Under Her Spell

Ch. 1

Whoever it was that coined the phrase, "Thank God, it's Friday," couldn't have it more right if they tried. It had been a hell of a week. Between the endless amount of work that seemed to pile up faster than sand falling through an hour glass, new family drama, and the fact that I felt like a warm pile of horse manure all week, I was now at my breaking point. All I wanted was to get off this ridiculously large college campus and get back to my mom's house so that I could rest. No distractions, no drama, no nothing. Just me and my pillow, renewing our long lost friendship.

I made my way out of the Communications building, weaving through the vast amounts of human traffic that seemed to converge on this one particular path to the parking lot. I felt a wave of desperation; suddenly, I wanted nothing more than to be in my little Saturn, tearing down the 408. The path wound around a large fountain, which all on campus affectionately called the Peace Pond. As soon as I began to curve around the pond, I felt myself scuttle closer and closer to the edge.

Suddenly, I felt it. A wave of déjà-vu coursed through my body like adrenaline, and at that very moment, my body, my mind felt like it had been put on replay. In my attempt to escape the horde of people, I had gotten to the very edge of the narrow path and without realizing it I had tried to scuttle again. Then, it happened, almost in slow motion. I lost my footing, and began free falling right into the outer rim of the Peace Pond, landing a few precarious inches away from the water's edge. The actions didn't feel natural at all…at best, they felt pre-programmed, and I suddenly knew that I'd seen this moment before.

Normal people might shake that off. Some people might even go so far as to laugh about it and go back to their usual order of business, not even caring. But I was definitely not normal. Or so I felt. After all, this whole déjà vu thing had been happening to me all week long. Sometimes, I would wake up, swearing I hadn't been sleeping at all—the dreams were so vivid! Then, BAM! A few hours, if not minutes later, that wave would hit.

"Hey. Hey! Miss! Can you hear me?" said a voice right above my head, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Uh…what?" What an intellectual response, Evie. Epic fail.

"Are you ok?" the voice asked again. I managed to sit myself up so that I was looking at the source of the voice, a tall guy with golden blonde hair and the most piercing grey eyes I'd ever seen in my life. He was a little built, and currently, his eyebrows were furrowed in concern.

"Uh…yeah. Yeah, I'm fine," I say, trying to pick myself up. Seeing my struggle, the stranger grabs my arm and with one swift heave, I'm back on my feet. "Thanks for that…uh…sir." He chuckles, realizing he hasn't introduced himself.

"My name's Vince. Vince Meloni. And you are?" he said, extending his hand to me.

"Evelyn. Evelyn Hazel. But most everybody calls me Evie," I said, feeling just the tiniest bit nervous, although at the moment, I couldn't quite figure if it was the good kind of nervous or the bad kind.

"Well, it's good to meet you, Evie. Albeit, I wish it had been under somewhat different circumstances." He let out a slight chuckle, and I couldn't help but join him. He had a charm that made you feel really at ease with him. After a moment or two, I glanced down at my watch.

"So, I think I'm gonna go ahead and go. I've gotta get back home," I said with a slight shrug.

"You sure you're okay? You don't need to go to a doctor? I'd be happy to take you," he said, concern lacing his voice.

"I'm good, really. Thanks for everything, Vince. I appreciate it."

"Not a problem," he said, with a dismissing wave of his hand. "Maybe I'll see you around sometime," he said, the last part coming out more like a question than an actual statement.

At this, I couldn't help but smile. "Maybe. Who knows what the future holds?" I gave him a little wave as I turned and walked toward the parking lot, to the beloved vehicle Once again, though, I felt an odd sensation, and as I looked over my shoulder, I could see Vince burning holes into my back.
