SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 69

CHAPTER 69

For couple of weeks, I wondered around aimlessly I spent a few days in China before blinking myself to the U.K from there I went from country to country before finally blinking myself to Egypt being there made me somehow feel closer to Dominick. I guess because of how the huts had been decorated in an Egyptian motif. I remembered the time we spent lying on the huge red and gold cushion. Dominick’s arms around me the one kiss we shared before he stopped us saying we couldn’t do this to Case. The same night he had told me he had petitioned the Angel’s council the last time with the help of Summer, so he and I could be together.

I stayed in Egypt longer than I stayed in any place. Feeling sorry for myself and thinking about what may have been. Deciding I would never go back to the keepers' world for what Harris and Summer had done and for what I had done to Case. I was through fighting demons and keeping the world safe. I knew the Angel Michael had told me there was a war coming, and I was needed. I was supposed to lead or something like that. However, they will have to find somebody else because I am done.

 I will find someplace to live and keep my mind blocked from the keepers and try to start my life over again for the second time in a year. It crosses my mind to move to Florida to be close to my human family I had been raised with. Maybe even make friends with them, but I let that thought die a fast death. I know the Angel’s and keepers will be keeping their eyes out there.

Deciding I will go someplace no one would ever consider. I ended up in a small town in South Carolina, which work perfect for me. Blinking, myself to the beach I manifested myself a house identical to the one Lisa had made for us to stay in on the Cape. I had loved that house so much it seemed only fitting to make one for myself that looks just like it. I used an incantation on all the people living close by so they will think the beach house has been here for for years.

The first two weeks in the house I never left. I would go outside and sit on the beach, but that was it. I manifested my food or anything else I needed so I wouldn’t have to have contact with people. At night, I would think about Dominick and how I had watched him die and done nothing to save him. I would think about how I had hurt Case and wonder if he hated me as much as I thought he did. It has been a couple of months now since I’ve been gone from the keepers’ world and home sickness has set in.

 I thought about Summer and Harris and how they had betrayed me yet I missed them just the same. I missed everybody. I never even said good-bye to Lisa or Cain. I fall asleep every night missing my family.

One day I decided it was time for me to leave the house. It has been so long since I have spoken to a person, I wasn’t sure if I would remember how. After showering and drying my hair, I decided to let the heavy mass hang down my back in its natural wild waves. Slipping on a pair of old jeans with holes in the knees and a long sleeved black shirt I put on my sinkers and grab up a jacket before heading out the door.

I walk around town for a few hours looking in a lot of the antique shops without buying anything. I spoke to a few nice people along the way but had no real conversation with any of them. Seeing a riverboat restaurant I decided to go in and see how the food was.

Walking in I read the sign saying, “seat yourself” I found a booth in the back as far away from other people as I could get. Picking up the menu that was already on the table I start reading what they had. The waitress comes up asking if I know what I wanted. Closing the menu, I order a cheese burger and fries with a cherry cola.

Watching the waitress leave I look around the riverboat restaurant. It is a nice place really. Everywhere, I regard there is fish mounted on the walls. Lighthouses everywhere and what I assumed were pictures of ships and people bringing in fresh seafood. Great, I’m in a place that specializes in seafood, and I order a cheese burger and fries. My burger is probably going to taste like shit. The fries should be alright, though I mean people eat fries with seafood all the time.
