“Fine, I’ll help you. But I’m not in the mood for a hassle. Listen to me. Do what I say and we will get along just fine. Understood?
“Yeah, captain, I got it.” She drawled in a sexy southern accent I hadn’t paid much attention to earlier.
Nodding, my thoughts went back to Pagan. Was she happy now? What was she doing? Would she miss me at all?
I needed to see her one last time. Could I get away with going to check on her or would Dankmar make good on his threat? Forcing thoughts of Pagan aside I focused on the girl standing in front of me. The one who needed me.
“I’ll go find your sister now. You stay here in your room.”
Sabine began shaking her head.
“That part isn’t up for argument. I will bring your sister back to you. But if you go with me, it will mess up everything. Ghede isn’t going to just let you walk away from here if he sees you.”
She swallowed nervously, “You mean your father?”
So, she had heard a lot more of mine and Pagan’s conversation than I’d realized. “Yeah, my father.”
Finally she stepped back into her room and started to close the door. I watched as she studied me a moment. “But you didn’t make the girl stay with you. She wanted to leave and you let her.”
“I’m not my father. I’m nothing like my father. That’s the problem.”
“Closer” by Dank Walker - Ceaseless (Existence #3) coming September 18, 2012
Daylight fades away as I watch you from a distance
Darkness claims the sky and I wish you could only know
We’re supposed to be miles away but something draws me closer
We’re supposed to be far away but gravity brings us closer
Closer than your skin, rebellion deep within, you’ve taken over me and I can’t seem to swim. To the top of myself, I’m under your control. I’m wondering how we got here I’m wondering how we got here to the place we should go.
Ooooh oooh oooooh
The place we should go
Ooooh oooooh ooooh
Souls aren’t meant for things like this
Our worlds were never meant to collide
You’re better off leaving while you have something to leave behind
We’re supposed to be miles away but something draws me closer
We’re supposed to be far away but gravity beings us closer
Closer than your skin, rebellion deep within, you’ve taken over me and I can’t seem to swim. To the top of myself, I’m under your control. I’m wondering how we got here I’m wondering how we got here to the place we should go.
