– So we make people’s wishes come true, right? – asked she looking through the window.
– Not exactly. We help them to reach their dreams. – told he sitting next to her.
– Ah, okay. I see now. – said she touching his hand slowly.
He looked at her with deep eyes of philosopher and dreamer.
‘I remember you such a little girl. Innocent child of light.. Forgive me that I turned you into a beast.. I had no choice. You were meant to be.. You are the one.’
‘But why? What is so special about me? Why me?’
‘You will get to know soon.. very soon.’
Their thought connection became stronger day by day. She couldn’t control that anymore and she could hear every his thought. It was so strange and unusual but his emotions and thoughts made her comfort.
