TWO WORLDS

CHAPTER EIGHT

MASON

     Seeing how she was already sweating and still trying to put up that Stony expression was kinda cute. Trying hard to keep the smile from my face I gave the instruction to Finn who in turn instructed another guard to get water and ice tea for Amy.

Coming to India was for a purpose and not a vacation as I made her to believe at first. A month ago I got a call from one of my contacts  telling me about an Indian pandit who was known for having knowledge about all things supernatural. This trip was actually met for the Amy especially but with her mood lately I could only bait her into coming to Varanasi with me.

"We should go lodge before it gets dark, Finn?"

"Yes your highness, the car is this way"

Finn hurriedly led the way towards the waiting car, turning around I catch a glimpse of Amy giving Finn a dirty look, this wasn't the first I had seen such a scene, at first I chucked it to her irritation towards me, but now am certain she has an immense negative feeling towards Finn himself.

"Amelia?"

".........."

"Amy would you like to stop to grab something before we get to the hotel?"

As if shocked out of her own thoughts she shrugged and rubbed her arms as if cold. What is actually going on with her, this personality changes and mood swings was actually making me gradually go insane.

Ping! Checking my phone I saw a message from Amelia, glancing at her I see she was buckling down her seat belt with a straight face, strange!.

"would whoever we are going to see be able to help us?"

Okay this sounded like the old Amy the one whom three months ago could barely speak, as I opened my mouth to respond she shook her head slightly and glanced at my phone, indicating that I respond using the message app too. Typing I sent her a response.

"I hope so".
"Are you back Amy?"
"What's going on?"

Waiting for her to type down her response was the longest twenty seconds I  ever experience.

"I was never gone your highness, just trapped, I have been in and out ever since that night, I can't really fully explain it".
"But I can't say much, not like this though".
"Am sorry I hurt you with my actions, but it's not safe for you".

Why can't she explain openly it was just us the driver and Finn who was sitting at the front passenger seat engrossed with his iPad probably checking on our reservations, wait! Was this about Finn?.
Before I could type down my questions the car came to a halt as we arrived the hotel, looking at her Stony expression, I figured the opportunity was lost, sigh! A pity, it felt good chatting like this again. If this was Amy, who in the world's has he being living with these past months?!.

AMELIA

For the first time in two months I had clarity of mind maybe it has to do with being in  Varanasi. It felt good having your mind to yourself, no one peeking at everything you do or say. Sometimes it was Amanda at other times it was this strange dark nothing whispering, feeling my mind with dark thoughts threatening my life and that of Mason. Amanda I could handle but this shadow i couldn't for the life of me but since arriving I haven't felt their presence in my mind.

Looking at the surrounding, a little smile crept up my face at the luxury all around me.

"Your highness, Your key cards"

Finn! Like he was every where I look, looking at his face like carefully look there is always an ugly look beneath. Rubbing my arms as I felt the cold that I always feel whenever I see his face and remember that night.

"Thanks you can retire Finn, I need to make some arrangements with Amy, I will give you a call if I need your services"

Mason said as he collected both key cards and led me with one arm on my back to the room. Wait! Whose room? Why am I not resisting?

As we entered the room he shut the door and gave me a look that looks like, dont answer my questions you die.

"Now can we talk Amy?"

Seeing as he walked towards me, I side stepped further into the room and sat on one of the chairs available.

"What do you want to ask your highness?"

"Okay first of all you stopped calling me highness months ago, so you can go ahead to call me Mason, am pretty much used to it by now".

Seeing the little smile on his face, I unknowingly gave a little sigh as it was obvious he wasn't mad at me for my pass behavior.

"Okay your....Mason"

"Better, now can you tell me what the hell is going on with you and my assistant Finn?"

Talk about law of attraction think it and it manifests!

"N..Nothing,...."

"Amy? We are here for the soul shift problem you are having, even if you don't tell me, I know it hasn't been you in there, but what I don't get is why you don't seem comfortable whenever Finn  comes around."

Trying to fight off the tears that was already spilling I covered my face with both palms as I try to not remember.

"A.Amy? What's wrong? Am sorry, am not mad promise just want to know so I can help"

I swear I didn't want to cry, but as he gathered me into his arms embracing me, it was like a dam broke through.

"I...I slept with Finn!"
