Scene #95
Each day he drove himself to exhaustion hoping that once he
closed his eyes he prayed that the dreams would not come but to no
avail. But once again he awoke from the dream that haunted his
nights. The dream never changed he was waking through the forest
and there in the last rays of the day she stood looking to wards
the sky as if she was expecting something or someone. And as if she
knew he was there she turned and saw him she ran into his arms and
held on to him as she was her salivation. Wrapping his arms around
her he whispered her and it was at this point that he always awoke
grasping for that name always just out of reach. For now he
would keeping going in the hopes that in the not distance future he
would meet this mystery women. For now he crouched in the
darkness of the jungle low and listened to the night sounds
surrounding him. He could not remember a time when he had not found
the sounds comforting but that was not to be so this night. He
could feel her out there in the shadows. He could sense her in the
distance as if she was calling to him from a great distance. And so
he waited and moved towards his prey hoping that in time there
paths would cross. Miles away in a small town in North Dakota
Maryann listen once again to her father and mother arguing, she
knew that it was only a matter of time before the fighting started.
Lately it had gotten worst with her father losing his job. He was
drinking more these day and had struck her mother just yesterday.
She knew that it was only a matter of time before he would also
start on her and for that reason she knew she had to leave soon. It
would be her only way out with her life. Another scream
brought her from her thoughts and this time a slap could be heard
she could hear her mother weeping and knew she could not sit by and
let him get a way with this again. Gathering her courage around
like a mantle she opens the door and stood in the entrance to the
living room. As her father lifted his hand once again to bring it
down towards her mother she lunged forward but as she made contact
with his arm she felt a bolt of energy run from her arm t his and
she dropped her arm instantly and looked at her father. Her father
backed away as if he didn't know her. Her father took one look at
her and said two words “get out” Turning around he left the
room. She was not sure what had just happen but her concerns were
for her mother she knelt on floor beside her and gathered her in
her arms. Mother what is wrong, why is he so angry? I know that he
is upset about his job but there is more jobs out there. He mother
reach up and cupped her face, no child your father is not upset
about that it is something else. They both got up and made their
way to the sofa. Taking her hands in hers her mother looked at her
daughter and knew that what she was about to tell her daughter
would change her life. I was only 17 years old her mother
started I thought I knew the world. A friend I grew had move to
South America and had asked me to come and stay with her for the
summer break. My parents had some reservations but they knew her
parents and felt I would be safe; I loved the place the rain forest
the people. One day we had decided to go further inland it started
to rain as if her mother was reliving the experience she got a far
way look on her face. Maryann just stared at her wondering what she
about to say, Mother she said what is it her mother looked back I
am sorry I was lost in the past as I was saying it was raining and
someone we got separated. I was not scared I knew that once she
realized she would back track and find me. But as I got comfortable
a man loomed over me. He looked like a god his legs were like tree
trunks all muscle, and his skin was bronzed like copper. But I
remember his eyes the most they were the deepest grey with a hint
of yellow in them, nothing like I have ever seen before and then
him reach down and took my hand and lifted me into his arms.
Smiling at me he said in a low voice welcome “mi corazon” my
heart”. I think it was just like that I fell in love with him. For
the reminder of the summer I meet with him ever chance I had, we
became lovers by the end of the summer I was pretty sure I was with
child when I told him he was jubilant about becoming a father. He
pleaded with to stay but I told him I had to at least let my
parents know I was ok and what I planned to do, which was to move
to South American. Three days before I was scheduled to leave we
were wrapped in each other arms and he told me he was not what he
appear to be that If I was seriously thinking of staying with him
he need to be honest with me. His people were know as the Shadow
Walkers they have walk the earth for hundreds of years they are
also able to shift to any beats that forms the earth. After I heard
that I was afraid for myself and my unborn child. He went on to say
that a child born of such a union may show signs that they are one
by emitting small changes in the electrical currents around them.
Maryann looked at her mother and she knew without her telling her
that she was one of them that her life was changing and possible
not for the better. Your father is still out there in the jungle
waiting for me to come back, but I can't live like that. You must
go and find him learn who and what you are.
