" Yeah, this is who I really am. The other form is just a facade."
" It's still beautiful. By the way what was that thing?" I thought that maybe it has a name. I shouldn't have called it Mr Veggie. It was a little rude of me.
That's Raphael. He's one of the guys that keep this place safe. He's a good guy. He just wanted to play with you."
" So he isn't dangerous?"
" Only to the enemies." I thought of asking Crusella about Emilia but I decided to trust Daniel. There he is. When I was calling for help he didn't show up now he's here. " I want to show you something Sama. Come with me. " I followed behind Daniel as we walked in the forest. We moved to place with rocks everywhere and I saw Daniel stop." Why did you stop?"
"This is what I want to show you. There is big white rock over there, let's get closer." There we go again. What else will I have to handle in this place?
He went to the rock and wiped the dust that was on it. He looked at it and it opened up. That wasn't expected. He looked at me and me to come closer. " What's inside?" I looked at the orange light coming from the rock. It started coming closer to the top until it was out. It was in the shape of a fist shining so bright. We covered out eyes.
"This is where the power of the king of the Kalis is stored. We had to take it when we were in wat with them and make them weak. Without this, they're powerless." Wow.
" Who are the Kalis?"
"They're very old magicians. They're our rivals. We are young but stronger than the rest. Our enemies have always wanted to know the source of our power and take it just like we took the one for the Kalis. They've never found but are still looking. They won't give up. If they get all the sources of power from all supernatural, they will rule over this place. They will come to your world and cause chaos. We should never let them get our source of power because it is the key to destruction."
"Are there some of you in our world?"
"Some of the Kalis escaped to your world after the war. They look like normal human beings with casual jobs but are waiting for the one opportunity to strike."
This information was quite entertaining. I hope I didn't ever meet a Kali else they would think I am Emilia.
"Don't you ever want to come to our world?" I asked.
"The Kalis would know and chase after me until they killed all the people around me." The therapist told me to tell him everything but I don't think I can give him this information. I can't trust him either. Daniel touched the rock and the orange fist descended into the rock and disappeared. It was now a normal rock.
Daniel held my hand and took me back to the library. He sat me on a table and whispered in my ear.
"We have unfinished business here. We can't always stop in the middle."
I wanted to resist and pull away but his scent was so intoxicating that it held me in one spot. He brought his face closer and closer. I closed my eyes and waited. I woke up." Damn it." I cursed hitting the bed. " Seems like we wasted time in the forest." It's already morning.
" How did I get here? I was on the couch, right?" I looked around my room for anything that's not in place but there wasn't . ' So I'm safe.' I sighed. I should go back to the therapist and tell him what I found out. Apart from ofcourse the Kalis and the me being Emilia part.
I dressed up and went downstairs to meet Jenny and dad but no one was in the house so I just had light breakfast and went straight to the therapist's.
"Welcome back Samantha, have a seat please." The same woman like yesterday opened the door. 'She must be the therapist's wife.' I thought.
Mr Henry was already seated waiting for me with a cup of tea. He didn't say a word
"Where'd we stop? Oh yes! did you ask about why you keep going back?" His gaze was more fierce than yesterday. " Yeah well, he told that it's their leader's instruction to have me there." He looked at me seriously and looked like he had just confirmed something.
"If I may ask, what's their leader's name?" There was anger in his eyes.
When I saw the burning rage I got so scared. I started fiddling with the hem of my skirt sweating. He seemed to realise it and softened his gaze. I started feeling suspicious of him when he asked me about the name. It felt like he knew the answer to what he was asking.
I panicked and got up. "I really need to go right now. I forgot something very important. I'll take my leave now Mr Henry." I walked hurriedly out of the house and ran to my car. 'What if he's one of the Kalis?' a lot of thoughts were on my mind.
I drove to the park and sat on the same swing as yesterday. I remembered Sam. 'Let me send him a message. I probably should."
'Hey Sam. Mind if we get coffee? I know a restaurant nearby.'
He sent a reply almost immediately. ' I'm coming.'
"How does he always know where I am? I never tell him but he always finds me." I smiled. In two minutes he was right next to me. "How do you do that?" he chuckled. "Do what?" he asked but he knew exactly what I was asking. " Find me."
"Let's just say that's a little personal." so he won't tell me. I won't give up that easily. " I'm starving. Let's go already." he pleaded and put his elbow for me to put my arm around his.
We went and gave our orders. There was a little silence for a while. He broke the silence. " How are you doing?" The question surprised me because I thought I asked him but I didn't. How stupid! I forgot my manners.
"I'm doing great. Just a little confusion but it's no big deal."
He looked at me and held my hand. He looked straight in my eyes. " You know you can always count on me. Any time for anything, anywhere. You can always ask for anything. I will always be ready to help." I smiled and retracted my hand.
He was drawing me closer. I wasn't liking what I was feeling. "Let's eat."
"What have you been up to lately?" Sam asked me as we walked back to the park. I enjoy his company a lot. He makes me feel at peace. I feel like I have no worries. He gives a comfortable aura. In addition to all that, he smells nice. Not any perfume but just nice. He smells nature like trees in a forest or a river flowing. Aren't I thinking too much about him.
"Well, I started seeing a therapist. Just to solve a small problem. I know I'll get over it."
" According to me, that's kinda scary. Why a therapist, mind telling me the issue? I can help." I sighed and looked up at him. I realised I trusted the man beside me. I decided to tell him about my problem. I started from the very first time how I slept and slipped to another world and all about Daniel. Every time I would talk about Daniel I could see the discomfort he felt. I trusted him so much that I told him how it always stopped in the middle.
By then it was already 7 pm. It's funny how I always lose track of time whenever I'm with Sam. There was silence after the story for a short while.
"Do you trust Daniel?" he asked at last. " I think I like him." He didn't seem to be okay when I said that. He looked at his wristwatch and said he had to leave and I let him go. I drove back home.
Sam's POV
Wow Sam, well done. She likes somebody else not you. I had started to feel that maybe she loves me too but no. I have to go home now. "Gordon find out everything about her therapist. I don't feel good about him."
