Chapter Eighteen

I Am Goddess Hear Me Roar

I came back to myself with a jerk at the sound of Charlie barking. He rarely barked and when he did it was because he was warning me. The sensation of returning to my body was like I’d put my mouth on a vacuum hose, the suction a thousand times more powerful.

For a moment I stood there, disoriented. Charlie barked again, staring in the direction of the dressing room. I forced myself to turn and saw a shadow standing there.

What the hell?

I’d always thought that danger would come at me from vampires or a pissed off witch.

This threat, however, was from a human.

The shadow moved, which meant he was standing in front of the opaque window in the bathroom. How had he gotten into my suite? By way of the magical door? If so, that meant he was an employee at the castle. I would have thought that Dan vetted all his staff and that they’d be loyal.

I summoned my aura, but it wasn’t showing up. Only a weak pale yellow colored light appeared at my feet. I tried again, but it was like the power just wasn’t there. I tried to gather up all my emotions, but the only thing I could feel was panic. In seconds, I was going to be confronted by someone who wanted to hurt me - what other reason was he in my room? Right now I had a brave dog and nothing else.

Fear froze my thoughts. I didn't go into a fight or flight response. I went into stand-there-like-an-idiot mode.

If I couldn’t conquer my fear, I was a sitting duck.

I’d been afraid before, but I’d still acted. At Maddock’s house, instead of waiting for him to do whatever he’d wanted to do, I’d escaped. I’d confronted the witch hologram only feet from where I was standing. When Maddock had plastered himself against my window, I’d zapped him. In my gynecologist’s office, I’d been terrified, but I’d fought Maddock again.

I had protected myself, and been filled with, if not courage, then certainly outrage. I needed to remember how that felt. Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to calm. Whatever was in the bathroom, whoever was waiting to pounce on me was determined. I had to be the same. I couldn’t allow fear to take over.

I raised my arms at my sides, fingers pointed to the floor. Slowly, I brought them up until my hands met over my head. The aura flowed freely with my movements, cloaking me in golden light. Charlie barked again and I stretched out my hand to encircle him until he was enclosed in the protection.

I didn't know what my aura could do. I didn't know if it acted like a force field, or simply illuminated me. Would bullets bounce off of it? Would it protect me from a knife or a rocket launcher? Or was it simply a fancy light I could generate with a thought? Could I zap someone through it?

I guess I was going to find out.
