See no evil - The awakening

Reset

Two weeks without answering my phone, checking my emails or checking in with anyone in my life is a long time. I spent most of the first day out of the room talking to my family and friends making up crazy stories about having gone to a writers retreat in LA and that they hadn't told me before that they would remove our phones. So I didn't have time to let them know. I blamed it all on these "gurus" who I said very convincingly that had promised to let my family know where I was and that I was safe.

It worked with everyone except with Luc, he didn't answer my calls or my texts. He was clearly angry and I would have to put some more effort into my story for him to forgive me.

I thought about letting him be angry, "come look for me". I thought I was strong enough now. But it was the adrenaline in my body talking from having spent two weeks having sex with my... Idris. I was too old to be thinking about definitions at that moment of my life, he was just my partner, forever, destined to be together till the end of our lives. It sounded casual enough, yep I was cool with that.

Going back to training was hard, we spent most of our time training but the rest, well, you know. We didn't hide each other's feelings in front of anyone. We did some double dating with Aaron and Sara and we actually had an amazing time.

When we were out drinking at Aaron's pub, Nora approached me.

—Have you thought about what you would do if you....

I looked at her confused and she continued.

—If you get pregnant. –She whispered.

The thought hadn't crossed my mind yet, everyone always spoke as if this mixed being pregnancies were like 1 in a thousand millions possibilities. —-I just don't think that will happen Nora, I was told I couldn't have kids.

This was true. I never wanted to have kids, but when I met Luc, he said that we should think about the future, and what if we wanted to have them at some point. So he found a fertility specialist for us to be able to freeze some embryos. Long story short, we tried for a while, we did everything we could, and they ended up telling me my eggs did not work. So yep, this being hunted problem started and finished with me for my blood line.

—I'm sorry. –Nora said.

—It's fine. Idris is more than enough for me. –I looked at him and smiled.

—You both look so in love.

—I guess we are. Love can come in the most unpredictable of situations.

We spent the night drinking and dancing and having an amazing time. They both had become my friends and part of our lives. I was happy to be there, I was so happy I didn't want to leave any time soon.

I had mastered my abilities to the point that I hadn't needed to erase their minds for a long time now. I had lost track of how long we'd been in Ireland but each time I tried to relax the thought of my family, the world of my parents came to mind. I was never going to feel at home if I knew they couldn't even know where I was. They couldn't even come visit.

I tried calling Luc every day and texting him constantly. But I never got an answer. —He knows. –Idris told me after I'd spent a month calling him.

He made me ditch my phone and get a new one. He was afraid he could track it, so he did the same thing with my laptop. I thought that if he could track it he would have already been there. But I wasn't gonna argue with Idris about that.
