Skye’s Path

She stood there naked, shivering and filled with fear. Nothing was right. She was a forty year old woman living in Texas. She was supposed to be there right now. Instead she was standing in the hallway of the house she grew up in. A house in another state. Furthermore, her body was now only ten years old.

The woman in the shear white gown beckoned her. She stepped back and almost turned to run.

Lightning struck outside with a blinding light and instant crashing thunder. She nearly jumped out of her skin as she slammed her back to the wall. For a fleeting moment she saw a figure in the bathroom window and before she could really look and see for sure, the bathroom door suddenly slammed shut.

The woman took her hand and led her into the kitchen. She looked up into her eyes and recognized something. She felt now that she was supposed to know her. Why did she fear her a moment ago? In the middle of the kitchen the woman of white draped a shear cloak around Skye and tied it at the neck.

“You will need this. It is not all powerful and will not keep you from the dangers and evil that seeks your soul. It is better than nothing.”

“Who are you?

“Your heart knows me. Didn’t you feel your fear fly away when I took your hand?”

“I don’t understand.”

“Heart knows me, but your mind has lost me because of so much time. Long ago I had two children. A leader of a great kingdom and an Empress. History has forgotten them. Evil has not. You and your brother are their descendants.”

Sky feels her heart telling her that every word is true, “Why am I here?”

The woman of white looks out the window with concern in her eyes, “This place is supposed to be a trap for you. A demonic evil from long ago is still creating chaos and misery in this world and has discovered your brother untouched. He seeks to destroy him.”
