Everything outside grew quiet "How do you know he’s gone? Don’t tell me you can read minds?"

"I can see intent, feel emotions He wanted to harm you Oh, God" The warm adrenalin rush now spent left a chill in its place "He was in"I feel violated and dirty"

"Do you think he’s like you? A Druid?"

"I don’t know He held power He watched us, Todd" She searched his eyessure he heard her "He wanted us to stop"

Todd’s jaw clenched as he stood and pulled out of her ar to take a look, just toher best to ward off the chill, Myra wrapped her arone, tripped over the trash barrels on the side yard, but other than that I didn’t see a thing"

Todd pulled her off the floor and walked her to the couch She watched as he went around locking doors and shutting curtains Once he returned, she curled up into his lap and did her best to calure out ould be watching them and why

"You’re cold" He rubbed his hands over her arms "How about a fire?" He pulled away and sht it faster then I can," he said

Surprised he was suggesting she use her gift, she asked, "Are you sure?"

The slight twitch in the corner of his eye was the only clue that he was a little nervous She opened her hand to the hearth and watched as the flames leapt from the embers

To Todd’s credit, he didn’t even flinch "Is there any way you can teach me that trick?"

She smiled and rested in his arms Perhaps there was hope for him Maybe he’d learn to accept who and what she was "Sorry It’s in the blood I’m afraid"

"Too bad That could come in handy"

"It does"

His hand stroked her hair, cal her down

"Who do you think was out there?" he asked

"I don’t know"

"Could someone have followed you from the past?"

"I don’t think it’s possible, but I don’t know for sure All I do know is he felt evil and wanted us to stop"

"Then that wipes out a voyeur"

"What is that?"

"So his sentence

"Grainna would want us to stop But it was a man out there Of that I’m certain

"Maybe he works with this woht of that" Myra knew Grainna hadher every need when she lived in this tiht you mentioned a curse," Todd said
