years, and I never knew it was you there with me that night. Can you forgive me?”
Sali smiled up at her. “Good, weren’t we Connie?” she whispered. “We surprised her more than we surprised each other I guess.”
The old guru smiled at last. “Connie now, is it, young madam?”
“We were one back then Connie, no secrets now. Die alone and unloved? No chance of that. I love you. I am you, and you’re me. Oh!” She paused, struggling with a sudden thought. “I gave you your powers didn’t I?”
Connie nodded and smiled. “Looks that way Sali love. I became guru that night.”
Sali sighed and turned her head to look again at the water. “I’m going with Tanya like you want. No choice really, I know that, but one day,” she licked her dry lips. “One day, Constance Nesbitt, you and me are going to rule the world.” She looked back into Connie’s eyes and a strange smile crept into the corners of her mouth. “I can see it.”
and that was the start of book 2 of
the Cycle of Life, the Sali Vorden affair,
In which Sali grows up too quickly,
Tanya takes up archery again,
and Walter goes to church,
getting married to all the women of Lakeside.
Contains some bad language, violence,
and several passages of a sexual nature.
I have tried to edit them out
but then the plot does not work.
Sorry, but the full ebook will be subject to the adult filter.
