She Is Getting Closer

Sunshine is getting closer. I can sense it each time she awakens a new power, comes to a new understanding.

I sensed it when she first felt the cold. She perceives it as weakness—the strange feeling in her belly, the way her heart quickens, the gooseflesh on her arms—to her, it feels like an illness. But soon—once she has passed—she will learn how to harness that sensation, how to let it wash over her, to welcome it and then release it. Most of us are able to do so intuitively, but so far she hasn’t allowed her intuition to take over. When she finally began to understand just what the cold might signify, she forced that understanding away, denied what she was beginning to comprehend. She is fighting this.

And yet, despite her fight, she is making progress. The professor was a lovely trick, if I do say so myself. I’ll have to thank Abner for his participation. It took a lot of strength to put him and his office in place, but it was well worth it. And the books were a stroke of brilliance. Just a little bit of help, a nudge to get them onto the correct path.

They didn’t notice me driving behind them as they wended their way through the campus’s twists and turns. Soon after they left, Abner appeared at my side: She doesn’t understand, he said. This is the girl you’re counting on to repair what’s broken?

But even Abner doesn’t know the truth. I don’t exactly want to repair anything. And Sunshine could be the reason I don’t have to.

How convenient that she found that Nolan so quickly—another way in. If I cared about such things, I would find it touching that Sunshine’s journey is bringing him a sense of peace about his own grandfather, one of few humans who truly cared about the paranormal world. In another time, when we congregated with humans, I might have known the man. I might have validated his beliefs. But such times are long past. Such times precede even me, and I am the oldest creature I know.

Nolan was the one to read the book, to find the word and say it out loud first. It is, I suppose, appropriate—considering what he will be to her—that he be the one who puts the pieces together. But this is not about him. It is about her.

It is good to see just how much fight she has in her. Her will is strong, her essence forceful. I wonder how long she will go on fighting before she realizes she must put that fight to better use.
