Chapter 40

I sat for an hour more and then I saw it. It moved so fast, I almost didn’t catch it. It looked like a flash of light.

“There!” I screamed, looking at it.

“Don’t let it out of your sight” she said sternly. “How do I even do that? It’s barely impossible to keep track of where it is!” I said in full panic. “The more you focus your eyes on her, the more she becomes visible to your human eyes.”

I nodded.

It was true. The more I looked at it, the brighter the light became..

“I see it. It’s bright. It’s so fast! It’s… it’s coming near me.!” I said trying to dodge out of the way

“Do not move she is harmless!” but I wasn’t listening. She was moving faster than the speed of light and I would be damned if that thing hit me. Even though it looked harmless.

So I dived out of the way, hitting my head, headfirst into the wooden part of the bed.

“What was that!” she gasped, looking at me with horror.

‘,you and me both' I thought In my head.

“she was coming at me. It was either be hit it or hit her.” I defended. Even that sounded stupid as I listened to myself say it.

“She can’t hurt you. She was just doing her job. She literally doesn’t exist in your world, so there was nothing to be panicked about” she looked kind of frustrated.

“Do you know how hard it was to get that one? Now that you have scared her away, to get another would be as hard as catching the moon in a thunderstorm.” She was utterly and royally pissed. But I still didn’t understand.

“What’s so important about it? Why do we need to catch it?” she gave a big exhale. “They are called … honestly, I don’t know and I don’t care to know. All I do know though is that that could have been your one way ticket to get your vision under control. They have toxins” I drew back looking at her like she had committed murder of some sort.

Not the bad ones obviously” she rolled her eyes as she looked at me and said it. “They would help to control the visions for now. I have noticed they are kind of getting in the way.” I looked at her.

'what did she mean getting in the way?’ I kept shut, not wanting to say anything. She looked kind of extra cranky and I was not ready to add to that, or be at the receiving end of it.

“We would start again, and you better not even dare to flinch if she comes near you this time.” She said, Hissing in the process.

I nodded, going back to the stuff posture I had come to accept. It was a bit easier this time, since I knew the level of concentration I knew to apply.

It took me roughly an hour and then I saw her again. This time, the light was a different color

“She’s red this time!” I said a little more fascinated.

“Do not, for any reason let her out of your sight. This one is a big more different.” I didn’t have the time to ask what she actually meant because this one stopped for a moment and looked at me. She actually looked at me and then came at me.

“What do I do if they lock eyes with me?” I asked in a bit of a panic that I had done something wrong.

“You look at her back. Do not! Let her out of your sight.” I nodded.

“Seer” she greeted with a dark voice. “Melissa” I blinked at Melissa. “She knows you?” I should not have been surprised though. She said she hand lived for three hundred and sixty years. If that was true, then It would not make sense if she didn’t know the whole world by now.

“to what do I owe your summon?” she looked at me, dead In the eyes. She looked terrifying to say the least.

She had the “don’t play with me or I will break you aura”

“Me? Summons? I didn’t do that” I said looking at Melissa for help to back me up.

*She did. We need your help” I looked at her with the ' when did I summon her' look, but she wasn’t even paying attention to me.

“What would that be?” I kind of zoned out as they were talking for a bit, as my mind was fixed on Eric for a bit. I snapped myself out of the thought and tried to join in the conversation, but it seemed impossible. For one, I saw both their mouths moving like they were saying something, but it was like my ears were mute.

I tried to figure out what they were saying, but then the words were sounding all jumbled up and I couldn’t understand a single Word that was being said.

Later on, the thing nodded at me as if to greet me good bye and then left, leaving no trace of their existence behind.

“Why did you pull me out of the conversation?” I asked, curious to know why.

“You did that your self. When moving from one parallel world to another, absolute concentration is needed” she said.

“What?” I looked at her in shock. “what do you mean parallel universe?” she didn’t say anything, instead she say down and made herself comfortable in the chair mean r the vanity drawer.

“Melissa!” I said looking at her like she had grown a second head. You could not spit out things like this and expect me to be silent on the matter.

“Would you stop screaming? You might as well wake the whole palace up at this rate” she said, hushing me.

I nodded my head. “what did you mean?” I whispered.

“Are you that slow? It’s simple. I made you try the process of lifting. I was starting to think that you didn’t have it.

“Why didn’t you just tell me?” I said in a tired voice. It would have saved me the trouble of thinking about what she was doing or where she was taking us to.

“Because…” she said laying her back comfortably in the chair. “I am the teacher and you are the student” she said with a sly smirk. “I get to do whatever the fuck I want.

*Knock knock knock”

The bang on the door stopped me from cursing her out. Which in all honesty, saved me a while lot of trouble.

*Knock knock knock”*

“The alpha wished to speak with you” I did not miss the way she rolled her eyes

“Wolves” she said in a dramatic voice.

“its urgent” I was immediately thrown off the bed and at the door in an instant.

“If you were to put half the energy you used to stand up to look for those creatures earlier, then maybe we would have not taken that much time” I ignored her and walked to the door swinging it open and walking out of the door to meet Eric.

As I walked, I tried as much as possible to not show the skips in my steps…
