In Reedshores, little things have her peace and one of them was having lunch break date with Jody who couldn't stop talking about the guy she met on Love date app. Emily couldn't help but chuckled, Jody was the type of girl that falls too hard and fall out in love so fast.
"I'm meeting him again tonight" She took out her phone and showed Emily a text message From the dude she literally flirting with.
"Gurl you didn't text him back to assure him you're going on a second date with him " Emily rolled her eyes.
"Will do that after an hour"
"An hour! Emily's voice rose to the peak, she looked around and notice people eyes were now on her.
"Pipe down girl. Low your voice" Jody pat Emily hands twice.
"Won't he think you're not interested? Emily asked in a really low tone.
"It's called playing hard to get "
" I don't quite get it " Emily's attention was on Jody like a student who was interested in sex education.
"Listen, don't text immediately so you don't come off as desperate. If he text you, wait for a few minutes or hours to reply so he would know you're not the type of girl to fall on his feet"
"Girl, you're the expert on this type of things. You should've been a love doctor or something" Emily Relax back to her chair and sipped her coffee.
"Maybe I should" they both chuckled.
Psalm flipped through the documents on his study room, tryna find out more about the curse and also the descendant of Ophis but the more deeper he goes, the more angry and anxious he gets. He wasn't afraid of dying but he was afraid that the curse would carry on to his little brother Dan. Dan was the sweetest and innocent person in his life and he didn't deserve any of this, same with him though but this fate found him and was willing to destroy him.if he didn't do anything about it.
He sighed out of fustration because he had nothing except from the information that The descendant of Ophis was here in Reedshores and that was all, and it was enough to make him take three months vacation leave from Santorini And Partners law firm. But what exactly was the plan? Was he willing to become a murderer just to be free of all this. He groaned with fustration, everything was getting choked up for him and he hated it, suddenly his phone rang.
"Yo, Psalm " The voice spoke with enthusiasm and Psalm couldn't help to smile.
"Nick, how you doing"
"Pretty good. How's Reedshores and everything?
"So far it's been good and people here are nice" his mind drifted back to when he opened the door only to see Emily with her amazing smile.
"Nice huh. Dan and I were talking, he said you got your eyes on someone" Psalm couldn't help but laughed. Of course it always like that between Nick and Dan gossiping with his name but this wasn't a gossip though, it was fact. He got his eyes on Emily.
"Nahhh " Psalm denyed. "Fine yesss" he admitted when he heard Nick sound of dissatisfaction and unbelieve.
"That's good Man, it's always nice to mingle but how's the case coming along"
"Right about that..."
The only person Psalm ever told his situation was Nick. Being supportive as a best friend, Nick had helped Psalm with his investigations after all he won't wanna lose his best friend and he was willing to go extra miles to help Psalm out.
The call last about an hour or more since both were sharing their latest Discovery regarding the curse case and with assurance from Nick to Psalm that everything was going to be okay.
Psalm sighed, not of relief or annoyance or anything but having nothing to do before remembering he had to give his neighbors some gift or welcome cookies as being an addition to their cycle which probably would help him get the information he ended.
Emily never believed in visions or prophesy. She was finally through for the moment and definitely tired when she decided to take a nap before her five 'O clock appointment would arrive. It started as a memory of her mother rocking her to sleep, cooing her and for some reason it felt real to her. Emily stood by the door way looking at the beautiful view.
"You were so happy then without any worries" Emily looked around trying to see who was talking but she didn't see anyhow. Somehow the dream took a change to when she had just came back from class to find the body of her mother lying lifeless on the floor, she watched her younger self run to her mother side, crying, screaming and shouting for help. It was definitely her most painful memory and seeing again, opened wounds that she thought had healed.
"You had everything you ever wanted but it was taken from you " The voice came again, this time with pity with every word that she heard.
"Who are you? Emily asked.
"Patient child for it will be of no fun that I reveal myself"
The dream took another turn, this time the Outfit Emily was wearing changed into a red dress that swept the floor, barefooted in a middle of nowhere but greens and flower. Was this heaven? The thought ran across her mind.
"Did I die from exhaustion? She asked herself. Chuckled came out of nowhere scaring her.
"Didn't mean to scare you and no you're very much alive just in a state of subconsciousness" the lady that appeared to her was so beautiful, her hair long enough to fall on the floor. Her body was breathtaking and her eyes were pitch black and it held stories behind them, hurtful stories.
"You look just like her "
"Like who? Emily asked. " What a minute who are you?
"A seeker, your curiosity is definitely your strong trait. Come sit my child and I will tell you everything you want and need to know "
