CHAPTER 10

Rapture

Waiting for news is torture—news from Vex about the Healers, from my mom about my dad’s location and from Sandra as she tries to get a firmer location on Greg. The edge-of-my-seat, pins-and-needles feeling, makes me grind my teeth, creating a symphony of noises in my head as my pulsing eardrums keep the bass beat. Each one of these intense happenings is driving me mad with the sheer lack of control of what will happen next, and most of all when. Why do I have this sickening feeling that it may all crash down on me at once, and why can’t there be three of me to juggle it all?

I am itching to tell Vex and Terra about the Dreamwalk Valant stole from me—ah crap, they will freak about Valant. Jeez, it’s hard enough agreeing to work with a Demon. Now it’s like I feel I have to hide that I’m hanging out with that ‘bad friend’ we all had and were forbidden to bring home. Knowing those two, they have already heard about this incident, but maybe not specifically the words that Valant heard, that it was “for the good of the cause.” This nut-job has some crazed agenda, as if killing innocent Healers is considered good at any cock-eyed angle. Ah, so many things to worry about and my hands are triple knotted at the moment.

To top it all off, who in the hell taught Dana how to text? I’m getting a text an hour asking me when I am getting back to the desert. I know she doesn’t live in the world I do. Dana is in the Protectors’ world, and she cannot understand how I can live in both, or why I am still hanging on to ‘normal’ life and people. After what happened to Shane I am sort of seeing her logic, but then the last text she sent was a sick attempt to get me back there so I could see Justin as well. Yuck, who taught her about Internet porn anyhow?

At least being at the club is distracting enough for now, although my teeth continue to grind and push a chill through me over and over. The loud, pulsing music and dressed-to-the-nines crew in Rapture tonight, manage to eek a smile from my red lips. Nodding to some familiar faces, I shake the worries long enough to give some hugs and compliments.

I didn’t get an opportunity to watch the opening fully unfold over the last few weeks, or even assist in working out the kinks, but I think that Carmen, Sandra, and the boys did a fine job. It’s been less than a month, yet for some reason being here feels so alien. All of the things I had developed with Shane, the thrilling music rushing through me, the lights playing all around me, all things I loved and lost myself to are just not maintaining the same spark for me right now. My mind is too heavy with worry, my muscles triggering to fight rather than dance.
