EXCERPT:
“You appear and then vanish like a ghost.
You aren’t injured from venomous snake bites. You aren’t killed by wayward,
incredibly sharp arrows.” Then, I reiterated, “I am the only one who can see
you…how is any of this possible?”
“You do
pay attention,” he said, sounding almost regretful, though I didn’t understand
why.
“Yes, now will you tell me how you are
capable of all that?”
He paused, still looking at me, as he
collected his thoughts. The muscles throughout his body visibly flexed, tensing
as he prepared his answer. “I have certain…gifts…that not many others can claim…gifts
of speed, healing, and regeneration, to name a few.”
He paused, waiting for my reaction.
“Don’t worry so much,” I said, teasingly.
“I’m not going to run screaming for the door.”
We quietly laughed together for a brief moment.
When I felt like he was comfortable
again, I asked my next question.
“So, where did you get these gifts? Did
your parents take some sort of special drug?”
“Not exactly. I can’t answer that, as much
as I know you’d like me to. Just suffice, Magdalene, to know that without these
gifts, you wouldn’t be here right now.”
