Chapter 51
*Elena*
“So, I don’t understand; how did you come to be here? Do you know Ryder’s new friends?”
“Yes, of course, come on upstairs and have a rest, I bet you have a million questions, and we didn’t get to talk a lot the last time we met.” I felt very calm in her presence, almost like you’d expect to feel after a long day spent at the spa being pampered.
When she led me up the grand staircase to the largest master suite I’d ever seen, which seemed to be the only room in the house that had been decorated in any way, I followed without complaint. This room was gorgeous, and I noticed that it had many of the things I would’ve liked and chosen myself, which meant Ryder had done this. But how did he know that I would agree to come here?
“Your young man told us what you liked, and we had it taken care of. It’s a bit rushed, and he did say that you would be redecorating at some point, so don’t mind if it’s not exactly as you would’ve liked.”
“Are you kidding? It’s gorgeous. I love it.” Even the green curtains at the window were ones I would’ve chosen for a place as elegant as this.
Everything was so opulent that it was hard to believe this had all been done in a rush, but I had more important things to think about than the décor. “So, Char, was it? Why did you stop me that day, and why are you here now?” I’d thought my run-in with her all those weeks ago was by chance, but her presence here tells a different story, of course. One that I’m still not sure of.
“We’re all here because someone very powerful has taken a liking to you and has been following your situation. I can’t say much more than that about that side of things, but I can tell you that everything I told you that day was accurate to the best of my ability.”
“And what are your abilities?”
“Well, that’s an excellent question. I’m what some call a psychic, others may call me a seer, but I just like to say I have very strong premonitions and can read certain situations that others may not be able to.”
“That day, you said someone had worked black magic against me.”
“Well, it was against you and your young man, really. It was done in order to separate you two because those involved couldn’t find any other way to break the bond between you two. It was too strong for their capabilities, so they sought help. In other words, no earthly disagreement between you and your young man could’ve brought an end between you two. That is the way with soul mates. They may drift apart at times, but always they will gravitate back to each other.”
“I’m not sure I believe in that stuff anymore, soulmates, I mean. I used to feel that way about Ryder; there was something inside of me that made me believe we were meant for each other. I once even thought we’d known each other in another lifetime, but now, I think that was all just fanciful thinking brought on by too much exposure to nonsense.”
“No, you were on the right track, but here’s where the dark magic came in. They, too, saw it and understood, and so they used their craft against you two. It did take them a few years, though.”
“But why? I don’t understand. Why would anyone go to this much trouble just to break us up? Was it just so he could marry her?”
“That’s only part of it; the rest I will leave up to your young man to tell you. I’m here only to protect you from whatever they will do next.”
“Do next? What do you mean? Haven’t they done all that they mean to do?”
“They may have thought so, but the thing with those spells and such is that they can sometimes backfire, and when they do, the ones who sent them, who caused the chaos, might try to fix it.”
“Fix it how?”
“There’s nothing for you to worry about. You just leave that stuff to me. As long as I’m here, nothing can be done against you.”
“But why are you doing all this? And who is this powerful person that’s helping Ryder and me? And why?”
“I’m not a hundred percent sure why. There can be so many reasons with that one. It could be as simple as the fact that you bear her grandmother’s name or the fact that she likes your music and TV shows. All that I was told was to take a look at you and your situation because it was suspected that something more was at play, and they were right.”
“That day I saw you, I’d been watching you for a while before I made my approach. It was long enough for me to see the signs.”
