Awakening Sheeple

~ Chapter 19~

The smooth road we have been traveling has come to an end. All hell was about to break loose to stop us but hell would have to get past our guardians. Our guides have already had to intervene a few times.

I noticed that I was feeling a little out of sorts for a few days. I wasn't sleeping well at all. People were quick tempered at the studios, things didn't feel quite right somehow. I realized that there was a full moon that night. There was a paramedic at the studio for a minor incident, we were talking about how strange people get on a full moon. The effects start a few days before the moon and goes on for a few days after. I had never really given it much thought, but the moon affects the tides and we are composed of mostly water so why wouldn't it affect people? She said some were more prone to behavior changes then others. This explained a lot of things over the next few days. I was meant to have this conversation so I would be aware...I wonder if she even knew she was being a messenger? A real live earth angel, it's funny how that works.

Before taping the show, one talk show host was telling us that her dogs were behaving strangely and keeping her up at night. They wanted to go out late at night for no apparent reason, they would follow her around the house like a shadow and would bark for no reason. Another technician heard her talking and said their dog was doing the same thing. It was like they were protecting us from something? They said how their imagination went into overdrive because werewolves come out on full moons and maybe the dogs were protecting their families from attacks, dogs could communicate after all. Then they all laughed at the nonsensical conversation. I just nodded and smiled because if I told them it was not that farfetched it would freak them out, they'd call me the crazy one.

We got up the next morning to go to another taping and the cab driver said it was strange that the traffic was so low. It was like everyone slept in or something, kind of a creepy feeling. He lives in the suburbs and said he woke in the night to use the bathroom. When he looked outside it was very light out and misty, the air was heavy and it was silent, dead silent. Like nothing he'd ever experienced before, very eerie. He said it kind of gave him the heebee-geebees. I felt like we were wearing a "tell me all your crazy shit" sign on our foreheads or something! It was weird but I knew we were supposed to hear it.

The general consensus where ever we went was that people felt sick, sleepy, moody and or just plain uncomfortable for no apparent reason. Animals were behaving oddly and the weather was very wonky, sunny one minute and thunder storms the next, heavy humid air and very cool at night. I woke the next morning about three days after the full moon and realized there had been a shift. Ever so slight, I am not sure whether it was good or bad, but the change had begun. Kaysen felt it too.

We managed to get through our entire schedule in the States. We opened several clubs for kids and groups for adults. The day came for us to depart for Australia finally. On the way to the airport our limo had a flat tire and we got stuck in a traffic jam. I wasn't sure we'd ever get to get off the ground! Someone didn't want us to continue our mission or get on the plane at least.

When we arrived at the airport, I waited for our luggage to be unloaded from the car while Kaysen went to the washroom. A guy ran past me, knocking me off balance and grabbed my purse! I screamed bloody murder and the security guards went after him. Kaysen came around the corner to see me in hysterics and rushed to my side, "what's going on?!"

"That jerk took my bag, our passports and tickets are in there!"

'It's no problem Love, if they catch him we'll go, if not we won't,' he smiled confidently and touched my face. "It's okay, just breathe," I could feel his calmness spread through me.

I supposed, 'we can always take another flight.' The police did come back with my bag eventually but not in time to take our original flight.

We decided to go via Fiji and spend a day or two there before going on to Australia. In the meantime the flight we were supposed to go on was about to begin its taxi down the runway, when a flight attendant found a bomb on the aircraft, it was set to explode on take-off. The flight was evacuated in the nick of time. "Holy crap we could have been blown up, and all those innocent people too!" I shuttered into Kaysens arms.
