Cyrosphere 2:: Lives Entangled (7 page)

Ginger gasps and says, “Wow, time sure does fly.”

Jurnee grins and replies, “You can say that again.”

Stacey asks, “What can you tell us about the vampire lord Daniel.”

Jurnee exhales loudly.

Penny asks, “Is it too painful.?”

Jurnee shakes her head and answers, “Just that few have been privileged to meet him. He is confined to a dimension here in the city. It is his own building, that is the size of a capital. It is always welcoming for my kind. Hybrid vampires or standard vampires that the movies portray that sleep during the day.”

Stacey asks, “Then why would he want to see us?”

Jurnee replies, “He asked to see you?”

Ginger responds, “Rolan said so, and if he says so. Then I imagine so.”

Jurnee nods.

Penny states, “This is exciting. I wanna meet this vampire lord.”

Three pair of eyes turn to Penny in shock.

Penny responds, “What? I do, unless he is dangerous.”

Stacey answers, “Good question. I have no idea.”

Jurnee looks perplex and replies, “No idea. Like I said few have met him, and I haven’t been privileged.”

Ginger nods and declares, “Well what can you tell us about him?”

Jurnee smiles and says, “I hear he is nice, caring and compassionate to his people. A true leader with a heart of gold.”

Ginger asks, “Did you know he wrote the prophecy?”

Jurnee asks, “Which one?”

Stacey responds. “The one concerning the indigo witch.”

Penny gasps and demands, “Is it about me?”

Jurnee replies, “We don’t know sweetie.”

Penny huffs and says, “Don’t sweetie me. I am not your girlfriend just because we’ve been bonding. I want m life back.”

Jurnee nods, gets up and leaves the room.

Stacey says, “You didn’t have to be so harsh.”

She leaves to talk to Jurnee, as Ginger forces a warm smile on her face.

             
                                        
 
Chapter 35:

After five minutes of awkward silence, Ginger decides it is time to talk.

Ginger says, “That woman loves you.”

Penny answers, “I know. I can tell my the way she looks at me with such fierce devotion and passion.”

Ginger responds, “You have no idea the pain one experiences from losing someone close to them.”

Penny takes a moment to consider this.

Ginger answers, “Let me show you.”

Jurnee angrily states, “Don’t you dare.”

They hadn’t heard Stacey or Jurnee come back to the patio area.

Penny asks, “Why not?”

Jurnee replies, “I want you to chose to love me, or don’t. Free will is something you have. I will always love you, but if you come back to me. I want it to be your choice, free from past influences. And I wanna be the one to share that moment of pure bliss when that happens.”

Penny is in tears from that declaration of love.

Stacey says, “Wow, Peter isn’t that deeply romantic. You make our love seem frivolous.”

Jurnee grins and responds, “Well I have lived longer, and am experienced with love in more depth.”

Ginger smiles and says, “Guess we’ll leave you two to talk in private.”

Penny responds, “You don’t have to run off because of me.”

Stacey answers, “We’re not. We have a lot to consider before we meet this vampire lord.”

Penny nods and states, “Okay. Well let me walk you out.”

Jurnee walks them to the door, and Ginger felt hope radiating off Jurnee.

Ginger knew it in her hear that love existed, and she’d experience it again.

             
                                        
 
Chapter 36:

Outside the mansion, Ginger stops in her tracks as Stacey turns around.

Stacey asks, “What? Forget something?”

Ginger smiles and says, “No, not that. Do you think they’ll make it?”

Stacey grins and replies, “Absolutely. We got a front row seat of true romance. It’s rare and beautiful. And more than that, powerful.”

Ginger nods and states, “No matter what we’ll always be friends.”

Stacey says, “Duh. Sisters actually no matter what you decide I want to meet the vampire lord.”

That comment stomped Ginger but a tiny part of her understood and rationalized with Stacey. They needed to find out who the prophecy was about, lots of lives depended on it.

Two minutes later, Stacey taught her the spell to open portals and they were back home. Using magic was fun and exciting.

Back in her room, Ginger sat and wrote everything down. Allowing her words to fill the pages, as the words flowed so easily and helped her analyzed all that had happened today.

Hell it was only two in the afternoon, and she had a very exciting day. Before she could contemplate meeting the vampire lord, Spider was in her bedroom. Ginger jumped up in alarm and shock.

Her heart was beating rapidly and she thought, “He nearly scared me into an early grave.”

Spider smiled and said, “Excuse the interruption and beg your pardon.”

Ginger demanded, ”What are you doing here?”

Spider answers, “About to begin your first lesson,”

Ginger says, ‘What?”

Spider responds, “You heard me. Children.”

He exhales and shakes his head, and Ginger can tell from his thoughts he thinks she lacks common sense.

Ginger states, “Hey,
 I do have common sense.”

Spider grins and replies, “Good. At least your telepathy is powerful if you’re able to read my
 ancient and powerful mind.”

Ginger smirks and responds, “No need to brag.”

Spider answers, “Not bragging if true. You ready?”

Ginger asks, “Really? Where we going?”

He grins and Ginger didn’t like the look of his mischievous eyes.

             
                                        
 
Chapter 37:

Ginger wondered if Stacey could sense his presence, because she most certainly wasn’t able to.

She asks, “Do you know the vampire lord?”

Spider laughs and says, “Quiet well. He is an old friend of mine.”

Ginger demands, “Is is safe to be around him? Stacey and I want to meet him, or at least considering.”

Spider laughs and responds, “Very much so. He is a delightful fellow.”

Ginger nods her head and declares, “What do you know about my blood and the demon that my parents tried to hide my witch heritage.”

Spider looked grim and replies, “Everything unfortunately, my dear.”

Ginger gets giddy and says, “Please, tell me.”

Spider says, “I thought we’d practice you time traveling abilities.”

Ginger huffs and asks, “How? I can’t control them.”

Spider shakes his head and says, “Nonsense. It’s easy.”

Ginger mumbles, Yes for you perhaps. “

Spider responds, “Yes, for me and you too with a little training and guidance.”

Ginger smiles and tries a different tactic, “When do we get started?”

Spider nods his head, before she could sense magic being built up. Bam, they were outside at some park in the middle of endless grass.

Ginger asks, “Where are we?”

Spider declares, “Isn’t it obvious? A park.”

Ginger huffs and says, “I can see that.”

Spider responds, “Then why’d you ask?”

She shakes her head, ignoring his jab at her.

Ginger states, “What do I do first?”

Spider replies, “Know what kind of time control you want to use. Stopping, reversing, or accelerating. I can do it all, including stepping into other universes in every time.”

Ginger asks, “Can I do that too?”

Spider grins and answers, “In time.”

Ginger smiles.

Spider says, “Use your mind to picture a object in your past.”

Ginger replies, “Done. My blue Walter.”

Spider states, “Now bring it to you!”

Ginger snaps her eyes closed and concentrates all her energy. When slowly the fabricate the reality seems to slow down. A blue toy cow names Walter is in her hands.

Ginger declares, “That was amazing.”

Spider grins and says, “Just like you, my dear.”

                                                                    
 
Chapter 38:

The next thirty minutes Ginger worked on dragging things through time ripples of her past. Spider told her on day she’d be able to travel back there. This thrilled her, in the hopes to see her parents again.

Standing back in her bedroom, Ginger didn’t realized how tired she was.

Spider said, “Rest. Using your unique ability drained you some.”

Ginger replies, “I’ll say.”

She laid down for a moment, she noticed that Spider was preparing to use magic to teleport away. She needed answers first.

Ginger asked, “What can you tell me about my blood donor?”

Spider sighs and responds, “His name is Jensen Sanders. He is from my past. Ask Hannah to help you locate him.”

She didn’t have a chance to thank him because Spider had vanished as suddenly as he appeared in her life. Ginger drifted off to sleep.

That night she dreamed of Hannah taking her to the man with all the answers.

When Ginger awoke, she’d call Hannah once she ate Sunday breakfast with the family. On her way down the stairs she smelted bacon sizzling and French toast.

Hannah was in her kitchen serving breakfast to her family.

Ginger wondered, “Am I dreaming?”

Hannah says, “Morning sleepy head. Aaron and Stacey are leaving in twenty for church. You joining them?”

Stacey grinned as he ate her French toast, then asked, “So, you coming?”

Ginger replies, “Maybe another time.”

Aaron answers, “No worries, there is next week.”

Yvette chimes in, “I would invite you to a movie or something, but I kinda have a date.”

Aaron says, “Wait a go kiddo.”

Yvette rolls her eyes and declares, “Stop it dad. It is just one blind date.”

Aaron responds, “Doesn’t matter. You’re open to trying to find someone. I found your mother from one date.”

He grins as he places his dishes in the sink.

Stacey says, “See you girls later.”

Yvette nods and answers, “Tonight.”

Ginger turns to a empty kitchen and looks to Hannah before stating, “We need to talk.”

Hannah nods and responds, “You did summon me here.”

             
                          
 
Chapter 39:

Ginger stood up gasping to her childhood friend, who happens to be an angel.

Hannah says, “You summoned me through your dreams.”

Ginger answers, “No, I didn’t.’

Hannah declares, “True, not your power. Just my bond with you kicked in and I entered your dreams and knew you wanted to talk.”
