8th Episode – My Birthday (S1 Ep.8-1)

1.   The reality of the present

Would Joan be dreaming, or indeed her brother would be in front of her confessing the breakup of the deal they made? Mikhael was so aware of the danger as Joan, of that she had no doubt. Why risk it? Why not give Joan the time she asked for?

Joan: I don't think I understood well!

Seth: It is true Rebecca. I’m sorry, I meant, Joan! But I don't think this is the ideal place to discuss it.

Mikhael was right, his words awakened Joan to the environment in her surroundings, her embarrassment was notorious for her rosy cheeks. Knowing now that Mikhael was one of the teachers of her school, the look of the personnel bothered as much as the possibility of raising any suspicion about the true nature of both.

She looked through the blinds and saw the student association information room empty. There they could have a conversation a little more comfortable.

Joan: Follow me ... What's your name these days?! Oh yes, I've heard, "Seth". - The tone of censure was unnoticed to Mikhael, he knew that be so close to me it was a risk, but the pain of separation for more than a millennium, the beat of my heart, as if it called for him, blurred his reason and made him step on that risk.

Mikhael followed Joan, as she asked, and upon entering the room, he closed the door behind him. With the pounding of Joan’s heart, Mikhael expected a stormy reaction of his sister. Rebecca never liked to feel pressed, and he was sure she would not understand his motives. How could she? Her young soul had never experienced such love, so he thought.

Seth: Calm down, please. I'm one of the teachers, but not yours, I made sure of that.

Joan: “Seth”! We have a deal, and you being here is not part of it. It's still too soon.

Seth: I know, but I just want to be around, we are not going to cross our ways.

Joan: She felt you! This isn't right "Seth", she is not ready.

Seth: I know and I also know how to wait.

Joan: No, you don't know! You weren't there when she screamed because all of her body was burning in her mind, you weren't there when she threw herself over the cliff. -With tears in her eyes, she continued. - You do not know, because you weren't there!

Seth: That's not fair, Rebecca!

Joan: You right, is not, nor have to live with the awareness of what I did. - Took a deep breath and wiped the tears. In a few minutes, a flood of students had filled the main hall. - Just let me find a solution. A form to Anastacia come back to us without the pain, nor the violence of the deaths of her past lives!

Seth: You know that this is not possible.

Joan: I'm going to find a way. - And as fast as the hall filled, it emptied once more doing her realized that the time had passed too fast. - I have to go, but this conversation is over, Professor.

Seth: Can we meet outside of school?

Joan: Tomorrow afternoon on the beach garden, it’s okay to you?

Seth: Of course!
