Chapter 67: The other part of the prophecy
Victoria's POV
''Fire and Ice.'' I stammered confusedly.
''Yes, you should be told that.'' He grumbled and let go of me.
Reluctantly, he ran his fingers through his hair for a while, and settled his piercing gaze on me.
''What were you told about the prophecy.'' He asked unwillingly, like he was being forced to.
''The same thing you were being told.'' I murmured and gently massaged my neck. It was really strange that I was standing in front of a dangerous vampire, but I wasn't as scared or uncomfortable as I should be.
''You and I were told different things.'' He replied.
''What were you told?'' I asked out of curiosity.
''I asked you first.'' He put his hands in his pockets and gave me quizzical eyes, which made me uncomfortable.
''There will be a war between the werewolves and vampires, and you and I will lead our people to it.'' The minute those words left my mouth, he snickered loudly like I had just made a bad joke, which I find really annoying.
''You guys are herpetic.'' He chuckled loudly and shook his head for a while
''Were you told a different thing?'' I asked, but he did not say a word, rather he went into deep thought before settling his gaze on me.
''You look too young and fragile for this.' He muttered in a disappointed tone, which made my wolf howl angrily in my head.
''You have a lot of training to do, you don't even know your other abilities yet.'' He tapped his teeth on his tongue and shook his head with pity, which got me pissed off. I hated that pitiful look on his face.
''I'm not well-prepared today, but I bet you the next time we come across each other you will tremble at my feet.'' I muttered those words as a promise to him and also to myself.
''I will gladly wait for that day to come.'' He mocked and shook his head.
''See you around.'' He turned and wanted to walk away, but I stopped him by my words.
''What do you know about the prophecy.'' I asked curiously because it seems he knew so much more than me.
''Everything, I know everything about the prophecy.''he replied and tried walking away, but I stopped him.
''Things like what?'' I asked, feeling so comfortable in his presence.
He heaved a heavy sigh and fixed his gaze on me.
''What do you wanna know?'' He asked.
''Everything.'' Ridiculously, I was anxious to hear his side of the prophecy.
''Stick to what you are being told, it's better that way for the both of us.'' He said those words and tried walking away, but he turned and stared at me.
''Don't get too comfortable around me or around other vampires.'' He expressed those words as a warning and walked away.
As I watched him walk away, I felt my heart pound in fear, not because I was scared of him, but because I felt there was more to what I already knew.
''Vicky, where are you? I can't see you around.'' Vicky spoke through mind link to me.
''Let's go home.'' I replied as I walked out of the dark corner.
''Why, where are you?''she asked.
''Just take me home.'' I expressed those words in anger.
''Calm down.'' Jane tried to calm me, but I spoke up
''Get me home this minute.'' I yelled through telepath, but Jane did not say a word.
I stood in front of the bar and impatiently waited for Jane to come out, and she did after a few minutes.
''What is wrong…'' She tried speaking, but I cut her off
''Take me home, this very minute.'' I muttered out in a manner I believe I hadn't used on Jane.
''Fine, relax.'' She murmured, grabbed my wrist, and I found myself back in my room.
''What's wrong.'' Jane asked in a worried tone, but I ignored her and walked out of my room.
I walked straight to my aunt's room, knocked on it, and aunt opened the door and stared at me with curiosity.
''Come in.'' Aunt stood aside for me to step in.
''What's wrong.''aunt asked as she closed the door behind her.
''I need to know everything about the prophecy.'' I said those words and folded my both arms.
''I don't get you.'' Aunt asked with a confused expression on her face.
''You know what I'm talking about, aunt, please I'll appreciate it if you start talking.'' I spoke in an angry tone.
''I still don't know what you are talking about.'' She spoke firmly, but I could notice the guilty look on her face, which meant she was definitely hiding something from me.
Aunt moved away from the door, sat on the bed and averted her gaze from me.
''You should get yourself prepared and stop having doubting thoughts in your head.'' Aunt stated those words firmly, which got me really upset.
''Really?'' I asked in anger and stood before her.
''I'm the one leading the battle, don't you think it's right. I know what I'm getting myself into.'' I asked angrily.
''I have told you all that you need to know what else do you wanna know.''
''All that I need to know?'' I asked in anger.
''Does that mean you are not telling me everything?'' I asked in a doubtful voice.
''Listen Vicky.'' I did not let her finish before cutting in.
''I met a vampire.'' I muttered out
''What!'' Aunt yelled and stood on her feet.
''Where.'' She asked with wild eyes, but I ignored her questions.
''There is more to what I know, and you will have to tell me everything or count me out of this.'' I spoke firmly.
''You still haven't answered my questions. Where did you meet him and who was it?'' Aunt demanded angrily, but I wasn't bothered about it.
''And you still haven't answered mine. I ask again, what else do you know about the prophecy.'' I demanded in anger, but aunt shook her head in anger,
''Who did you meet and how on earth did you meet him.'' Aunt demanded.
''Since you don't want to talk about this, then count me out of whatever you are planning because I can't get in a fight when I know absolutely nothing about this.'' I spoke angrily and walked out of aunt's room.
Angrily, I left the mansion and walked into the thick, dark woods.
I took off my clothes and slowly shifted into my wolf. As I walked further into the woods, Bernard's words kept ringing in my head and I knew there was more to what I was being told, and I really wanted to know what was being hidden from me.
''Olivia''I heard a voice in my head which I never thought I would hear in my head.
''Bernard.'' I whispered to myself, but my wolf howled angrily in my head.
''Fuck.'' I murmured to myself and shifted back into my human form and went for my clothes.
''Or should I call you Victoria.'' Bernard called out to me again, and I was too shocked to reply.
''You can't ignore me for long.'' I heard Bernard's voice in my head and I knew if I said a word he would definitely hear me.
Groaning softly, I walked out of the woods and made my way back to the mansion. On reaching the mansion, I realized everyone was in the living room, probably waiting for my arrival.
''We need to talk.''aunt demanded.
''So are you ready to talk now.'' I asked while folding my arms.
''Let's go upstairs to my room.'' Aunt said those words and took the stairs while I followed her from behind, but I could notice the worried look Austin was giving me, which meant something was wrong.
We got to aunt's room, while I stood by the door, impatiently waiting for aunt to speak up.
''There are things I think you shouldn't know until the time is right, and I assume now is the right time.''aunt heaved a sigh and sat on the bed, and I noticed she went into profound thought while a worried look was on her face.
''All I told you about the prophecy was true, but I kept one thing away from you because I didn't want you to freak out.'' She murmured, almost to herself.
''What did you keep away from me.'' I asked as I felt my heart beat with fear.
She took in a deep breath and spoke up.'' You know you can rewrite your destiny, Vicky, you don't have to be scared of anything.'' She said those words while I noticed the worried look on Aunt's face, which got me alarmed.
''Just go straight to the point, aunt. Just tell me what I need to know.'' I spoke impatiently.
Aunt heaved a soft sigh and thought for a while before she spoke up. There is a part in the prophecy which says your blood will stop the fight and end the war between the vampires and the werewolves.'' hearing those words from her, I became confused and wondered what she meant.
''What do you mean my blood will stop the war?''
Aunt stood on her feet and walked up to me.
''The prophecy says the vampires will have an edge over us, but we can win over them if you sacrifice yourself, but you don't have to worry about that, Vicky, I believe that part of the prophecy is just an assumption, and we are going to win the moment you get all your powers.'' she tried convincing me, but it wasn't working, all that kept ringing in my head was the fact that I was going to die.
