Chapter 15
[I decided not to describe the tortures and the Indian and all in detail; it's the same as in SB]
Julia knew Mason was in danger, but she just could not make CC believe it. The great CC Capwell thought
Mason had run away from the mess he had started. He would not even listen to Julia. It was hopeless.
Mason's mother would only roll her eyes and repeat, "oh no." It seemed her limit.
Matt was sad. No one would believe such a small baby could feel the absence of an adult, but Julia would
not let him forget Mason.
In the end, after talking it all over with Matt, Julia made up her mind to go seeking Mason. Fortunately,
Kelly and Jeffrey, knowing the story of a villain threatening her with a knife, agreed to help her. Actually
they were sure they could find Mason on their own and were not too thrilled with the idea of a pregnant
woman getting into such a risky enterprise. Julia was adamant that she would go.
Of course Kelly and Jeffrey were Mason's siblings, but they did not hear his voice calling them, almost
every night.
*
He did not hear how Julia was crying, struggling to get to him; he was too far away. But he must have felt
something, for he opened his eyes.
The two dark stars shining in front of him looked painfully familiar.
'Julia,' he thought.
She'd been coming to him in his delirium, calling him home, pleading with him. He knew that was because
of their unique spiritual bond, and because he had promised he would come back. He rather doubted the
latter, now.
But, well, he really wished he could be there with her, at least when she was giving birth to their baby. He
did not want to take any chances.
I could be there as a guardian angel, after my death; it seems the most probable variant, at the moment,
Mason thought to himself, and his lips moved.
Julia was speaking rapidly. It was something different from his usual delirium. Mason got concerned.
"Are you all right?" he said, with an effort.
She stopped short. "Mason!"
He tried to concentrate, and the mist he was seeing through was gone. He saw Julia standing there, very
pregnant, and Kelly and Jeffrey. That was the most unreal thing, and so Mason was convinced it was real.
He smiled. After all, maybe it was too early for him to become a guardian angel. He rather doubted he
could become one, anyway. Has anyone ever heard of a f a l l e n guardian angel?
