when you are sleeping, but even when you are awake your intuition is never really wrong.” “So? I have good intuition? What is so dangerous about that?” “Ambrosia, I don’t think you understand what this type of power could do on the human realm. You can go into any living persons dream at any time. You can make them see what you want them to see. You can know their biggest fears, their deepest regrets. Do you understand what kind of havoc you could wreck onto this world with knowledge like that? You can control presidents or kings. You can expose secrets and guilt’s. You are the single most dangerous person who had been alive in the history of mankind.” I swallowed. There was more he wasn’t telling me. I could feel it. “What about you?” He tilted his head, “Me?” “I know you are more powerful here than I am. I can feel it.” I raised my hand to his chest and noticed the warmth seeping through from under his soft cloak. I did not know if it were my hand that led it there or his, but he took full advantage and grasped my small fingers in his own. I notice he wore a ring on his left hand. A simple band made of soft white gold like my mothers had been. Mine did not travel with me into my dream world and I suddenly noticed its absence like a cold weight on my finger. He led me to a fallen tree where we both sat, knees and hand touching, but nothing else. I felt weak and unworthy of such a responsibility. I held his hands tight as the world danced around in my head and I became dizzy. He put his arm around my shoulder and hugged me tight against his soft robes. “You’re waking up. I will be here when you return.” I reached up and held his face in my hands, staring into his perfect opal round orbs and I suddenly pulled him towards me in a deep passionate kiss. I could feel his tongue move about my mouth as the world spun and I kissed him harder my nails pressing deeply into the sides of his face. I could feel his moan of need in my mouth and I awoke suddenly on my couch breathless, with a painful yearning in the pit of my being and even more questions.
Chapter 10 By the time I woke up it was already late afternoon. The sun really was about to set and the sunny day that was ready to burst before Violet drugged me had turned sour and rainy. It was dim and grey outside and the bitter part of me felt it appropriate that the rest of the world feel how I did right now. I woke up without any sense of grogginess and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep anytime soon. I didn’t want to sit around the apartment board and alone so I picked up the phone to call Kayla. I noticed then that the background screen on my phone had been changed to a picture of a single four-leaf clover and a note besides it ‘for luck!’ A forgiveness present left by Violet I presumed. My thoughts turned to Nathaniel’s remark about me tasting like clovers. It made me both blush and smile despite my anger as I thought also of Samandiriel and our kiss by the side of the road. I did not understand the two men that had suddenly taken over my life, but I had the distinct feeling that this was not a new occurrence. M heart had been torn asunder in the past and Violet had told me I must choose. There was no mistake of what she was speaking. I just did not understand yet the implications of each choice. I needed a short break from all of this madness. It turns out my highly caffeinated current BFF, Kayla had a small Wiccan welcome gathering planned at her house this evening. Resolving to drink my blues away with idle chatter about crystals and Gaia I got dressed in my finest simple jean skirt, boots and plain red T-shirt. Thanks to the rain, I knew my hair would be a frilly mess so I pulled it into a tight but dramatic bun on top of my head threw on some mascara and grabbed a light coat. Ready for a fun filled evening of red wine and the Mother Goddess, texted Kayla that I was on my way. An hour later I was chatting about
