"We have retrieved the boy. He is in room 71." An old man with long white hair says to Reggie, nodding his head as soon as Reggie acknowledges him with a nod as well before leaving the room, we were in.
My immediate thought was Damian, him being young still. I look at Reggie but he is focused on the three trees in front of us, as if they were talking to him somehow. Hope was standing right next to me, looking in curiously like me. Reginald spends the next 5 minutes staring quietly between the three tree barks, his stance of someone busy with mind link.
As my mate, Damian faces a lot of challenges. For starters, he has to go against everything he was taught to believe just to love me and be with me. Damian had to flee, in parting, he abdicated his throne... who knows if he will get to become alpha when he returns? With or without me.That is why I have left him to rest so I can talk to Reginald about helping me heal the hate in his heart for our kind. The fact that we are mated, just the goddess deeming us compatible, where life could possibly argue that we aren't, says a lot and I am willing to fight as long as he is. He has an even bigger fight, the coming war aside, an internal battle is one
"What the fuck?" I say out loud, making the girls giggle in front of me. I look at them, all at the same time and individually, just to let it all sink in... to make sure I was not going insane.I mean, maybe I am and this tree gives some form of a high when you touch it. That's it! I am probably hallucinating, that would make sense and Reginald tried to warn me but I would not listen and also that his warning came a bit too late."We can assure you; you are not going crazy." One girl tells me, voice sounding eerily like my own. That freaks me out even more and I feel myself begin to actually lose it. I feel my head spin, the oxygen leaving the b
A brand-new day.A day full of clarity, determination and drive. I am a new girl, the Jeannie I was a few minutes ago is long gone. That was the name of a girl who was lost in the dark, only driven by pain and consumed with love. Xena is a woman in search of justice and defeating the evil that has taken over her people, even those born without magic.They are lost and have been lied to, raised to grow up with so much hate for one another. A child, stripped of all innocence by telling them who
"Xena? Isn't that your wolf's name?" Damian asks me and I nod my head yes."That is correct but my wolf and I are one, back then, your wolf would give you the name you are to go by. I see things have changed now." I say back to him, confusing him once again."I am Xena, reborn and back to fix what has been broken. The girl you have known as Jeannie is no more. I can feel the mate bond, I can feel the love but I need you to know that I came back from the past to save my people. The people you want to kill, no thanks to your upbringing." I speak.&n
"What do you mean you lost her? I thought, we all thought you had her fooled? For goddess's sake woman, you hurt yourself to gain sympathy from her, asking us look like the bad guys, of which we are considering what we are about to do to her people but what the hell!?" A man's voice can be heard screaming over the phone in Dalia's hand.She drops the phone, watching me smirk- that being my chosen reaction. I could have gone with the growl, predator look or just a smile but I need her to know that I am on to her, I have been on to her, way before she was born and she has also just been caught red handed."You seem busy... should I come back later?" I as
I have a power to most alive today, are unaware and overly confident to the possibility of ending me. Damian's mother may think that killing her own son to defeat me may bring me down and to some extent, it will weaken me. However, I have loved before and I have lost.I have loved a man for many years, watched him die right in front of me, in front of all our children and here I am once again, to fight a war that requires my capabilities once again and put an end to those who think they can just simply gain power and control over their kind. I come from a higher power that, if I was to meet my demise, I will only wake again to finish what I started, with or without Damian by my side.
Raising my arms, the clouds turn gray and everyone could see the lightning as it came closer and closer before hitting me and rain falling."Pluvia. Pluvia. Pluet super nos omnes. Pluvia. Pluvia. Pluet super nos, et purifica nos. Imbribus, iterum nos sanos fac." (Rainfall. Rainfall. Rain on us all. Rainfall. Rainfall. Rain on us and purify us. Rainfall, make us whole again.) - I say out loud.As the people start to look up, in shock of the cold rainwater that hits them. The water cascadi
The room was quiet when I walked in. It was set up like a hospital room, with a small bed where Damian's body lay on and I could hear beeping sounds from the heart monitor.Everyone else but Reggie walked out of the room as soon as I walked in, not saying a word to me. Reggie steps away from Damian, to allow me the space to be close to him."You said you would keep him alive," I say."He is, alive..." Reginald says to me, I don't even look back at him."Barely, look at him!" I say. Damian's heart was weak and I could feel it in me that we were losing him. The mark on my neck connected me to him and the little bit of him that was left was all I could feel, the rest of him was gone and I felt empty. A hole was growing big inside of me, where our connection should be growing, Damian's stamp in my heart was slowly fading."What am I going to do? Nobody is allowed to play with the laws of life. Life and death are not up to an
