“Hunter, whatever it is that Benjamin wants, must be something to do with Carolyn. I think he basically kept me from sleeping so that I would need those sleeping pills… knowing that I would no longer be able to help Carolyn.”
Hunter just looked puzzled, as if he was considering all possibilities, but he seemed as if he was in his own little world. He didn’t even say anything on the way back in.
By the time dinner was over, Kelly and Andrew were nothing less than impressed with Hunter, which rarely happened with any of my guy friends.
Hunter was actually a few months older than me, he was already 17 and from what Kelly had told me as I helped her put the food away, he seemed more mature than all of my other friends combined.
“He is so much nicer than Justin, Kayla.”
I rolled my eyes. “Uh-huh… We are not dating if that is what you are implying.”
Andrew walked into the kitchen. “About time you got a nice friend, Kayla.”
I rolled my eyes at him too. “Gotta go finish the school project…”
I got out of the kitchen as fast as I could.
We setup a couple of papers and books in the living room to make it look like we were getting stuff done.
Luckily, Kelly and Andrew decided to go out shopping so we didn’t have to worry about making sure they didn’t hear what we were talking about.
I was playing around with the pencil… “So, you said you think you know what he wants… I don’t think I’m wrong about Carolyn, but one of the times that he showed up, he said something-- I think it has something to do with my biological dad. Before, he kept mentioning how alike we were and a couple of other things, like he knows him.”
“Oh,” Hunter said, looking uncomfortable. “Do you know anything about your…umm… biological father?”
“Nope.”
“We have to either find out what he really wants or get rid of him before that baby comes along.”
“Huh?” I asked him puzzled.
He sighed. “I don’t want to scare you, but those trapped souls, regardless of what they are, ghosts, or… other things… they can use new life in order to be released from what and where they are… Others, like Benjamin, can use the energy from that new life to become more powerful.”
“You mean like reincarnation?” I asked, terrified.
“Sort of…. on the first scenario anyway. I’m afraid things may be quite different with Benjamin involved.”
“How do you know so much?”
He sighed. “You know how I told you that in the beginning I really didn’t have anyone to help me, like I’m helping you?”
I nodded.
“Much like you, it was because I didn’t let anyone help me. After a while I started trusting someone. He was kinda like a mentor.”
“Was?”
“Yes. There is this place… well, a place where we learn about those things. That is where I was when I was gone. My mentor was the one who allowed me to leave and come back.”
“Oh.”
Hunter looked almost as if he regretted telling me so much. “So, anyway, I have to get going.”
I was really afraid then. I didn’t know whether the meds were still in my system and if they were, I might not be able to see Benjamin. I couldn’t exactly ask Hunter to stay…
“What if he comes back?” I asked Hunter.
“He won’t. Not tonight.”
“How do you know?”
“Trust me. He won’t bother you tonight.”
FOURTEEN
As much as I wished I could trust Hunter, I just had a horrible feeling that Benjamin would still be around.
I didn’t sleep again.
I got away with not taking my meds and being that Hunter left before Kelly and Andrew got back, I went to the store and got a couple cans of Red Bull.
I hoped that just because I couldn’t see Benjamin didn’t mean that I couldn’t feel him.
I was
