Chapter 5

Third Person POV

She looks down at her child with a sad smile, knowing her battle has just begun.

"Don't worry my child. You will make it through these challenging times. I know you will, but you must keep your strength and believe in yourself." she whispers, a small tear rolling down her angelic face. She never wanted this for her daughter, but fate has chosen her path. Giving her the road that will either give her the life she deserves or destroy her completely.

"It's all up to you, my darling Bellona and Hera. But do not worry, I'll be seeing you soon."

Bellona POV

I wake up to the feeling of grass beneath me. Confused, I slowly sit up and realize I am in a field but not one that is in the pack, yet it seems so familiar and safe. It is utterly breathtaking. The sky is clear and the most beautiful blue, there are miles of blue wildflowers blanketing the ground, to my left there is a small pond, the water is so clear you can see everything throughout it. As I walk through the field, I notice a white wolf lying under a large oak tree, I slowly make my way towards the wolf. Once I am a few feet away the wolf opens its eyes and I gasp.

"Hera? But how?"

'Yes, it is me Bell, and we are inside your mind. You blacked out after speaking with Jeremy and now we are here.'

"But why are we here? This has never happened before."

'That I don't know, but I like it here it's peaceful.' I smile at that.

"Me too," I reply, sitting down next to Hera under the oak tree. I do not know how long we sat there but after a while, I begin to hear the most angelic voice.

"Don't worry my child. You will make it through these challenging times. I know you will, but you must keep your strength and believe in yourself." I look to Hera and see that she is as confused as I am, but oddly enough, neither of us are alarmed by this voice.

"It's all up to you, my darling Bellona and Hera. But do not worry, I'll be seeing you soon." Then the voice just disappears as if it was never there.

"Hera? Do you have any idea what or who that was?"

'I know as much as you do Bell, but I guess we will be finding soon by what the voice said.'

"Yeah. I guess so." I slur as my eyelids become heavy. I cannot help but wonder who that voice belonged to as I sit there running my fingers through Hera's snow-white fur. I slowly begin to feel myself drifting back to sleep all too soon, still not ready to leave this amazing place. I could not help but worry about what I was going to wake up to.
