EXCERPT 2
“So you’re
warning me away from you?” I was appalled. “Then why are you doing
this…guarding me at all? Why the torment? Why watch over me when you know
that…that we should be more?” I felt on the verge of tears, which amazed me.
How could pain be so sharp in the afterlife? “Answer me, Eran. Why?”
He sighed.
“Because it is my job.”
I gasped, more
offended than I’d ever been. “I’m a job to you?” I stared at him and waited for
his head to rise but he refused to look at me.
“Yes,” he said
weakly, defeated. His beautiful, rugged voice released as a whimper and the
pain inside me grew. “You are just a job.”
I didn’t think
it was possible but the emptiness I’d felt with Eran being gone those many
weeks held no comparison to the magnitude of what I was experiencing right now.
I felt as if I
had been gutted.
“No…” I shook my
head. “I don’t believe you because you see, Eran, I can feel your emotions run
through me. Whether you want to admit them or not, I know how you feel about me.”
Stunned, his
head jerked up, his brilliant blue-green eyes drilling into mine. “You feel me
too? How can that be?”
“I don’t know.
But I do know that I feel in you the same emotions I have.”
He groaned and
turned away. “That’s not possible…” he muttered, pausing. When he spoke again
his voice was strained, determined. I drew in a breath as the intensity of
these emotions ran through me. “It doesn’t matter. I won’t let this happen.
This will not happen…I will not let us be together.”
“Because you are
my guardian? Then let me make it easy on us…You’re fired.”
“It doesn’t work
that way, Magdalene,” he said, quieter but still resolute.
“I didn’t want
you to watch over me, Eran. I never asked for it.”
As if he’d
become an entirely new person, his reply was flat and detached. “You’re a
messenger. You require a guardian. It’s as simple as that.”
“Then we’ve just
solved the issue, didn’t we?” I said causing him to finally look up. “This will
be my last message. It’s from me to you…goodbye Eran.”
Turning swiftly,
I walked away just before the tears came.
