Kimmie? Are you up here?”<br/><br/>Chloe calls out to her mother:<br/><br/>“Here Mother. Come join us!”<br/><br/>Circe sits on the end of the couch, Chloe in between the two of us.....<br/><br/>“So you know what I’ve been doing, I assume. We wish you to be present at a full gathering in Shannon this Friday to be judged. Now I know what you’re going to say, we’re not worthy to judge you. And you’re right. Goddess knows you’re right. But you know too how some of our Sisters are. I don’t need to explain that to you but for Kimmie I will.”<br/><br/>“Kimmie, our line goes back a long way. We have long worked on when the way we’ve always done things needs to change. Chloe has introduced something new. Not something unexpected, but certainly never expected during my lifetime.”<br/><br/>Chloe puts things into a more modern perspective for me....<br/><br/>“Just like I never expected to need to get back with you and perhaps you never imagined we’d ever be in contact again. Life’s full of surprises even when we ought to be expecting them.”<br/><br/>Chloe addresses her mother as I begin to get the smallest inkling of this.  A person like Chloe has been anticipated by the line of sisters.  The exact who, what, when, and where were not clearly delineated.....until now.  Now that person has arrived.  That person, that Sister, is Chloe!<br/><br/>“We won’t be in Shannon because we will be here in Boston. Kimmie and I don’t trust others with our animals in our lab. Invite them here. Salem has always been kind to us and reminds us of our failures better than many other places. And second, we agree to be interviewed. They are unqualified to judge what they do not understand. No, please don’t say that to them. We, Kimmie and I, are the future. We are all better if the Sisters choose to accept us as their new reality. But they are not permitted to bring us harm. Meeting in Shannon would bring us harm. Sisters Callia and Shavsha are not allowed in our presence. If they are anywhere nearby, we do not participate. Is that clear Mother?”<br/><br/>…Circe seems startled, but  her mind is already running through the permutations of the request.....She answers Chloe: …<br/><br/>“Chloe, I did not know of Shavsha yet her words in subtle support of Callia’s proposal for Shannon are now transparent. Thank you, dear daughter.”<br/><br/>I sit silently....I know I just heard correctly.  Chloe and I are the future!  She wants the Sisters to accept us.  But, I dont even know what the Sisterhood does?  I know nothing about a group of women who will judge me worthy or not.  What I dont know could fill volumes....the will see this instantly.<br/><br/>Chloe begins to establish a strategy for strengthening the Sisterhood.  Part of it will not be pleasant, that much I can tell.<br/><br/>“Mother, I trust you understand there will be a winnowing within the Sisterhood. Let it begin with those two. You know how to do this. None of us wish any others harm, but rest assured I will do what I must. My protections and wards will be challenged soon. We have no time to waste on the lost and I have no mercy for those two.”<br/><br/>Circe's face shows great consternation. What Chloe has proposed must be like a lightning bolt hitting their group …<br/><br/>While Circe tries to object, Chloe will not entertain an amendment to the winnowing.<br/><br/>“Yes Mother. What you don’t yet realize is that the typhoon struggle is being initiated as we speak in that five sided building. We know how and why that building was built. I will destroy it and its relatives in Moscow and Beijing and Berlin and Tehran and Riyadh and Tel Aviv and all the others. All the Sisters are crucial to this and we cannot be divided. This is not about victory, this is for the future of our race and our planet.”<br/><br/>I sit stunned and silent.  She is talking about a war to survive.  I glance out at the peaceful Boston beneath my feet....I try to fathom what I just heard, what is expected, where I fit in....and what the future holds.  I have no answers.....yet!<br/><br/>Then, in a flash, we come back to reality....to today.....<br/><br/>“Mother, how are Daddy and Aunt Becky? Let’s get with them and figure out dinner. Oh!”<br/><br/>Chloe has just thought of something else!!…<br/><br/>“I almost forgot. We need to initiate Kimmie. As far as she can go and as fast as can be done. Please ask Huguette to come to Boston to teach Kimmie. Chloe Rulez can hire her if that’s needed. I can grab an empty condo in my building for her.”<br/><br/><br/>Im to be initiated!!   I need a teacher.....one has been chosen.  A woman named Huguette....Am I ready for this???<br/><br/>One look into Chloe's eyes confirms my commitment.....I WILL learn, I WILL be initiated.  And if worthy, I will take my place beside Chloe as one of the Sisters.  Her wife.....and be a mother??????<br/><br/>My head is spinning a bit.  I take Chloe's hand in mine.  I need her strength right now.<br/><br/>“Love you Kimmie! All is well!”
