Chapter 50: Prophecy

Victoria's POV

''Where is this place.'' I asked with shock-filled eyes while my lips were slightly opened.

''Come Vicky, this is your new home.'' Jane replied while giving me a soft tap on my shoulder. ''Home.'' I murmured to myself while I walked around.

The walls of the house were made with colorful crumbling rocks, a front door big enough to accommodate ten people at once. The floor was made of glass tiles, which made me scared of stepping on them.

Beautiful high arched windows, a long staircase made with gold designs, two-seater couches and a glass center table in the middle.

This sitting room wasn't just big, but it was built like a palace where queens and kings live.

''You guys live here.'' I asked while moving my gaze to Lady Laura. ''Yes, and this is your home.'' She replied with a warm smile.

''Mom, I gotta go.'' Jamal said those words and flashed me a quick smile before walking away. Hearing those words from him, I moved my gaze back to the window and realized it wasn't night already, but the weather was getting dark.

''Where are we?'' I asked in fear. ''Australia, we are in Australia.'' Jane replied. ''What!.'' I asked, shocked, while my gaze moved to the big wall clock on the wall which said it's 4pm. ''How did we get here? I mean, how did we get here so fast?'' I asked, astonished.

''Jane teleported us here.'' Lady Laura replied, while Jane smiled widely at me. ''I have the gift to appear and disappear to places just like your mother, my aunt.'' Jane spoke up.

Hearing those words from her, I became curious about everything. ''Mother.'' I whispered to myself.

''Come, I'll show you something.'' Lady Laura smiled widely at me and led the way to the stairs.

Cautiously, I followed her up the stairs while staring at the beautiful interior of the house and wondered who the hell was this people.

We got to a door, and she pressed a code on the door before it clinked and opened by itself.

''Come.'' She said those words when she noticed my resistance to enter the room. ''What have you gotten yourself into.'' I whispered to myself while stepping in, and the door closed by itself.

The moment I stepped into the room, I realized the room was dark, and I could barely see a thing.

''Light.'' The moment lady Laura said those words, the room lightened up with bright lights. ''Come.'' I walked behind and stared around the room as I noticed the room was empty. We got to a door in the room, she opened it and I followed her, only to realize the door led to an underground staircase.

''Don't be scared.'' I nodded my head to her and followed her from behind. We walked down the stairs until we got to a big tunnel which was an empty room. The floor and walls were made of crumbling stones, while flowers were planted on each four corners of the room.

''We are here, please come.'' She gave me a comforting smile before leading the way.

We took few steps into the room before she stood in front of a cemented tomb. The moment I stared at the tomb, I felt drawn by it and wondered what was inside.

''Here rest the dead body of your mother, high priestess Karen, come say hello.''she flashed me a weak smile before stepping away.

With panting breath, I took a step forwards and stared at the cemented tomb.

The tomb was built horizontally, it was cemented with crumbling rocks, and fresh flowers were placed at each end of the tomb while I noticed a write-up and decided to read it.

In loving memory of our beloved priestess, mother, sister and friend, late priestess Karen, born on 7th June 1974 and went to dine with the moon goddess on 9th May 1999.

The moment I read those words, I felt a sharp pain in my head and I had to exclaim in pain.

''Take it easy, it's your first time here, that's why you are having these signs.'' Lady Laura spoke up, but I wasn't paying attention to her words, rather I fixed my gaze on the write-up on the tomb.

''That's my birthday, that's the year and day I was born.'' I murmured, confused.

''Yes, she died few minutes after giving birth to you.''

''What.'' I exclaimed in pain and shook my head in disbelief.

''What is going on here.'' I asked with panting breath as fear enveloped my entire being.

''Listen, there are so many things you need to know and now is the right time to tell you.''

''Things like what?'' I asked impatiently. Lady Laura took a deep breath and thought for a while before speaking up. ''Your mother killed a vampire who happened to be the wife of a dangerous vampire during her visit to France.''

''Vampire.'' I asked with stunned eyes. ''Yes, She got in a fight with the vampire and killed her.''

''Why? What happened?'' I asked curiously.

''Your mother caught the vampire sucking out blood from a human in the woods, got in a fight with her, cut off her head and burnt it, so she would never come back, but she never knew she was getting herself into trouble.''

I felt cold shivers all over my body after hearing those words from her. ''She was pregnant with you, and you were just seven months old in her stomach when all this happened.'' Laura took in a deep breath and continued, ''Your mother was about shifting to her human form when she saw another vampire appear from nowhere, who happened to be the companion of the lady she killed. She went into a fight with him and realized he was different from other vampires, he has speed and incredible strength that your mother couldn't match up to, so she had to flee, but before she could vanish he already sank his fangs on her.'' I noticed she shook her head in pains and drew back the tears standing in her eyes.

''She appeared here and shifted back to her wolf, but it was too late because his fangs were poisoned, and she went into Labor.''she gulped and continued, ''It took everything in her to give birth to you in such a state, but luckily, you came forth in my hands. I gave you to your Mom, who kissed you and gave you the name Victoria before handing you over to me.''

''Before a healer could come, the poison had already filled her system and there was nothing to be done, and unfortunately, we lost her.'' Hearing those words from her, I gulped in pains and collapsed on the floor while I stared at the tomb.

''You stayed here for two days before a prophecy was said about you and I have to give you to Sofia, your mother's personal handmaid, to take you back to your father, so you could live like a human.''

''What prophecy?'' I asked curiously.

She moved away from me and walked around the room, but did not say a word.

''What is it.'' I asked again while getting on my feet.

She took a deep breath and turned to me.

''There will be a fight between the werewolves and the vampires, and the vampires will be led by the son of the woman your mother killed, while the werewolves will be led by you and your mate.'' She explained.

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard those words from her, that I, Victoria, would lead thousands of werewolves to a fight when I didn't even have a wolf or abilities.

''I think you must be joking, or maybe that prophecy was a lie.'' I spoke with a bitter chuckle. Lady Laura raised her eyebrows and stared at me with a quizzical look before moving closer to me. ''And what makes you think that prophecy was a lie?'' She asked.

''Because I have no mate, neither do I have a wolf nor abilities.'' I replied.

Lady Laura scoffed and shook her head.

''I believe you've already met alpha Derick, he was given that gift of incredible strength because of the fight ahead of him and for your wolf and abilities. I subdued them in you before giving you to Sofia and your father.''

'What!'' I exclaimed in shock.
