to find him somewhere to go after I do. Do you understand?” She shook her head. “You are a clever young woman. I’m sure that it will occur to you once you have had a chance to meet him again.”
“ I don’t know what’s going on.” He didn’t say anything, and Kala got up to pace as she worked through what was going on. “I’m betting that when I wake, I’ll not remember any of this, will I?”
“ You will remember what you wish to remember.” She wanted to hit Him over the head with something. But all that was in the large room was two chairs and a table that they both had been sitting at. “You are not happy with me, are you?”
“ No, I’m not. You’re talking in circles and expect me to get it later. Well, I don’t have until later. There’s a mad man out to kill me.” Boss nodded at her, and Kala decided that whatever it was she’d had to eat today, she was—something occurred to her. “There was a feather. I had one in my hand, and I was using it….”
Flushing , she felt her face heat up when He laughed. “You did indeed. Most people would have simply tossed it away, but you found its one use that no one else has. It was the bond between the two of you that brought you to the point where you are now. I would hope that you’d be able to summon Riss when this is finished, but I believe your connection now is as solid as anyone’s.”
“ I want to wake up.” He stood up, and she took a step back when His wings spread wide behind Him. “Riss has wings as well?”
“ He does. And someday I will allow him to tell you all about them. It’s time for you to wake now, Kala. There is a man awaiting you in your living room, and I’d wish very much for you to trust him as well. His name is Michael.”
Then He was gone, and Kala woke with a start. The room was dark as the night, and she felt suddenly terrified at what might be in the room with her. The dream was fading, but she knew that a man was coming to talk to her. How she knew, she had no idea, but he was coming. Getting up, she pulled on her robe to go into the living room. He was standing there with a box in one hand and a large folder in the other.
“ You must be Michael.” He nodded and smiled. “Do you have wings as well?”
And when they seemed to sprout behind him , she grabbed the back of the couch. “I’m not in Kansas anymore, am I?”
His laughter was not reassuring.
Chapter 7
Dan moved through the room slowly. He had a feeling that someone was watching him, but couldn’t find anyone other than the man he’d tied to the chair. Dan was pissed off, and things never looked right when he was this mad. And he wanted to find his Kala and have her help him through this. Whenever she was around him, he felt calmer and his head didn’t pound so hard. Everything just seemed better when she was around.
They ’d taken her from him. The police had come to their home and had taken her away for some reason. And now he couldn’t find her. He looked over at the man he thought was responsible and laughed when he cringed. Maybe he’d make him tell him what was going on with her.
“ You should never have fired us. I tried to tell you when you was coming out of your office, but you wouldn’t listen. I really needed you to listen to me.” Randy Shields moaned when Dan popped him in the head again using his fist. Randy had been the one who had signed his and Kala’s emails. It was all his fault that Dan was now running around trying to find his one true love.
The gag in Randy ’s mouth prevented Dan from understanding him, but Dan got it. He was begging again. Dan hated when people begged. His mother begged him all the time. Take out the trash, answer the phone…stuff that she should have been doing for him. Not the other way around. He’d been the one working, while she sat around in her wheelchair ordering him around like he wasn’t anybody important.
