Chapter 127 The Prophesy (2)
Alessia’s POV
My cheeks warm up slightly as I avoid their gazes focusing on Alex rather.
\-I guess the cats out of the bag
Angelica recovers first “The two of you have matching tattoos? When did it appear? How did it appear? Did it hurt? Why is T-” Luca stops her tirade by kissing her lips? All of a sudden Angelica is quieted effectively…
So that trick works for all women ?
“Breathe Angelica give them a moment to answer you perhaps?” She gulpa nodding then they both face us expectantly.
I turn to Alex and he gets it “We woke up with it today mine is on my torso and Alessia’s is on her thigh, same mark, same color”
Not giving them a chance to ask another question Lucy nods “It is the easiest way to fully activate your power. The bonding will amplify your power and unlock all dormant abilities.”
That is why I am crushing the lessons!
The council will catch up soon but I will worry about that bridge when I reach it.
Soon me and Alex will be able to Mind talk, he already even seems more attuned to my needs could he be sensing it already?
“You know,Enya said my power is manifesting fast” I murmur
“She might already suspect but is waiting for you to come clean” Lucy finishes “I will advise you to not come clean keep them guessing.”
I smirk as Angelica lets out a small laugh
“They don't even know but are throwing tests at you daily” Alex says coldly “Imagine what will happen if they do”
Lucy folds her arms in from of her “High council members rarely follow the straight path.”
I take a few calm breaths trying to steady my breathing.
“Does the prophecy hint at where this magical armageddon takes place?” Luca asks
Smart question I haven't even thought of it I look to him gratefully giving him a smile.
Both Angelica and Lucy shake their head “Most of these scripts down contain all the information”
Lucy flips to the next page “but there seems to be one added line..”
We turn to her expectantly…
“The last daughter shall either restore the fracture or become the flame that ignites it.”
My mind goes to my first elemental power and strongest as it stirs in my belly.
My Flame
Magical war and mayhem
Restoration
Or destruction
How was my mothers death tied to all of this?
“But what fracture is it referring to?”I ask
Lucky's eyes land on me for a moment “We need to find that out and we need to do it soon.”
Silence settles in the room once more, everyone lost in their heavy thoughts.
Alex shifts lifting my chin softly pressing a chase kiss on my lips “Alessia remember what I said to you on our way here, you are never alone.”
My heart melts like butter at his words
Luca pipes in “We will always be here for you Alessia all of us.” he squeezes Angelicas hands and they both give me a reassuring smile.
As long as I am not alone? The battle is half won already .
Lucy stands up “Like we had already decided lets carry on like we dont know anything ,attend every lesson, take notes and Practice. I and Angelica will refer back to your lesson notes to see if we can find more on the prophesies.”
Relieved I nod, we have a plan of action
Hopefully they are able to find a timeline or at least a hint on where it will take place
Lucy hands the book to Angelica “Lets talks about it again tomorrow.”
I reluctantly get off Alex's lap before Mara arrives. It won't be good to get caught in his arms and I switch places with Luca. My mind still racing with all that we just discussed.
Looking towards Alex I ask him what has been on my mind since Enya mentioned it earlier. “Alex one more thing please I will like you to look into my mothers death.”
Everyone in the room turns to me as I carry on my voice laced with pain Angelica reaches for my hand squeezing it once “Oh Alessia.” she whispers gently
My heart is splintering, talking about Mum always hurts but I have to “I can't help but feel it's connected somehow.”
Alex’s eyes stare in to mine his expression on d of sympathy “Yes Alessia I had been thinking along those lines too In Sicily.”
Wow and he never said anything
“Dont worry I will get my best Men and Padre on it tonight” Alex adds decisively as he reaches into his pocket for his phone.
“Thank you” I whisper under my breath my heart heavy and my mind unsettled. Too many things to deal with and nobody knows what comes next.
Turning to Angelica I smile though the tears filling my eyes “The truth will set me free I really believe it”
Angelica gives me a hug “I believe it will in the meantime I will also start magic lessons with Lucy alongside the translations”
Lucy cuts in “We most all do our part that is a good idea Angelica.” Pausing she squints her eyes at the comforter for a few seconds before adding “I think your mums death wasn't normal she is one of the most powerful witches this coven has ever birthed it is worth taking a look especially now with this prophecy —-”
Luca swears under his breath as Alex tenses.
She doesn't have to add another word. I know exactly what she is implying. If my mother was killed because they thought she was the witch referred to in the Prophecy then by now they probably have heard about my existence and I will be their next target. …
There is another knock on the door and this time I am certain it is Mara, three raps punctual and sharp. Time certainly passes in a blur when your mind is occupied with Magic wars, Defense, and Prophesies !
I sit up straightening my shoulders…
The coven and dinner are waiting..
And after that? Some Answers…
