CATRIONA
Are you by chance talking about Jayden? I asked her.
And do you by chance have a third boyfriend? She asked in disdain.
“What… a third boyfriend?” I assume you’re not deaf, so you heard what I said. Now I want you to follow me. She said,
“Listen woman, I am not going anywhere with you without being clarified of what you baffled.” Did you kill Jayden? I asked. For now he’s not dead, but he will and that includes the two of you. Since you’re his mate you have to help him get back in his body. She said,
Are you saying that his spirit got out of his body, and was here, and saw me making out with another man? I nervously asked.
Now I get what you two did that made his body react. Yes, his spirit was here all the time you were here, but not anymore, I am afraid that we might lose him. And that’s what we don’t want. He has to fulfill his duty before dying. She said,
Are you for real? How can you say something like that to my boyfriend? You want him to come back in his body and then kill him? Is that what you’re saying? I asked. There’s no time for Q & A. If you love your boyfriend, follow me and I’ll take you to where his body is. Wow, I really can’t stand this three-head woman. I feel the urge to push myself out of my hiding and smash that woman’s three heads, but I have to carefully think before I do something that I’d regret.
You did the right thing pumpkin, this is a great opportunity for us to find out where Jayden is. We will talk about what happened after leaving this damn world. Gabriel said through mindlink. It still bothers me that I am not his mate but I can hear him talking to me through my head. I didn’t get enough explanation from Jayden.
Go pumpkin and find out. Gabriel said.
Okay, I’ll follow you. I said to the woman without looking at Gabriel. She smiled and enjoined someone to come and blindfold me…
No way.. Gabriel and I yelled at the same time bewildering the woman. If you want me to follow you, no blindfolding. My eyes are tired of the indoor light. They need some natural light. I said my head tilted. I gave her a long gaze waiting for her reply. She wasn’t amazed at all but she had no choice but to accept my demand.
Alright then, I’ll not blindfold you, you’ll die anyway. So I don’t see why. Follow me. She said, I was now nervous and hesitant to follow her alone without any backup. “And that backup is Gabriel.
“He’s coming with me. I said to her, She sniggered, ” ooh princess, are you scared that we might gobble you up? Don’t worry because we won’t. At least not yet. And I say no for you to come with your boyfriend. She said and sauntered out.
Be confident pumpkin. You can do it. And I promise you that I’ll take both you and Jayden back home safely. Gabriel said to me through mindlink as I sauntered out as well.
I followed her down the long stairs and outside. When we stepped out I was surprised when I saw how beautiful this place looks. Is this a fairy world? Wow…. I’ve never seen this kind of beauty on the other side of my world. I moved my eyes around and I almost fell down when I saw the place we came out of. It was a large, tall tree that had no limit. This tree is larger than the general Sherman tree.
Aren’t you coming? She asked, interrupting my inspections.
We walked for a long distance until we stopped at another large two trees that were attached together, and I made sure that I reported every single detail to Gabriel. What surprised me was that I didn’t see any houses around. What kind of world is this that has no houses?
She led me inside the tree….
There were no stairs in this tree house or whatever they call it and it didn’t smell like woods either. Stop right there. She said to me, I did as she said and she went into the corner. There was a greenish light that brightened up. In less than a minute she came back and told me to lead myself. Your boyfriend’s body is inside there. Am giving you thirty minutes to bring him back into his body. She said, I didn’t ask her anything and just sauntered forward and into the corner where I saw the opened door.
When I entered inside, she closed the door. I gasped when I saw where he’s laying. He was in the center of this empty room floating in the air with the whiff of white smoke coming out of his naked body. I ran forward to where he’s floating and gazed at him warily. He seems fine.
Why is he floating like this?
Now what should I do?
I brought my hand to touch him but stopped it in the air when I recalled what that woman said. Was his spirit really there?
Jayden, I know that I am wrong from what I did with Gabriel. You must be hating me now because you feel like I betrayed you. I really don’t know how I am going to face you but it wasn’t intentional for me to kiss Gabriel. You’re still the one for me. That kiss didn’t mean anything because you’re the one I love and want to spend the rest of my life with…
Now what am I supposed to do? How am I going to bring him back? And Gabriel’s voice that was killing me with questions had slipped away from my head. I kept on giving him the feedback but he wasn’t responding to me.
I touched Jayden’s body which was very stiff and moved my hand up his head.
Jayden my mate, can you hear me? If you do, please come back to me. I need you. And your people need you too. Please come back so that you can fight me about what I did… mmm, i love you and miss you Jayden. So please come back from wherever you are. I said with tears in my eyes. Even though a lot has happened, he’s the one I love. He’s the only man that made me feel like I am wanted. He’s the one that made me feel proud of myself, he made me feel like I’m a woman and a special one. Not as a woman of bad luck and problems.
I was still in the same posture staring at my mate feeling hurt and broken when that three- headed woman barged in. The time I gave you is over. It’s time to take you back to your other boyfriend. She said, No, I am not going anywhere. Am staying here with my mate. I said. I don’t have time to play games girl, you failed to do your job in the given time, now you can get out. She said, I said I am not leaving. I yelled in her face. her expression changed and tried to drag me by force. When I tried to avoid her grasp, her fingernails lacerated my hand. I winced feeling the pain and blood started oozing out.
Why are you being stubborn? Do you want to join him now? The woman said aggressively. I trembled and went staggering backwards. My wounded hand became heavy to lift it so I rested it onto Jayden’s body. His body feels like stone pedals.
The woman started coming toward me looking dangerous and sinister.
You can do whatever you want but I won’t move an inch away from my mate. Am not scared of you, you evil woman. She sniggered and increased her pace to harm me but she didn’t get to me because I suddenly fell down with Jayden. The woman fell down as well, stunned.
I looked down shocked at Jayden who was gravely staring at the woman.
If you touch her again I’ll tear your heart out and then rip you into pieces. Jayden said, his voice very weak.
It’s not impossible… How did you heal so fast from that virus? The woman asked with a stunned face.
Because my mate healed me. He replied and then looked me in the eyes, and weakly smiled, you healed me my love.
