Chapter 8

JAY

Visions, and now Faeries. What the hell had I stepped into? I'm not sure if I would have believed anything my dad said if I hadn’t gone through what I did yesterday and this morning. Today had turned into a surreal version of the Twilight Zone. Then again, maybe I was dreaming. Maybe I didn’t save someone yesterday. Maybe I was the one that got shot. Maybe I'm in a coma. Like that British TV show I used to watch on BBC America. That get up that Dad's wearing. He loves a joke, but there's something about it that's too weird to not be real. No, I don’t think so. I'm not in a coma, I'm here and I think this is really happening.

I'm not sure what Nikki went through, but yesterday's vision had been different. More like an out of body experience… but I still knew I'd been in the car when it was happening. And this morning with the EAB. They knew I was something else. Guerrier out and out said so. He was stunned when I told him he was crazy. I knew there was more going on with those guys than met the eye!

Dad's explanations and then the Faerie's with the wings… and that Imp, what was his name? Alf or something? There's no way I could have dreamt them up. But this Faerie, this Hamadryad… There's something about her… I don’t know… but whatever it is, it's almost like I'm supposed to know her. Maybe that's what he meant when he said the magic was part of me. It's like I already do know her.

I was still lost in thought when Dad grabbed my hand. There was a strange feeling like goosebumps over my entire body, and then we were somewhere else.

"Whoa," was all I could think to say as I stepped into what Dad called Fae. "That was different. Are we in a forest?" I had to blink my eyes a few times to get everything to come into focus.

"Looks like," Nikki agreed. I saw her turn towards Dad, and her expression turned from amazement into shock. "What the hell? Dad, is that you?"

I looked to see what she was talking about and instead of my dad there was someone else standing there. No, holy shit… that was Dad.

"Oops, forgot to mention that part," he said.

Nikki was going on about him looking like he did in old pictures, and I'll be damned if he didn't. He looked like he did back when he'd first become a cop. Or maybe like when he and Mom had first been married. Then she walked up to him and put her hands on his face and head. I heard an ouch as she pulled his hair, and then he laughed.

"I guess I forgot lesson number two," he said. "Things aren't always what they seem."

"But how," I asked. "Or maybe I should ask why. Why do you look different here? Wait a minute. Something's not right… I feel different too!" I put my hands on my face before reaching down to check the rest of my body.
