My father and Detective O'Connor all shook their head in agreement. My mother looked at her watch and
got up from her computer shut it off and grabbed her purse turned the lights
off. I heard her tell my father in the hall I will see you in a couple of hours
for the events. I love you be careful. Detective O'Connor I will see you there also I hope?”
“I have some things to
think about remember but I will be there as soon as I can.” He told her.
“Just remember she needs
you also! It will be for the best you know that right?" My mother told him.
“Yes Mrs. Wholeheart I
know I just don’t know if I can!” he took my mother’s hand and squeezed it. My
mother shook her head as to say she understood what he was saying. I thought of
my room and I was there within minutes.
My alarm was going off I
slammed my alarm clock on the floor. Why all the lies and secrets, well I am
going to do my own investigation to find out about Alaina Rivers! I had made
the decision to do it without help from my family or Detective O'Connor. God
how I missed him, just saying his name makes me want him near me. My computer
dinged so I got up still feeling groggy I opened it and an e-mail from Ryan was
there:
Monday 05/17/2013
Julia,
I wanted to apologized
for my actions in front of your guest at the gathering Saturday! But I do not
apologize for the kiss. I hope that we can speak at the event today I am
looking forward to hanging out with you. As you probably do not know I have
already made the change about 6 months ago. But there is something different
with yours I can see it in you that you are special. I want to be a support for
you but also I have been seeing a man and a woman when I travel and learn my
gift of the Water element. The women has asked me to give you a message but
only when we are alone. I think she is in trouble or something. But the man is
quiet and stays in the shadows, it is creepy but he seems to be looking for
something or someone. Anyway I will talk to you later this morning and maybe we
can go into town to the Cafe and talk. I really do hope that you decide to go
to Kentucky with me. Please just think about it. I have the picture you drew of
me when we first started dating. You are really good I think Kentucky has a
great Art program also just for a hobby or something.
See you soon,
Ryan
If Ryan has made the
change he must know that Detective O'Connor is my eternal mate. But why is he
still trying to be with me? Why does he want me to leave with him so bad? Since
he has made the change maybe he can be the one person I can trust to help me
find out what is going on? “Ryan is trustworthy and strong with his powers
he is assigned to be your protector. He knows what he needs to do to keep you
safe, please trust me my child you will find your answers that you seek but
don’t trust all that come to you feel for the light of good magic or the
blackness of dark magic. But do not feel too deep if you touch the dark magic
to much it can invade you. Trust what you touch, the light is warm and
comforting, and dark magic is cold and chilling you will know which magic you
touch with a slight glide of your finger reaching from your mind to theirs. But
again my child be careful! Blessed be!” the strange voice was back again.
So Ryan is my protector. Then my plan is set in action.
I took a shower dried my
hair but something told me to let it flow long today. So I brushed it and
straightened my hair. My hair looks lighter for some reason maybe it is the
lighting in the bathroom my mom is trying to use the more “energy efficient
light bulbs”. Anyway I slid on a pair of khaki shorts and a lace tank top blue
with a white tank top under it. I went back to my room to get out my drawing
supplies and I sketched out two pictures of the White blonde now known as
Alaina Rivers and the mystery man from the school and the picture from the
police station that my dad showed my mother. I am hoping that Ryan can tell me
if it is also them that he is seeing. One more picture came to mind I started
that sketch on canvas. The eyes drew me in and I could not stop drawing of a
time that I saw Detective O'Connor set in the shadows and upset because he was
worried about me in my living room. In that moment I swear I could see the real
Detective O'Connor. This portrait is for me never will it be for anyone else
ever!
A knock on my door
startled me my dad poked his head around the door and saw my supplies out on
the bed. He grinned “I am glad to see you drawing again! It has been so long
you are an amazing artist Julia, you should organize an art show for charity
and show your work?” My dad said with so much love behind his words.
“I will think about it
maybe for charity and the Sheriff’s Office!” I said with a raised eyebrow. He
smiled and walked over to see what I was working on I had to hurry and shove
the other two portraits into the open desk drawer so that he could not see
them.
“I do not think he has
ever shown the true O'Connor but you have sure drawn him perfectly. I would be
honored to have you set up at the Sheriff’s office for a show the department
needs the help so we will do it soon. But right now your mother is waiting to
get the next event going.” He said
My father gave me a slight
bump with his hip. I placed my supplies and portrait on the bed and wiped my
hands off and took my father’s hand and walked down with him to the front down.
I took a deep breath and walked outside.
As I walked through the front door to go out with my father he was no
longer on my side. Great Uncle Glenn was there the sun shined in my eyes
and then as we stepped out on my porch it became quite clear that it was still
my porch just before my time again!
