basking in the sun, breathing in the fresh outdoor air, and feeling the wind whip my hair around
my face. I look back at my new home behind me and sigh as my mind automatically thinks of
Nate. I lie down in the grass, feeling the wind whipping around my hair and the grass grazing
my legs ever so slightly. Again I let my mind wander to thoughts of wondering if I ever would
have moved out of my parent’s house had it not been for Nate. What would my life have been
like? Would I have stayed at the of ice until retirement in quiet misery? Breaking me out of my
moment I think I hear someone shouting my name. I look around, but I’m alone here in my new
backyard. Where is that noise coming from? I shrug my shoulders and try to continue my
thought processes, but a part of me is still on alert. There it is again, my name, Sera! I finally
climb to my feet and look through the glass wall of our house. Nate isn’t there. I must be
imagining things.
Maybe my senses are just extra sensitive today. I begin to walk along the clif and I hear it a
little louder now. Sera! I glance out over the clif and the winding river below that continues far
into the distance. SERA! Finally my eyes lock on something in the river below, Nate.
What I’m not expecting is the hand that’s holding his head under water is big, clawed, and
belongs to none other than Gabe. Gabe, the hunk from the of ice that tried to kill me only a few
short days ago. His eyes are no longer green, they are all black and staring straight up at me
like he’s tempting me to do something about it. He lifts Nate’s head back up as he tries to catch
his breath while gulping down chunks of water. Nate’s arms are flailing around trying to grab
onto something to defend himself, no to avail. “Sera!” he sputters out before Gabe shoves his
head back down into the water. This time I know he’s not going to let him back up for air. He
will kill him. There is no time, no thinking, Nate needs me. I extend my arms out like a bird’s
wings, somewhere inside me I feel like I can fly. I dive of the clif to help Nate. I open my eyes
to see, it’s working! I have wings, big white glorious wings and… I’m flying! I think excitedly as
my eyes lock on Gabe’s dark ones only instead of the fear I expect to see, he laughs at me. A
strange, haunting laugh like he wanted this to happen.
I land on the ground hard before my eyes fly open. Nate is on top of me screaming words
my mind can’t quite make out yet. I glance around in shock, I’m outside in the grass by the cliff.
Stars are sparkling above me and in a stupor of confusion my mind is trying to make out what
Nate is yelling.
“Sera! What were you doing? Tell me what was that?” his hands are shaking in anger.
“What?” I don’t seem to understand, “What happened?” I ask shaking my head as I begin
to sit up.
“What do you mean? You were about to jump off the cliff!” he yells putting his hands on
his head and paces back and forth in front of me.
“But, I was dreaming…” I try putting my thoughts together.
“Sera, I heard you walking past my office so I followed you out here and you were about to
jump! I dived at you at the last minute and caught you just in time!” He states angrily waiting
for an explanation.
I’m so confused. “I was dreaming you were in the river and I needed to save you, I was
flying down to save you…it was a dream, at least I thought it was…” I rub my forehead.
Processing what I had just said with his silent angry face he finally softens and states, “Let’s
get you back to bed,” before picking me up and carrying me back inside the house. By the time
he’s climbing the stairs, I find myself nodding back off to sleep in his arms. I can feel him
tucking me in and his footsteps trace back to the door. Suddenly I’m wideawake, frightened
that I could sleep walk again.
“Wait, Nate!” I softly yell.
“Yes?” he responds over his shoulder pausing in the doorway.
“Please don’t leave. I’m scared to go to sleep.” I admit quietly. He doesn’t have to respond I
know he will stay. He probably wanted to anyway knowing his overprotective self. He walks
back to the other side of the room, grabs the green chair from the corner, and pulls it up beside
my bed. Leaning back he puts his feet up on the edge of the bed, I can’t tell if he’s sleeping or
not but I feel better knowing that he’s there.
I roll over facing away from him as I try to close my eyes. Instead of drifting to sleep again,
I find my mind wandering to how I could have walked all that way unconscious, what would
have happened if I had jumped? How could this happen? Is this another gift? Or is it a curse?
Unable to sleep, I roll back to face Nate. The moon is shining in through my window falling on
Nate’s face. His eyes are closed and he looks so peaceful, but I know he’s not going to get any
sleep tonight. I find myself wondering what I would do without him. Finally, unconsciousness
finds me as I’m falling asleep wondering how I won the Angel lottery.
