Chapter 58 The Prophesies
Alessia's POV
I come out of the little toilet making my way slowly back to my seat as both Alex and Luca turn their heads to me .
“Morning Cara mia, How did you sleep?” Alex asks softly placing his large hands in mine warmth seeping through me
I smile drily “As good as could be expected, we are flying after all it's not the most comfortable sleeping position”
“Hey Luca,” I give him a cheerful smile trying to stretch out the kinks from my shoulders.
He smiles back “ Hey Alessia, a lovely morning to you too “
Alex laughs “Alessia we have a long journey ahead of us flying was the shorter route” Pausing he adds “Padre had suggested we go by sea but I was against it” I shiver thoughts of turbulent high seas and sea storms filling my mind all of a sudden.
Luca cuts in with a serious tone “Sea travelling is pretty extreme and quite unsafe for women”
I shiver eyes widening with fear “Forget I said anything, By Air it is then.” Alex smiles and my heart does a fox trot..He has such a lovely smile.
Angelica pipes in “Entering La Casa is even impossible via sea the route was closed of by the sea witch Medusa eons ago so we would have had to switch to either by air or by road”
Alex raises his brow “It's not that it's sealed it's just humans rarely make it out if it alive, My father died in those treacherous seas”
I gasp as I clutch onto his arm “I am so sorry Alex” he spares me a quick glance before looking out if the window brooding “It's okay it's all water under the bridge now”
I glance at Luca with a questioning glance as if to ask should I press? He shakes his head at me mouthing no. I get it and let him have a moment I let go off him and face Angelica as she seems deep in thought sipping some tea grey eyes calm but never missing a thing.
At that moment the cabin crew wheel in breakfast and it is such a perfect distraction
Fresh fruit, some bread and jam is set in front of us and I give them a polite smile.
I am feeling a bit hungrier than yesterday I guess my stomach is adjusting to being so high in the air even though my mind is filled with different thoughts.
I eat quietly as I read the translated script once more Angelica notices my fixation on the scripts and she tilts her head in question
“Are you ready to carry on with your lessons?” She asks gently
I nod “yes after breakfast I will pick up where I left off I can't escape it so I might as well soldier on.” I Dont know why the translated texts makes me so nervous anytime I read it. Perhaps it is because it feels to close what is happening to me right now
I flip the next few pages and read them silently it's in English and easy to understand. I flip another few pages and another untranslated scripts jumps at me from the screen sighing I hand it over to her. “Here Angelica have at it”
She accepts the laptop carefully looking at the script .Angelica reads it in an ancient language slowly at first, before her voice picks up her eyes races against the screen as she speaks in a foreign ancient language as if it is her mothers tongue.
She then brings out her notebook and starts scribbling and writing again .
“This further elaborates on the awakening. The one that shall rise, bound by her blood and light.
The last daughter of a forgotten line”
My heart drops to my chest as I remember Padre’s words when we met
“You are the last one in a line of Pure blood witches - The Molanos..” My throat feels tighter as I adjust my position on my seat
Luca leans towards the screen does it happen to mention where this will happen?
Angelica shakes her head. “Most of these scripts are really old so some parts are incomplete. Here is the second part” she passes over the note to me and I accept it with trembling fingers putting it with the other inside the laptop bag for safekeeping.
I rub my palms together as my heat thunders in my chest. This time the words feel a bit too close to me... What are the odds that it could be someone else being referred to?
The cabin suddenly feels too small and too quiet
Even the quiet hum if the engines is doing nothing to calm my heart
Angelia lifts her gaze from the screen and locks her gaze on mine as her eyes flash again with gold flecks
Bright
Flash
Very fast like it blinked
Like a spark of fire and it seems only I saw it once again .My heart roars louder in my chest
She blinks and her eyes return to the usual dull grey. She clears her throat and hands me the laptop without adding another word. I stare at her unable to shake the feeling of pending doom for a moment.
Angelica sits up returning her book to her bag gently. “ If you come across another script let me know.”
I nod and say nothing as I ponder over what I keep seeing in her eyes… Alex glances at me for a moment “What are the two of you talking about?”
Angelica smiles “I just translated the scripts and teaching Alessia a bit of witchlore history”
I clutch my arm rest tight as my pulse races. She meets my eyes again and it's like something unspoken passes between us.
She knows I saw it
She wants me to keep quiet
For now
I gulp hard leaning back in my chair... We are up in the clouds, no way to escape and all of a sudden I feel like whatever the scripts are hinting at has already begun...
