praying to God to see you again, just one more time." I whisper, and the dam breaks.
    "Why....didn't....you come....?" I sob into his chest. "You let....me....believe....I was going.... insane!" I gasp out in between sobs, weakly beating my fights against his chest.
    He gently grabs my small wrists in his large calloused hands, pulls them up, and places them around his neck. He wraps his arms around my lower back and pulls my body flush with his and sighs deeply.
    "Please forgive me Jinny. I thought you needed time to adjust to the idea of me. I was always close to you, even when you couldn't see me." He whispers, trying to comfort me as his hands caress my back and his lips brush whisper soft kisses on my forehead and on the top of my head.
    "I don't understand what this is between us. But, please, please Senefru....don't leave me again. I just....I can't handle it again." I beg him as a fresh round of tears fall from my eyes, soaking his beautiful chest. I'm finally in the arms of the man I've searched for and dreamed of all my life.
    "Shhh. I'm not going anywhere, I promise. Now, what really has you so upset?"
    I find myself rambling, telling him everything. I tell him how Madi treated Abdiel, how my dreams of him have turned frightening. The dreams of my own death in a place I've never been before and how they terrify me. I tell him how shadow lovingly wakes me up. Finally, I tell him about the voice still reverberating in my head and how it trapped me when I looked at the flames straight from Hell.
    I feel my body begin to shake fiercely as the fear rises within me again. When I'm done telling him everything, I'm exhausted and I just want to go home.
    "Sweetheart. you look absolutely worn out, do you want me to take you home?"
    "I want you to come home with me.... please. Although, I do have this very handsome visitor who sleeps with me at night. You might have a fight on your hands over that side of the bed." I tell him and laugh.
    He just smiles one of those secretive smiles that makes me wonder what he's thinking.
    "I'll win that battle, don't worry." He smirks, clearly he knows something I don't.
    "Just let me tell Damien I'm leaving and we can go." At my look of fear when my eyes drift in the direction of that horrid wall, he asks, "Do you want to come with me?"
    "Um....That's ok, people will see how splotchy and awful I look...."
    "Say no more darling" He lifts me into his arms and cuddles me against his chest tightly as I hide my face in his neck.
    Before we get to his scary friend, I hear Madi's annoying voice again. I sigh heavily into Senefru's neck.
    "What the hell are you doing with my sister?" She demands and to which Senefru growls angrily, "It's none of your damn business woman! You've hurt my mate for the last time! I don't give a shit who you think you are...."
    "What's going on here?" I hear Damien's chilling voice ask.
    Oh God, it's the intruder, Damien, the one Madi asked about that day! My heart races like thunder in my chest, my body becomes clammy and cold despite the warmth of the body holding me. I try to crawl into Senefru's skin.
    He senses my panic and fear and tightens his arms around me while pulling the bottom of my dress tightly down and holds it there, keeping my rear end covered.
    "Don't you dare frighten my mate Damien! Your bitch in heat has done enough damage for the night already. You need to deal with her before I do!" Senefru growls fiercely at him.
    "I'm taking her home, tell Demonicus to meet me at the front door, right now!"
    Father, I can hear you. I'm upstairs working. It's alright, take your lady home. I feel awful that she's had such a bad experience here. She looks just like mother! Demonicus sends the message to Senefru telepathically.
    Very well. Thank you son. Please come over tomorrow morning. I would like her to meet you, to see if you trigger her memories, as she's already in great danger from Satan. But, I'll explain that in the morning.
    I'll be there father. Send me
