:: Destined Connections :: [The Life of a Psychic]

After the cab dropped Gemini off at the train station, she called Tessa to see if she could learn more about what was going on. Tessa was still a mess and couldn’t stop crying.

Gemini sighed to herself thinking this was going to be a lonnnnnggggg day.

“Tessa, honey, please try to stop crying so you can at least tell me where you are so I know which train to take”

After a few more hiccups and sniffles, Tessa was finally able to tell her that she was at the No-Tell Motel in Evergreen Harbor.

“Ok Tessa, I’m coming! I’m still in San Myshuno, about 3 hours away from you by train. You going to be okay until I get there?”

Tessa sniffled again but assured Gemini that she would be okay and that she would not do anything stupid.



Taking a deep breath and blowing it out, Gemini bought a ticket to Evergreen Harbor.

Once she was finally settled in for the long ride, she looked up the address for the motel and put it in her GPS. She was hoping it was not too far from the E-Har Train Station because she was extremely low on funds and couldn’t really afford to take a cab or uber to the motel.

Glancing down at her high-heeled boots, she let out a string of curse words berating herself for her hasty rush. Why oh why, didn’t she think ahead before getting dressed in such a hurry?!! Nope, not her! She’s always been the impulsive one to “act now and think later”. Shaking her head and sighing once again she thought to herself “These boots aren’t made for walking, but that’s just what they’re gonna do”.

Gemini arrived in Evergreen Harbor about 9:30 AM.

Heaving her overnight bag over her shoulder, she got off the train looked around. Ewwww! Gross! What a scummy area it was. Thankfully the motel was less than a mile away.

But, the closer she got to the motel, the trashier the area became.

Block after block of nothing but rundown houses piled high with trash and broken objects. Trash and debris blowing on the streets, and she thought she spotted a homeless person sleeping under a a piece of cardboard beneath the overpass.

As Gemini rounded the corner, she got her first look at the motel and wrinkled her nose and thought to herself “What in the world is Tessa doing at such a seedy place?”

Even though it was still early in the morning, she could already spot some unsavory people hanging around on the street corners. Drug dealers? Escorts? Who knew, but one thing for sure, she knew they needed to get out of there as quick as possible!

She walked up the outside stairs and started looking for Room 13. When she found it, she knocked softly on the door, hoping to not disturb anybody who might still be sleeping (didn’t need to cause any trouble in this part of the town, that’s for sure!)

Tessa cautiously opened the door a few minutes later and flew into Gemini’s arms, squeezing her tight. “OMG! She looks like she’s been run over by a truck!” Gemini thought to herself. Tessa’s hair was in tangles and her mascara had dried in long streaks down her cheeks. Her nose was bright red and her eyes were so puffy they were almost swollen shut.

Gemini just held her tightly and let her cry it out. It took about 15 minutes for the sobbing to finally subside enough for them to go inside the motel room.

Once they were inside and sitting on the bed, Gemini softly asked Tessa what had happened. Tessa jumped up and shook her head. Her eyes immediately filling with tears again.

After awhile, Tessa finally calmed down.

Gemini quietly asked her again “Want to tell me what happened?”

Shaking her head emphatically, Tessa almost yelled “No! I don’t wanna even think about it, let alone talk about it!”

But she still wasn’t ready to talk about what happened.

So rather than upset her again, Gemini chatted about her train ride and tried to make her laugh by describing all of the ridiculously dressed people who were on the train with her.

All of a sudden, Tessa’s phone rings. She picks it up to see who’s calling and looks back up at Gemini with a look of fear on her face. Tessa whispers “It’s him! Should I answer it?”

Since Gemini has no idea who “him” was, she blurts out the first thing that popped into her head …

“H. E. Double L ….. NO! Do NOT answer that! I have no idea who it is, but whoever it is, if they can invoke that look of fear and terror on your face ….. You’re better off without them in your life!”

She made Tessa hand her the phone and immediately shut it off and slid it in her bag.

Noticing the time, Gemini said “We need to get going. Why don’t you go take a long, hot steamy shower and get dressed? I’m going to change into some regular clothes and see if I can’t find us something to drink.”
