12-more shocking news

suddenly remember something and she asked " wait....if I am indeed like you all, how am I connected to wasteria and what about you" seeing that she's indeed clueless zera came up to say " your mother"

"What?" Her mother. It kind of make sense as her mother is dead. It possible show could be the link, but she asked any way "how?"

"Your mother must have been from wasteria as the information about the last member gotten was a woman and that left your mother as the one. Originally we are the second holders of the crystal....our parents were the first' she turned a little gloomy as she talked about it.

" then what happened" Selena asked, were there a base the first holders were at, but the reply she got were " their dead" Selena breath hitched. Could this all be connected. Seeing Selena wild eye . zera softened her face and said " according to what we have gathered it seems it the same for you too. That why you didn't know some thing.....but what about your father. He should have informed you a little about this at least" Selena fell silent as she mentioned her father . with her head lowered she muttered " he's in coma.... For more than a decade" the other felt bad for her...so that explained why she was so clueless about this things.

" I'm sure he'll come back one day" zera said trying to cheer her up which wasn't usually her thing.

Zera the gestured to something on Selena neck. Selena looked down and realized she was gesturing about her necklace.

This was the necklace given by her mother and she had it as long as she could remember as it was the only thing that linked to her past. It was a silver Chain necklace. " and has a snowflake pendant with beautiful icy silver colour. It looked really unique.

"That's your mother's right" zera asked . Selena raised her head from studying the necklace once again. How did they know. Even she can't remember almost anything from her past. Her mind was blocked. She often wonders if it was trauma.....zera chuckled " that's the way we found you. Once you used your powers the necklace then acted as a tracker to find the last member" Selena was a little happy that she was now part of their group for a good cause.

" we have been trying to track you. But one day which was the day you must have accidentally used your hidden powers was the day our tracker located you and that how we arrived on time...at least you were in this city".

" if you're are thinking how it possible, it's because you're not alone" and in sync they all pulled out their own necklace and shockingly that when Selena realized they were wearing necklace. Were she blind that she couldn't see it before. They were all wearing necklace but there were like gem stones that was carved, it varies in different colours, that Selena found significantly like them. Fiona gem stone was green just like her eyes. Zera's was violet, Brandon was blue the same shade as his eyes and same thing for Raymond. The different colours gleaming in the dull lighting of the room looked beautiful and pleasant to see. Selena look at them in awe and subconsciously looked at her that she now notice were glowing faintly like the others were. After showing her their gem they tucked it back into their clothes.

"Now you see we all have one, and you are not alone" Selena nods absent minded and then slowly parted her lips and said " but why is mine some how different from yours. I have the design of a snow flake but you guys have just gemstone cut, the only difference is the colour" as Raymond heard her, he paused before he then said " actually there is a reason for that......Among the gem holders there is a selected leader. Apparently you mum was suppose to be the leader if that group, but she didn't want to....so my dad was then appointed as the leader by her....the leading didn't matter as they just cared about getting the task done, but unfortunately they couldn't. But we hope to finish what they started. We are gonna save wisteria " he then whispered " I hope" bit they all heard it but decided to keep quiet. The room was then plunged into silence, as everyone was buried in their own thoughts.

Zera then coughed to clear the tension " its getting late now. Where us she gonna stay, should she go back home or.... " she then shrugged as if she didn't care. But hearing this selena sprang up. " you're right, It must be getting late by now "

she then pulled a smile as she face them " thanks for accepting me as part of this good deed. I hope together we would achieve what the previous guardians couldn't. We would make them proud and restore the glory back to wisteria ". Hearing her little speech light up their heart and left a good impression on them bit not all showed their acceptance so easily.

Raymond then said " there is a new way to go home now, you can even cone by through it"

"How?" Selena asked

He gestured to her necklace with His hand and said " just hold it and vision you home or here or even where you would like to go and you would automatically be there via portal. But be careful not to be seen by people or it might become complicated. You might be able to summon the portal without holding the necklace when you get better".

Selena nodded after gathering her things,she did as she was instructed and held the necklace as she envision her bedroom in the apartment. Immediately a portal opened it had the colour blue and violet swarming around the water like appearance that makes it look like it was made from water, as she was about to pass through the portal Raymond called out " you can still be the leader as it was rightfully your position ate you untreated. We can guide you" he said calling out for her. While facing the portal Selena craned her neck back and smiled, she shook her head and said " no. You keep it. It suits you quite well. Continue doing a good job and with that she took a step and pass through the portal. It closed and she was then....gone.

Raymond smiled and said " just like her mother. I have a feeling she's gonna be just fine". Since she now part of them she would cone back to inquire from time to time.

In a room, a burst of blue and violet light lit up a corner and the portal fully materialize and Selena steps out of it, she felt her body sway a little and she quickly held on to a table beside her. She sighed "wow, that take a huge toll on me" she said while breathing heavily. She then dragged her body slowly to the bed and sat on it looking exhausted.

She fell into deep thoughts, everything that'd happening to her felt so unreal. Her life was normal until a few days ago as she presumed. Was she really that ignorant of the lies she has been living. Does her father who has been unconscious for more than a decade know what's happening. She remembers that one of the reason the doctors didn't give up on him was because they could not explain his condition, it just didn't make sense to them. According to their findings after all the test he undergo was that he was sleeping, not the normal can type, he was totally fine, he's live was not hanging on any thread , but he was sleeping. All his vitals were fine and he never once undergo any cardiac arrest, but he still won't respond to the outside world. The assumed he was just in a deep sleep. Which was in usual to he done for a decade. But because he was still constantly breathing, they decided not to give up on him and beside all his bills were funded by the company he worked at. Selena hoped her father would wake up, because she had so many un- answered question, and majorly, why could she not remember most of her past memories. It all felt so distant and not within her reach at all.

While Selena was deep in thoughts she didn't notice the shadow outside by her window staring at her with care but regret. The person was covered by a hooded cloak. Which couldn't show it face well, but its piercing silver eyes gleamed in the night, staring at the only person that truly mattered. At that moment the cloaked figure wanted to do so many things, it could en vision itself going in and comforting her. But their was always a barrier a boundary. That steps him every time. His hand clenched at his side, with every restraint. With one one glance at her, he vanished, leaving only a faint trail of most which dispersed so after. At that moment Selena felt the presence that she felt was gone but she quickly turn head to face the direction she has been feeling she was being watched. But as she faced the window there was nothing there. Just the cool gentle wind making the curtain flutter lightly.

At the top of a high building, a cloaked figure materialize out of thin air. It walked to the edge, it light patter of footsteps that seems like he's walking on air sounded soft. Once at the edge he sat down and stared out at the horizon. He could see the full moon hanging in the night sky. It looked so close, he reached up his hand as if to catch it, but he couldn't reach it. He spread out his hand to the moon, looking as the light ray pass through his fingers as he sways it around. the moon, It seemed so close, but yet so far away, just like someone he knows. He sighed in deep thought and drop his hand. He use one of his arms to support himself as the other rest on his propped up leg. His scythe was I'm his hand that was propped up and he sways it time by time looking up at the sky. Seemingly distracted.

This scene was one of a kind. In the dark night a dark hooded figure sat at the edge of a tall building, gazing up at the big round moon lost in thought. Trying to seek comfort from the ray. Be it the side profile or back, he looked breathtakingly ethereal..... But among the twinkling stars and the moon which seems so close, he seemed so lonely and lost.

...........

Beep!!

Beep!!

Beep!!

The piercing sound of the alarm rang in the silence of the room. For the first time Selena jumped up startled by the alarm. Yeah that was partly because she was half awake. She couldn't sleep after all the crazy she has been through. She grumbled and hit the off button and yawned. She ran her hands through her hair that looked like a bird nest and she caught a few strands, which after she looked has the silvery white strands which they say was her original hair colour. She picked up her phone and switched it on. As soon as the phone reboot, Selena was startled by the crazy non stop buzzing coming from her phone. She rubbed her eyes as she checked the notification, even as they still kept coming it. It was the company that she is writing her novels on. And they were so many messages. That Selena could not believe was happening. They were so many offers, she was so confused, what the hell was happening?
