Part 1. Among people
Chapter 5. Henry's Epiphany

Оглавление

A week after the incident with rosemary, Henry returned from London. We ran out to meet him. How nice it was to see the joy in his eyes. It was not only the joy of returning to his family after an absence, it was the joy of understanding what had been eluding him all this time.

– I remember everything, I understand! – the doctor's first words as he approached the house.

He told how he met his classmates and a professor in the city. How they spent their time, but this was only a prelude to the main news.

"Sivana, I'm your real father," Dr. Reindir said when Pauline and Mary left to wash the dishes after dinner and we were left alone at the table.

– How is this possible? I was surprised.

– I got to London a little more than thirty years ago, I didn't remember how you did, how I got there and what happened before that. I was 26 years old at the time. The professor studied me for a long time, made samples, studied my blood. It's the same as yours, I've already told you that. We have been at a loss for many years, looking for a solution. Therefore, only, I seemed to the professor an unusual case. He took me to the university for his course without any preliminary exams and interviews with the dean. The professor saw something more in me, he saw a mystery that needed to be solved, " Henry grinned, not without a certain amount of self-satisfaction and understanding of his exclusivity.

– And what happened next? – I was very interested.

– Imagine, Sam, my classmate, now a hypnotherapist. One evening, when we were getting together, someone suggested that he put each of us into a hypnotic trance. As a joke, of course. Sam started with me, because, in their opinion, I am the dark horse with the secrets of the past. Sivana, baby, I remember everything! his eyes were shining with warmth and joy.

– What is it? – I couldn't wait to find out his secret.

And Henry told his secret. He remembered my mother's voice, remembered how she read the plot and asked me to prepare everything for my safety in the human world. He remembered that he was a hunter and an explorer, he was at home with them. He remembered that he had appeared here when he rubbed rosemary in his palms to the words of my mother and there was a certain quantum leap. That's how he got here. Moving through space damaged his memory, but it didn't change his purpose. He said that all the time he thought that he had to protect the girl. Not knowing which one, but remembering their purpose in this world to be the protector of a child, a girl.

– My blood and yours, too, daughter, has the property of mutation. Its composition changes, adapts to the space in which you are. Your appearance, your essence remain the same, your age flows like the people here. We are like them, but we are something else. We are from another space, " Henry's revelation became an epiphany for me as well.

Memory like a heavy downpour covered me. The memories that had lost their power before all came back to me. I am Sivana, the daughter of a hunter and a witch.

I remembered my mother, brother, friends, our lake life and the werewolf who came every autumn for children from our clan. I remembered all the pain and joy of my people…Only it remains a mystery why they are trying to save me so much by transporting me to the world of people?
