Jesse's POV
Though it wasn't the Slater from the fire. I can't ever forget a face.
Especially one that haunted me since Susannah first came in my life. As soon as I had the other buggy hitched up, we all departed to the barn on the de Silva ranch. I wanted the questions answered then and there, but I figured we needed to be in private for this.
I was the one driving the buggy, and I could feel Susanna's glares towards me. I didn't want to face her. I had lied to the woman I loved and I couldn't think of another shame to bare. The boy Jack looked like the one from the fire. He didn't talk much. And I didn't think he would either, so I kept quiet too.
10 long minutes later.
We got off the buggy and went to the hayloft. I sort of hoped that it might bring back some of her memories. Part of me wanted her to go back, the other part didn't. It would kill me to see her go.
"Lets Begin." Jack said.
"First of all. How do you know Susannah?" I asked bluntly. I wanted to make sure he wasn't a bad guy trying to kidnap her.
"She used to baby sit me. My brother Paul is a friend of hers."
"Is? As in still is? How come I don't know him. Or you." Susannah asked next.
"I was gonna ask that exact question Suze." Jack answered.
I answered in place of their question.
"She was fine when we jumped. The fall from the barn knocked her unconscious and that was the last time she knew who she was."
I was pacing back and forth. I was worried that this wouldn't go as good as I wanted it to go.
"so what are you guys saying. I mean…I'm not following this at all." Susannah looked at Jack and then me.
"Suze. You have been missing for two days. The year is 1850. You were born in the 20th century . This is the 18th. You are a mediator/shifter. You can see ghost (AN:okay I know I haven't put any ghost in here but don't worry) and speak to them. You have to come back with me."
"Ghost? That's impossible. How could I be from the future. How bizarre is that?" She replied looking at Jack alarmingly. I hadn't known the ghost part, but it explained some of her odd behavior at night.
"Look at the word you used. 'bizarre'" He put his right hand and left hand up and wiggled his pointer and middle finger. (come one people.. We are talking the fingers Dr. evil uses when he mentions lasers. "Jesse, have you ever used the word 'bizarre'?" he left the word without the fingers this time.
I shook my head. "never heard it before"
". What about your hair. How do you feel that you haven't been given its rightful products?"
" I think its shameful. It needs a good washing. I want my Herbal Essence. The leave in conditioner." She shut her mouth with both her hands as if she barely heard what she had spoken.
"Oh my Gosh."
"Does he look familiar?" he showed her a picture that he brought out of from the leather in his pocket.
"Paul." She traced the picture with her finger. "Jack. I remember now." She shut her eyes.
While she rejoiced in her recovered memory. The only question I pondered was what the hell was leave in conditioner?
Please forgive me!
