Atticus stood before me like a huge pillar of strength and comfort. I looked at the owl claw looking necklace she was wearing and shook my head. “You must be crazy! Did you hit your head?" I whispered. He understood my confusion and smiled slowly. “It's a lot to take in and I'm quite disappointed that your family didn't explain any of this to you sooner. However, I assume you can feel the necklace you're wearing get warmer as I get closer? And I can see it changing colors too." I look down at the vintage flower necklace I was given on my eighteenth birthday, a few days ago. He was right, my bloom had a beautiful glow and was starting to warm up giving my skin a flushed look. I looked up as Atticus approached me, the glow of his necklace making me catch my breath. “Our variety has something special, a way of finding the person who completes us and makes our soul whole. There are some things that have to align for us to find ourselves, but we always find our souls. "Makenzie, I've been looking for you all over the world, you have no idea how I've been looking for you!" His face looked pained as he whispered, “I have no idea how difficult it is to cross dimensions. It is not an easy task; you don't take it lightly." While I was still trying to rationalize and understand what Atticus had just told me, I turned and looked around. Late October was always beautiful in Perrydale, the leaves slowly accumulating and the fields golden as far as the eye could see. It looked like most of the school had flocked to the bonfire from the look of the crowd around... the center of the paper... being. If I lose you again, I won't make it. We can only spend so much time separated from each other when we finally reunite after achieving fruitfulness. If we do this, the order of things will intervene." Everything that was going through my mind suddenly quieted as he lowered his head, his beautiful blue eyes capturing not only my attention but also my heart. He sweetly, tenderly me He grabbed my face with his hands. Time stopped as he slowly placed his lips on mine. We melded into one until I pushed against his chest and pulled back. “I remember running in this field when we were young and I remember you." My breathing was fast and my heart beat like never before. "I am ready to meet my family and I will keep an open mind." My calm green eyes met his deep blue eyes with determination we turned and started walking towards the beautiful and lively city in front of us.
