Chapter5 Calei built her house in America, near the foothills in the second set of mountains, which happened to be the smaller one. She built her home near the fifth lake in a string of large lakes, it was next to a long river that hooked up with the ocean. Calei built her house out of large boulders, melted together from eye lasers and it kept in heat very well. Since she was a child, she couldn’t get a job so she had to hunt. She created traps that worked well and she used almost every part of the animals that she got. Every animal had it’s uses, like rabbit furs were great slippers and rabbits made great stew. Every day, she would concentrate to feel what the weather would be like for that day. Each time she did it, it would become easier for her to tell exactly what the weather would be. “Hmmm...a scorcher today...perfect.” she thought. She needed lots of sun to keep her stone house warm. “Maybe I should try to make things with my ki..” she thought. She concentrated on making a grape. She pictured the grape in her mind and formed a little ball of energy in the same shape. she concentrated harder on the grape and then there was a flash of light and there was a grape, not energy. “Wow..” she said astonished. “I can’t believed that worked.” She concentrated on larger things and most worked. She then tried to make living things such as ants or other insects, but nothing lived. She tried harder to make the bugs live but they didn’t. She actually gave up on that, ’till a later day maybe... She then tried to make clothes. She wrapped energy around her, causing a bright light that seemed to be white. She thought of what she should be wearing, so she made jeans and sneakers, with an oversized white tee shirt. “Maybe I should go to school...” she thought. “I wonder if my mother would have liked me to go to school...maybe I should...” She decided to make a small garden so she didn’t have to eat meat all the time. Even though she could make her instant food, it still helped to have a hobby that kept her busy all day. “ I don’t have to go just yet, I think I can wait a year...” she thought. Just then, a small glowing yellow ball went flying past her head. She was interested in what it could be, so she jumped up and went flying after it, following it. It was flying at a very high rate, and then stopped. She watched as the little yellow sphere turned from a little ball, to a rock as it plummeted down to the ground. She dove after it, just barely grabbing it before it hit the ground. “That was close!” she said as she let out a long breath of air. She just realized that she had been holding it. “Now I wonder how you did that little trick...” she said down to the little ball. “Hmmmm....maybe I should keep you for a little while, to see if you change back...” She kept herself busy, adding new little additions to her house, constructing the whole outside from stone. She liked her house to be different, so she made all of the corridors out of the same kind of stone, and she created maze-like hallways so that if anyone ever decided to rob her house, or something like that, only she would know where each room led to. She had one kitchen, one bathroom, one living room, and one bedroom before her recent additions. She had added a dining room, a library, another bedroom, office, and another bathroom. It had taken her 6 months to complete her additions, and it was winter. Almost time for Christmas, but this year, she’d celebrate it alone. She suddenly felt a great sadness come over her, and she tried to push it away. She had forgotten about her little round stone, and she wanted to see if it had changed. She had to do a complete search of her house to find it, and it had taken her 2 days to do so. She finally found it in an extra little cubby-hole room that she had made because there was extra melted rock to be used. She had made it as a little storeroom to keep some small possessions. It was fairly well hidden, and she had to crawl through a small hole that served as a crawl space to the storeroom. She found it and she was greatly disappointed because it hadn’t changed at all. She flew around the world, finding the best looking boulders to build with. She concentrated on making them float around her so she wouldn’t have to make a couple thousand trips to deposit them at her house. She had maybe 3000 huge boulders floating in the air next to her when she flew off to her house. She decided to postpone the building of her new additions until May, when the ground had completely thawed. She dropped the stones in a huge pile near the house and she then flew off to get more. She went to Japan, where her old house used to be. When she got there, she saw that it was cleaned up a bit, but nobody had taken over the land. She had lived in the foothills of some mountains, next to a rushing brook and some beautiful trees. She was going to do a new project-rebuild her old house and fix part of her broken life up.
