Chapter 109 - The Blessed Luna

Shelby's POV

Life isn't fair sometimes. Life is over flowing and amazing for some people, for others it is torture and heartbreak till the bitter end. Jenna and James became pregnant without trying or even knowing. Jackie carried her hurt inside and would have carried it to the grave if I wouldn't have found out. Elizabetha is a mystery to me though. I don't know how I am supposed to help her like I did Jackie.

'The answer is simple and easy. It will come to you, little witch. Go visit her and help her quickly. The window of opportunity is closing fast. The prince must be born with the others.' The voice inside my head, I have come to know now as Hecate, said to me.

The prince and the others? I hate being left in the dark with small fragments to go off of. I wish someone would just tell me what is going on and what the plan is. It's been 2 days since my wedding. Daminix and Elizabetha are still here. They are supposed to leave tonight. Maybe I should deal with this immediately, before I go off to find the Fates. I walk downstairs and go to the basement door. I knock loudly, just in case they are watching tv or something. Daminix opens the door quickly after.

"It's like you always know when you are needed." Daminix sounded panicked.

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused.

"Elizabetha has been feeling run down and sickly. Vampires don't get sick." He rushed out.

He grabbed my hand and took me into the room where the couch was.

"I know you can help her." He had almost a begging tone to his voice.

I looked at Elizabetha and saw her on the couch, sweating. Her hair was wet and matted to the sides of her face. She wasn't talking. She just sat still with the occasional chill and shiver. I placed my hand to her forehead and she was on fire. She was so hot that it actually burnt my hand. I pulled my hand back and looked at Daminix. His face was full of panic and worry. My heart sank for him, he just got his mate all to himself. I couldn't imagine not being able to help Thomas. I took a deep breath and looked back at her.

"Go upstairs and get me some ice from the kitchen. You should be good in the shadows, just stay by the back wall." I told him, he nodded and raced up the stairs.

'Alright Hecate. You want this to happen, then what do I do?'

'Call upon your power.'

I reached deep inside and let the force take hold of me. I saw my hands start to glow and reluctantly touched her forehead, not wanting to be burnt again. She wasn't hot to the touch this time. I got closer to her and put my forehead to her forehead. I slowly felt myself melt into her. My mind connecting with her mind. Our thoughts becoming one. I could see her as a child. How far back in her mind did I go? I was pulled away from the thoughts and images to the sound of Daminix's voice.

"Shelby? Shelby? Where did she go? I got the ice. Well, at least her fever seems to have broke." He said, looking into my eyes.

Can he not see me standing right here in front of Elizabetha? Wait ... why does it feel like I'm looking into his eyes, but yet he can't see me. Did I actually go inside of her mind? How in the world do I get out? Wait ... how in the world did I even get in? I yelled and screamed but I couldn't get him to hear me. I could see him and hear him, as if I were in her mind looking out her eyes like they were windows. I figured trying to continue to try to talk to him was pointless. I looked around at my surrounding and it felt empty and hollow.

"Hello." I turned to see Hecate.

"What are we doing in her mind?"

"Well, I thought it would be best to learn something new about yourself."

"How am I going to learn something new about myself in someone else's mind?"

"How are you in someone else's mind? How did you do this little trick? I guess we both will learn somethings today."

"I don't know. I just let my magic do what it feels is right."

"Exactly. You're going to have to get control over that or else you are going to end up stuck in a situation. You need to start practicing more. Your powers are limitless, but they are wild. Luckily, for you, they have been very helpful. Now, why are you in here?"

"I don't know."

"Will your magic. Make it work with you. Make it answer you. Make it give you control. It needed you to come inside her mind for a reason. Figure it out."

I closed my eyes. I cleared my mind. What was the reason? What was the reason? All of a sudden, I heard a noise. I opened my eyes to see an image playing in front of me like a movie on a screen.

"What is this?" I asked Hecate.

"It's a memory. You not only can enter the mind you can watch memories. Pay attention, because you have chosen this image for a reason."

We both watched the memory carefully, but it wasn't just one memory, it seems to have been glances of a bunch of memories. It was like looking at a highlight reel or a trailer to a movie. It started off as an image of Elizabetha as a child playing with her sister. It aged a few years and Atropos left to join the Fates. The years progressed a little more, it showed Elizabetha being murdered and Atropos showing up to save her. It showed her turning into a vampire, the endless nights alone and heartbroken. Since she was suppose to be in hiding she couldn't see her family anymore. The memory ended there.

"Well that was absolutely interesting. I have never known someone to pull multiple memories out and show them in progression. You truly are a very rare talent."

"Thank you, but this was stuff I already knew. I mean, I knew the basics."

"Maybe ... it's not the image but the feeling. How she felt."

"Well, when she was a child she was happy, carefree. When her sister left she was hurt, sad. When she was murdered she was scared, traumatized. When she saw her sister she was relieved, excited. When she was on her own she was lonely, depressed."

"Yes. Sometimes in life we live off of our emotions. Explore further into her timeline. What happened after she met your mother?"

I closed my eyes and willed my power to show me. I opened my eyes and there the image was. It was another reel. It started off with my mother finding her on a dark night ... sad, broken, and alone. She took her into her arms with a hug. It showed Elizabetha playing with Annabella. So they knew each other before I was born. I think I remember them saying that, I'm not sure. I looked back at the image.

"This will be your new home once I find someone suitable to provide and hide her." My mother said. "Annabella will also join you in this body."

"Is this body special?" Elizabetha asked.

"Yes. She is the most important person there will ever be. She will be the Savior we have all have been seeking and the Queen we all desperately need. She is my daughter, the one and only of her kind." My mom said with pride.

"I will do my best when the time comes to help her."

"You won't have to do much. This is a way to hide you in the world again. She will let you return to the world when it is safe for you."

The memory went on to show her going to sleep and being in a dark place. Suddenly, the light shown and she was in my body. Now that I have taken the express version of her life, I understand a little better.

"Do you realize how important you are? Now you understand your friend a little more, because she was a part of you at one point, she will be the most loyal person you will have at your disposal. She will be your biggest supporter. She will fight to her death for you. Now wouldn't it be nice of you to grant her an heir?"

"I will do even better than that."

"What do you mean?"

"Watch and learn. Maybe, even I can teach you something. Control my powers you say?" I chuckled, wiggling my eyebrows.

She laughed, mumbling cöcky under her breath. I reached deep inside of myself. I felt the power in my chest and envisioned it flowing out of my arms. Now what to do with it? I closed my eyes and searched Elizabetha. I connected my mind to her whole body. I felt her insides and connected my flow of energy into her. I could see my magic wrapping around her mind, her heart, and her womb. I willed my magic to mend the pieces that were broken. Her baby maker was the easiest to fix, actually. Her heart and her mind were a little more tricky. Thousands of years worth of self doubt, hatred, and loneliness. I needed to heal my friend. I loved her like a sister. I loved her as much as I did Jenna and Jackie. I wanted her to be happy.

"Well ... Well ... Well ... I never in a million years would have expected you to go that far. Most people only go as far as they need to go and stop."

"Didn't you hear my mother, I'm the Savior. Maybe not just because of this whole revolution thing."

"At least now, all the princes will be born on time and the plan will work."

"What do you mean?"

"I can't tell you, but you will find out one day."

Ugh. I hate this. She grinned and disappeared. Wait ... how do I get out? Do I just ... I closed my eyes and try to teleport. I opened my eyes and I was looking into the eyes of Daminix.

"What the ..." He said shocked, stumbling backwards.

I ignored him and turned to Elizabetha, who was starting to stir. She opened her eyes and smiled at me.

"I know. I saw and heard everything." She said sweetly.

I just wrapped her in my arms. After feeling all of her emotions and a glimpse of her life, I just wanted to show her some love. I started to cry and she did as well.

"Am I missing something here? Why are you two crying?" Daminix sounded panicked again.

"It's hard to explain, but it's a good cry." I said with a small chuckle.

We let go of each other. Elizabetha jumped at Daminix and gave him a huge kiss. I took this as my chance to leave the two love birds alone. I walked back upstairs and once I got outside the basement door I stopped. I shut the door and leaned against it. I put my hand on my stomach. I felt more than just my power inside her mind. I felt a second power source inside of me.
