patiently waiting for me to tell him what my most recent vision held. I don't want to voice it, fearing that if I put it to words that will make it real. Thankfully he doesn't push me to tell him anything; instead he is content to just hold me.
Chapter 19
Arsema
When I return to my body it is by force. I am thrown forth. One minute I'm no-where, feeling nothing, and them BAM! I am back in my body and immediately I sense something is wrong. I don't hear anything out of the ordinary in the house and yet I have a horrible foreboding feeling. I listen closer and hear Reine talking to Haas, it sounds like they are arguing over The Vampire Diaries. Reine is in love with the show even she isn't able to watch it often and Haas believes it is all crap. I chuckle to myself completely agreeing with Reine.
I am distracted by their banter and that causes me to drop my guard for just a moment. I feel like my heart is being ripped from chest and the pain is so extreme I think I may pass out. Then I hear Erik in my thoughts. Go forth mo inion, my daughter, go forth and conquer the great evil. Fulfill your destiny just as I have fulfilled mine. And know that I will forever be with you.
NO!!!!!
I know what his cryptic message means even if my mind won’t allow me to accept it. He is gone. I don't know how and I don't know why, but I feel deep in my soul that he is no longer here amongst the living. Suddenly I feel a rush of power, the strength of which I never could have dreamed of flood my body, my mind, my soul. I sense Erik and his love in the undercurrents of the power and as it joins with my own I know that this is his gift to me. This is his way of helping me now that he can no longer guide me.
I feel the power expand within me, stretching to new limits and molding with my own to become one force. When the process has been completed I feel exhilarated. I will make him proud. I will do anything and everything I can to be the person I was born to be but not until I get out of this coma. I am sick of being here and I'm ready to go! As soon as I think the thought I'm awake. Whatever fissure in my soul that caused me to be weakened and vulnerable is now gone, healed thoroughly by the last gift of a loving father gone too soon.
I attempt to pull my legs over the side of the bed and realize pretty quickly that even though I may be awake, I am not completely healed. My body is weak from lying motionless for the last few months and I know it will take some effort to get it back in the shape it was prior to falling into a coma.
“Haas! Reine! A little help here!” I yell to the living room with my scratchy voice. Reine is the first one through the door and she is by my side in seconds. Haas stops in the doorway and by the look on his face I know he understands that something big has occurred for me to be able to awaken. I can't even begin to comprehend the last few minutes. I don't want to think about continuing my life without my dad in it, even though I know deep in my heart that I have no choice at this point. He is gone. I feel that. My heart breaks a little more every time I think of him being killed out there all alone. I should have been there, fighting by his side. I should have protected him or at the very least had his back in battle.
“Arsema, I'm so happy to see you awake and moving. But how?” He asks.
“It’s a long story, I think... I can't…” I tell him, tears filling my eyes at the thought of my father’s death.
I have literally just found him after seventeen years of not knowing about him at all and within the first year I have lost him too. How much more loss can I handle? How much more must I endure? First my mom and stepfather die in a house fire and then just months ago my Grans, my rock after the loss of my parents, and now my real father. Gone. I didn't even
