Mindless Souls

Chapter 3

Quinn

I woke up in my bed the three days later. My dad had left me a note telling me to say home from school he'd be back at 3 for lunch with me. I couldn't wrap my head around what happen to me but I felt different in so many ways. I could see everything and I could hear everything. It was really freaking me out. "Hey honey how you feeling." My dad asked me when he walked through the door. "Um fine I guess what...what happened the other night?" I asked dad. "I was hoping you could tell me." He said. "I don't remember anything really only one minute I'm with Christian and the next thing I know he's pushing me off the rail." I told him.

"Well honey maybe... and I can't believe I'm going to say this but maybe you should go talk with someone to help you remember." He told me. "You want me to go see a shrink?! Are you crazy dad? I can't go see a shrink people would really think that I've lost it." I told him. Well more liked yelled it at him. "Fine I'll go but I won't like it" I told him after seeing how hurt he looked after I yelled at him.

The next afternoon I went to my therapist which brings me back to the beginning of this tale.

"Well Quinn that seems like quite the ordeal. How does all of this that has happened, how does it make you feel." Suzann asked me. "I feel like every time I turn around something bad is going to happen to me, and there will be nothing I can do to stop it...like there's something big coming and I need to be ready for it." I told her.

It all happened so I fast I don't know if I'll be able to tell it right. Christian rushed into the room and grabbed my hand. "What the hell are you doing? Why are you here?" "There isn't much time to explain I need to get you out of here you're not safe." He said to me. "No. You tell me what the hell is going on right now." I stare into his eyes knowing that I should just follow him that I can trust him but truth is I want to know why I feel such a strong connection with him, this guy I barely even know anything about, this guy that tried to kill me. "Quinn we really don't have time for this please just trust me I need to get you out of here. Please come with me." Christian reaches out his hand in my direction I look at it for a moment and take it in my own. He pulls me along with ease we climb out the window he jumps down first dragging me along with him but ensuring that he catches me before we hit the ground. We get into a black Viper and drive away.

"You going to tell me what the hell is going on now or are you going to try and kill me again?" I ask him. "What the hell do you mean try to kill you; I never tried to kill you." "Yes you did when we went out on that date the other night you pushed me off the rail at the pier." "What date Quinn I never went on a date with you." "Yes you did. I know I'm not going crazy." "You sure because I'm sure your therapist would beg to differ, but Quinn I didn't take you on a date trust me I would remember something like that and besides our first date won't be at a pier."

I looked at him confused for a moment. "Then who the hell did I go out with?" "If what you're saying is true then it's already happening...damn it I thought I could get to you sooner but I guess I'm still too late." "Christian, what the hell are you talking about?" "I'm taking about the fact that my twin has yet again gotten to you before me so now this is going screw things up."

Was this guy for real? "I don't understand what you're saying Christian you have a twin and you didn't get to me first what am I some kind of prize?" "Only in the best way love, I'll explain when I know we're safe and not being followed. There's a lot you need to know about yourself and I'm not sure how much you remember after that fall. I thought you had jumped."

Christian

How the hell did he find her? I took precautions this time. I planned every last detail out and he still found her. I don't understand, he doesn't even love her, at least not like I do. Well the good thing here is that she could tell something was off this time, unlike all the other times......... I sat there deep in thought for a while remembering the very first time I met her back in 1820. She was beautiful even back then, and as I do know I loved her then.
