(Nikki P. O. V)
After hearing so much about my family background, I was unable to take it and ran away from there and broke down into tears. This is so much. Why does all this happen to me? Why did the moon goddess do this with me? I had always wanted to know about my family and when I asked about my parents to Cole when I saw other children’s parents come to drop and take them from school, he told me that my parents died in an accident, but I came over the pain knowing that I have Cole’s family and Trevor with me, but after some time I lose him too.
Emma said that both vampires and dark witches killed my family. Dosing at Mean Ryan and other vampires with him also killed my parents.
“No, they are one of those vampires who do not agree with the vampire king and want to live in peace with others, so the moon goddess visits them in their dreams, and guides them, telling them what they need to do to attain the peace, they are innocent,” Emma said walking towards and wipe my face with her hand.
“So, they stay with the vampire king to keep an eye on him, and when Alok’s kidnapped you, they look after you and Kelvin and help Cole in finding you so that, with the help of you and Cole. he would kill Alok and dark witches and then all of them can leave in peace, ” Emma said sitting beside me.
“I know my child, that you are very angry at the moon goddess, that she has taken your loved ones from you, but she has done that to make you stronger, she knows that you are strong to face every trouble she throws at you, and become even stronger than you already are,” Emma said patting my head lovingly.
“Why did she take my parents and grandparents away from me, can’t she did it without them being killed by those vampires and dark witches, why didn’t she try to help them or send help for them?” I can’t help but ask her.
“Not everything is under her control, my child, she tried to help them by sending help for them, but before help can reach to them, they were dead, if the moon goddess takes something away from you, she sends something in return to fulfil the lack of that person who has gone missing in your life, didn’t she send Kelvin to help you when Trevor, got killed by that vampire?” she asks me and I nodded at her.
“You are a very special person, Nikki, I haven’t completed telling you everything about yourself, and I want to tell everything to you, only if you are ready for it, so do you think you can take it or do you want some more time to take it all in?” she asks me.
If I started to get to know about myself then I better know everything about myself for once and for all. Besides the sooner, I know everything the more time I will get to digest it and prepare myself for everything I will face in the future.
“Yes, I think I am ready to take it all you want to tell me,” I said with the small smile I managed to form on my face.
“That’s like my girl, so you already know that you are a witch, right?” she asks and I nod my head at her.
“You are not only the witch but also a leader of your coven,” she said to me.
“But didn’t you say that all the people in my coven, died in the attack?” I ask confused about the information.
“Yes, but those who manage to survive and run away from there to save themselves, and those who left the coven before the attack were alive and hiding between the humans to protect themselves, and waiting for their leader who is no one else but you,” she said and I nodded my head in understanding.
“They are waiting for you to gain your power and lead them, help them take revenge for the dear one they have lost in the attack when you turn 18 years old, they will find you and come to you,” she said to me and I nodded at her.
“And last thing but not least, you are the second and the most powerful daughter of the moon goddess, that’s why she chooses you to punish and kill those who break the rules she had made to keep the peace between the world she had prepared and established the peace between them once again,” she said and I look at her with a wide eye, and jaw drops on my lap.
“You are kidding right?” I ask her hoping her to burst out laughing any minute but to my dislike, she was serious with hell. Great just great, I thought and signed in defeat.
“I know, this is too much for you, so take all the time you want, but remember that the sooner you get over with it, the better it will get for you because the enemy is not going to wait for you to be ready for the war,” she said to me with a gentle smile on her face and walks inside the mansion. I get up from my place and start pacing around the place I was sitting a few moments before.
This is too much, maybe I am having a nightmare if I pinch myself maybe I will be able to come out of this nightmare, I thought, and pinch myself while closing my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I was still standing outside of Emma’s mansion.
“No, not a dream at all,” I said shaking my head at myself and running my hand over my face in frustration. I looked up in the sky and her that the sun was setting, so I decided to go inside the house for my safety.
“Nikki, are you okay? I know it’s too much for you, do you want to talk about it to any of us?” Cole asks as I get inside the mansion and walks into the living room.
“I am fine Cole, I just want to be alone for some time to take it all in, I hope you would not mind if I sleep in a separate room only for today, ” I ask him and he nods his head at me.
“I will show you another room,” Emma said and led me to another room. As I looked outside the window, I saw the sun had already set and the moon had come out and shone in the night. I walk towards the window and sit on it.
After some time, a cup came in front of my eyes and I turned to see Emma holding two cups in her hands and one hand was stretched in front of me.
“It’s an herbal tea, it will help you to relax and sleep in the night,” she said smiling at me. I thanked her for taking the cup of tea from her hand. I stayed in the window and drank the tea Emma had offered to me while gazing at the moon and the tea helped me relax a bit. When I finished the tea, Emma took the cup from my hand and walked out of the room, I don’t know if she was still there in the room because she didn’t even make a peep while she was there.
I gaze back at the moon and don’t know when I fall asleep in the window.
