Chapter 14
It was Sunday morning and the girls were moving into their flat, trying to get settled. Classes would start the next day.
“Arielle, can we talk?” Eva said. She could see something in Arielle’s eyes that frightened her, and she was pressing her lips together in the way she did when she was nervous.
“Well? What is it?” Arielle asked again, impatiently.
Eva exhaled a couple of times and then gave Arielle such a piercing look that her heart beat ten times faster.
“Arielle, I don’t want to frighten you, but I’ve been seeing something quite unpleasant coming your way in the near future,” Eva said. “I can’t clearly project who this person is, but I see you, and your eyes are horrified at the sight. Please be careful.”
She flinched a bit as silence fell between them.
“What do you mean, Eva? You’re scaring me,” Arielle said.
“I see danger coming your way,” Eva repeated quietly.
Arielle’s body went numb and she felt a cold chill down her spine.
Now a stony silence fell in the room and they were both startled by Gabrielle’s cheerful voice asking for help. She looked at Eva with bewilderment and then shook her head, pretty upset.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have brought this up right now,” Eva murmured, looking first at Arielle, then at Gabby.
“No, I’m glad you did,” Arielle said. “Can you tell if it’s a man or a woman?”
“I have had the vision several times, and it’s a woman, but she has no face. It’s just a shadow.”
“Well at least I know what to look for,” Arielle said with a rueful laugh. “A shadowy woman…”
They both moved to help Gabrielle carry the telly into the flat. Arielle’s mind was unwilling to accept Eva’s dire prediction, but in her heart she felt pretty gloomy. What was Eva seeing? She was kind of scared, but how could she do anything about such a vague premonition?
She went to her room and started to put her clothes away. Eva walked into the room behind her and put her arms around her.
“Don’t worry, Arielle, I will be watching out for you. I have the power to do that. I know it sounds crazy, but please trust me.”
“I do trust you, Eva, but I don’t mind telling you that I’m scared to death.”
“Well, it’s just a vision. But I want to make sure that you guard yourself against any unexpected circumstances.”
“Thanks, and don’t worry, Eva, I’ll do that.”
As for Eva, her premonition was embedded in her head, but she had to let go of it in order to function in a normal way.
The week moved sluggishly along and everything seemed to be the same old thing. Nothing had changed except for Arielle. She felt like she wasn’t interested in anyone or anything, and she was slipping into deeper and deeper misery as the days went by.
On Friday morning Gabrielle asked her to ride with her to class. Arielle declined, knowing that she needed to take her own car. She had to run a few errands after class, and she had also promised her parents that she would have dinner with them that evening.
