Next excerpt of "Whispers in the Woods": 💨👀ðŸŒ
“How do I
know you are who you say you are?” Emma questioned Aura. Silently Aura reached
into a pack at her side and pulled out an envelope. “The picture was taken the
day you were born – your family: you and your parents and myself”.
Emma
pulled the contents from the envelope. The mentioned picture showed a small
baby, held by a woman who could have been Emma’s twin! A handsome man sat next
to her and a young Aura stood behind the couple. The date on the picture was
October 31, 1993…and the name was Emma Sidney Hallowmas. She’d never known her
full name or her actual birthdate. Celebrating in October had just always been
her tradition, but now she knew for sure. And she definitely needed more than
coffee!
Tearful and
hands shaking, she looked at the woman, her aunt. “Why now? How did you know
where to find me? And why are you here, in the woods behind my house?!”
Banjo left
Aura and came to comfort Emma, licking her face and pawing her shaking hands.
Aura
hesitated before responding, “It’s time. Once we’re able to talk openly, I
think things will become, uhm, a little more clear”.
A strong breeze
blew through the woods and heavy clouds darkened the sky overhead, threatening
another stormy night.
Aura
continued in a low voice, “This really isn’t the time or place”.
Not knowing
what she might discover, but remembering the picture she held tightly in her
still shaking hands, Emma took a chance and invited Aura, and the talking
raven, back with her and Banjo.
“You’re
welcome to spend the night out of the weather”.
Aura accepted calmly, “That would be appreciated”.
