Chapter 29: She talks about fate

A heavenly warmth hugged my body while I also felt a very satisfying tingling sensation wash over me. I was so confused but the pleasure was so much that I couldn't bear to open my eyes afraid that it'll go away. Yet a voice both comforting and demanding attention dispelled that fear. Curiosity took over making me open my eyes so that I can see the owner of the voice.

Sadly I saw no one else but myself. I was in a room made of a mirror. The four walls together with the ceiling were actually a mirror and it showed no one else but my figure. I am sure I wasn't imagining it, the voice was clear yet also dreamy but lets forget about that! I don't know what this room is for and how I got here yet I'm busy worrying about a mysterious voice when I should be worried about why I'm in this mirror room. I was most shocked about what happened next" Era my dear I finally got the chance to talk to you" I cannot believe it, the dreamy voice actually belongs to me? Yes I don't have such a beautiful soothing voice but with my own two eyes I saw my reflection say those twelve words.

It was weird seeing myself with a gentle smile and eyes filled with warmth and affection. It's obvious that some rude person or thing is using my face and I'm trying really hard not to cringe because I would never show such a cheesy expression on my face. " You're gonna tell me who or what you are and why I'm here but first show me your true self" I didn't miss what it said and even though it's uncomfortable because I'm not used to it I can recognize the affection. No one has ever looked at me the way this thing is looking at me right now. The warmth, longing, affection and nagging feeling telling me I am familiar with whatever this thing or person is must be a trick. I definitely won't fall for it.

" I wish I could show you my real face... I really want you to recognize who I am to you but you are not ready for the truth"

The reason why I wasn't sure if this was a person or not was because I couldn't identify whether the voice belonged to a male or female. Hearing it speak for the second time I was glad to hear a woman's voice. Her voice and emotions made it hard for me to feel annoyed by her answer, I don't like how there's some mysterious force making me feel understanding of what she is saying. I don't understand her at all cause what does she mean I'm not ready for the truth and why am I supposed to be ready? Is the truth that bad that I have to prepare myself for it?

"...but please don't stress about that. I brought you here for a very important reason"

I wish for her to hurry up and say what she has to say so that I can go back to being kicked by that bloody vampire. The power I feel from it is terrifying, I even fear that with just her voice she can turn me into her puppet. I'd rather have my ribs broken beyond repair than be someone else's puppet, 'of course I'm exaggerating'. It's also torture to see my face show these weird expressions and my mouth move while I hear a voice that doesn't belong to me.

" Yes I'm sure you brought me here for a reason and I'm also sure you can explain everything without these dramatic pauses you keep making!"

" Oh I apologize... I'm just so happy that I finally got the chance to talk to you, although I wished it would be a casual chat. You'll immediately go back to the real world after I tell you this so listen closely "

I ignored the first sentence as I was getting used to her weirdness and perked my ears up to hear what she had to tell me. I'm also happy that I'll leave soon because she isn't very pleasant to talk to, all she does is leave me puzzled by what she says.

"I know you think you aren't supposed to be where you are right now but everything happens for a reason my dear. No one is ever in the wrong place or at the wrong time, it's always fate showing off its inevitable will. If fate wills it then it happens.

Do not doubt yourself, do not cower or run away from the approaching storm. You are given a sword that can pierce through that storm. It is not a mistake that it's given to you, you're the only one who knows how to use it so please use it wisely and never forget that great power always comes with great responsibility..."

That is the only thing I managed to get and she, my reflection and the mirrors quickly faded into nothingness. The nothingness felt suffocating but I was woken up by a strong voice.

"Era! Era please wake up!"

Weird. I shouldn't be hearing 'his' voice in fact I shouldn't be hearing a voice at all. The third kick should've cracked more than one rib but right now I feel no pain or loss of energy as a results of the fight I had with the vampire. Right! opening my eyes will help explain the situation.

I was welcomed by beautiful silver eyes that would normally be filled with coldness but right now they showed concern. When seeing me open my eyes there was relief on his handsome face but that quickly disappeared and he went back to his cold unreadable expression. I wanted to open my mouth and say I saw that but I'll say it then what, and why does it matter what I saw. I might have been imagining it cause why would Vale, the powerful leader of the great silver pack be concerned about me. If he did show concern it'll only be because he doesn't want to lose the potion machine.

"Era how are you feeling?" It was Zik who asked while standing behind Vale and I noticed how he kept staring at my wrist, specifically my ugly bracelet. " I'm feeling great actually which is weird" I checked myself and I had no injuries. I was full of energy like I never used my magic today. We were still on the road but there were no signs of the vampires and seeing that Vale wasn't the only werewolf who was here other than Zik I'm sure the vampires chose to run away.

I know they have questions about how I'm all healed up and I suspect it has something to do with the 'voice' but as I was listening to Zik's explanation of what happened after I fainted I got more confused.
