“Charmeine Going Postal!” snippet from “MACTUS” the Second Novel in “The Light-Bearer Series”

Charmeine said, “Yes. Sandra and I were trying to find something to wear for practice tonight. I was feeling a little odd. I opened the door and went out on the Terrace for some fresh sea breeze to clear my head. Sandra was in the bathroom changing.
That is when the man, Pascal, appeared. The alarms went off as soon as he revealed himself to me. I didn’t have time to react, but Sandra…” Charmeine and Sandra looked at each other smiling, “Sandra ran onto the terrace like Bruce Lee and rapidly cracked him the skull with a kick and gave him two synchronized body blows. Later she gave him another kick which made him crash into the stone railing.”
Shane said, “We came in as she gave him a kick and he landed across the terrace,” he was proudly smiling, “but I didn’t know she did those punches before.”
Charmeine nodded and Dmitri said to Sandra, “Oh my… Brava my dear, you are a little bundle of wonder, aren’t you? I will say combat like that, untrained, shows a lot of promise.”
Neal and Dmitri nodded their heads.
Thomas said with his head held down, “I am deeply sorry for the threats my Father gave to you both.” Then Thomas said with a steely determination, looking at Charmeine and Sandra, “My Father will be stopped!”

Charmeine said, “I have told you before Thomas, you are a part of my family now. You are not responsible for what ‘the Little Bo-Peep creep’ does!” She smiled and said, “Sandra and I are fine. He didn’t hurt us at all, and as a matter of fact, I think Sandra hurt him!” Thomas was eased but still seemed resolute in his conviction.
Dmitri turned to Charmeine and looked her in the eye, “While you were… say… transfigured? You said a few things, and I wonder if you could explain?”
Charmeine stopped smiling and took a big breath, “Yes. I know, but I don’t know where those words came from. I… I mean I don’t know.”
Dmitri said, “My dear sweet Charmeine, you still have no idea do you?”
Angrily Charmeine shook her head and stood up, “No, damn it! I’m damn frustrated and confused is what I am! Why does everyone treat me like an imbecile? I have no idea what is going on, but I am a quick study gentlemen.
Never underestimate me! If you know something, you need to tell me what in the Hell is going on!”
Everyone in the room looked at her in a state of astonishment.
Incensed, Charmeine got up and went over to the big mantle fireplace. She thought it was so big; her dining room in Holbrook could fit into it. She pounded on the stone mantel piece with her hands and they began to spark. Disgusted, she turned around and looked at her hands glowing.
Then she looked at all of them and yelled, “Damn it all to Hell! Look, I don’t want to be a Light-Bearer! I don’t want to be a Queen! I don’t want to be anything special or even do anything special. I am not special! I am just so damn fed up with all this bullshit! All I want to do is be with my husband and family. There is nothing more important to me. As God as my witness, I don’t know what is going on with me! I don’t know why I say the things I say and do the things I do!”

Charmeine shook her head in utter disgust and shouted, “Just leave me the Hell alone, damn it!”
Tabbruis started to get up, and as she was running out, she said turned back threateningly with her hands lit up looking at him. She commanded, “That means all of you!”
Charmeine ran out of the Great Dining Hall, and Tabbruis got up to follow her.
Dmitri shouted, “I would not do that Brother. She needs time. You have had centuries to deal with who you are, but she has only had days!” Tabbruis sat down frustrated and concerned with his head in his hands worrying.

ALL of us have had these moments when frustration overtook us…
Releasing the anger is good, I believe…
Unfortunately it is usually directed at the ones we love…
No better song could relate to this….
It was released in 1982, and from the moment I heard it, I have loved it…
IT ROCKS!!!
