Introduction
A strong gust of summer wind blew a set of dark blue curtains upward. Though the window millions of stars twinkled like glitter thrown across the night sky. The cool breeze moving though the room caused the sleeping form in the queen sized bed to snuggle down into the warm blankets. Framed pictures of smiling faces were covering the walls along with several framed sketches of the same people in the photos. A couple of paintings hung near a group of pages from a child's color book all depicting teddy bears, fairies, and a princess or two. All were colored with bright swirls and cute little mistakes. The bedroom was small but neat other than the large pile of clean clothes spilling from the white laundry basket near the oak door. The walls were painted to look like the sky at twilight with a few stars painted here and there. An Indian dream catcher hung from above the second window in the room. A matching maple dresser and desk stood up against one wall. On the desk sat a laptop near a large stack of novels and old school books. A digital alarm clock sat on a night stand next to the bed. Its bright green glow cast a pale light across the sleeping woman in the bed. At exactly 12:00 the numbers flicked and faded from the surface of the clock. The wind suddenly froze leaving the curtains in mid air hanging at an odd angle. The young woman flopped onto her back, her subconscious sensing something amiss around her. A warm pinkish glow filled her room as a woman appeared in front of the window. She dusted off her shoulders and moved to look around the room. A smile graced her glossy pink lips as she looked over the pictures on the wall. A sigh escaped her lips as she recognized some of the faces in the pictures. Truth be told it was more the hearts she recognized for she'd touched and thereby helped a few of the people photographed. Turning her attention to the young woman she leaned over the bed and brushed a blonde lock from the girls face.
"You have been searching so long Young One." She whispered softly. "One destiny filled with power has gone by you but now you are open to another. Your one other was always close but now it is your time to find him." Her smooth hand rested an inch above where the young woman's heart beat strongly. The pink glow faded from the room and collected at her hand. In a burst of warmth and the scent of apples the light entered the heart of the sleeping girl and within moments the pink glow wrapped around the strange woman and she was gone.
Some seconds later
In another town not far from the young woman a man slept on a bed of black satin his arm flung around the shoulder of some woman whose name he would never remember in the morning. Black pillar candles flickered from around the room and cast a somewhat warm glow. The room was nothing more than a hideout from pain. Dirt and other unpleasant things littered the floor and the room smelled of old smoke and dust.
A pink haze began to settle over everything as the same woman walked from her portal. She made her way over to the bed and settled her frown on the couple wrapped around each other. Waving her hand over the woman the pink mist wrapped around her form.
"It is not yet your time young Anita, I will be to you soon but you are not yet ready." As the pink mist thickened she whispered one last thing before the young girl was gone. "Your quest will be an easy one." With one last smile for her the strange woman waved her hand and the Anita vanished in a swirl of cinnamon scented air. Turning her attention to the man she walked over to his still sleeping form.
"You on the other hand have quit a quest ahead of you." Waving her hand the candles in the room were extinguished. "Now you are ready for your love but you must move slow and steady. She is a fear ridden girl, I have done what can be done but it is up to you to do the rest." With that she held her hand an inch from his forehead. The glow again gathered at her hand before she sent it into his head where from there it flowed to his heart.
"Good luck." She whispered as the pink mist drifted over her and she was gone the next moment.
As the wind picked up outside the sleeping man rolled over and woke suddenly to find his bed empty. Shrugging it off he found himself in relief that she'd left during the night. Rolling back over he drifted off to sleep.
