Adrian (Praying for Something)

I had spaced out shortly after Abe had answered the phone. I'd been praying for something. When I mean praying I mean I was really praying to whatever god was really out there. This may have been the first time I'd prayed in a while. I was praying for the hope that Abe wouldn't loose it. Although, I had faith in Sydney, but Abe was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

My heart was racing and I had no idea what else to do. My mind was spinning, Sydney, who was a the most beautiful person I'd ever meet and the only one that could make my heart race since Rose. Hey look at that I managed to think her name without it putting me into some weird state of mind. I'm getting somewhere, or is that because of the vodka? Who really knew. I knew one thing was for sure I definitely didn't like that the girl that got my heart racing could feel everything I was feeling, thinking, hearing, and most of all slip into my body without me knowing it. I think that is how Rose had put it back when she had been bonded to Lissa.

I knew my mind was everywhere all at once but I didn't know exactly how to stop if from doing that without drinking. I'm only known for my charm and drinking.

Once I finally pulled out of my thoughts I looked at Sydney causing my heart to race again. She had a glassed look in her eyes. Then if finally came to me my feelings were to strong and she slipped into my body. I didn't know how to keep my emotions in check.

I could hear Abe yelling on the other line at Sydney. I took the phone carefully out of her hand. She was still a little sore. I had done a good job at healing her even with the Vodka in my system.

"Abe, man, take a deep breath, your the one who told me to go with her to keep her safe." I told him. He was one very unpredictable man. I had no idea who raised him to be such a way. It was mind stumping.

"Adrian!" He yelled at me. "What were you thinking drinking! Are you still drunk? Didn't I tell you to stop drinking? What in the world was I thinking sending you. Maybe Sonya at least I knew she wouldn't drink. But you know I thought I was being nice and letting her plan her wedding. Showing some decency to show compassion. Then the person I send instead disobeys my one simple order that I gave him, no drinking. I really didn't think it would be that hard, Adrian." He was off on his lectures. You never wanted to disrupt him in one of those for the fact that you would get one on interrupting people that can have you killed.

"Abe, you should really loosen up a little and look I thought your main command was for me to keep Sydney alive. It's not my fault that a group of people came in and beat her to death." I told him sternly. This was very unlike me but my anger was building up inside me increasingly fast.

"I don't care I want you guys to turn around right this minute. There's a flight leaving in two hours." That was all he said before he hung up.

I began to wonder what happens if we just don't get on the plane. Maybe we could continue to live her. I'm sure it would be safer than in Montana and if we listened to Abe that's where we would end up going. I knew that she would listen to Abe and what he says. He has her live in his hands. I hated that that was the case.

I wish there was something I could do to make life safer for Sydney, but that wasn't my place. I wasn't her family or her boyfriend. I was just her body guard or at least I'm sure that's what she thought of me as. Or maybe she thought of me as the one that has over powering feelings that I can't control at all that cause her to slip into my body. I guess I had a new respect for Lissa and her expectance that Rose couldn't control what happened or when she slipped into her body. After a few years Rose had learned how to control the body. But she still had some difficulty. Although, that was now over with her. Lissa and Rose where no longer bonded, this happened right after they uncovered who had killed my Aunt Tatiana.

My Aunt Tatiana used to be the Queen of the Moiroi world, before she died, now Lissa was Queen. They were the ones that wielded one of the four elements Earth, Water, Air, or Fire. But just a few years ago we discovered Spirit. Which the one who can wield Spirits can heal, dream walk, and do a bunch of other things do. But it came with side effects. These side effects were sometime horrible; like depression that could lead to the wielders death. That is usually what happened.

I began to think about what happened if I used to much magic; I could end up dead. And for what, there wouldn't be a point in anyone trying to keep Sydney alive, no matter what. I knew I had to be careful. We were going to go back to Montana and show Abe that he had no place to try and say that I wasn't fit for this job now. Most that are bonded don't like to be apart for that long.

I had already hung up the phone, but had been to deep in thought to tell Sydney what we had to do. I looked to my side to find that she wasn't there anymore. My heart started to race. Oh no, someone followed us here and took her. How was I supposed to explain this one to Abe. I really didn't think that there was a way to explain that to Abe without getting a very, very long lecture about how irresponsible I was. But maybe she wasn't gone maybe everything was fine. At this moment I wished deeply that this bond worked both ways. I knew Lissa and Rose had sometimes wished that was possible. But I did know one thing for sure, I had to find her and quick before we missed the one flight out of here to Montana. Not many flights are to Montana from Spain.
