The Beginning of the Change
I took a shower and
pulled my hair up in a bun, my mother hates when I pull my hair up she says it
takes away the mystery of my features. But I am angry with her for not
explaining what is going on with me. I just don’t understand how anything that
has happened is possible. I go to my room to look in the closet for something
to wear. I pulled out a blue sun dress that matches my eyes and my pail but
slightly sun kissed skin. I am an average looking girl nothing special. I do
not like to put too much make up on my dad has always like the natural look,
but mom wants me to look like more of a lady. So to make them both happy I put
eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss on for mom and the less the better for dad. As
I pulled the dress down over my head that feeling is back in the pit of my
stomach. It is getting stronger every few minutes. I cannot sit still I slip on
my flip flops to run down the stairs but it is getting worse I make a sound and
my mom calls out to me "Julia is that you? Your dad is coming down our
street now. Make sure you are ready!"
"Yes mom I hear
you. I am going to step outside for a minute to get some fresh air." I
told her. Thinking I could get away from people for just a minute I run into
most of the towns people on my lawn. They all say “hello” then I seen my father
pull into our driveway and I run back in the house to my room that is the only
safe place for me now. I know the townspeople will keep the new detective and
my father busy for a little bit.
I run past my mother on
the way back up to my room, "Julia, where do you think you are going your
father is here. We need to go welcome the new Detective." she said.
"I know mom but
since no one wants to tell me what is going on I have to go deal with the issue
at hand!" I told her as I turned and walked away.
"Julia I need to
know what is going on I have to keep track of the change to know when it is the
right time to explain what is going on!" she said. It stopped me in my
tracks I am embarrassed to tell her what it feels like.
So I look at her with
shock first of all and ask "What change? What are you talking about? You
want to know what feelings I am having it is a feeling that feels so good that
every sense in my body is on high alert I feel like butterflies are rippling up
my body OH!" I shiver and continue
"And as dad gets
closer to the house the more intense it gets. What is it? Is it a part of this
change you are talking about?" My mom is in shock she starts to walk
backwards shaking her head "It is impossible that he has found you so
soon, No one has ever found their eternal mate this soon." she said.
"Eternal mate! What
the HELL! I have never really had a boyfriend. How could I have an eternal
mate? What is an eternal mate?" I yelled at her.
"You watch your
language young lady! It usually takes two centuries to find ones eternal mate.
When did you first have this feeling?" She turned to look out the door.
"I did yesterday
when I walked into the Psychology Department at the University. It got strong
when I meet Detective O'Connor" I told her.
Her head snapped back so
fast I thought it was going to snap off and then she said "Did you just
say Detective O'Connor?"
"Yes, Detective
Redmond O'Connor" I looked at her and said then she told me to go to my
room while she spoke to my father. I turn and stomped like a child to my room,
even though I was going there anyway.
I open my bedroom door
and see a new e-mail sent from Detective O'Connor from his blackberry just a
few minutes ago. It reads:
Saturday 05/15/13
Dear Julia,
I
got the job! I know that you can feel the pull because I am outside your home
with your
Father and I cannot
stand out here too much longer having this feeling rippling through my body.
The only way to make it
subside is to be right next to each other so please come and join me soon.
Julia, I have waited so
long for you!
Your Eternal Mate
Detective
Redmond O'Connor
I fell against my
bedpost it is the only thing that kept me from hitting the ground. My legs are
numb and the heat that is building in my body is driving me crazy. I reached
for my door knob and swung the door open to only run straight into Detective
Redmond O'Connor.
"Hello! I knew I
felt you as soon as you came through the threshold of the department. I went
running down the hall as soon as I felt you coming and then I ran in to Dean
Johnson who said he had a student that was interested in my line of work and he
felt you were so excited that you got a serious case of cold chills when you
hit the department. I laughed a little inside because I know that feeling is no
cold chill. I can control how severe or how faint the sensations can be. The
closer the stronger the further away the faintest. But right next to each other
and they can be amazing but controlled because we are together." He said
looking at me deeply in my eyes.
"My mother said it
is impossible to find your eternal mate this soon. So how did you find
me?" I said confused.
"You cannot know
the details until you have made the change fully on Saturday when the moon has
aligned." he said as he took my hand and walked me down the stairs. I feel
so comfortable with him, this is so confusing.
Detective O'Connor walks
me outside to be with the rest of the townspeople to welcome him to the Coven
Hurst Sheriff's Department. I see some of my friends from school and walk over
to them. My best friend Rose was standing with her boyfriend Anthony and our
other friends the two Heathers. They are all planning on leaving this town to
go to school, but that just got a little more complicated for me.
