Chapter Five

“Peyton!” Hearing Ryan’s voice, my eyes snapped open as I sat up straight and inhaled a huge breath of air. I immediately examined my surroundings and felt confused. Last I remembered, the younger version of Peter was trying to kill me. Now I found myself sitting on the floor in front of a couch? I glanced up and realized I was surrounded by Ryan, Lovie and Peter. All of them had expressions of grave concern on their faces.

I nearly jumped out of my shoes when I spotted the creature standing beside Lovie. But after another second or so, I recognized it as Samuel, Lovie’s familiar. Similar to a witch’s familiar, Samuel was a spirit who guided Lovie in her interactions with the spirit world. He looked almost like a tarsier with enormous, circular eyes, but he was much larger, standing a good two feet tall and with orange fur. Samuel’s arms and legs were almost humanlike, but much longer. I considered Samuel Lovie’s pet, of sorts.

I could only see Samuel when my sixth sense was unblocked, thereby leaving me open to receive and interact with the spirit world.

So that means, what you just walked in on between Guarda and Peter really happened! I said to myself. Part of me still thought maybe I’d just imagined the whole thing. In all my interactions with the spirit world, I’d never experienced a situation through someone else’s eyes, such as Adele’s. Usually, I was just myself and they were themselves when they told me what I needed to know. End of story. Well, now it seemed like I’d just opened up a whole new book …

“What?” I asked as I shook my head. I immediately brought my hands to my throat as I remembered what I was experiencing before I woke up.

Mon chaton! Drake yelled inside my head and I dropped my hands back onto the floor beside me to help maintain my equilibrium. I felt strangely dizzy. But dizzy or not, I couldn’t help the relief that washed over me in knowing that Drake was back in his rightful place, inside my head.

I do not understand what just happened! Everything went black and I could not reach you, nor could I see or hear anything!

I know, Drake, I responded in thought, but he interrupted me.

Are you well? Are you injured?

I think I’m fine, Drake, I responded, pausing for a second or so to get my thoughts in order. The truth was that I was still pretty shocked and confused. From what I can gather now, I think I must have entered the visionary state and for some reason, you weren’t along for the ride.

Ah, je comprends. I understand, he answered before pausing for the space of a few seconds. Are you certain you are well, mon amour?

I don’t know, I replied truthfully, shaking my head.

“What did you see, Peyton?” Ryan asked, diverting my attention from my conversation with Drake.

As soon as I recounted everything I remembered, especially the part about Peter attacking me, my heartbeat started racing again.
