DISTANT PAST - ISAIAH

When she saw her daughter, Katie’s mother’s face betrayed a sense of worry when she came to collect Jeremiah.

“It’s okay, mother,” Katie attempted a brave smile. “We need to talk about things; we’ll be fine.”

Katie put on a brave face and waved to Jeremiah as he drove away in her mother’s backseat.

Katie returned to the living room next to Isaiah, with Sammie on the other side of their man. The table was full of small stacks of paper and disturbing nude photos of other women. Isaiah took a deep breath and tried to start at the beginning. He had to confess and come clean. He needed their trust, not blind obedience.

“I will be straight,” Isaiah said, “I am not like you, I’m different, I’m like a psychic. I think. My father is too. I think we can make people think different thoughts.”

“Like hypnotism?” Sammie had said, having watched variety shows where a charismatic performer controlled people.

“No, not exactly,” he said, struggling to find a way to explain, “I can change what people believe is right or wrong. I can fix how well they can exercise self-control.”

Katie looked at him, then blanched. “You’ve done that with us? Is that what you’re saying?”

Katie was happy living with Isaiah and Sammie, but she knew how they lived had brought curious stares. Classmates often questioned her about her living arrangements. She knew that how the three of them lived and loved wasn’t normal. But she didn’t understand precisely how it had come to be. It felt as if it was usual to love two people.

Her eyes widened as she recalled the night she had caught Isaiah and Sammie.

“You did!” and Isaiah nodded and bowed his head. Katie’s anger grew, and Isaiah just looked at her, allowing her to get angrier.

Katie’s thoughts teemed as she thought more about it. What else had he changed? His look of guilt and shame soon cooled her thoughts. But she realized she was controlling her emotions. He wasn’t affecting her.

“You could change me now,” she said quietly, if you wanted, “You could make me accept this news with a grin instead of a broken heart.”

Sammie listened, confused, as she also put the pieces together, then shrank away from Isaiah. Sammie looked at Katie with tears in her eyes. Isaiah listened and clung to the breastplate, he knew this was painful for his loves, but he was tired of hiding. They needed to process this unbelievable information.

“Why?” Katie asked, “Why aren’t you fixing me now? Oh, Isaiah, I’m hurting.”

Isaiah showed her the plate that limited his powers. He explained how he’d gotten it from some man in the mountains. How he’d been tempted at the hotel and how he was able to run away from his weakness. He told them he never meant to hurt them. He just was trapped by his selfish actions.

“I love you, Katie. I never meant to hurt you,” he said, then turned to Sammie, “I love you too, in much the same way.
