Ertifferrah - Written By Elay Understood- CHAPTER 3 - THE AFTER PARTY 🎁 --- Elay TV Content Creator

 

Everything after that was almost a complete blur although she did remember having fun. It was late and all but a few invites to her party had gone home. They remained gathered in a small room off from the dining area.

Jacuzzi filled with aromatherapy crystals, Ertifferrah soaked, taking in, finally, what she’d done throughout the day. Stepping out of the water, she wrapped a large, bear, faux-fur throw around her wet body and walked across the heated marble floors unto the carpeted area where her bed stood.

In the corner of the room stood a mirror and next to that, a chair. Over the back of it, she laid out her Sun Goddess dress. Walking to take one final look at it before turning in for bed, she reflected on the moment when she had told others how she truly felt about Integrity.  Knowing that if she searched hard enough, finding someone who felt the same way couldn’t be too hard; even if it did lead to persecution and ridicule during her search. 

The desire to share the way she felt about Integrity with someone at times became too much to bear. With that in mind, she took off the earrings and set them on a stand, turned around to bed and ambled forward until, suddenly, she heart a tap, tap, tapping…

It couldn’t have been the door because the sound didn’t come from anywhere near that area. Nor could it have come from the large, arched, window, since, the way it was designed, no glass was needed to protect her from natures elements and heaven forbade, thieves. This was another of the many reasons why she loved her land of Akasha. It was virtually safe from the physical harm of man. There was a level of respect that people had for one another and their belongings, so there was no need for locks or windows. The only thing separating her from the outside was a thin sheet which hung around the frame of the window. –And so, the tapping sound was definitely not coming from anywhere normal.

She turned around and walked back to the corner of the room where the dress was. A flash of astringed, yellow light hit the side of her head, filling it with thumping pain as if something inside had exploded! Cupping her hands around her ears, she squints her eyes shut. A voice wailed inside her head, but whatever it was saying, didn’t come through clear enough to understand.

The voice sounded as if it was far away yet close. An intense sound all around her of waters rushing and filling an empty vessel poured into her soul. The invasion she was experiencing crowded her with the sensation of drowning into the depths of a ravaging sea. 

Finally, despite the loud crash of waters, the voice became clear enough for her to hear is shouting: YOU HAVE TO SAVE ME! THERE ARE OTHERS WHO KNOW!” 

The image of Ertifferrah standing in front of the mirror at the party flashed before her. She was brought back to the moment of recognition when she knew she had to let everyone know just how important Integrity is. Filled with convection to tell the masses, her spirit is enlivened as she realized what her purpose in life is.

Suddenly, it all stopped. The waters receded. In reverse motion, the room returned to how it was before it was torn to shambles. Everything that had been knocked down went back to where it was as if nothing ever happened. The room was back to normal- at least for a moment.

“Tap, tap, tap.” The sound was quieter this time.

Holding her breath, Ertifferrah figured out where the sound came from and turned to look at the mirror. There she was, the woman in the mirror! Her face pressed against the glass as if searching with her eyes for a way to cross over. The woman continued tapping on the glass and then suddenly stopped. Slowly standing up, her body moved slickly like a snake which scared Ertifferrah into almost having a mild heart attack. 

Now on her feet, the woman in the mirror folded her arms across her chest and locked eyes with Ertifferrah, winking and nodding her head, confirming that what just happened actually had.
