Scatterings  

Chpt5


 She floated on the wind, away from the scene of her last feed, she shuddered
no more nasty ones it wasnt worth it, subdued by the memories of the way he
died, Troya decided that it was time to rest, she needed to cleanse her mind
of the lingering after effects of his diseased thoughts, gliding gently down
on a cross draft she scanned ahead, her nose wrinkled, she caught the not
unpleasant smell of something musky, animal she decided, not a threat to
her, a good place to rest for the night.

 Her scanning had told her that there wasnt a human for miles within the
outside of the barn she had landed in front of, the heavy scent and massed
warm bodies had prevented her from taking a scan of the inside of the barn,
and she assumed that she and the cows would be alone, she nudged open the
door with her mind and entered, the cows startled awake from their sleep,
began to moo and she quickly shushed them with a command.

 Just then a voice called out, "Who's there, I warn you I have a gun and I'm
not afraid to use it". Cursing herself for not taking a proper check, Troya 
quickly dropped back to the form she had just used and called out, for the
voice was female, "I didnt mean to startle you, I was cold and tired and all I
want is somewhere to sleep thats warm". There was a rustle and a figure
dropped from the loft, brushing bits of hay from her body, she pointed a
dim torch at Troya, passing it over her body, "You alone?" her voice was
heavy with suspicion. "Sure I'm alone, to tell you the truth, I was on a
date and the guy I was with got pissed with me cos I wouldnt fuck him, so
he kicked me out of the pickup and left me, I've been walking for an hour
trying to find somewhere with a phone so I can call my folks" Troya's voice
trembled as she assumed another `suitable' role.

 "Dressed like that girl, you was just asking for trouble, that's a come
fuck me outfit if ever I've seen one, all men are the same, they think with
their cocks, and think that every woman on earth is put there for their
pleasure, well not me sister, last guy who tried to get in unasked into my
pants wont forget it in a hurry".

Pausing, Troya quickly connected with the girls mind, the last thing
she needed was a female Henry, the girl spoke the truth, perhaps her
solution had been a bit brutal, but so was the violence/rape that had
been visited on her, an eye for an eye,  her attacker wont be doing
that again, lacking as he was now, a vital piece of equipment.
Brutal but effective, swift justice, done out of necessity not lust.

 Having made sure that Troya was alone, the girl lit a lamp, under the
increased light Troya could see that she had the look of someone who had
lost their way and couldnt find the right direction, with nightmares and
memories like she had seen in her quick mind scan, it was no wonder, the
violation of her body had left severe mental scarring, even if the physical
scars had healed. Holding her hands out so that the girl could see
that she had nothing concealed on her, Troya walked toward her, and sat
down on a bale of hay "Whats your name?, mines Troya". The girl stared at
her for a bit and then said "People call me Kel. You hungry Troya? I got
some cold ham and some tomatoes, you can share with me"

 Since Troya didnt actually need to eat in the same way humans did, she
declined, saying that her "date" had fed her before he tried to get on with
her, which was true after a fashion, Kel didnt press for any more details
on what had happened, accepting Troyas' story at face value, and Troya
certainly didnt press Kel for more details, she could 'see' the full
distressing episode being played over and over in Kels' mind, humans were a
savage race, seemingly caught in a depressing cycle of violence towards
each other, but mostly violence from the male of the species to the female
of the species.

 After Kel had eaten her meal she invited Troya to stay the night and share
the loft, away from the cows, it was warmer in the loft Kel explained that
the heat from the cows rose and got trapped in the straw, and if you
ignored the pokes from the straw it was quite a comfortable way to spend
the night. Troya certainly didnt want to look for somewhere else to sleep
at this time of the night, and something inside her made her feel that she
was needed here, and at this time, for some reason.

 Of course Troya didnt really need to sleep either, but she did need to
replenish her inner core , and that entailed a deep trance like state, almost
like sleep, but unlike sleep Troya was ready for instant action if need
be. Settling down, Kel quickly fell asleep.

 Troya closed her eyes, in an instant she was on a path, the path leading
to her source, the sky was a vivid green and purple colour and was soothing
to her earth attuned eyes, this was the home planet of the Homnoi, however
no corporeal Homnoi had walked here in millenia, all Homnoi were scattered
throughout the many galaxies, but all Homnoi knew how to get back here, it
was imperative that a Homnoi visit the source at least once during their
life span, this was Troyas' first visit, the path led her through a landscape
totally devoid of features, until there in front of her was a immense
barrier, smooth and glasslike, touching it with one wing tip, PAIN, blinding
agonising PAIN, the colours bled from the sky, a whirlwind vortex filled her
mind, Henrys memories, so carefully hidden and repressed marched through her
mind with sickeningly realistic clarity, she couldnt escape, it hurt, she
was on fire, still she couldnt let go, obscenity after obscenity paraded 
round her conciousness, using all her strength she pushed through the
barrier and started falling.
