All Elara chapters will be done in third person until she is older. I hope you guys don't get confused by this. Let me know what you think as this is the first time I am writing in 3rd person.
Andy’s P.O.V.“Okay, El, we’ve decided to take you to school with us. With Gabriel’s help we were able to enroll you under the name Elara Moon. Be careful to not share your age or who your parents are with anyone that doesn’t already know you. It’s very important that no one knows your real identity. You will take the potion so that you look older. You will also attend an independent study with Stella in the witch’s building,” I began to explain to Elara, hoping she could understand.We were taking an enormous risk by enrolling her and having her go to classes on her own. She needed to learn these things while she was still young. Seeing her excitement while Petra taught her showed me just how much she desired to learn. It also made Ares and me realize how much she needed it. Her magic hasn’t bursted out of her as easily since Petra’s lesson. I can only imagine what a lesson with an actual witch would do to help her.“Okay, Mommy. I will stay quiet.” Elara nodded. She wanted this just
Third person P.O.V.Today was the day Elara would start school. She was excited having had dream after dream of what it would be like. She knew she had to be careful with who she spoke to and what she said, but the excitement outweighed her worry.“Ready?” her mother asked her as they stood just outside the large archway of the academy. Their hands had long ago parted, allowing Elara to walk freely beside them. She nodded, feeling her stomach turn with a slight nervousness. “You’re going to do great. Let’s go check in and get our dorms assigned.”Ares, Andy, and Elara headed in, crossing under the West Ora Academy letterings. The moment Elara stepped through the archway, her magic swirled inside her. She was suddenly more aware of it than before, hitting her hard, and causing her steps to falter. Not wanting to give away that something was wrong—for fear her parents would send her back home—she quickly composed herself.The pull to her magic was strong, as if it had been amplified. Wha
Ares’ P.O.V.I hated leaving El behind all alone. I kept the future open, but with her it’s always hard to see. There are times where she’s faded out, or her future is so blurry it gives me a headache. I am not sure if it is because she is a prophecy child or if perhaps it is her power itself that keeps it hidden. Either way, I hate not being able to see clearly into her future. Thankfully, I saw that she would do well here. I was allowed to see that much.“She’ll be okay, right?” Andy asked me as she squeezed my hands with nerves. She hated leaving El as much as I did. I was grateful that my mate was willing to raise her with me, but I loved that Andy loves her just as much as me.“Yes,” I answered, even if I didn’t feel like she would be.We silently walked together until a pair of lean arms wrapped around both of us.“If it isn’t my second favorite couple,” Percy, or as I call him Perry, pushed his head between ours.“Second favorite?” Andy asked, she didn’t really care, but I could
Third Person POVElara had enjoyed her time with Leaf and Icarus during her first week of school, finding at least one of them in each of her classes. It wasn't uncommon to find them contradict one another as they spoke with her, but Elara paid it no mind. She decided what to believe of her own accord, not what her friends told her to.She slept with her mother Andy for the entirety of her first week, but tonight she decided she would sleep in her own room. Elara wanted to be a big girl, or so she thought. She wanted to prove she was growing, already feeling like she was seven.When she entered her dorm she found things strewn on her bed, items that did not belong to her. Her white brows furrowed as she stared at each object assessingly, seeing uniform blazers, ties, undergarments of various colors all over. She picked at one with her nose wrinkled in disgust, pinching it with her thumb and forefinger. She tossed it to the floor, doing the same with all the items on her bed until it wa
Jesse's POV“Where are you off to?” Petra was at my side the moment I left my dorm room door. Her blue hair was cascading in beautiful light waves around the curve of her back.I have never questioned my sexuality more than now. “To see Liam.”“Oh? Who's that?” She tilted her head to the side, invading my space as if she had no idea what a personal bubble was.“My intertwined.”“Ah!” She smiled, tapping her chin. “You're forever bound. Odd, I didn't see him when I looked into your future.” She pinched her brows together in thought, twisting my stomach with worry at the same time.What does she mean he's not in my future?“What do you mean you didn't see him?”My heart was thundering in my chest as I waited for her response. Does Liam die? Does he leave me? No, there's no way he would just leave me. But the alternative is worse. “Let's go see.” She smiled at me as if she didn't just turn my world upside down, holding her hand out for me to take.I didn't touch it as I traveled us thro
Andy's POVI was pacing back and forth in my dorm room, biting on my nail as I worried about how things were going with Stella and Elara. My sweet girl was learning something I couldn’t teach her, something I wished I knew better. A great part of me was anxious about what she would uncover as she learned about magic. I knew it was an irrational fear, but I worried that she would be pulled to the darkness as she unlocked her magic.Basing her magic off her mother was not fair, but how could I not, when the woman was such a monster. I had never met a more vile creature, one that suffocated you with evil a few hundred feet away. She reeked of all that was unholy and dark in this world, and I would not survive if my sweet innocent Elara turned out to be just like her. It was an image I quickly casted from my mind.“My flower, you need to calm down. I could feel your anxiety from across campus.” My air appeared from behind me, having traveled through my shadow. Needing to find comfort, I wr
Ares POVI knew this was part of that kid's prophecy—the nepheline who dropped from the sky looking just for me. Elara had questions I needed to answer fully and honestly. Deep down I knew I couldn't leave anything out, despite desperately wanting to. This would break her heart, with no good coming of it, but I also knew worse would happen if I didn’t tell her.“Your mother did something horrible, and in turn, so did I,” I admitted, remembering how I killed her with Elara in my arms. “She made you without my consent, taking something from me that almost killed me…that did kill me internally. When I saw her again, I took it back and more. I took you, and I killed your mother, Elara.”Her eyes stabbed my heart as they misted with tears, now haunting me with how eerily similar they were to her mother’s. A few slid down her cheek, but her eyes never left my own. She was trying to understand, trying to process everything I had just told her. There was no preparing her for the truth. The tr
Third Person POVElara had enjoyed her time with her grandmother. It wasn’t often that Zerena would be caught doing something as dainty as catching butterflies, but for her granddaughter she would do anything. Even go as far as dressing in a pink puffy dress and playing princess—which she had done during the summer. Yet as the sunset and the butterflies disappeared, the hurt Elara was feeling earlier quickly crept back.She was not born of love as she had thought. She was not born from the most wonderful woman in the world. Andy was not her birth mother, or so she learned at the same time she learned what a birth mother even was. It hurt her deeply, feeling as if the bond she had with Andy wasn’t what she thought it to be.There was no doubt in her mind that Andy loved her with all her heart, but part of her wondered if maybe a small sliver of the woman she called mom resented her. Perhaps her father felt the same way, even if just a little, for what her mother did to him. Elara was bo
