Seeing Double Chapter 9
Chapter 9
Vicki sat in her room staring at nothing in particular as she ran through her second fight with Coreen that week. Hearing Henry’s voice saying I’m Sorry over and over again in her mind, she couldn’t handle it. It was happening again, all the emotions, too many emotions with no upper hand in her mind or within her actions. She was too overwhelmed, drained and she just wanted someone to come and take it all away. Someone who would know what to do and do it with no questions asked and no excuses how they went about doing it. She needed Bethany.
Vicki had fallen asleep lying on her back slightly and curled into a semi-fetal position when her necklace began glowing. Slowly swirls of colors seemed to seep out of the pendant. Radiant blues, greens, yellow, red, and orange enveloped her body. A slight breeze whisked through her room rustling the sheets on her bed. Vicki rolled onto her back, one hand laying across her stomach the other above her head. She stirred a little, her eyebrows creasing then she relaxed. The image of an orange coyote with violet eyes filled her dreaming mind. The breeze picked up swirling all around, pulling the colors with it creating a sphere shape around Vicki and the bed. A white aura began to form around Vicki making her glow then slowly the colors merged with it and faded.
The morning light came streaming through her bedroom window making her stir and roll over. She sat up in bed looking around her trying to put together what she did last night. Pulling her hair up in a messy ponytail she walked over to her dresser and looked at herself smirking as she did. Violet eyes stared back at her.
“Finally.” Was all she said moving her bangs out of her face as she walked towards the living room.
**************
She woke up slightly disoriented, her head pounding faintly she sat up and looked around her room. What? Where am I? She asked herself trying to figure out where she was and how she had ended up sleeping in a bed that didn’t belong to her. Reaching across the bed for her glasses she stopped startled. She saw her reflection in the mirror across from her bed, straggling to get up she rushed over to the mirror.
“No.” She said unbelievingly, her eyes wide with shock pushing her raven hair from her face Vicki stared at the very person she had thought of the night before. But how had this happened? It wasn’t possible, nothing like this had ever happened before. “Where the hell am I?” She said aloud looking around franticly, looking for some evidence as to where she was and how she could get home.
She moved quickly into the living room which held a plush deep red sofa, entertainment center and coffee table. Grabbed a news paper that was laying on the coffee table Vancouver Post written boldly across the top.
“Vancouver!?” she dropped the paper onto the coffee table and went back to the bedroom. It screamed Bethany, but that wasn’t possible they had never switched like this before.
Calm down V, damn. Whispered through her mind, Vicki paused for a moment thinking she imagined it. Oh no, you’re not imagining it. It happened. Remember the last time we spoke? I told you that you couldn’t always expect me to just sit and wait. You get yourself too worked up V and that’s where I come in. You need to calm down and take a breather.
Still unbelieving of what she was hearing Vicki sat down on the chair facing the mirror in the bedroom. “This has never happened before. Why would this happen?”
The simmering image of the coyote appeared in place of her own reflection then shifted and her face looked back at her but with Violet eyes and raven hair.
Because, you were too torn, apparently you subconsciously wanted me here but only for your little vampire lover.
“He’s not my lover.”
Oh, whatever. Either way I’m here now, not of my own accord mind you. I was always there with you, just suppressed and something inside you released me.
Vicki sat there shocked not fully understanding.
Have fun V. Then the voice was gone a very confused Vicki staring at her own raven haired reflection.
Crap.
Unbeknown to dear, confused Vicki and Henry Fitzroy, they lived only down the street and around the corner from one another. What would happen once Vicki Nelson stepped foot out into the new town she had been thrown into and more importantly what would one Henry Fitzroy do when he saw her.
