this, by his family, I was considered a girl without a future. A few months ago I heard he had a girlfriend again. So our relationship is finished.”

“Risty, yourself are the future. Who doesn’t want you, soon you will recover, healthy, beautiful, great General daughter.” I said encouraging her.

“Soon I will undergo brain surgery. It’s not a minor surgery. This is the first operation in the world to be kept secret because it is a patient’s right. I don’t want to precede whether I can get through it safely or not, healthy or not, defective or perfect. I’m too afraid to be there, in the future.”

The environment was silent for a moment. Risty’s words seemed to express her inner confusion.

“Even if the probability that happens in the future is the worst, at least there is someone can remember me through this book.” Risty said breaking the silence.

“Sshhh… don’t talk anymore, Risty. You must keep the spirit. You can certainly get through this operation.” consoled Mrs. Rose

“So this book is based on your ability to explore time, Risty?” I asked.

Risty smiled, 

“I don’t have much time to explore, Moi. And of course I didn’t dare write what as it is in this book. A person who knows the future cannot express what as it is.”

“Why can’t it be frank? It is a good, isn’t it? People are curious about what will happen in the future. Your book can be a best seller later because the truth is very accurate. You can become millennial Nostradamus.” I said.

“It has been determined, unwritten, Moi. If I break that law, my life is staked. In the dimension of time I cannot say as it is. There is time bridge, Moi. More I told them about the future as it is, the time bridge will be shorter. If the time bridge gets shorter, I’m the one who runs out of time in this world.”

I had understood why Risty always answered the cases presented to her with picture symbols when asked to see future incident. 

“But when my body runs out of time, my soul is in eternity, Moi. There is no beginning or ending. There is no time limit. A beautiful dimension and for this time I’m still enjoying this world.”

I was stunned. The gifted ones here were very complex. Sometimes my mind needed time to understand what they said.

For me Risty was like a philosopher, her words were like philosophy.

“And you, Moi. You are part of the future. The future is in your hands. The future is being staked and you are in the betting of future. I advise you Moi, the probability of the probability or the chance of getting a chance. When you down yourhall of time, if your choice is right… your hall of time is long, and if your choice is wrong… your hall of time is short. I hope your choice is right.”

I was speechless. I hadn’t to been able to speak, needed more time to understand Risty’s sentence. finally I emboldened myself to ask a question.

“How can I choose the right or my choice is true, Risty?”

“Why are humans different from other creatures, Moi? Why does humanity still exist?” Risty asked back.

“Because humans have nobleness, which is obtained from conscience. Nobleness creates ethics, law and various other legal products. A pure conscience when making decisions that affect peace for others, follow it. If the decision will cause damage and anger, don’t be followed. Don’t unchoose or be quiet, move and choose the option with the least risk. Have a pure conscience, Moi.” Risty continued at length.

I was stunned again. Risty was good at philosophizing. maybe her experience of exploring time into the future made her very mature.

I remembered when talking to Vicko, I found Vicko a genius who always goes deep in thought but was efficient in talking.

But this Risty too much new knowledge that I got but confused me.

“Unfortunately, if you want to write it into a novel, it would be spectacular.” I said.  

“Oh yah, Risty. I know that you are the daughter of General Manton who funded all of Chimera’s operations. Why doesn’t Risty ask your father to speed up handling Risty’s pain to get surgery soon so that you don’t get sick anymore?”

“Hahaha… Everything has its time, Moi. The time is not right yet. And I must not cross the bridge of time that ends in my destiny, as I said earlier. The doctor who will operate me may not be ready. My body is not yet in a good performance, everything has momentum. I just looked for the momentum.”

“If my choice is wrong in choosing the time, it can speed up the shortening of my time bridge and can even tear down my time bridge. It could be that the bridge is very difficult to cross. If forced it is precisely the bad things can immediately come up to me, and the people I should meet in the future are affected. The opportunities I get can be permanent disability and even death ends my journey.”

Today Risty was able to say long sentences. I was also happy to be able to have a long conversation.   

I held her thin hand. 

“Regarding Risty’s book, what would it look like if Risty isn’t allowed to tell the truth, talking about the future?” 

“Does the book contain pictures and symbols?” guessed Mrs. Rose

Risty smiled, 

“Yes, I drew some in the form of comics. There are also symbols there.”

“What the title of your book, Risty?” I asked.

“Future Paranoid.”She answered quickly.

“Wow, the title is really good.” I said admiringly.

“Haven’t you finished the book?” asked Mrs. Rose.

“It’s almost done, Mrs. Rose. Hopefully before I leave here it’s finished. When it was finished I want to give a copy to future warriors and heroes, it is Moira, Moira Gepardi.” 

I was touched, a daughter of the highest general from the island of Chimera appreciated me and even she memorized my full name.

“Be spirit, Risty. You can do it. If there’s something I need to help, I will help. For example, to look for cover illustrators, script editors and others.”

Risty looked at me. Her gaze was different from her usual gaze. 

“Thanks, Moi, for your support. I do need your help also Mrs. Rose’s help but not about books, May I?”

“Of course.” said Mrs. Rose immediately.

I nodded my head.

“What can I help you, Risty?”

The girl closed her eyes. 

“Now I can’t say yet. But later in time, I will definitely ask for the help both of you and other friends too.”

“Whatever it is, I’m ready to help you. I will definitely attend and help you as much as possible, Risty.” I assured her.

“Hopefully before I was surgery, all the storylines have been made. And later Moira and Mrs. Rose I’ll give the book when it has been printed. My book is the science fiction genre, so it is fiction.”

“May I see your book, Risty?” I asked.

Risty nodded.

I took the book in Risty’s hand and opened it. Even though I didn’t understand what the images meant, but at first glance it was very futuristic. There was a picture of a robot and its relationship with humans. The sketch was very plain like a sketch of kid a 6-8 year old but there was a picture jump whose associations confused me.

“Gosh, it’s cool. The picture is as much as this and very good. I write using a laptop sometimes I am really lazy, Risty. Great, your spirit really inspired me, Risty.” 

Mrs. Rose followed to look around Risty’s book. A unique picture was there, mixed with symbols.  

I have never seen such a bizarre creation, the pictures that were difficult for me to grasp its meaning in passing.

“Risty, can I ask for something to you?” I asked to her.

Risty glanced up me,

“What do you ask for, Moi? I hope I will leave a copy of this book in a few days. You can also ask me about your father, as long as you bring something related to him.”

I was wide-eyed. I thought Risty really knew my desire to ask about how my father’s condition, moreover in a few days Lord Jonah came to bring my entrusted.

“That’s not all Risty, I really appreciate your help and one more thing I ask. Ask for your father, General Manton, so that people here are released, they need assistance from psychologists and psychiatrists in the community.”

Risty was silent. her eyes seemed dreamy, then she answered slowly. 

“Papa Manton used to raise a lot of birds. The bird was in a large cage that its size is same with this my room. the sound of the birds chirping as if it were a sad song for me. Because I felt pity for them, I decided to open the cage so that they get freedom. Do you know what happened? A few days later I found their carcasses around my house, near the lush trees in front of the house, on the terrace, some were as if they wanted to return to their cages. So they are unable to live in the wild, Moi. As I said, everything has momentum Moi. not until one full moon after the sweet celebration day, surely true freedom is obtained.”

I was confused about the direction of the conversation and the meaning of Risty’s talk.

Suddenly I saw Risty’s eyes widen up. Risty’s body slipped from her pillow. The ballpoint dropped from her hand. I saw a small movement of her hand.

Nurse Reina burst into Risty’s bed.

“Risty is exhausted from talking to you.” Nurse Reina said while pressing the emergency button on the wall.

“Ouch… Sorry… sorry…” I said regretfully.

“Sorry, Miss Moira and Mrs. Rose, Risty’s body temperature rise again. Fever starts attacking. I have called doctor Stephan to come. Sorry, Risty must rest now.” Nurse Reina said while putting on an oxygen mask. 

Mrs. Rose held Risty’s pulse and looked at the panels on the monitor. Her face didn’t exude anxiety because knowing that Risty’s condition was still good. 

Risty was seen opening her eyes again, her neck drooping began to lift, her eyes glancing at us.

 “Ooh, yes. Forgive us Risty, sorry nurse Reina.”I said with guilt.

“Okay, beautiful Risty, I’ll go first. Tomorrow I’ll come again. Hopefully the book will be ready soon. Have a good rest.” Said Mrs. Rose. 

“Take rest first, Risty. You’ll get sick again later.” Nurse Reina reminded.

Risty’s hand waved at us who were inching out while Doctor Stephan came and looked at her condition. 

I stepped out of Risty’s room. I thought about Risty, the girl sometimes looked weak and fragile. At the same time, sometimes it seemed calm, intelligent and philosophical. It was hard to describe my feelings about Risty.

The girl seemed to know more about everything in this Chimera, but she couldn’t tell it to me, for a reason that I knew, it could reduce her age.

“Moi, for a visiting to Vicko tomorrow, I want to remind you. Vicko is a dangerous man. In my opinion, the attitude of you who chose to be alone with Vicko is not right.” said Mrs. Rose

“Mrs. Rose knows, for the relationship between the psychologist and the client there must be privacy.”

“Yes, Moi. But Vicko is no ordinary client. He is a martial arts expert and don’t forget… he is a dueling hero in sixteen times. It means, he was used to killing people. We worry about you.”

I forced a smile on my face while thinking that my strategy was to establish trust with Vicko. Try to dig data from Vicko as much as possible, because I didn’t know and doubt who was worthy of trust, besides Henry.

“Thanks. Mrs. Rose I will be more careful.” I replied.

I returned to my room while getting a little enthusiasm that access to ask questions about my father’s condition in the past with Angel or my father’s condition in the future with Risty was in sight, only a few days left when Lord Jonah brought daddy’s handkerchief.
