Chapter 397: Answers
Gyles
This is supposed to be ditation but I can’t focus because I am terrified of the outco of whatever we are doing. Rex is being very supportive right now--I didn’t even know I needed this.
"Just breathe,’’ he calls to
calmly.
I cross my legs as the prickly grass rubs against my skin roughly and take a couple of deep breaths. "I am right here if you need anything. Just call
out,’’ he adds and I nod because his presence is strong and comforting.
I am here now. Say what you want to say.
These are just thoughts in my head but they should be able to hear . I an, she is always invading my thoughts.
"I am here. I am here now. I am here. I am here, listening to you. say what you have to say,’’ I shout to the air opening my eyes. I see Rex and he is watching
quietly, I don’t an to freak out but I am exhausted.
"Do you really want to listen to
now?’’ I look above him and she is standing there. in the sa dress and no shoes. She looks beautiful. her eyes are fearful and her face is pale. the wind blows her hair freely.
"Can you see her?’’ I ask Rex--"He can’t see ,’’ she answers before he gets the chance to turn around. Her voice is soft and quiet, there is pain etched in the depth of the sound.
"Just focus on her, I am not here,’’ Rex tells
and I take it that he actually can’t see her.
"Who are you?’’ I ask her.
"Soone that needs your help,’’
I nod. okay, we are communicating. I an that is the point of this. if I let the fear get to , I wouldn’t listen to her.
"What do you want
to do for you then?’’ I ask her, trying to take control of this.
"Help ,’’ she answers and I close my eyes for a second. She is beating around the bush.
"Are you dead?’’ I ask her.
"Yes.’’
I inhale deeply. this is probably the most important question.
"What happened to you?’’
I see her face change, her expression change to sadness. it is hard to look at her. she is just a girl and I don’t know how to deal with this.
"It is alright. just tell
what happened to you,’’ I say to her softly.
"I was murdered, along with the rest of us’’ she tells , the way she looks at
makes
feel like this is hard for her to say.
I don’t know what to do "Why are you with the book of magic?’’
She closes her eyes and then goes on her knees, now she is next to Rex. His eyes are closed. I guess this is him giving
the chance to talk to her. I don’t know what she expects
to do. I don’t know how I am supposed to help her?
"It is the only way we can communicate with you. it is the only thing that is giving us our powers." She reaches for
and places her hands on . they are cold. it is so cold I think my insides are shaking. I just want to scream. this is too much for . "We all need your help.’’ She looks into my eyes; her eyes are so lovely. I can see a little bit of light in them.
"I am not sure what to do,’’ I tell her and she seems to understand.
"I am going to leave the book tonight, in your room. I want you to touch it and be open to the answers it will give you. I want you to see what happened to us and then maybe you can help us." She is backing off and I can’t bear to watch her leave. she looks so lost. I don’t know how to help but I know I have to do sothing.
"I will try. I will find you and help you,’’ I say to her and she smiles. she is not saying anything but I can tell that she is happy. I don’t know how to help her but I will try.
"Thank you, don’t forget, tonight in your room,’’ she says to
before disappearing in midair.
I look at Rex once she is gone and he is still ditating with his eyes closed. I want to talk to him but I can’t.
"You can open your eyes,’’ I tell him and he does. he looks around and then back at .
"Did you see anything?’’ I ask him. he looks at
and shakes his head. "She was here?’’ he asks
and I nod.
"She wants
to see what happened to her.’’ I don’t know what to do or what to say. I have no idea how I am supposed to help her. I didn’t even know it was possible to help her.
"Do you want to do it?’’ he asks .
"I don’t think I have a choice,’’ I tell him and he nods. we get up and start walking back.
I am supposed to do this tonight. I am supposed to be able to help her.
Because I have no choice and I think this is the only way I can be free from whatever curse this is.
"It is going to be okay. just relax,’’ he rests his hand on my shoulder and I feel better. I trust in his words completely. Just we are walking into the house, Blue ets up with us, probably confused that I decided to co outside.
"You’re outside,’’ he says pulling
into his arms with a wide smile on his face.
I lt into his arms because the support I have from the two of them is impeccable. I wouldn’t have been able to survive in this world without Blue and Rex in my life.
They are the ones that are going to get
through this.
