One step back, two front (S1 Ep.15-9)

At the gate of my entrance contemplating the interior lights all turn-off, Mikhael went further with me in his arms. Try to be sure that this was without the presence of a living soul, they opened the door with a touch of magic.

Seth: I take her to the bedroom.

Francis: Joan! – He said grabbing the arm of Joan, while shaking his head in the negative sense, suggesting that let us go alone.

Landed me gently on the bed and cuddled me with the blanket that was at my feet. Listening to the beat of my heart, now, light and quiet, took from his coat pocket a small box. Landed it on the nightstand...

Seth: I will always protect you. You have a whole future waiting for you, fill it with love and passion, that you’ll fear nothing. - With his sweet words and a kiss on my forehead, he was saying goodbye...

As strong, quick and wise he could possibly be I was his weakness and he was mine. With a heavy heart, Mikhael would fulfil his word. If for my security he has to keep the distance, then so would do it, as much as it hurt in his soul.

Went downstairs, recalling the sound of my voice, the warmth with which I spoke, the tenderness in my gestures, the joy I exuded by a smile at the sight of him...

Seth: Did you find anything? 

Francis: No, there is no trace of magic here. I don't understand ... I saw a shadow over her home! The same that invaded the thoughts of Anna ...

Seth: You said we had to find the source of its power. The black magic is consolidated with black objects, the door to the underworld. When you take the articles no trace is left behind. Do not use nature and its purity, use the energies of lost souls, subjugating them to their will.

Joan: Who would do this?

Seth: Someone powerful… Very powerful! - Something was wrong, Mikhael lacked the magic of yore but his instincts have always been sharped. Believed to have felt the presence that Francis was talking about ... And he wanted to clear up his doubt. - Francis, do you drive?

Francis: Yes, but ...

Seth: Take the Infant back to the party. Rebecca, tell her mother that you brought Rose home with the driver of Ms Beatrice.

Joan: Okay

Seth: I keep watch until D. Marya gets back.

While Joan and Francis disappeared on the horizon Mikhael lurked in the shadows. He could not be near, but the distance was not easy. In a thousand years did not love anyone else like Anastacia and although the resemblance was remarkable, there was so much in us that he recognized as different. She was stronger than me, had much more conviction in her actions, a true leader. I was not so, the mere idea of having to speech make me nervous. If I have to do a presentation to a full room make me sick of my stomach.

Next to my bedroom window Mikhael, with his shiny look, watch me like he could see my soul, knew every trace of my face and my character and accept me as simply me. The humility and honesty of my actions conquered him. Resist the urge to want to be closer became unbearable. Went down to the garden and walked around the House remembering every moment here past. In his heart wished I wake up looking for him, but his mind asked him prowess and caution in his actions.

Many were the moments we spend hours conversating. The sharing, the confidence transmitted in each word was like two friends catching up time. Although each one was like the first I felt him close to my heart. Mikhael was cordial and generous in his was to address to everyone and his histories, his adventures made me fall in love with him. Forget him was more painful than not having him close…
