darted her eyes more than once on the downward spiral.
“Hold on,” I had an idea. A better idea. I grabbed a paper towel and leaned over sideways to the menu board Claire kept for me to jot down what items I needed for guests. (For which was rare.) Fast and furiously, I wrote every word down for her to hopefully see what I needed for her to know. Hope. That word played on my thoughts more than her name even. I hoped to change that. She watched every word as my nearly unreadable handwriting filled the thin make-do document.
Dear Son of Eos,
Son, I am only the pawn in this. Asked by Anat to comply with her orders, I give you my undying love and respect for what you must do in the following years. As goddess of the dawn, I foresee what actions you did and will take to have the human emotion love and to fulfill your destiny. Please use the powers you hold to complete these tasks. Don’t let her go alone. As the son of Ra, you are bound by all orders of our kind and hers. When choosing another form, take care that you are taught properly. The ring will return to you for the both of you. Take care.
With Love.
She reread it three times. “Where is the original?”
“My room. I didn’t want to leave you alone.”
Did she see it the same? Could she see she was meant for me? Would she let me?
Do I trust him? He had not hurt me yet . “Where do you fit in this?”
“What do you think?” She wanted the answers. I wanted her.
“I’m asking what you think,” her cat claws coming out.
“I have also increased my powers in the last twenty four hours. I am able to feel fear and anger as well as the joy and happiness as of yesterday. I can last twice as long in a fight than I could just yesterday.” You made me stronger. I wasn’t sure if she heard the last part.
Her confidence was growing as much as our powers by her next comment, “Like magnets that absorb. We catch it like a disease.”
I lifted my chest to match my push for the small light she left shining. “Not a bad thing. We increased, not decreased. I didn’t anticipate it, but recognized it immediately when we arrived back here, together last night. I felt your every fear and every time your heart speed up in a happier moment very vividly.” I was trying to let her know she felt something between us. It was instant attraction. “I knew something was up so I was prepared to show you the letter today. I didn’t want to scare you. Even had thoughts of how it might pan out. I believe that our “charms” have intermingled so to speak and although I think that has a double meaning, I also believe,” I swallowed and looked down away from her. When her lips parted a little I waited for her, but received nothing and went on.
“I believe that the last lines mean something about me. I reason that you feel deeply about the Hunter boy named Calum and know that he bares similarities to you in more than one way. I know that you share a birthday, commonalities in your name, and similar star marks. I know that he believes it too. But I have theory also. I bare a similar mark to you. I have the same abilities as you. I am…Valkyrie.”
She looked up at me with shock. “What?”
“I was born Valkyrie before being turned. And I would know my other theory to be correct now at matching your sun to mine.”
She licked her lips leaving me needing more than she could give at the time. Now or never.
Just when I was about to make my move, ask her to see it again, she crawled up onto the counter leaning upward and propped her legs under her. She smoothed out the front of her dress and started a roll with the bottom ruffle. Her thin black pants that resembled fancy long johns were rolling down slowly now.
She seemed to panic at my lack of reaction, but I held my breath just waiting. She
