Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 14

Lenora lunges across the table, sailing over top of me, causing the person who had grabbed me to let go. I hear growling and snarling as she fights with the person. At the same time, Ashley grabs me by the wrist and pulls me away from the scuffle. She runs into the bathroom and locks the door.

 

“Kas, are you okay?" Ashley holds both sides of my face, Come on, Kas, answer me, please.”

 

I feel myself looking at her, but I feel numb. Like my mind is separating from my body. There is a high pitched hum taking over my hearing. Even Lex is trying to call me but she sounds so far away. I can't feel her like I usually do.

 

Ashley is patting my face. I see her talking to me, but I can't hear her anymore. All I hear is the steady high pitched hum. My body starts shivering i n fear. I need to calm down. Lenora and Ashley are going to make sure I’m safe. I try to breathe but there's no air. - Lenora's face comes into view. I see her mouth moving but all I hear is the humming. Oh no! She has a busted lip.

 

How did that happen? I reach up and touch where it's cracked open and bleeding. There is a split second of purple light just as the world turns black. I hear Bronx calling my name in the darkness. He's so far away. I don't know how I'll ever get to where he is. I call out his name so he knows where I am. The more I call him, the closer he sounds.

 

“Kas, can you hear me? Are you there?" Lex calls out. I reach out and I can feel _ her spirit.

"I'm here, Lex. Thank Goddess I found you!”

 

“Kas, it's time to come out of this darkness. Bronx needs you to go to him.

 

He's scared. Come on, follow me. We'll d o this together. Call for him again so he can find us," I start calling out his name louder until I can feel Bronx very close.

 

My eyes open and find I’m in his arms at the packhouse.

“Bronx? How did I get here? I was at the mall, then I got lost in darkness. I could hear you. Lex found me and led me back, " T try to put my thoughts in order.

 

“Oh Kas! Thank the Goddess. Why do you keep scaring me like that?" he tucks a piece of hair behind my ear and presses his forehead against mine, then pulls back so he can look at me again.

 

“What happened?" I ask, confused, " How did I get back here?” Lenora and Ashley burst into the room crying and talking at the same time. I reassure them I'm fine and they calm down. Once they collect themselves, they explain everything that happened at the mall.
