screen…Nocturnal Journal.
She took a deep breath and clicked her heart raced when she realized it was password protected. She typed in the only password she knew r3m3mb3r and held her breath. The file opened! Ian scooted closer putting his head so near the screen it blocked Esther’s view.
“Ian, do you mind?” She scooted over keeping the computer on her lap. There were many entries in the journal all of them on a separate doc.
Ian pointed to the screen. “Click on the last one….the one dated two days ago.”
Esther opened the document scanning the words and began to read.
“The night it comes and brings the source
The water it stirs and swirls
A cauldron brimming with the force
That draws in other worlds….
I was sound asleep, but in my dreams was wide awake.
Oh, listen! It's the sound of my lover calling!
My love has come for me, and I am his to take
And into the source I will be falling….
Raine came to me again tonight….. I told him I was pregnant. His smile was beautiful when he found out. The omen is true, and the people in the water wait their redemption. He will tell the people in the water their deliverer is on the way…..I must remember I must remember…. We celebrated in the same way we did when we conceived the child. It was bliss all over again. He wants to stay with me to protect us….the deceiver is close oh so close but how could I have known….. Raine said he had to leave but he would come soon and the next time he came we could be together forever….the guardian has come so the shadows have followed and are lurking beware of the shadows….remember….
Esther felt a cold chill sweep over her. She couldn’t believe what she was reading. Parts of the message were cryptic and frightening. This was nothing like Felicitas and suddenly she felt estranged from her best friend. She looked at Ian whose face spoke volumes. She couldn’t tell if he was angry or extremely hurt. She felt for him, it had to be humiliating to find out about his girlfriend this way, especially in front of her. He bit down hard on his jaw and pointed to the screen.
“Open this one.”
“Are you sure Ian?”
He nodded.
“Just open it damn it.”
Esther read aloud again.
“Raine and I were married tonight. It was the most beautiful event of my life. No ceremony no formal liturgies, just he and I under the moon and stars, with God as our only witness we gave ourselves to each other…I need to break up with Ian since I am married…..Raine insist and I will do it if only I can remember….but I can’t drink from the vial just yet.”
There was more but for Ian’s sake Esther stopped reading and closed the doc. She opened another and skimmed over the words.
“Raine says I should find my grandmother and talk to her about it, says she knows the story and can help me…he told me to not be afraid of her…..I must find her.”
Esther closed the file.
“Who the hell is Raine?”
Ian ran his hands through his long hair, his eyes wide with rage.
“I feel like I don’t even know her right now. She’s been seeing someone else and having sex! Now she’s pregnant with this mystery man. I’m sure she panicked and ran away to her grandmother’s house, the one place no one would
