A Human... Being

<p>“What’s your name?”<br />“Xander. What’s yours?”<br />“I’m Serenity” she said sipping her drink.<br />Serenity. What a perfect name Xander thought.<br />He looked again at the tranquil blue energy cloud<br />surrounding her. His own cloud was similar to hers in that it was<br />mostly blue but it contained hints of other colors at times. His also moved slowly but not as slowly or as gracefully as Serenity’s.<br />“So you can see them too” she stated.<br />“Energy clouds? Yes I can see them too” he answered<br />breaking his stare at her cloud.<br />He remembered her admitting to seeing his energy cloud<br />when they first met at the pool ten years ago.<br />She probably doesn’t even remember me from there he<br />thought but maybe she does from the ice cream shop. That was only a couple of years ago. <br />“I do remember you. We saw each other at the pool and at the ice cream shop.”<br />Xander could feel his heart beating hard in his chest.<br />Did she just read my thoughts? he wondered.<br />“Energy clouds. Hmm” Serenity said pondering the term.<br />“I like it… but I call them auras.”</p>
