Chapter V

“Let me get this straight,” Megan pressed after Michael gave a rather vague and brief summary of his reunion with Barbara. “Your… friend… used a spell that let you know I was the next target? And how to find me?”

Michael kept one hand on the steering wheel while sipping his coffee with the other. Without taking his eyes off the road, he easily set the Styrofoam cup back in the plastic holder fixed to the lower middle of the console. “She has the gift of foresight,” he explained. “She doesn’t get a clear image of future events, since the future isn’t set, but she can pinpoint her focus to certain aspects of importance. In this case, the next Virgin Select in the Cycle of the Dark Year.”

“And she what? Copied the image into your mind?”

“No. She held your image in her own mind and did this for me.” He used his non-steering hand and pulled a sheet of scrap paper from his pocket, handing it to her.

Megan opened the folded sheet and soon found herself unable to take her eyes off it for several minutes, staring dumbfounded at a very detailed sketch of herself. The drawing had been done merely in pencil, but it had the quality of a master artist. “This is incredible!”

“And she did it with her eyes closed,” Michael bragged of his friend. “She was also able to dig deep enough to give me enough information to find you.”

“Information about me?” Megan couldn’t shake the creepy feeling that ran up her spine. She’s heard of the high likelihood of pretty women like herself being stalked on social media these days, but being stalked by psychics seemed more discomforting.

“Not personal information,” he said as her tone of voice betrayed her thoughts. “It’s not like she gave me your social or bank account number. Other kinds of details. Like how you attend the 10:30 service every Sunday at St. Elizabeth’s, as well as your involvement with the Bible Study meetings. I’ll tell you, I was more than surprised to hear you were a parishioner at the same church I grew up in… well, the orphanage run by it anyway. Part of me was looking forward to going back, but then I saw how much everything had changed…”

Megan could tell he might drift into the past by the distant look in his eyes. And perhaps there may still have been some residual connection between them, as she entertained the idea that he was starting to feel a sense of regret for something in that past. She decided to redirect his thoughts before the atmosphere in the confined space of the Silverado grew melancholy. “So, there’s light magic and dark magic, right?”

“Pretty much,” he confirmed, his blue eyes blinking away sad memories. “In a way, it really is kind of like the Force. But you wouldn’t know about that, would you.” He smirked at her.

“I guess not,” she smirked back, relieved that his playful mood hadn’t been completely ruined by whatever had begun to haunt his thoughts.
