picking about that damn prophecy. I am not going to have a moment’s peace until he finds a way to prove to himself that his useless piece of paper isn't about me. I don't want to spend my life as his breathing science project.”
I sat down beside Darien and let him take my hand. My nerves calmed instantly. I got a feeling like I was safe and home. I could get used to that feeling. As soon as I had that thought, I wished I hadn't. I truly believed that I wasn't supposed to be happy and whenever I think otherwise, my world turns upside down.
“Well Cat, you know that the only way to make him treat you normally again is to let him find out for himself that some guy hundreds of years ago, wasn't talking about you in that prophecy. Humor him for a little while and we can put this all behind us and you and I can try to have a life, that is, if you will have me.”
He seemed so timid asking. I had broken his heart to the point that he was scared of me and that in turn, made my heart shatter. I did what I knew he needed me to do and I reached up and nestled his hair and the back of his neck and pulled his lips to mine. I felt the cooling sensation that I had missed. I stopped thinking about everything but the man in front of me. I wanted him to know that right now, despite everything else that was going on, he was the center of my universe and the only thing that mattered to me. His hand moved to my face, he was gentle, the opposite of my demanding need. For once his way worked. His patience and tenderness filled my need to taste him, to drink him through his lips. I was breathless by the time he pulled away. The look of need in his eyes made me realize that he deserved someone so much better than me. I was going to give him the woman he deserved. I loved him and he loved me and he told me that through his touch.
“Of course I will have you Darien. I want you.” Wow, that had been easier to say than I thought. His shoulders suddenly released the tension that I hadn't realized they held.
“Thank you Cat, that is all I have ever wanted to hear your pretty little lips say.” I blushed at his words, and I have to admit it felt good. “You know we have to go and find Walker and demand that he lets us see that damn piece of paper that foretells the future.” He winked at me, his voice lilting with sarcasm at the last part of what he had said.
“I don't know if I want to see it. I don't know if I have the nerve Darien.” I hated admitting when I was scared, and no one else in my world was allowed to know when I was, except Darien.
“What are you afraid of Cat? I am sure after we read it will be easy to work together to debunk what he believes. I promise I will support you and be on your side no matter what.” His voice made me want to feel better. If anyone had the power to make me feel better it was him, but there was something more pressing that was weighing on my mind.
“I am not afraid of trying to convince him that it isn't me, I am afraid of realizing that it is me. I don't want to be the one that saves the human race Darien. What if I fail? I am nothing special. If I read that prophecy and he is right, then my world is going to become even more messed up than it already is. I am not strong enough to deal with that.” God, it felt so good to allow myself to admit that to someone.
“Cat, do you really believe that? Do you think that there is anything that you can't handle? You are the bravest strongest person that I’ve ever met. If you are the human in the prophecy, we will face it like we have faced everything so far, together and hell bent on having it our way. Here, I want you to have this and wear it for me OK? So no matter where we are, alone or together, you will have a little piece of me with you.”
Darien took off his survival bracelet and attached it to my wrist. “Darien, I can't take this. It belonged to your dad and you have never taken it off.” I couldn’t
