Chapter 486 - Sophia is on a roll (1/2)
~ Hill family villa ~
Next morning, after breakfast, Sarah called Stella for a chat in private.
Sarah wanted to ask Stella about the technique that Stella taught her earlier which will allow Sarah to sense danger. Sarah wonders if that is related to her experiencing an unpleasant feeling when she met a man with number 71. But Sarah is cautious not to disclose too much because she knows that if her mom finds out that it might be something related to those Eastern European families, she will not like it. Not only that, but Stella might even give her incomplete or false information, just to keep Sarah away from that.
Sarah was confident that she has her questions figured out just right, so that she gets the information she needs without revealing too much.
”Mom, I have some questions. It's related to the methods for sensing danger you taught me a while back.”
”Are you practicing?”, Stella was pleasantly surprised that Sarah is asking about techniques she taught her.
”Yes. Regularly. I wanted to confirm… how do I know that it's working?”
”Think about it as if you can sense someone's presence, especially if there are intense feelings directed toward you. The more you practice the more refined it will be, and you will learn to differentiate between types of feelings such as anger, malice, maybe even love. I know a person who is an expert, and he says that he can without mistake differentiate between people because everyone has a different vibe.”
”Are you are saying that I can differentiate between people?”
Stella gave a comforting smile, ”Not now, that is something that requires a lot of practice… but someday, yes. You are a very fast learner, I'm sure that if you are diligent, you will see results soon.”
”Is it possible that more than one person gives the exact same feeling?”
”No. But only experts are capable of making this distinction. Some people can give you a similar feeling, and with your inexperience you might not be able to tell the difference. At least not at this time. Practice, and you can reach that proficiency as well.”
Stella observed Sarah and saw that she is in thoughts, recollecting something. ”How about you tell me why are you asking me this? What is with sudden interest?”
Sarah wanted to avoid this, but at the same time she knew that Stella will get her suspicions. Sarah needs to say something, so that her mom does not launch full-blown investigation. ”I saw a man, during our conference in Las Vegas. And he gave me an eerie feeling. I felt the same feeling more than once. Once I felt it, I'm almost certain that was it, but I could not see anyone… and at that time I also thought how the sensation was not unfamiliar. It was similar to unpleasant feeling I got from my neighbor King in Fairfield.”
Stella listened to Sarah attentively, and at the end she frowned. ”Who in Fairfield?”
”King. I don't know his name. Just King. He is my neighbor across the hall from the apartment you gave me for Christmas…” Sarah saw that Stella's frown deepened. ”Is everything OK?”
Stella snapped out of her thoughts and smiled. ”Yes, yes. Keep practicing and you will be more proficient… While we are on the topic of Fairfield, when do you plan to go back there?”
Sarah shrugged, ”I don't know… but we will be here at least until Sophia's wedding.”
Two of them chatted a bit more before Sarah left.
As soon as Sarah left, Stella got her phone and called her brother. ”Oleg… we need to talk… Yes, it's urgent. Did I ever call you and it was not urgent? When can we meet? …”
…
At lunch, Sarah shared with Stella and Edward that Aiden and she plan to go to Sophia's house for few hours, and then they will return to Cabin. She also mentioned that they will pick up the car Aiden left at the hospital on the way. Edward gave them several warnings not to race because it's not safe. Sarah laughed.
”While on the topic of cars and racing… I got a call from Skipper. It seems two new vehicles arrived.”, Edward looked at Sarah waiting for an explanation.
Skipper is a mechanic who is maintaining vehicles on their property in New Mexico. That is the property where Edward made a racetrack similar to Daytona Speedway. After cars passed checkup, they were sent to that property.
