power.  That doesn’t mean the power is good or evil.  It is that way in order to keep balance.  Today you will receive powers from three Queens.”  She said.   On either side of her, two more Queens appeared.
    I was introduced to them one by one. The first one was the Fire Queen.  She possessed the same beauty as all the others, but something made her different at the same time.  Her hair and gown was as red as blood.  I was breathless looking at her, but I could feel the power coming from her.  It was more than intense. It was consuming.
    The other one was Water Queen. She was absolutely exuberant.  Her hair and gown was as blue as the ocean water.  I felt meek and unworthy in their presence. Never had I had the opportunity to be in the presence of such beauty.
    I closed my eyes and imagined them all four together.  I imagined the most beautiful of places.  I realized I could see their power in everything.  I could see it in the sky and the ground.  It was everywhere. In everything.
    I felt a sudden surge of power within my body.  I knew right then I had been given more powers.  The feeling was electrifying and it demanded compliance from every single cell in my body.   The power twisted and turned inside me, leaving every one of my senses with more power than normal.  Even my skin felt different.  This power was immeasurable and greater than I could have ever imagined and I hadn't even explored what I was truly capable of yet.
    I opened my eyes and said, “Thank You.”  That was the only intelligent words I could muster up at the time. 
    “Use your gifts wisely, Princess.”  They said as they slowly disappeared.
    I awakened, still lying on my bed.  I could still feel the power surging through my body.  My phone rang and the sound of it at that moment was almost annoying.  I looked at the caller id and it was Eric calling, again.  I answered the phone nicely leaving out the-not-now-attitude.  
    “Eric?”  I said into the phone.
    “Bailey, are you alright?” He asked almost in a panic.
    “Yeah, I’m fine Eric.  Why?”  
    “I saw you fall and you didn’t get up.  I tried to call you, but you wouldn’t answer the phone either.  I was so sure you were hurt.  Are you sure you are ok?” 
    “I’m ok Eric, just calm down.  I must have just fainted or something.”  I replied trying to calm him.  I didn’t understand the amount of panic in his voice.  He was genuinely concerned about my well-being. “Were you watching me?”
    “Yes. Well… no. I…”  He stammered. “Well, I’m coming over.” He said and before I could say anything, he had hung up the phone.  I jumped up and looked out the window only to see him dart across his lawn and into mine.  I was amazed at the speed that he was running.  He was extremely fast. 
    I made it to my bedroom door as he rushed through the front door of my house.  He met me at the top of the stairs and pulled me into a tight hug.  It felt awkward but amazing at the same time.  His body felt so good against mine and I didn’t want him to let me go.  I was comforted by the strength of his embrace.  All my imagining about his arms around me was being put to rest. 
    He pulled back away from me unexpectedly.  He had a look on his face like he had seen a ghost.  The look was enough to alert me that something was terribly wrong and it left me almost too frightened to ask him why, but I did.  I couldn’t help myself.  I had to know.
    “What is it Eric?”                
    He just stood there staring at me.  The shocked look he had was starting to make more than a little uneasy.  He looked at me like he was searching for something.  Something that was wrong.
    “Eric. What's wrong?”  I demanded. 
    After a moment he finally answered me. “Nothing is wrong, I’m just so glad you’re ok.  You gave me quite a scare.” Eric replied dryly and I knew right then that he was hiding the real answer from
