Story of witches

Chapter 22: The story of the Witches.

~Elena's POV~.

A smoke sweeping past me woke me up, I opened my eyes to a very unfamiliar ceiling, my eyes dimmed staring at a dark statue beside the window. "Aa.h..hello."

The figure turned towards me instantly, with a snap of a finger, light was brought into the room. Cali stood looking down at me, her eyes full of worries. I looked around the room and quickly registered that I wasn't in Stefan's room.

I tried to sit up but a sudden pain washes through me. I groaned loudly thinking why my body felt that way, it was as if a big wood had been dropped on my body.

"Why do I feel so heavy?" I ask, "And where am I?" I looked round the door.

Nothing similar to the Stefan's room was seen, even the white beautiful colored curtains were replaced with the blue one,

Then the white sparkling bedsheet now the color blue. Everything in the room was the color of blue.

"Relax. You're in my room. Are you sure you're okay?" She asked.

"I'm not okay. Painkillers would do." I replied. She immediately handed me water and a pill as I gulped them down. "Where's Stefan?" I asked.

"Stefan's probably on check up. He hasn't returned for three days." Aaron said coming from a door. He had only pants down a shirtless body. I removed my eyes and returned them to Cali. "When will he return?, and why is he out for three days?"

"He was in a meeting with the moon goddess. He will return soon though."

"What is really going on?" I asked them both. "Come on Jeane. I want to find him." He said putting a shirt over his head totally ignoring me.

"He's nearby. I can feel him through the bond." She said to him, He comes closer to her and kisses her deeply on her lips. "I'll miss you, Jeane." He says before grabbing a jacket on his shoulder. "Same here. Be careful." He rendered a long kiss over her forehead and left through the door.

I watched Cali get lost staring at the closed door. I coughed lightly, grabbing back her attention. "I have lots of questions to ask"

She chuckled and disappeared through a door. She came out with a tray and dropped it on a side table. "Come on, eat. I'll answer your questions after that."

I ate the last drop of the creamy mushrooms risotto with red peppers and puts down water into my belly. Relieved that i was much better now, i sit up and look at her.

"Why would Selena have a meeting with Stefan?"

"Ssh.."

"You don't refer to the moon goddess by her name. We call her Luna or better still give her the title" I roll my eyes.

Okay, I knew about Selena from the numerous books I've read. There was a time I wanted to find who I was, so I read so many books, historic magazines and unfortunately I could not find myself being any kind. I was just human.

"Why would a goddess meet a mortal?" I asked to correct myself. "We aren't mortals." She reminded me. "Whatever." I roll my eyes again, getting impatient with her late response to my question.

"The moon goddess is the one who assigns soulmates to supernatural beings. Beings like casters, mermaids, werewolves, vampires, dragons and so on. I guess all the gods and goddesses of Athens have work to do on us. Coming to your question.."

I nodded to this, reminding one particular book I read that from.

"In the book of the witches, there were two casters, the light and darkness. Minerva Helena and Ursula Cordelia used to be best friends.

They were both the last witches to survive the huge war with the vamps. They decided to create more witches after the death of other witches and so they went around the world initiating more people into the coven.

Helena left the coven, she met a human and fell in love with him, the human was her mate. She returned with him and tried to initiate him as others but the human never wanted to be a witch. Helena didn't want to go against her human mate, she then decided to stop the initiations of humans against their will, which Cordelia became against for the first time.

This resulted in a fight among the two witches, during the fight, her mate was killed by Cordelia. With sorrow and grief, she laid a curse on Cordelia and brought her darkness which led the goddess of darkness to settle in her soul.

Helena killed herself to seal the curse, witches can not cast a spell on one another but a witch with royal blood can. Helena was born a princess so the royal blood runs through her blood. The curse laid on Cordelia spread through her and into only those she initiated through the bond. The darkness in her couldn't stay with the other witches, so they were sent away from coven and that came about the existence of the bad and good witches. The clan of Ursula and Minerva."

As Cali left for whatever business she had to do, I sat on the bed memorizing every word she said to me.

She came out later on, and sat on the bed with me.

"Why was he hard on me?I never made myself his soulmate." I couldn't help but ask her. "Stefan had always wished for a lesser being in power as his mate. He feels insecure about it.
