The Prophecy of Hydrangea

SIX *MUMMY IS MY SUPER HUMAN*

Andrea’s POV

I tossed and turned on my bed, as I felt some presence in my room. From my instincts, it should be around 7:00am, and it’s rather too early for me to be disturbed. I wasn’t going to school today, because today is a Saturday. So why this early morning disturbance.

I tried to ignore whoever or whatever it was that choose today of all days to disturb me.

But then I could recollect, oh yessss today is my birthday, I will be thirteen years old today and of course there is going to be a very big party.

I reached out for my iphone, yes I need to send a reminder to my friends about the party, they have to be here early enough to help me get ready.

The party is scheduled to begin by 6:00pm, but I wouldn’t take any chances. And just then I heard my mother’s voice.

“Wakie wakie, sleepy head, little thirteen years old princess”

“Happy birthday Andrea darling” my father puts in.

I turned her head and opened my eyes to see my parents standing in my room. My father was carrying a big birthday cake, and my mother was holding a big and lovely birthday card with birthday message boldly written on it.

The omegas behind them were all carrying different gifts wraps which are in different shapes and sizes.

My eyes glowed with excitement as I scanned through the room. I notice Betty holding a nice pink and sky blue lovely gown covered in a transparent bag.

This gown must be the best thing I have ever seen apart from flowers, I thought as my eyes remained glued on the gown. I slowly sat on the bed with my eyes still fixated on the gown.

Obviously, my mum noticed and gave Betty a sign to get the gown to me. Betty handed the gown to me, but I couldn’t bring myself to take it, I only stared in bewilderment. I pointed to the wardrobe, signalling her to take it into the wardrobe, which she did.

I stood up from the bed, my eyes directed at my lovely parents. I screamed out in excitement and rushed and hugged the both of them.

“I love you both very much, beyond words can explain” I said as I released them from my grip.

“We love you too baby” my father responded.

“okay everyone, take the gifts into her wardrobe and leave” my mother instructed.

The omegas took the gifts to the wardrobe as they were told and left.

My mother and father came and sat on the bed beside me and both held me tightly. My father was the first to speak.

“My Andrea, all these years I have watched you grow was both a lovely and terrifying experience for me. Not knowing what would happen next has caused me great worries. My little princess”

He chuckled, pats my back and continued.

“My little princess you are, and my little princess you will remain no matter at whatever speed you decide to grow”

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. I couldn’t help but give my father a big hug.

He continues “My Andrea, I both admire and envy your strength, your resilience and optimism at all times is worth emulating.”

“I love you Andrea, and I wish you victory in whatever battle that you engage dear. Happy birthday once again my Andrea, you are light and beauty to all of us at the Great Crest Pack and always remember we are ever ready to lay down our lives to protect you”

My father’s words were like a sharp sword that pierced through my soul, just that this particular sword only soothes my soul.

“Daddy, I appreciate your kind wishes towards me, I have no cause to doubt your genuine and unwavering love for me and I sincerely appreciate it. You have been my backbone daddy, and anytime I see you, I know that winning is the only option that is available to me. You are the best daddy.” I said.

I turned to my mother and said to her.

“You don’t need to say anything mummy, your feelings are forever incrested in my heart. I love you mummy and thanks for accepting me just the way I am”

“My daughter”

My mother began

“I can’t ask for any other child better than you. If given the opportunity, I will request for you over and over again. Your love completes me Andrea.”

Hearing these words coming from my mother melted my heart. She is my sanity. I live and breath only her.

Sometimes, I wish I know just as much as she wishes to know. I wish I have answers to all her questions. Even without getting the answers she seek, she never allows that to deter her from loving me just as she ought to.

Her strength amazes me. If she can still freely give out love even in her confusion, then who am I to question the little knowledge that I am privileged to.

My mother is my super human.

“Mummy, you and daddy are the best thing to ever happen to me. You are my family in word and in truth, you are my reality. I love you”. I said.

“We love you angel” my mother and father chorused.

“Mummy, daddy, let me go and freshen up. I must confess my day began in the best note. Thanks to you two.” I said.

“We are still here angel, we are yet to get tired of seeing your lovely face” my father replied.

“Take your time dear we aren’t going anywhere”. My mother supported.

*********************************

I went into the bathroom, and as I cleaned up, I can’t help but reminisce on just how fortunate I am with this two lovely people as my parents, growing up with them had been the best thing that have ever happened to me.

My father might be overly protective, but I think I understand his fears. My life has been totally different from those of my peers and I appear to always be in one trouble or the other with creatures I can’t begin to explain to anyone, creatures no one would believe existed.

But then, how do I make my father to understand that most times, I don’t direct my own free will, that it’s as if my life is left at the mercy of destiny, that which I must fulfill.

At times, I get scared not knowing what exactly I am up against, but looking at my mother, I have learnt that life should be lived at the moment, that is, one at a time.

I know she gets scared and worried at some point, but she never allowed those times affect her present.

I need my father as much as I need my mother. Both complement each other in my life, they are the compass with which I navigate through life. I bless the moon goddess for this great gifts.

***********************************

Immediately I was done in the bathroom, I went into my wardrobe to put on something nice and comfy, I picked a nice fancy pink short gown. I quickly dressed up because the two most important persons in my life shouldn’t be kept waiting longer than necessary.

I went into my room for my mother to comb my hair and apply a little makeup on my face. Only she and Betty are the ones in charge of my hair. My friends laugh at me anytime I tell them I can’t comb my hair or any other hair for that matter.

My mother arranged my hair and applied a little makeup on my face.

“Mummy, please help me send out a reminder to all my friends. Remember they have to be here before the party starts”

“No problem darling, I would do just that.” My mother replied.

“How is your morning going to be Princess?” my father asked.

“Daddy, I would like to go to the garden, Dahlia needs to get out. I guess the whole excitement for today is getting too much for she to handle, and of course for me too”

“No problem Andrea, but you would be going with my gamma, Jasper. I just mind linked him, he would be here in a moment.” My father said.

“It was supposed to be a me time daddy, not for third parties” I frowned.

“You can have your me time Andrea, Jasper would only be some miles around you, just within the vicinity.” My father explained.

I signed “no problem daddy, I will be back in time for breakfast”

“mummy you can send the reminder with my iphone, I wouldn’t be going with it” I said to my mother.

“But why Andrea?” My mother asked.

“Since uncle Jasper is tagging along, I can as well leave the phone here. Moreover, I don’t need any disturbance”.

“Mummy, I am yet to respond to my birthday messages, will do that when I get back.” I said.
