Chapter 21: Under Suspicion

MALENA’S POV:

There is some force keeping me here, I’m not sure what it is, but it has to do with that bartender guy. When I made eye contact with him, it was like I was in some kind of trance. I must figure this out before I go back home. I have powers now that I can protect myself from anything and anyone.

I’m going to wait outside until I see that the man is not busy. Then I’m going to go to him. This is just something I must figure out for myself because I have no idea as to why this has happened or why something is drawing me to this man at a bar that I’ve never been to. While I waited for him outside, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder and when I turned around I could not believe who it was. It’s Jeramiah.

“OMG. What are you doing here?” I asked him.

“I was in town and I saw you and thought I’d say hi,” he replied.

“You scared the shit outta me!” I said.

“What are you doing just standing here?” he asked.

“Oh, no reason. I wanted to see what town is like,” I said.
