Zenovia

“I…I felt something,” I muttered, and subconsciously pulled Callahan toward me. He let me as I almost bumped into his

chest.

“That is great,” He said and added, “Close your eyes and keep trying. Focus on that feeling”

I nodded excitedly and closed my eyes again. I tried to sense it again, my mind searching for that tug I had felt in the back of my stomach as if something was pulling at me.

But there was nothing.

I focused hard, but again I felt emptiness. Feeling nervous, my eyes flew open, and I blurted out worriedly,

“It… it is gone. I can’t feel anything. I…can’t”

“Shh,” Callahan responded, placing a finger on my lips to silence me.

The gesture was so intimate that I shuddered involuntarily. He didn’t seem to notice it.

“It will come to you. Believe in it. Believe in yourself. Keep trying. I am right here”

Callahan said in a soothing voice, and I let myself calm down. This was a new side of Callahan to me.

I had never seen him speak so gently to anyone, and I had never imagined him doing that to me.

His voice was soft like a caress, bathing me in a warm feeling.

I closed my eyes as my fingers held onto him tightly and tried searching for that pull. I had begun praying to the moon goddess again. I had definitely not imagined it.

“Please, please, let it happen” My mind was chanting and suddenly out of nowhere I felt a bolt of current pass through me.

It seemed to emerge from the base of my stomach and travel up, shooting straight towards my spine and traveling upwards.

“Aah,” I winced and grabbed onto Callahan’s hand tightly.

The next few moments were something I would never forget.

Pain, blinding and visceral, tore through me. It was as if a beast that had been in a deep slumber was awakening from its slumber, shaking the cave it had been resting in for so long.

“Aah,” I cried again and felt my knees wobble. My entire body was shaking and I couldn’t find the strength to keep standing.

I crashed to the ground, and I felt a much larger thud resound beside me. Despite the pain, I noticed a pair of hands were still holding me tightly, not letting me go.

But the pain was too intense to let me focus on anything else.
