Transference

SOPHIESince the moment I saw his face, my life has been in chaos. I don t know his name, but still I see him night after night his striking face appearing in my dream. Is it a portent of things to come, warning me to run from him? Or could it mean something else? I can t seem to make any sense of it, and lately, my idyllic life hasn t been so idyllic. I can t tell my parents about these impossible things I can do because I don t want to see that fear in their eyes the same fear I feel growing stronger in me every day. So instead of running, I make the decision to trust him. I let him calm my fear while I confront truths I d rather keep hidden. Still, I can t tell him that my greatest fear is the little time we have left. Soon, I ll have to watch him walk away. ZACHI ve done some things I m not proud of, but who hasn t? Okay, maybe I ve done a few more than most, but these days I don t give into those distractions. Especially when I feel the consequences in ways nobody could ever understand. Now, I occupy my time by going where I m needed. I keep things calm and controlled while helping them see the hard choices they ll have to make. I ve done it countless times. Except nothing about this girl is like those other times. There s more for her to fear than just these strange, but extraordinary things she can do she also has a past she doesn t even know about yet. So even if she would prefer to keep me at a distance, I simply can t let that happen. I need to know her secrets and keep her safe. It s what I do. I m the empath.
