Guarded Wish
Addison CarmichaelCould I ever believe in the impossible again? Maybe it was just time for me to finally grow
up and put away childish things, which included Peter.
At my continued silence, he exhaled heavily. “Fair enough, I suppose. Then I need to take
you someplace in case I can never break through again and our connection is severed forever.
Will you let me take you there?”
Of course, I answer. I would go to the ends of the world and back with him, as we did many
times in my dreams throughout the years. Those were the most exciting adventures we shared.
He slides his arms around my waist and holds me tightly against his hard body. We fit
together perfectly, two puzzle pieces locking into place. The feel of him folding against me at
every angle is hot and delicious. I could stay there in his arms all night.
He whispers in my ear, “Then close your eyes, beautiful girl. And whatever you do—don’t
look, and don’t let go!”
To make sure I don’t peek, he bends down and gives me such a deep, mind-blowing kiss that
opening my eyes is impossible. An icy rush of wind swirls around us, while every inch of my
body sparks with aching need. I would gladly continue kissing him several more minutes, hours,
but as usual he breaks apart first with a husky chuckle.
“Okay, Andeleal,” he says, tracing my jaw with the tips of his fingers. “Open them.”
I clear my throat and blink hard, trying to regain my wobbly bearings. When I’m steady and
everything comes more into focus, I see that we aren’t outside my bedroom at midnight, but on
the glittering golden sand of a coastline at dawn.
I survey our weird surroundings. It’s like nothing anyone could have imagined—trees of the
oddest shapes and foliage, bizarre wildflowers in colorful patches everywhere, distant mountains
capped with pale blue-white snow. But it’s the rock formations on the nearby grassy hill that
grabs and holds my attention.
No, not rocks, I finally make out—ruins. Cracked crystal and white pearlesque beams that
refract the morning light in streams of brilliant rainbows. Enormous broken walls with aged
carvings slowly being claimed by moss and vines. It went up the hill for at least a quarter mile.
Whatever it once was must have been enormous and fiercely grand.
“Where are we?” I ask with amazement.
“Your real home, Andeleal,” Peter says, grasping both of my hands in his. “And someday,
somehow you will save it.”
“Me? No, I can’t do anything,” I say.2He grips my fingers harder. “You can. It’s been prophesied. He was never worried before,
never believed the ancient stories. Not until he discovered your existence. Now he fears you’ll
come and break his hold on our world and destroy him, so he’s determined to find and kill you
first.”
“What? Who?” I ask.
“Our spy says that he might have even discovered a way to punch through the veil to get to
your world, so you must find a way to pull me through first. Only then can I protect you.”
I’m furious at the taunt. He knows I want him to truly exist. I would’ve done everything to
make him real, to help him cross any barriers between us so that we could finally be together
forever.
But then I always wake up. Alone.
Peter shakes his head as if reading my thoughts. “I know I failed you once, but I swear on
my life I will not again. If only you can find a way to believe in me again, I know you can pull
me through. You’re older now, Andeleal. Stronger. I know you possess the Gift.”
Tears well, sting. I want to believe in him again, so much. I just didn’t know if I still had it
in me to take that gigantic leap of faith.
His image begins to fade, making my stomach drop. No! He can’t go! He can’t! Somehow
I sensed this is the very last time I would ever see him again. That he would forever fade away
into all those lost childhood dreams we all lose when we finally grow up.
I have to find a way to stop him from leaving! I have to find a way…
His fingers on my jaw feel as thin as mist. “Believe in me again, Andeleal. Bring me over.
You have to find a way…”
