she felt the girl’s pain and frustration with her life. She took a couple of deep breaths, refocused, and continued sending….
     
     
    When she went into the bathroom, she shrieked, dropping the mop and dustpan. There was no glass in the corner; there was no smelly splash on the wall and floor. The bathroom was clean and only the smell of the lemony cleaner she used to clean it drifted through the room. “Okay, Mystery. Just sit down.” She slid down the wall and sat on the floor. “You are not losing it. You have had a rough couple of days.”  Mystery buried her head in her up drawn knees and decided to sit right there and wait for Seth.
    Abigail slid out of Mystery’s thoughts, hoping the vision would kindle memories of her people and impress on her the importance of stopping the Beast before he finished them all.
     
     
     
     
     
    Mystery rushed out of the supermarket, she had to get home and begin studying for her Core Theories mid-term. She needed to get a couple of loads of laundry done; both she and Seth were down to their emergency underwear. Maybe, if she hurried and put up the groceries, she could get a pot roast on. It would give them leftovers for a couple of days.
     
    She popped open her trunk and began to load the bags into it. Mystery flinched when someone’s shadow fell over the cart. Looking up, she saw the same bald man who had stopped her on the library steps.
     
    “Look, mister. I told you last time I had no idea what you were talking about and I still don’t. So why don’t you leave me alone before I scream for help.”  Mystery picked up another bag and turned to put it in the trunk.
     
    “Even after the dream, you still have no memory of your people or why you are so desperately needed. Time is short, Your Highness, or we would not push you so hard. You must remember your people!”
     
    Mystery put the last bag in the trunk and closed it. “I don’t know what you are talking about. I am no princess. I have no people, except my family. You have the wrong person.”  Mystery hurried around to the door.
    “In the dream your bed was on a rock ledge and when you looked down into the chamber below, you saw a man sacrifice a teenage girl. He smiled as he ate her heart.”  Manuel opened the car door for Mystery, and then he continued. “When you went to get a drink of water it tasted like the urine the man in the dream had sprinkled on the girl. When you looked down it was urine, so, you threw the glass against the wall. When you went back to clean up the mess, nothing was there.”
     
    “How could you know?  I didn’t even tell Seth the entire dream.” 
     
    “We disturbed your dreams because we hoped it would trigger your memory.”
     
    “I don’t want anything to do with any of it!  Stay away from me or I will involve the police!”  Mystery pulled the door out of his hand and slammed it shut. She turned the ignition, pushed the car into gear and pealed out of the parking lot.
     
    As Manuel watched her go, he knew her people could not wait for her memory to come back and there was a good chance even when it did she would still ignore her birthright.
     
     
    Mystery pulled into her driveway and tried to calm herself down. After a few cleansing breathes she got the groceries from the trunk and went inside. She took the groceries back to the kitchen and went to listen to the messages. There were several hang-ups and two messages from Seth saying he just needed to hear her voice. Mystery smiled. She didn’t know what the bald man was talking about, but Seth and her father were her only family. She shook her head and went to put up the groceries and start the roast before she hit the books. As she seasoned the roast she decided she would keep her encounters with baldy to herself.
     
    Manuel cried as he drove up the mountain leading to the aerie. They couldn’t count on the princess and without her they would surely fail to stop the Beast from destroying the Roodmasi.
