THE HIDDEN LUNA

Prophercy

Aria's Pov

The weather was warm. Perfect. The rune tattoes that covered his body I could now see him much clearer, bright white hair and green eyes that illuminated like stars.

But my heart was still broken. Hollow. Just like it was few days back.

I still hadn't seen him.

I thought that, somehow he would come and find me. And tell me he wanted me as his mate and no one else. But now with no sight of him, it dawned on me properly that he really dosen't want me.

"Stop thinking of him, you are worth more than you think, and he will see that in due time."

I paid no attention to what he just said he dosen't no me or him.Where are we going?

"Home. A place safe for people like us."

What do you mean, by people like us. Look Ichabod am nothing like you and I think i will like to go back to my pack now.

"Firstly, you and I are the same weren't as different as you think and secondly what pack? those people who treat you like nothing."

I rather go back to them, then go with you to somewhere I don't know and with someone I know nothing about.

"You know me, you just don't remember it yet, but trust me you know me."

I could still here the whimpering of my wolf—a cry in my mind that never seems to stop. The shattered bond pulled at my heart like a dagger stabbed too deep within my soul, always pulling me toward him. And it was driving me insane with need of him.

I pulled it deep inside my mind and just tried to figure out what was in front of me, and how I was like him but not like him at the same time.

But somehow my agitation to be close to jacob locksmith grew stranger almost like a neccessity, which made my wolf restless.

Please Ichabod I must return back to the territory, I need to speak with jacob.

"Even if it means you die! he dosen't want you period. Move on already."

That between he and I to discuss and not you. So please you either take me back or I leave myself.

"Once you are in there again I won't come for you when you are in trouble, you be on your own."

I'm always on my own, so take me back.

By night fall, I laid down on my bed and all I could do was toss and turn, as though sleep itself was afraid of me.

Unable to keep fighting the pull I allowed it lead me to him.

Thoughts went through my mind—what do I say when I see him? I told myself I would ask him why, the rejection. What exactly do I lack so I could be enough for him, to understand and plead with him that we could give our selves a try, and I was willingly to give anything to make him accept me as his mate.

But I knew the truth. That my silly hopes and dreams would be shattered.

I had somehow within the last few days become like those girls that will kill for a man's approval.

I got to where the pull had lead me to, but he was long gone. Weeks past and today made it a month since the "mating ceremony" and I haven't heard or seen him or even Ichabod.

Until now, when my world stopped again. I saw him on the feild training, it seemed had extended his vist after the "mating ceremony".

He stood in the middle of the feild training by himself, tall frame moving seemlessely through his training techniques.

My wolf chanted in joy inside my mind "It mate."

Maybe finally we would have those conversations on-replay in my head.

I hurried toward him, my legs moving quickly.

"Alpha, please. Can I have a moment of your time?"

He kept traning.

Jacob my lips spoke his name.

He ran for the hill, disappering into the forest.

And I chased him. Actually chased him like some deringed woman.

The bushes were thick and it itches the skin, the world spinned but i kept moving when suddenly my head felt heavy as my heart beat increases.

My legs felt heavy but the same time weak, and I fell backward down the hill.

My lungs burned and my chest acheing. Then I gave into the darkness.

When I woke up, i was in a different room, and Ichabod knelt beside the bed, his hand holding mine tightly.

His face held worry, but was still smiling "Thank the goddess" he said. "You had me worried a bit."

My head achead, and my lungs still stung from the pain from earlier, through it was a bit better. What happened?

He looked like he didn't want to say, but at the same time he must. What... What happened?

"Nothing I wasn't expecting..... remember how I told you we might be the same." He took a breath. "Your" powers are awakening."

What!? I tried to steady my heart. What do you mean by my powers, I don't have any I can rest assure you of that.

"That was why I said I would take you home, someplace safe for people like us."

That word people like us, I'm nothing like you okay, am not some half breed, something ambinable.I paused immdiately those words left my lips.

No am sorry I don't mean it like that. It just I really don't know you or this home you speak of.

And I can assure I don't have any powers, if I did I think I would have noticed by now. So Ichabod maybe you have me mixed up with some else.

"I don't have you mistaken, and I know this is a lot to take in, but trust me when I say this you have powers really strong, and if we stay here when it surfaces certain people will come for you."

"You turn twenty -one in a few days right? Have you felt any strange sensation in your hands before now."

Well only once, and it was a year ago but I dindn't think it was anything, I use my hands a lot for work and must time it goes numb.

"That wasn't because of work, it was an early sign of your powers. Now do you belive me."

I took a deep breath, still not wanting to be trusting of him. So am I ...like you know..

"Like me? No you are nothing like me.

You are stronger and important, take your rest, Aria we have a long journey ahead of us."

I didn't know wheather to feel happy or devastated. The realization hit so fast it sole my breath away. This changes everything if true, would I become even more Isolated if they realize am different and would he see me as a worthy mate and accept me now?

I looked at Ichabod, what do you think this powers of mine might be.

"Don't know it varies according to bloodlines and Individual. But from what I gathered or rather say what I know, your bloodline is a bit complicated."

Complicated How?

"Look I can't say much here, for I fear they might be listening in."

Who is they? Ichabod! Who is they "Some well non-associate of mine."

I immdiately turned around taking in the environment Properly, where exactly are we right now Ichabod.

"Inside of a tree."

This is a joke Isn't it. How are we inside a tree?

"If you are to survive the coming days you must keep an open mind."

I shaked my head frantically, this is stupid, I'm stupid, I must leave immdiately.

"Again!, still don't belief me do you?"

Well am afraid I can't let you go this time, we don't have time for your doubt, they will catch up to us sooner or later."

So am I your prisoner now? Is that it.

"If it means taking you along, then yes Aria you are my prisoner."

Can't wait I pulled the covers away. I need to get away from him right now.

I wasn't going to wait a minute. This was my life on the line. He had his back turned toward the fire.

I ran towards the nearest hallway, it was decorated by ancient ruines and designs the wall of had some battle descriptions all over it.

This side of the hallway had a window, so I ran for it and leaped out. But the moment my feet touched ground I was back inside the tree again.Frustrated and angrily walked back towrds the way i came.

I was half way down the hallway when I heard voices, his voice and another.

I slowed, nerve tightening. My hands moved to my chest as some sheild, i was trembling from fear. What have I gotten myself into. Goddess please guide me.

I moved closer to the edge of the entrance, then I heard their conversation.

"She needs some time" Ichabod voice was low and calm, filled with so much emotions.

"Time is something, we don't have.

In case I have to remind you clayton we need her or we are all doomed so either you find a way to convince her willingly to comeback home or I will bring her back here unwillingly."

My breath caught in my lungs.

And my legs almost gave out on me.

"And how certain are we that she can handle this obligation my lord?" Ichabod asked.

"She as to. The Prophecy demand the life of the sacred bloodline." The other man had zero compassion in his zone.

"Willingly, my lord let not forget. If this battle coming must be won, it has to be done on her own terms, it either that or we all die either way. So despite your urgency we can't force her to raise to her destiny if she dosen't want to?"

I'm certaintly running as far away from this people as soon as I get the opportunity.

The other man laughed loudly, the sound filled with amusement. "Belief me when I say this she will raise to the occasion willingly."

My trembling hand clenched over my racing heart.

I moved quitely from the hallway. Years of being invisible had taught me to move without drawing attention.

I sat down on the floor, I shut my eyes.

And presed my face within my palms and gently choked my tears.

"What part did you hear."

All of it. How I'm suppose to sacrifice myself for some battle that I know nothing of, with or without my constant apprently.

"I know this is hard for you and I'm deeply sorry to have dumped this on you, but we must leave from here now!"

You don't get it do you? My whole life and dreams has been shattered and all you want to do is force me to leave the only place that is close to my world?

"Yes. That the only way that I can currently ensure your safety for now."

And what about my life, you know everything.

"He dosen't deserve you."

You don't know that okay, he might just be sacred or blackmailed.

"I'm sorry for this." For what?

Then the world went completely dark.
