I Have Been There Before Novels & Stories

My eyes shut themselves as my chest rises and fall with a deep exhale. ‘I really am back here’ My Eyes come open, the summer heat and nausea returning to me like an old memory. Observing the scenery before me though, a fickle of confusion strikes my mind as I move my heavy feet to descend the steps. I’ve been here before but, I haven’t been here yet.

ESMERAY White fog. I remember this place all too well. I have been here before. This has to be heaven. The first time I came to heaven was after Zella had smacked me with an aluminum tray after I broke her expensive wares in the kitchen. I’d been happy to be in heaven then, but right now, something felt off. I wasn’t ready to come to heaven, I felt like I’d left something or someone on Earth. That’s weird. I have no one.

I stepped to the sidewalk on my shaky feet, and he tucked me to his side like he was afraid something bad might happen to me, a strong arm around my waist as we walked through the entrance. A wave of déjà vu swept over me as the elevator opened and he helped me inside.

I shook my head. “No. It just feels..familiar. I know I have been here before.” His fingers curled tighter around my arm. “This is where we lived...for many months.

"We've arrived." Blinking away the remnants of sleep, I looked around, only to find the landscape covered in darkness. But something about this place felt hauntingly familiar. Despite the veil of night, recognition dawned on me. I could recognize this place anywhere, at any time. I had been here before. In fact, I had lived here before. This was my pack house the very place from which I had been cast out. My mind reeled with confusion and disbelief. What the heck were we doing in Eclipse Pack?!

Namely holding her hand, playing with her hair. I’m not sure who I am anymore. And that terrifies me so much, I go quiet for a bit. “You’ve been here before,” she observes, spot on. I shrug again, distracted. “Still random.” I have been here before. Twice or thrice, I’m not sure. But I do not see the need to mention it. “When?” “Sometimes when I drop you off at work, I come back here. It’s quiet and no one’s in your face. Helps me focus when I’m working.”

“Have you been here before?” “No,” I tell him. I could add that I haven’t really been anywhere before but don’t bother to do so. “I’ve always wanted to come, though.” “We are going on a private boat ride, a tour of the falls and the lake. I think you’ll enjoy it.”

In record time, I finished dressing up, and headed out with my fiance to the pack clinic. On our way there, I tried to ignore the nagging feeling of déjà vu at the back of my mind. Every greeting and every word from the pack members we met on the way sounded familiar. I could predict what they would say before they said it. I already knew the people we would run into before we did. The more distance we covered on our way to the clinic, the harder it became to shake the feeling that I had seen it all happen before. "Julian, what's today's date?" I asked when we got to the front of the dilapidated clinic building.

Still in the dim light, I sensed a change. Not only in our environment. In me. "I believe I know this place," I said to Kieran He turned around to me. "What are you talking about?" I turned about. The trees. The ground. The stones were in the form of twisted claws. It was indistinct, yet something moved in my breast. A memory that I was not familiar with. I had been here before, I said to myself. "But not me. Not this version of me." Tyra ceased her walk.

Maybe it was the mate bond that made it so easy but I had an intuition that it was more than that. As Hunter slowed down and drove up a gravel lane the scenery became familiar and I felt like I had been here before. “I’ve been here before.” I tell Hunter as I look at my window. “Impossible. No one has ever been here but my parents and I.” Hunter says looking at me with a confused look on his face. “I have been here. It’s a log cabin with a wraparound porch that overlooks a beautiful lake and there is a trail entrance is by a boulder.” I tell him picturing it all in my head.
