*****

Ripples of pleasure coursed through her body as Edwin kissed her. The silken touch of his fingers on her skin sent her nerve endings into a tailspin.

She became still in his embrace, confused as to where she was in the timeline. Danu must have sent me back to the moment before Andre invaded my mind.

Hannah’s heart raced with fear, and she thrust the prickles of pleasure away. She clutched Edwin’s face between her palms, forcing him to look into her eyes. “Please listen to me. I don’t have much time, but I’ll explain everything later. In about two minutes, my mind will be taken over by Andre, I don’t know how or why. If that happens, I’ll die, and unspeakable things will happen to you. You must help me.”

“Surely that cannot happen.” He attempted to kiss her, but she moved a hand to his lips.

She held his gaze. “Once he gets into my mind, I’ll have a stroke that will be fatal. I need a buffer to help me keep him out. There’s no time to explain how I know this will happen.” Tears slipped down her cheeks at her inability to make him understand the enormity of the problem. Already, the first tentative probes of her consciousness invaded. Only seconds now. “Edwin, please.”

His sense of valor and dedication apparently kicked in. “Quickly, strengthen your guards and concentrate only on my voice.”

She did as he asked, tried to relax her body. Edwin gently pushed his way into her mind, past her mental shields. Deep into the hidden recesses of her thoughts, his warmth was comforting.

He is here, spatzi, I can sense him. He waits to see if you are strong enough to resist. I need you to concentrate fully on expelling him. Think of nothing else, do nothing else. You must be strong.

Hannah swallowed her fear. The edges of her mind sparkled. The dark unwanted presence, as irritating as lint in her eye pushed in. He’s too strong, I’m being repelled…

Do not give up! Push back. Empty your mind of everything but my voice.

Careful to think of nothing, she called up an image of the corridors of the Earth Mother’s residence, the long, unending halls of unrelieved white. The absence of color, devoid of life, devoid of death, just vacant stretches of empty hallways. Edwin moved about her mind and his gentle warmth comforted her. Vivid splashes of gold danced across her vision when he smiled.

It is working. He has encountered our resistance. Now he waits, hoping you will give up. I will stay with you as long as it takes.

Deep blackness welled into her mind to spread across her consciousness like spilled ink. It engulfed the golden splotches, encroached on the great white spaces she’d erected. Her body trembled with terror as she recognized Andre’s signature. Little trickles of pain leaked into her brain, spreading out, branching through her mind like spiny thickets until her head pounded. I can’t concentrate, Edwin, I can’t hold…

Do not give in to him! He looks for weakness.
