My Little Flower

The Dream

(Wildflower)

I hear the wind playing with the canopy of trees, above me. Together they made a haunting but sweet melody. I have been here before when I was a child. Every once in a while I would dream about this place. I felt someone brush my hair out of my face. "Open your eyes, little one." A soft voice says above me. My eyes started to open slowly, seeing the trees I know so well. Still laying down I see the sky is still grey. I have never seen it any other color. Sitting up I turn to the source, there sat a young woman who face looked much like mine own. Her hair was black but her eyes were the near the same golden color as mine.

"Who are you?" I couldn't help but ask as I stare at the woman.

"My name is Leah and I'm your great-aunt." She smiles at me with such warmth.

"Why are you here?"

"To make sure you get to see her without being interrupted."

"Who?"

Her smile widens, "The one who started this cycle."

"What do you mean this cycle?"

"Do you know that the world at one point had lost its magic? People had drained it all, never giving back, all ways taking. When magic came back people where still greedy. No one wanted to give up even a small percentage of their powers. The gods weren't happy that the people only thought about themselves. Thinking that they were just as powerful as the gods. There was one soul that was always willing to help. Back then mad one's as you know them ran a muck. All of us where human once, we where given powers to protect others. While others where given powers because of their dedication to their god or goddesses. Instead they used it for their own selfish needs. Whether it was for them to rule or to gain more power. One soul didn't have power, she could borrow the power the of all around her. Even though she had no power of her own she help all who crossed her path. The gods and goddesses wanted to test her when she spoke up and said you will never change my true self. So all of the gods and goddesses gave her the power of others. Some of the gods and goddesses wanted to break her while others wanted to support her. Over time the gods would realize what they had done. They taught her the power of the gods. She learned that all of the gods survive on the living. Each god has their own way of doing things as you know. Yet with all that power she tried her hardest to not use her gifts. Only when there was no other option did she use them. When the time came some of the gods came to cleanse the world, the woman appeared to stop them. She had the power of all and yet it wasn't the same. You see she had a gift that was never giving to her by the gods, one that all are given but take for granted. Seven life times she had before facing them all. It was time for her judgment, for all, yet she fought for all to give all souls more time. Now we are at the end of another cycle and the gods are coming."

"What does any of this have to do with me?"

"You are that soul, well a part of you is."

"You're saying that I have had six past lives?"

"Well technically you have had thirteen ."

"And Olivia?"

"Yes even she, but the reason Olivia can communicate with her past lives is because of you."

"What do you mean because of me?"

"The night you where born you also used your power to protect yourself. By activating your power you also woke Olivia's power. The more you use your power the more others around you will awaken."

"Alright so who am I supposed to meet? I understand myself but not, what ever, but what's her name, or I guess my name then?"

Leah stands up and reaches her hand out for me to take. "It is time for you to meet your old self."

I grumble under my breath, "That's not an answer." Leah starts laughing, I'm pretty sure she heard me. As I stood I noticed something else we did not share our heights. She being much taller than me, it was more noticeable when she stood next to me, she being a foot taller. As we walk through the forest getting closer to a clearing up a head. I couldn't help but ask. "Are you my past life?" "No I wasn't, but yes I was able to channel her power, well partly." As we reach the clearing I see a beautiful lake with moon flowers growing in the lake. Looking closely at the flowers I noticed they didn't look like the ones back on Eclipse land.

"What happened to them?" I ask, after not hearing a response I turn to see she was gone. "Selfishness, is what happened here." A voice says across the lake. "Pride really was the biggest factor here." Looking across the lake is a woman wearing a cloak, I couldn't make out her features.

"Who are you?"

"You mean what is my name?"

"Well yes, you got me out here, giving me cryptic messages, what else?" I was getting frustrated with all of the cryptic answers.

A laugh filters through the trees around us. "I will tell you my name at the end of our meeting, I promise. Do you know where we are?"

I sigh nodding my head. "We are at the moon lake I take it."

"Very good and do you know why these flowers are different from their counterparts that grow in the forest?"

Now this had me interested, I shook my head.

"For where there is light there is dark, for where there is dark there is light. Leah had tried to force awaken me in the process she tainted these flowers. She wasn't the only one but she was the only one that tried to fix the damage she did. By the time she realized what she had done the only way to fix it was to give her life to seal as many of the mad one's, as you know them, in a different dimension. She had been blessed at a young age but instead of helping others she helped herself. Instead of taking care of the weak she took care of those that paid the most. She claimed a man that wasn't her true mate, all because he has power. It was the fact that she didn't want to give him up was her down fall. If she had let him go she would of found her true mate, had many children. You being one of her children, instead she claimed another. The man who was supposed to be Leah's mate, was given a new mate. His name is Rico and you will meet him soon. You let that brute of a man that goes by Beast know the real you. That you are not Leah, no matter how much you two look a like, you are not her. Though the real beast in him knows what you are to them. The wolf in him had been asleep many years. Him waking up had to do with a friend of yours. You had managed to make a friend that had refused to interact with the world at one time. You managed to do what some many others could not, get his trust. Even I am interested in seeing what you make of this world. You have experienced so much at such a young age. Let everyone know that you are stronger than they would like to think. You have to find out what makes you different from all of your past lives. For the soul changes with time but the core of one's soul still remains the same."

"What are you asking me to do? What do you mean the real beast knows what I mean to him? What is he to me?" I was confused with what she was saying, find what makes me different. How do I do that? My head a grumbled mess I couldn't even think straight.

"Don't worry you will have help. Don't forget you are surrounded by loved ones they will help. Also a friend has sent Elijah and Eric to help be a buffer of some sorts for you. It's time for you to go, you have much to learn and very little time."

She turned to leave but stopped when I called out to her. "What's your name?" The same question I have had all through this weird dream. "My name is Kiara." I heard her say before darkness took over me again. The next thing I know is I'm laying on a familiar bed with something or I should say someone laying over me growling. I couldn't help but wonder why he is always growling around me.

"No one is touching her! I'll kill anyone who tries to take her from me!" A roaring growling grump was shaking my bed and in turn was shaking me. While he pressed further on me, like he was trying to shield me from something. What is he trying to shield me from? I don't know.What the hell happened while I was out and why is he so angry? I don't know. Well I guess it's time to let them know I'm awake.
