Meditation

“Breathe—” I instructed.

I was sitting on the floor of the Gallagers’ library, crosslegged and surrounded by hundreds of books. Chris was sitting across the room, near the window. He looked slightly uncomfortable.

“Why again do we have to do this on the floor?” Chris asked with a crease in his forehead.

“Liz said it is the best way.” I shrugged and took a deep breath myself.

Chris’ shoulders were tense. I didn’t need to be able to read his emotions to know he’d rather be anywhere but here.

“Come on, Chris,” I encouraged him. “You can do this.”

The talk with Liz had given me new hope that Chris would get his wings back. We had sat in the library for a long time after closing hours. She had seen a lot. Her knowledge was vast and she had been very willing to help.

I had talked to Jaden about it more. The secret organization Liz was part of, The Guard, was a collective of humans who were believers and had been passing on the knowledge about angels and demons from generation to generation. Lucas had inherited the book without title from one of them. He had reached out to Liz after I had told him an angel needed help.

“So what exactly did she say I should do?” Chris sighed.

“Breathe deeply several times to calm your pulse,” I instructed again.

Chris inhaled deeply. I watched his chest rise and fall.

“Close your eyes,” I closed my own eyes with Chris. A little break from the outside world would do both of us good.

“Then, focus on your fingertips.” I felt my blood pulsing under my skin lightly. It was still a fast pulse. Nothing like the slow heart rate Liz had spoken of.

I blinked quickly to check if Chris was still with me. He was. His shape remained motionless except for the slow movement of his chest. He looked almost peaceful.

“Guide your attention up into your palms,” I said, and felt my hands lay heavy on my knees. “Up to your forearms, your elbows...”

While I was describing the path we were routing our attention, my thoughts were wandering off.

I saw Adam before my inner eye. His eyes were looking directly at me; like he was trying to burn me with his gaze. He was standing in a cloud of light which slowly vanished into him as if he was a dark void.

It hurt for a second and I blinked my eyes open.

Chris was kneeling beside me, his hands on my shoulders.

“Are you alright, Claire?” he asked with a worried expression on his face.

I nodded, ignoring the memory of the pain and the image which had caused it.

“What happened? You were in pain...”

I took a deep breath.

“I thought of—him,” I explained, avoiding speaking his name.

Chris sat down on his legs and measured my expression for a minute.

I was back to focusing on my pulse. It was getting slower with every breath.

“Shall we continue?” I asked and saw him get into position next to me.

“Go,” he said.

Once more, I guided our attention through our bodies until we reached the heart.
