It was done. I had made
my choice and decided to trust Father Michael and my new Caretaker, whom I
barely knew. But even with all the uncertainty, I felt calm and at peace. This
was the way life was supposed to feel, natural, normal. Not living in fear with
every breath I took.
“This bond cannot be
broken. You have made a vow to each other that is yours to keep, and yours to
keep alone. Do not waver or forget this moment, it will save you in the end.”
With those words, the Father kissed my forehead. “I shall miss you greatly as
well, my child.”
I was crying. I couldn't remember when the tears began to flow or for what reason, there were so many at
the moment, but I knew that my life was taking a drastic turn. For better or
worse I didn't know, but it was going to change. The fear I had felt for the
last couple of years had faded away. The only thing left was adrenaline and the
thought of the unknown.
