Chapter Eleven

When I opened my eyes, I heard a huge clap of thunder and felt a rush of wind. Landen was at my side, and we were somewhere in Esterious. People were rushing around the streets, trying to work faster; each of them had an Aura of gray, which made them look dusty. The yellow Aura around me and Landen seemed to shine like sunlight in the dull streets.

“Well, looks like we picked a good time; this storm has them all on edge,” I thought. Landen smiled slightly; I knew he wasn’t happy about being here.

“Are we near Delen?” I asked.

“Not even close,” Landen thought, growing more uncomfortable.

I took his hand, and we passed down the street. When we allowed the people to walk through us, I smiled as I felt their rush of energy; they would hesitate in their steps, then look back. Landen watched them closely, afraid that they’d be seen by one of the priests. The wind picked up, then lightning flashed, followed by thunder.

Letting go of Landen’s hand, I started to focus on the ones who seemed to be the most solemn. As I passed through more people, I smiled as I felt their peace. I looked back to smile at Landen, but he wasn’t looking at me; he was watching the storm grow stronger. I knew he was going to ask me to wake soon, and I was determined to walk through as many people as I could before we left. As I turned onto another street, I froze; my image, the one we’d seen a few nights ago, the young frail girl was there. She was leaning against a store front, and her eyes were lost somewhere inside herself. I felt absolute grief and terror coming from her; it brought pain to my heart. I slowly stepped to her, determined to take all her pain away.

“Willow,” Landen thought as he reached for my shoulder to hold me back.

“Look, it’s her; we found her again.” My thoughts were just as excited as I was.

Landen’s jaw tightened. “This doesn’t feel right, Willow. I think you need to leave her alone,” he thought, looking at the young girl. I couldn’t believe the words he thought; she needed our help more than anyone else did. Walking away from Landen, I approached the girl, determined to help her. “Stop, Willow! We cannot help them all!” Landen thought as loud as he could.

The anger I felt for him was foreign, and I hesitated before slowly turning to see his piercing blue eyes staring at me through a flaming red glow.

“Who are you to choose who we help?” I said, defending myself. As my temper began to rise, my yellow Aura changed to match his red.

Landen sighed deeply, then covered his face with his fists and let out a horrible growl. I looked back to see the young woman; her pain was nearly unbearable. I had never felt an emotion with this much sorrow and dread. “She’s just one person, Willow; it’s not going to matter if you help her or anyone else around her,” he thought sternly.
