Verse jumping

Kim pulled up the jeans to her waist and did a little spin for the mirror.

"Put that in the keep pile", Eleanor said.

"Whether it fits or not I'll still have to keep it", Kim replied.

"I could take it off your hands, if you don't mind"

Ding ding the doorbell chimed

"Are you expecting someone?"

"Ya, food for us", Kim said with a 'don't-you-want-to-eat' kind of look.

"Hi. Thank you", she grabbed the food and headed back to the living area where they were having the clothing haul.

"Did you order some corn for me", Eleanor asked pulling up a pair of jeans that obviously wouldn't fit.

"You're actually obsessed with corn at this point. Were you asleep when you ordered those? Just put it in the charity pile. LET'S EAT."

"I'm off to the salon. See you when I get back.", Kim screamed from the door.

Eleanor was on the phone with her client when Kim left. She was a content writer and they were discussing what the client needed.

She had some lunch as she didn't have to head to the pharmacy today and went to bed.

"Mistress, mistress we must get you ready for your ritual cleansing", were the first words Eleanor heard and a bright light shining on her face. Did someone pull down her wall.

"Zela, Zela, get up. You're late. You're usually the one preparing yourself for the ritual before we get here, is something wrong? Why aren't you ready?", Zela's mother asked.

*In Eleanor's World: Earth*

"yo, get your lazy ass out of that bed Elle", Kim announced on her arrival.

Zela who had been sitting in Eleanor's bed for the past 30 minutes staring at her face in awe and surprise at how alike she looked to this being she had transported into. She had actually been trying to learn verse jumping for some years and when she finally hacked it she didn't get her target but at least now she could verse jump. The blue moon festival back in her world was held yesterday so she had nothing to fear . So all she needed to do was communicate with this 'Elle' that she had become so they would set up a date to reverse back to their original bodies.

"why are you just sitting there looking at the mirror like that?", Kim just had to ask cause she was staring for 5 minutes straight.

"When is the next blood moon?"

"Blood moon? So you stay away from the pharmacy for one day and you're into voodoo!? Haaa!", she let out her annoying one syllable laugh.

"Kim will not let you do that"

"But Elle needs to know, or she'll never be able to get back home."

"The fxck is wrong with you girl. You're scaring me."

"There's no time to explain and even if I did you wouldn't understand or even believe. I just need to know when the next blood moon is."

"I don't know, Google it. You're acting really weird."

"Google. Is that some sort of spell or sorcery."

"Girl, you're really creeping me out. Your phone's on the bedside table. Pick it up and into the G-bar on your home screen."

Zela rushed over to the table and picked up the phone, it lit up immediately. She finally maneuvered past the lock screen and it was asking for some sort of passcode now. This was advanced sorcery. "How did they get words to fit into this tiny box?"

Kim just stood at the door staring at her acting all weird.

"Girl turn on the lights and face the damn front camera."

What's a camera? She thought to herself.

The sorcery had changed it's demeanor and she found a colorful G on the screen maybe it was a portable medium for consulting the gods and goddesses. She typed, "when is the next blood moon?"

"3 weeks from now!?", Zela yelped. "But that gives me enough time to save up energy and recite my incantations and get ready for contact", Zela said to herself whilst she paced back and forth in the room.

"I don't know what is happening and I had a long day already. I'm just gonna have a shower, dinner and some sleep."

There was a red moon every other day on her planet and she had no problem.

*in Zeta: Zela's world*

"We must get to the canal before time is up. Mistress Zela", Zela's assistant said.

"What has gotten into you today? You won't eat? You won't speak? Is there something bothering you? Have the superiors revealed something of great importance to you or the nation?"

She didn't respond.

"Let's give them some space. Talk to her maybe she'll let you know", the room was emptied with only Eleanor and Zela's assistant preistess.

"Zela…"

"I'm not this Zela that you keep calling. She's not me, I'm not her. She may look like me on the exterior but she is not me. I come from Earth.."

"shhhhhh", the assistant priestess said.

"Zela is the priestess here and you should be careful of what you say. I knew you were not her the moment I walked through the door but not everyone can be trusted within this realm especially hand servants."

"I'm Eleanor"

"I'm Krae and until we are able to get you back to your world, I am your assistant. Here to serve you. Spiritually I may be nothing to you but physically I am your subordinate. We must leave here before the others get suspicious"

"What is this festival about and why do they have to cover the priestess in this red colored stuff? It's so sticky and disgusting"

" It's the cleansing of the priestess after the blue moon. Every twenty-five days in Zeta the gods and goddesses honor us with a blue moon and reveal themselves to the priestess which is you right now. You will reveal what they told you and cleanse yourself in preparation for the next blue moon."

"what did they reveal to me?"

"We don't know yet we'll have to come up with a plan. We'll find out the next blood moon on your planet and communicate with Zelta so we'll know what to do. For the time being, we'll tell everyone to hold on that they have asked us to wait a while before revealing the information."
