Mary was going to fly high in the Air Force and Luke wasgoing to excel, but not with each other.The glimmer in Luke's eye gave him the gaze of an ecst...tic madman. It willshine as bright as the North Star on the darkest night. This was fittingfor Luke, talking about Mary, the girl who gave him his true north."Mary is great, I love her. We are going to break up soon, but we willalways be together. She is a part of me as I am a part of her. Even withthe trust, love and bond between us, we are not. Shethen showed me my past, and through it I saw the truth. I was alwayssupposed to be a girl. She also had another surprise for me, Deb, inspirit form. Deb assured me that she doesn't blame me, and that she ishappy and at peace. Gia also told me I would have help making thetransition from boy to girl. So Doc, Ares, and I went to my hometown topay our respects at Deb's funeral. On the way, I came clean to themboth. I had debated with myself whether or not I should, but I amconvinced that if I am. She patted the bed and said, "Stay with me tonight. I don't want to sleep alone. Please?"Groggily, I nodded and dropped my pants and shoes. I crawled in bed thinking that I was nice guy after all.The next morning I awoke with a headache, not a bad one considering, and in an empty bed. Reaching down, I scooped up my clothes and dressed myself. I made my way to the facilities and then poked around the little apartment looking for Meg."She's gone," said the teenager sitting in the kitchen eating a. I looked at Red and whispered, "I'll go in and you cover me from here." He nodded and I went to the front door.I kicked the door in and found the third man with his pants around his ankles and a wet cock. I chopped at him and went after the other two. I pulled the one on top off Miriam and threw him across the room. Miriam pushed away and I lifted her off the other attacker who rose up to take an arrow through his arm and into his side. The one I threw was out from hitting his head on the wall.
