IT's power

No matter how hard I tried, I could not communicate with my father. Charles Wallace does not want to let father out, even though I requested for him to do that several times. Calvin and I could not figure out how to get my father out of that transparent column, until we decided to use Mrs Who's spectacles, because we thought that was the moment Mrs Who had been talking about. She said it was used as a last resort. Charles Wallace kept trying to snatch away the spectacles as I took them out and used it, but I kicked Charles away. Soon I was in the column, but after I while, I was out of the column again. I gave father the glasses, and soon, he could pass through the column too.

My father's attempts to pull him out of IT's grasp was in vain. I tried to ask Calvin to tell my father what happen before. Charles decided to lead us to IT, I tried to resist the temptation, but Calvin insisted on following Charles. When we near a dome that IT was in, IT started to grip onto me.

I forced myself to resist the rhythm that IT was using against me, by reciting a poem and the Gettysburg address like Calvin did before. My father commanded me to say out the periodic table of elements, but he said it was too rhythmical. Then he asked me to say out the square root of 5. "2.236" I spoke. Calvin then asked father to tesser. It was extremely painful, unlike tessering with the 3 Mrs Ws. I wonder why it was like that. Maybe the amount of pain you feel depends on the person you are tessering with. Then, I probably lost consciousness. I couldn't remember anything. The experience had overwhelmed me as if I had purposely slammed into a solid wall.
