The leaves scrunch under her bare feet as she walks forward. She had
no idea about where she was. She could tell that it was night time, by
how the owl hooted in the distance and the cool air whipped around
and nipped occasionally at her skin causing shivers to run down her
form.
The scent of death lingered around in the air along with the hint of
something that had been recently burned. She could see the aftermaths
of it too. The ground beneath her was burned, the grass was dark as
coal and charred.
She felt weird, something wasn't right. It took her a few minutes to
realise what, which caused her eyes to widen like saucers. She could
see. She could see everything clearly. She couldn't understand why she
didn't pick upon it earlier.
She looked around, it felt weird, taking in the colors but it was a totally
gloomy atmosphere around her.
A scream from inside the house had caught her attention, before she
could stop and think she felt herself moving forward, and into the
house.
She didn't have a trouble following the screams, it was like a second
nature to her. Well it was since it was her own packhouse. The one she
had lived for nineteen years.
The scream felt oddly familiar to her. It wasn't until she entered a room
she had realised why. The door was open a slit and she could see the
familiar figure screaming while there was a wolf on top of her. A Rogue.
"Mom" Jade screams before running to help her.
As she reached her mom's crouched frame, she tried prying off the
rogue from on top of her, but what happened next baffled her. Her
hand went right through their body, the rogue didn't even feel her
touch. Nothing.
She watched helplessly as they both fought on the ground. It was as if
she was invisible or more like they were. Upon further inspection, she
had managed to catch their figure which appeared to be slightly
transparent.
A hand on her shoulder startled her out of her train of deep thought,
turning around she came face to face with a beautiful woman.
She looked ethereal and absolutely gorgeous. Her long black hair
reached her waist in a beautiful pattern, while her green emerald eyes
twinkled like bright stars in the sky. She was wearing a white silk dress
that reached the floor, it fit her frame quite well. She looked a little pale
but it added to her beauty.
"Who are you?" Jade stumbles back in shock.
This only caused the woman to smile at her. For some unknown reason,
Jade didn't feel threatened to this woman's presence, infact her wolf
was calm. Really calm.
"Well, people call me different things but the most know one would be
Seleneâ the woman replies with the smile still etched on her face.
"Wha- you're Selene...as in the Moon Goddess?" Jade's eyes widen with
shock as she stares at this beauty with parted lips.
The woman just nods her head
"Is this a joke?" Jade asks, she turns towards where she had seen her
mother and the rogue only to see that the space was empty, no one
was there.
She turns towards the Moon Goddess.
"Where did they go..." after thinking a moment she asks Selene, "Did
you do that?" .
"You mean your mother and that rogue? Yes I did. It was the only thing
I could think of at the moment to catch your attention. It was a illusion"
"I figured" Jade replies.
Selene smiles at the young girl infornt of her, she was smart. This girl,
Jade was meant for great things. People might call her species an
abomination, but she was far from one.
Infact one day, the time would come when she would be the one to
rescue all of those people who misunderstood her abilities and called
her names.
"Why am I here?â Jade asks Selene, while looking around the room. A
thin layer of dust coated the room, like no one had ever been here for a
while. She had caught onto the fact that it was after the rogues attack.
This whole mansion was abandoned.
"I needed to talk to you about something, because I know you would
have questions when certain things happen in the futureâ Selene stops
for a second, wathing Jade closely before speaking again "also about
your mate..."
This seems to catch Jade's attention, with furrowed brows she asks
"what about him?".
Selene sighs, "I know you are wondering why I paired you up with
someone Adryan. He is hardheaded and stubborn.â Moon Goddess
rolls her eyes.
"But, there are somethings that are beyond our reach. It needed to be
done, your Mating plays a great role to overthrow the prophecyâ
Selene was tormented, she couldn't tell Jade about the prophecy now.
It wasn't the right time. There was a few more years before things starts
playing as stated in the prophecy.
"l.donât you know that he keeps pushing me away? That he keeps
hurting me again and again.â
"I know, I know. " Selene replies then mutters something under her
breath along the lines of âstupid man".
"Just have faith no matter what happens. Besides, the baby is getting
stronger day by day.â The moon goddess looks at Jade's stomach which
now had a visible bump. A smile graces her face while hearing the
child's heartbeats.
"The child is going to be special, one of its kind. You and Adryan need
to keep him/her safe".
Jade just stares at her wordlessly.
"Also one more thing" Selena says.
"What-?" Jade's voice gets stuck in her throat when she feels hands
being placed on her eyes.
"It's time Jade. You're maturing into something meant for great things.
You must embrace your powers. Making you blind was the only way to
obscurse your powers for so longâ the sweet voice of Selene sounded
distant.
Jade felt like she was on the edge of something, she could feel the hard
uneven ground ender her bare feet.
suddenly she felt someone pushing her. A scream rips put of her parted
lips.
Jade sits upright on the bed with a jolt. âWas that a dreamâ, she thought
to herself. Her breathing was uneven. She felt herself tremble. Why was
Selene speaking in riddles. What prophecy was she talking about?.
She placed a hand on her bump, she could feel the baby moving
around, it was growing fast with time, she looked seven months
pregnant now. even though it's been just three months. Withing next
two months she will be holding a baby in her hands.
Suddenly the door to her room is thrown open, a woman with auburn
hair enters her room with a baseball bat clutched between her fingers.
Her blue eyes widely looking for an intruder.
"Who is there and why did you scream and is the baby okay?" Scarlett
asks multiple questions in one go. Scarlett had woken upto Jade's loud
scream making her panic thinking that something had happened to
her.
"Scarlett?!" Jade says with wide eyes. It was back. Her eyesight was
back. She stared wide eyed at the woman infront of her.
So this was what Selene was talking about.
"I can finally see everything" she whispers.
