Past Lives.
We went to a fortuneteller just for fun you know. Just to see if she could tell us about our future or something like that. Well she said she could tell us about our past lives. I said what the hay. See what this fortuneteller could tell us at least about Zee. She shouldn't be able to tell anything about him. Right?
"Oh well let me see. How far back do you want to go?"
"As far back as you can go please." Zee seemed interested to see if she could find anything human about him.
"Well let's see I can find things on you as far back as I can go on you young man. Let me look in my crystal ball a friend of yours in one of your past lives is guiding me to the beginning of your soul. Both you and your soulmate had to prove yourselves to a higher person in court in the after life. You have been spirits many times watching over your soul mate till she returned to you side." I saw a young man with piercing blue eyes, and a serious composure. He looked like a kind and gentle giant watching a girl in the old medieval village within the castle. He rested a minute wiping the sweat off his brow watching the girl. She had brown hair tied up in a ponytail. Her teacher was teaching her how to use a sword. Which seemed strangely odd since many woman in the courts or even peasants didn't ever pick up a sword.
"Let's see oh your first life I can find you lived in the medieval times. Your name was Garret and you were a stableboy as a child. Your mother and father had great hopes of you becoming a night. When you where a teen you became blind trying to save a girl along with the horses from a burning stable. She didn't die because you saved her but you became blind when a horse hit you in the eye. The girl was gratefully in your debt. She helped you through your blindness along with her father. She taught you to see without using your eyes but you're other senses." The girl a little older handed him a stick and taught her to use it to see. It was much like how people with blindness today. Maybe some of the old ways were still used I just couldn't tell.
"Teaching you things you never knew before. She knew many proverbs that she used to cheer you up. You usually smiled for her but when you died from one of the many diseases you never got to tell her something.
"Can you see any past lives of me?" I still wasn't convinced that she could see our past lives or even if they existed.
"Hmm it seems foggy but lets see if I can find anything. Oh here's one. You were a Spanish dancer named Rosa." I saw a beautiful woman that was only a few years older than me. She had a silky practically see through dress that was blowing in the wind.
"You moved all over the country of Mexico, Canada and US. Till you met a man named Andy. He was a serious man but also kind and gentle. He was also a very clever fellow who just got out of prison because he was innocent. He spent twenty years of his life wrongfully in prison." Zee, I wonder how many years he had been assassinating people. Perhaps I could ask him.
"He looked like a cold, hard man who was very wise from his time in prison. But he was very kind and gentle if he needed to be. Andy saw you dancing in the street. He didn't bother to notice you till a man grabbed you and started to harass you. You screamed for help, he was about to walk away but he remembered his former wife he was accused of killing. The man had a gun pointed at your head. He almost shot you but this Andy stopped him by knocking him out with a bottle." This sounded like when I first met Zee.
"You fell instantly in love. Soon you both grew close friends and you stayed with him for a year before the both of you fell in love. You and Andy lived together for many years together. You told him in the afterlife that you would one day meet up with him again."
The gun scene seemed a lot like when I first met Zee. Zee seemed to notice as well. "Can you show me any other of my past lives?"
"Yes let's see this is the closest one to present. You where a traveler. You met a girl at a lake. You said she was the most beautiful girl you ever met. She was very pretty. She had blonde hair and blue eyes that were calm and gentle. She lived in the US as you did. Both moved around a lot and where very lonely." Zee's soulmate moved around a lot I wonder why?
"Soon you got to know each other. You cared for her like no other did. Protecting her from any danger till one night she was kidnapped from him. You were heartbroken and soon died from depression. The girl was killed a day after you died."
"Ah I see why the young lady's past lives where so blurry."
"Why is that?" Zee seemed anxious to find out why. He seemed very interested in the stories she told.
"She was in each one of yours. You two seemed to be soul mates." How could that even be possible? Zee was a robot. One I was wishing human but still he wasn't human and even all the wishing in the world could change it. But he did seem as close to human as humanly possible. Could he have a soul? Is that why he is so different? The fortuneteller told me more about my life from these past lives.
"Also there is one more lifetime for him. He was a young child before he died. He was three years older than you were though. You where barely twelve when he died. He broke her heart and this is the reason for much bitterness in you soul young lady." I'm so sure she knows me like a book now too. Well it seemed to be correct just a lucky guess but those lucky guesses would have to run out wouldn't they?
"It seems that you young lady have always been afraid of being alone because through out the many lives you've lived you have been alone. Always searching for that someone whom would stay by your side forever. Sometimes you find him earlier than other times. Sometimes you've met him before but don't recognize him till much later. Also you have a serious fear of death. Death has plagued many loved ones and you don't want to end up like them."
"Please no more I've heard enough." The fortuneteller stopped. I thought this was going to be just for fun but it seemed to be getting to seriously accurate.
"Yes, you young man, have a value of life. But you don't seem to recognize it's full worth till you meet your soul mate. You see how much pain she's been in that has followed her like a curse throughout the many lives she has lived." I really wished she would stop talking about me.
"You want to ease it or make it stop. You have a great deal of worry over her safety and well being. But she is stubborn and a rebel. But she is gentle and caring at times as you are at times." I started to worry as Zee grinned at me.
"Thanks here." Zee used his cred card and left with me. We walked around the streets a little more. We where in a fun town today, New Orleans, Louisiana. A city of bright colorful parties and houses of blues.
One I was hoping to enjoy but that fortuneteller's accurate was right on the money. We watched as some people acted out as entertainers in the street. Zee seemed surprised by their talents like singing, dancing, juggling, magic acts it was fun to watch.
We made it back up to the hotel room we had for the night. Zee sat down on the bed. He asked if I had fun today. "Why still updating your data files Zee?"
He smiled. "No you just looked a little pale after leaving the fortune teller place." He hit the button. I slipped my shoes off and the coat I was wearing.
"I well did you see how similar the past lives she described are to what we've done before? And our personality?"
"Well maybe there is such thing as coming back from the dead. I just don't know what to believe Ro. Anyway wasn't it just for fun?"
"I thought so at first but it seems like history repeats itself like the saying says."
"Well either way Ro I still don't think you should take it that seriously."
"And why not?" I retorted back yelling at him. Zee backed away after she yelled. He seemed to think about it for a minute before answering as I waited impatiently.
"I well I don't have an answer for that." I flopped back on the bed. I was way too tired to be thinking so much. I soon felt comfort in the darkness. I was fast asleep. I felt a little bad for yelling at Zee like that. I would apologize later hopefully. I hoped he wouldn't run out on me.
