Dance of Love

Chapter 7

Lilians POV:

Almost

I was so engrossed in you

Thought I could hold on to you

But, fate has decided to lead you away

Only leaving me with a reminiscence of

A love that could have been

Yesterday, I was gushing a pink warmth

Today, I'm floating in a grey world

I let the water spills over my body, the shower is hot. It makes my pale skin turn a slight pink. I turn and lift my hair so that the water can go down my back.

It's been about a week since he's been gone. The first couple days I would wake up crying. And, sometimes when I think about him, and our experience together I'll begin to breakdown.

We received his body from Dalia and then went to the Three Trees of Life. It's in the sky, in a beautiful garden with almost every kind of flower. It appeared to us because the council gave us entry to rest Ethans body under Aglaias tree.

We set him down next to the tree and its roots reached over his body and daisys began appearing over his body until they covered him. There was a soft hum as the tall tree illuminated and then from behind a woman appeared, she was tall and only had a thin white cloth that covered her body. Her auburn hair reached past thighs. She walked with such a gentle step over where Ethans body lay and then began singing, I didn't understand her but her voice was the most soothing vibration that I've ever heard. The leaves of the trees began to shake and then they dropped to the ground before transforming into butterflies right before hitting it. She then turned to us and in English said "I thank you for returning him to me." before turning into a smoke and fading into the air. I looked over at Daniel and a few tears rolled down his cheeks. He then went up to me and handed me a ring. He told me it would help me with my abilities. Then he left.

We haven't seen him since, we don't know where he's at. Janet tells me that he will come back, but when will that be? Ivy and Lorraine are out there and we heard that they've shut down the power of a city in Louisiana, for a whole 2 days. Everyone is in complete panic. The news is filled with conspiracies and they're already blaming opposing governments and say they plan to retaliate somehow.

If only my damn powers would come in but I feel nothing. I don't know what I have to do. The ring is nice and all but it hasn't done anything for me.

I hear a knock on the door. I shut the shower off and wrap my towel around my body before coming out.

Its Janet, she has her phone in her hands "Hey Sweetie, I just got off the phone with my momz. She invited us over for 4th of July tonight. Would you like to go?"
It's the Fourth of July? Damn I haven't even been keeping track of time.

"Yeah, I would love to." I look towards my feet then up at her. "Anything from Daniel yet?"

She shakes her head. "No" she puts a hand on her hip "When I see him, I'm going to drop kick his ass for doing this. We need him now more than ever."

Later on that night, she comes into my room. She wears a white crop top, soft pink tights and a patterned jacket. On her lips she has a blushing pink color, and she did a smoky eye look on her eyes. She looks amazing, I'm quite the opposite right now. I push the sheets away from my bed and put my wrangled hair to one side.
"You were sleeping?" She asks tilting her head to the side
"Ah yeah, I was just taking a nap"
"Oh alright." She then lifts up a casual black dress and a pair of flats. "Look, I bought you an outfit." She puts it down on my bed and then heads out, coming back seconds later with a thin golden choker. "This will look so good on you."
"Awe thank you so much, Janet"
"No problem" She says with a wink. Then she puts on some early R&B music on a radio in my room. She helps me put on some light makeup, and a red gloss. I look at myself in the full length mirror on tje back of the bathroom door. I turn here and there. I look pretty. I look at Janet.
"Girl, you should be a stylist."
"I would have become one but since I'm a seer..."
My mouth turn into an O. Then I ask her. "It's not easy for you is it?"
She sighs. "I just feel so much pressure sometimes, like I'm holding the world on my shoulders. But I love what I do. Just yesterday, I was passing a chapel while walking in the NY, and I saw a woman sleeping in the front steps at night. I went up to her, and didn't wake her. I just observed, and sensed that her leg was fractured. I healed her. The next morning, I watched from a corner, as she got up, getting her crutches ready... But, she realized her leg did not hurt her anymore. She began to cry tears of joy, and thank her creator. It made me so happy to see her so elated, even though that is a bit selfish of me."
