Broken and Redeemed

Chapter 2- Dream

Isabella P.O.V.

I open my eyes to see a beautiful sight. I'm in a field in the middle of the woods. I see a waterfall feeding a beautiful pond. The pond itself is so blue. There's no way this is real. I must be dead. I wouldn't mind, this place is beautiful. "No child, you are not dead, just sleeping while you heal. I have brought you here so I can talk with you. Things will be changing in your life and I want you to have an idea. I can't answer everything with straightforward questions, but I will answer what I can." Wow, this woman is gorgeous. She must be an angel. "Haha no Isabella, I am no angel, but I am the moon goddess Selene. I have a story I need to tell you before time runs out. I have a person who has been looking over you since you started living with those humans, and she is worried this last beating has really done some damage." I hear a low growl and jump, startled by the huge wolf I see walking towards us coming out of the woods. She is beautiful. I want her. Is it even a her? Yes, it is. I just know it. "Very good Isabella. This beautiful creation of mine is a werewolf. Her name is Evie. Evie is special. She was born of two different species. A fae, and yes, that is like a fairy, and a werewolf. She has abilities from her fae side, but her werewolf genes are very strong as she is technically an alpha female. There are few like her due to my children rejecting their fated mates and taking chosen ones. They believe they are doing it to have strong pups, but in reality they are just weakling themselves, their children and their packs. You are different than humans, Isabella. Those fantasy dreams you have about your parents are real. They are what you think they are. They miss you so much. They did what they thought was best for you, but they didn't expect you to be ambushed and kidnapped on the way to where they were sending you to hide. They didn't go because it was all secret. You need to know that someone is working against the royals of all species. This person has help in all kingdoms. He wants all the power because he feels cheated out of the power he thought he deserved. He didn't. His mindset was cruel. He would have destroyed my people. You would have been in extreme danger had you stayed with your family. He knows your lineage. He knows the prophecy about the daughter who is a hybrid with powers no one will believe. Your parents were meant to be, but old rules and the separation between supernatural species caused them to separate. They have already mated once, but once with your true mate is all it takes. You were created and born. When he found out about you, he wanted you. He wants you to make him stronger. The prophecy states that the daughter's mate will be stronger faster and have some abilities. He wants you to make him powerful so he can take over the world, including the humans. The humans you live with are in cahoots with a dark witch who is helping the man that wants you. The humans don't know exactly what truly is going on, but they are so greedy they would do anything for more money. They don't realize the danger they brought onto themselves. I personally won't be helping them or sending help to them after what they have done to you. They deserve the fall they will receive. Now, my child, I have given you a start. I know it's not much, and you have so many questions, but I need you to remember the first 5 years of your life. I know it's hard, but you need to before you leave after your graduation. Go to California like you planned. Leave immediately after you graduate, time will be of the essence. When you wake up, please listen to the lady I placed in your path to help you."

Okay, that is a lot of information to take in because it mostly seems like a fantasy. I don't even have time to ask questions as I feel a heaviness take over my body. My body feels like it's been hit by a truck and my back is on fire. My right leg has this massive stinging sensation that makes me want to cry out in pain when I try to shift around. Blinking my eyes open, I quickly shut them again because this light is harsh that, along with the pain my whole body is feeling, makes me groan in pain. "Hey princess, you had me scared." I know that voice, which is my personal maid, Cindy. "Here, drink this and give it about 5 minutes. You should start to feel the potion work on your wounds and pain." She holds a cup with a straw to my lips, and I drink it greedily, not realizing how thirsty I was. Once it's gone, she takes it away. She comes back and holds my hand, worry and pain etched all over her face. My body starts to feel better, but then I realize that she said potion. Surely that is just another word for medicine, right? My face must show my confusion because she started to speak again.

"I know you had a chat with the moon goddess. I am a witch. I was told by her moon sister 13 years ago that I was needed as a servant for a human family. I never questioned my goddesses, so I left my coven with permission and came here. I was not expecting to help raise and aid the hybrid in the prophecy. Many supernatural species elders who have sworn loyalty to our mood goddess have been waiting for your arrival. You will be the one to unite all species and bring peace between the supernatural species. I'm sorry, princess, for not telling you the truth sooner, but I had to wait til it was time." Wait, so, this woman who I thought has been my personal maid. Someone who has always helped me. Cindy has always been more than maid to me. She cared for me when I was sick, injured, and heartbroken with missing and wondering if my real family missed me. She has been more of a mother to me than my adopted mother. I even call her mama Cindy. I'm still don't know if I believe this supernatural s**t though. "I see confusion and disbelief all over your face. Let me show you," Cindy says as she lifts her hand and waves it around the air, but it's the floating objects that catch my attention. WOAH... "Are you doing this, mama Cindy?" she simply nods. I gape at the woman before me, my caregiver and, in all senses of the word, mother. Well, I guess my dream was real, which means I am about to learn more stuff I always believed was fantasy.
