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.”
