The Fate of the Unknown

Chapter 32: Selene

Everything is dark. I’m probably bleeding out. I really hope that Gentri wouldn’t fall for this trap. He’s smarter than that, and deserves someone better. Before I just thought Kaylee was mean, apparently she’s actually evil. I feel bad for her mate.

My thoughts are distracted by a small white light I can see far away. Huh. I wonder what that is? I start to walk towards it. Weird. I can walk. I’m either dead, or dreaming. The light is getting brighter. Soon I see a pond, it has the reflection of the moon on it. Next to the pond is a large white wolf. With the way the moon is shinning off of their fur, they look beautiful.

“Well I appreciate that” Nala said.

What? I am very confused. I can hear her laughing as the wolf comes near me. Before I would have been scared, but I didn’t feel any fear towards this wolf. It came and kneeled in front of me. Allowing me to pet their head. The wolf tilted its head up, allowing me to look in their eyes.

“Hello Alexis. I know this seems odd, but you need to trust me. Someone important brought us here while you are unconscious, NOT dead. I am to lead you to her.” Nala announces with pride.

“Wait, this white wolf is you, Nala?” I ask out loud this time.

“Yes. And when you turn 18, and you transform, this white wolf will be you.” She replied. “Now follow me.”

I did as she said and followed her. Where is this place? Who are we going to see? Why would they bring us here?

We reach the top of what looked like a mountain, and stopped . This place is so weird. Where are we?

“You are in a dream world. You are safe here. No one will cause you harm. I brought you here because I need to talk to you. Our time is limited, so we need to get right to it.” Announced the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

She was tan with long wavy white hair, her eyes are dark with specks of light in them, her body is curvy but slim. The dress she is wearing is white and flowing, trailing on the ground all around her.

“Are you the moon goddess?” Is all I could get out.

She lets out a light chuckle and smiles at me. “Yes my child. You may call me Selene.”

I smile in return and nod.

“I brought you both here for a reason. Right now there are two paths we see you taking. One being the right one, and one being the beginning of doom. Your father has mentioned the fact that he believes a war is coming. Unfortunately he is not wrong. You are the only one who can prevent it.” Selene announced sadly.

“Me? How can I prevent a war? This makes zero sense to me. I am not even 18 yet!” I reply confused more than ever.

“Oh sweet child, you are more powerful than you think. The war isn’t predicted to start for a few years. Right now, you need to focus on the positives, and not let anyone sway you into becoming bad. Your soul is full of light and love. Don’t let anyone change that. The powers you possess need to be in the hands of someone who is pure of heart. If someone evil were to have them, the fate of everyone and everything could come to an end.” She started looking worried.

“I feel I’m usually a good person. Is that why you brought us here? Have you seen me turn evil?” I ask terrified of her answer.

She paused for a moment, then answers me. “Unfortunately yes. The way the kids are treating you and after your sister transforms, you feel alone and fed up with the treatment from the other kids. Something inside you changes. You need to fight those feelings. Stay true to who you are. You are light and you are love. You are stronger than you will ever know.” She says again and then everything started to fade.

“Wait! How will I know what to do???” I yell as this dream world started to vanish.

“All of these answers are inside of you. Goodbye Alexis.” She says with a smile.

Next thing I know I’m awake and in a bright hospital room. I can barely open my eyes, the light is so bright. I can hear panicked voices.

“Can someone please dim the lights or something.” I ask. The light is hurting my head.

Causing all of the chaos to halt. The lights dim some, making it easier to open my eyes. Well the one was still hard to see out of. I can see my dad, Isabella, Caitlyn, Gentri, Maverick, and a bunch of nurses.

The door opens and in walks Dr Sienna Plum. She looks at the chart and then walks through everyone to get to me. “Well hello there Alexis. You gave us quite the scare today. I’m glad you’re back with us. I am going to give you a full exam, one person can stay in here. The rest of the party can go into the hallway.” She said.

Everyone but my dad and Caitlyn left.

“Ok fine, 2 people. We need to do a full exam and then we need to know what happened, and who did this to you. Normally we’d have to get the written report and take it to the Alpha, and he would decide what to do with the person or people who did this. He’s in the room so I will still do the report, but this is a quicker process. Will the Luna be back?” She asks glancing at my dad. The door opens and Isabella walks in and stands by my dad.

She starts the exam and it was the most pain I have ever felt. My head is throbbing, I can’t see fully out of my left eye, my chest felt like someone is sitting on me, my leg is causing me such terrible pain, and my arms burns in certain spots.

As she finishes I start puking.

Once I stop puking she starts to go over the report. “Well she has a gash in the back of her head. Seems to be 1/2 an inch below the last gash, this one is longer and deeper. It will need stitches. Her eye is pretty swollen, but should go down in a few days. There will be a pretty nasty bruise there. She has a few broken ribs that I could feel. She has deep rope burns on her forearms. They will need to stay clean and they will heal over time. The bone sticking out of her leg is a clear sign that I need to fix it in a cast. If you had your wolf, your healing would be fast. Since you are a human, your healing could take some time. I want to get those stitches done right now and get the cast on. I’m going to have the nurse clean your rope burns, put ointment on, and wrap them. The wraps will need to be changed 2-3 times a day.” She informs me and then starts with the stitches. She had to shave some of my hair to do it. The hair was finally starting to grow back from the last time… Damn.

“Ok, what color do you want for your cast? I can pretty much do any color.” She asks.

“Green, please.” I say trying to not puke again.

They have to put me back to sleep to do surgery to fix my leg. I was ok with that. I need a break from reality for the moment.

They wheel me back, and transfer me to the operating room. Then they put an oxygen mask over my face and that was it. I was out.
