Chapter 8: "Animal Instincts"

Jesse's POV:

I followed her all the way to what I supposed was his house. I passed through the door and made my way around looking for her. I found Susannah in rather odd clothes for her holding Paul's hand. I clenched my fists at this sight and held back my anger. He was reading something rather odd, Egyptian I recall. I didn't care at the moment. I grabbed Susannah's other hand and tried to pull her away, but a bright light pulled us forward.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying flat on the ground. I looked around and found this place very familiar. What happened? Where am I? Where is Susannah? I turned around and saw a small pond. A horse was drinking from it and beside the horse was a young man. This seemed so familiar to me. When he turned around I realized the young man was me, alive. How? Is this some sort of memory I am reliving? Am I in the past? My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of horses. They sensed my presence and started to gallop faster. They soon became out of control. They were heading faster and faster down the road. I looked down the road and saw Susannah standing there, not moving. I tried to materialize over to her, but I couldn't. Then just as the carriage was about to strike her, someone pushed her out of the way. I started running towards her but something grabbed my shoulder quite forcefully and spun me around.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Paul's POV

Ok it was my first time ever to attempt to time travel. Not such a graceful landing but at least I am still in one piece. I pushed myself off the ground and saw someone I wasn't expecting. I was expecting a beautiful girl in a green dress, not her stupid cowboy's ghost. Somehow he had followed us into the portal. Why must he always get in the way! I will make him pay. I saw him get ready to run towards something and I grabbed his shoulder. I turned him around.

"Where do you think you're going?" I was angry and my voice showed it.

"What are you doing with Susannah? I thought I told you to stay away!" Jesse moved from under my grip and shoved me. He was murderous at the sight of my face. I liked that he despised me, because I was just going to use it against him.

"If you haven't noticed, De Silvia, she is the one who called me. Isn't it obvious? She chose me and not you. What future does she have with you anyway? Suze couldn't stand to see you anymore, so she came to me, with tears in her eyes. We came here, to the past, to stop your death. That way Suze would have a life free from any memory of you! By the way, I bet you are wondering why you can't materialize anywhere. Technically, you aren't dead yet." I was yelling and could tell I was getting to him.

"That isn't true!" And with that he grabbed my neck. I grabbed his and we fell down rolling towards a pond. Not wanting a reoccurrence of the party, I used my power of persuasion. All the anger he was feeling towards me was making him weak and easier to be controlled.

"Stop. Get up and don't move." He did exactly what I said. I got up and brushed off the dirt. That's better. I wasn't planning on De Silvia being here, but now that he is he might come in handy later. "Follow me and keep your mouth shut." I looked around to see if I could find Suze. She must have gone into town, so I headed down the road, Jesse following behind.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Past Jesse's POV:

I am doing the right thing. I kept telling myself that as I was headed down to Carmel, California. My wedding would be in less than a week, but I couldn't go through with it. I snuck out my window before dawn and got on my horse. I had to tell Maria in person that it was over. I had tried to in letters, but she wasn't responding. I know it is wrong to disobey my father, but I was also taught it is wrong to disobey your heart. I had to tell her before it became too late.

I stopped by a pond to refresh my horse, before entering the town. I turned around and saw a faint glow. Oh please not now. That is the last thing I need, another ghost. I brushed it off and looked down the road. I saw a beautiful girl standing in the road. I then heard the fast gallop of horses. She wasn't moving from her spot. Just as the horses were coming to her I pushed her out of the way. We landed in a grassy ditch. I moved off of her and on to the side.

"Miss, Miss, are you all right? Can you hear me?" Her eyes fluttered and then she blacked out. I picked her up off the ground and called my horse. I placed her on the saddle and climbed on. I held her tightly making sure she didn't fall off while I directed the horse towards the town.

I arrived at the boarding house and checked in. I gently placed the girl on the bed and went to get a cool cloth for her head. When I returned I saw her eyes start to open. She looked around the room and then up at me.

"Jesse?"
