Kayla Pov (1 day later)
It's been a day since I contacted Elena. It felt so good to be able to talk to someone. I can't believe it worked. It's nighttime now, and I hear Liam has gone to sleep. I closed my eyes and concentrated on getting to the Firelands. When I open them, I'm in the main room. Solems seems to be working on something in front of him with some kind of book.
"Solem," I called out. He turns around, and a mixture of emotions plays on his face. He leaves with something close to shock.
"Katiana, you're alive," he says.
"Solem, I need your help. I am at my old packhouse, and Lord Alverez is here. He is working with Liam and has created a boundary around the packhouse. I self-projected to Elena, and they are devising a plan to get inside and rescue me. I need you to go to her.
He nods in understanding. We are suddenly interrupted while talking when a mist of blue energy pops up beside me. It's Elena. She looks over to me and nods before turning to Solem.
"Solem, I've been trying to reach you for months. It happened," Elena says, frustrated.
"I'm sorry, Luna; I've been busy, and until now, I didn't know Katiana was still alive; otherwise, I would have been coming to you." He looked down, ashamed.
"Solem, the prophecy is acting out as we speak. We have located the seer of the prophecy, and we have a plan. I need you in my packhouse in 10 minutes," Elena says. She then turns to me.
"The barrier has been brought down. Build up your strength; we are coming to get you tomorrow night. Do not self-project anymore." Elena said, and I smiled and nodded. I see her turning back to Solem as I feel myself being pulled back to my body.

"Our Luna has requested to see you," Serene says as I'm finishing patching up a patient.
"Why did they find a way through the barrier?" I asked.
"Not yet, but she may be able to break the one in your mind," she tells me. I follow her to the training grounds outside, where Elena, Roland, and the twins are. The moon is full tonight. There is a chair in front of them.
"Sit down," she says, and I do.
"I'm going to break the barrier in your mind using the power of the full moon, as I believe it will help us save Kayla," Elena said. I nod because I am ready for the barrier to come down as well. I need to see what happened all those years ago.
"Close your eyes and concentrate on the vision Serene tells me you had," Elena said, standing behind me. She puts both hands on each side of my head and hums. I can feel my head start to swirl. I'm starting to see things. A younger version of myself growing up. I see myself moving things with my hands without touching them. I see Serene and me playing together before we were separated for years. I see myself as around twenty-something years old. It looks like I'm self-projecting into the Firelands.
I saw the chubby man in my vision. I saw a gorgeous woman with red hair. It looks like she is giving birth. I see myself talking to the man I believe is the king. He is telling me to protect his daughter. I'm warning him of the cost of sending her away. Someone will kill him and his wife, I see myself saying. I see him handing me something wrapped in a bundle. It's a baby. It's a little girl. This must be Kayla.
I see myself in his room now with his wife. I see someone wrapped in black robes cutting open the king's throat and injecting some sort of poison into the woman. I can't see the man's face. I feel like I'm trying to see his face, but I can't. The man removes his hood, but I am transported to something else before I can. It must be Lord Alverez. I see myself creating a spell. The spell will wipe the little girl's memories of the Firelands and make her completely human. Her powers won't manifest until she is ready to accept them.
The spell is also placed on me to protect the bundle. I see myself being transported back to earth with baby Elena. I see wolves attacking us. I don't remember how I got there. I don't have any memory of why I'm on that land or why I have a baby in my hand. I just know I have got to protect her. The alpha of the pack questions me, but he deduces that she is not my baby and sends me to Liam's pack to be of service. He sends Kayla a few years later, but I don't recognize her. I just know I have to protect her.
I see Kayla. Her hair is all cut up, and she is bruised. I can tell I'm looking at her now at the current time. She couldn't see me, and I was pulled back into my body. I scream. I let out a scream so powerful it knocked Elena, Roland, Serene, and the twins back as I felt something warm take over my body. Something that I feel has been missing. I feel whole again. My scream knocked down half of the forest trees.
I turn around to make sure everyone is okay and see them staring up at me. I turned my head to the sky.

"The barriers are down," I told them, and I felt myself collapse.
