Chapter 11: The Goddess

MIRANDA'S POV -

I tried to open my eyelids but to no avail. So, I just stayed as I was, without budging.

I felt like as if I had a massive hangover but nevertheless, tried to recount the events which had led me to this state. And then it all came rushing back to me.

Samarah in a pool of blood, carried by someone, my rising anger, Kendall screaming something incoherent in the background as something snapped in me and everything just went blank.

I shot up on the bed, breathing heavily as I debated the past events to be some drug induced hallucinations or the reality.

My eyes widened at the sight of the familiar man on our door, as he simply froze noticing me.

The massive headache I had woken up with just thrummed even more in my head, when I felt a familiar hand perch on my shoulder.

It was Kendall's and had definitely stopped me from hyperventilating as a sudden cool rushed over me immediately easing me up. Ok weird.

Kendall's soft voice hit my ears next," He will not harm you."

" I know.", my own voice cut through before I could realise what I had said. Kendall's brows furrowed as the frozen man's form at the door visibly relaxed.

I continued," I don't know why but I can just feel that he isn't a threat." Kendall and the man shot each other knowing glances before the man slowly started to pace inside the room.

Then my eyes found their way across the room to Samarah as a soft gasp escaped my lips before asking," Is she ok?" Kendall replied with concern," Her health hasn't detoriated over the last few hours except for catching a mild fever. If she lasts tonight successfully, only then can we be sure that she will recover or else.....", her voice trailed off certainly with a lump in her throat.

My eyes turning glassy, I shot back," Why not take her to the hospital then?", " I wish we could.", Kendall replied.

What the fuck does that even mean?

What could be more important than this? Do you guys not have enough money to get her into a hospital? What is it?

I screamed internally and the man's voice cut in," To understand that first you need to tell me, do you believe in vampires and werewolves?".

I gulped before answering," Yeah. Maybe.", my head bouncing back to memories of me obsessing over werewolves and vampires and desperately wanting to become one after watching Twilight on t.v. as a pre-teen.

Then the mystery man continued," The fact is that they very much are real and you are very important to both of our communities, great Luce Mia."

Kendall threw daggers at him while he continued with an enraged tone," She has to know at some point and judging by the circumstances, now would be the best time to reveal it."

My chest tightened as I scooted towards the opposite side of the bed, away from both of them.

Where the hell were they getting at?

Surely both of them had guessed my discomfort as both of them looked towards me and took a minute to compose themselves before Kendall continued, her voice dripping honey," I need you to completely trust me and I can assure you that this is no sick joke. But mystical beings such as vampires and werewolves exist and I myself am a werewolf while Damon here, my ex is a vampire and you are somethi g more powerful than us."

That was a lot of information for me to register in five seconds.

My entire life got turned upside down and suddey Kendall has an ex? And what about me?

Who the fuck am I?

But again what the fuck has all of this got to do with Samarah being taken to the hospital?

I think that I said this out loud as Damon continued," Yeah we'll get to that eventually. But first let me tell you about the most feared prophecy of both of our kinds that is happening at present."

Kendall unexpectedly cut in," You know the prophecy is not fearsome according to everybody. Some of us actually welcome it."

Damon threw an annoyed glance at Kendall as I was beginning to see why they had broken up.

"You know we can always get into politics later. For now understanding the prophecy is the most important for her."

Damon shifter his gaze from Kendall to me before explaining," So according to this prophecy a Goddess will be born during the time of civil unrest between vampires and werewolves, whose origins will be unknown to both the communities. This Goddess will represent light while her other half will represent darkness. And together, they will bring about peace and harmony among both the communities or destroy them for forever."

Damon paused letting all of that to sink in for a few minutes before saying," Since the Goddess will be born human, she will have protectors from both the races as well as she will only be able to unlock her full powers only after stepping into adulthood. And as the time comes for her 18th birthday, her powers along with her guardians will increase as they reach their true potential. However, the destinies of the two tribes shall be decided on time on her 20th birthday, after she finally encounters her counterpart."

I prayed in my head,'Don't say it..don't say it.' but Kendall butt in," And you Miranda, are the Goddess of light. You are our Luce Mia"
