The Prophecy of Hydrangea

Unknown POV Andrea slowly walked through the woods wondering what sound had beckoned on her to keep going deeper into the woods. This isn’t the first time she would be drawn into the woods by the same strange sound, but fear is one thing that is specifically strange to her. She fears nothing even as a little princess of eight years. Andrea is not yet clear as to what her particular purpose is, but she knows she is not like any other average little kids she plays with or even like other little Princesses outside her pack. Amongst the many mysterious strange things that has been happening to Andrea, the one that makes her feel very special but which of course has been a cause of great bother to her father, Alpha Andrew, Alpha of the Great Crest Pack, is the fact that she can already communicate with her wolf right before she turned two. Andrea could not understand why her father was more particular about the lovely name of her wolf. To Andrea, her wolf, Dahlia is the best thing to happen to her after flowers. And as expected, Dahlia loves flowers just as much as Andrea does. Even though sometimes Dahlia makes it look like flowers may pose a great danger to them. On this particular day, Dahlia was the one that had insisted they spend the whole day in their garden located very close to the city spring, which is only but a little distance from the woods. While at the garden, the strange but familiar noise began. It is mixed with all kinds of emotions, filled with untold story of pains and pleasures. As Andrea goes deep into the woods, she began to feel some presence around her. She has never really been this far into the woods and many wild thoughts flew through her mind. Were they here to harm her? Why has the person/thing behind the sound refused to show his or it’s face all along? What exactly was she to do for the caller? Andrea began to feel that coming into the woods was not completely a very good idea but she wouldn’t go back for she is not one to give in to fear. The presence begins to feel stronger and Andrea could tell that Dahlia has left her. For sure, Dahlia is going to be with Andrea all through her life’s journey but will definitely not be a part in fulfilling whatever unique purpose Andrea was on earth to accomplish. Andrea had always wondered why this is so. At the moment, Andrea did not allow herself to dwell on the thoughts of what Dahlia’s real mission in her life is, cause it is obvious that Dahlia is only going to be around at good times and it seems someone else would be with her at times such as this one, ‘the fearsome times'. Maybe this realisation contributed to making Andrea stronger because she is yet to see that other person and it is becoming quite convincing that she herself was that other person. Andrea brought herself back to reality. Whatever this thing is was here for business. The sound was becoming clearer even though Andrea could not understand the message in it. At this point, she needs Dahlia to help explain the message to her and of course Dahlia isn’t going to come to her. The other option is a very dangerous one, which is, mind drifting to meet Dahlia wherever she is currently hiding herself. This is a dangerous thing to do because, she doesn’t know the intention of the presence around her. If it was here to bring her any harm, mind drifting would only make it easier. Andrea doesn't seem to be left with much choice though, she has to mind drift to Dahlia. She was determined to uncover the mystery behind this strange sound at whatever cost. A strong and terrific wind blew continuously, causing the trees in the woods to bend with their branches touching the ground, they all swing from left to right as if they intend to sweep the woods and make it all glitter. Right now, everywhere is in total darkness. This sent a cold chill through Andrea. She looked around the woods, whatever it is is truly here for her but at the moment, she could tell that it is not aware of her exact spot. She can make herself to be temporary undetectable which is one of her many powers. It won’t last long but she hopes it lasts long enough to enable her locate Dahlia and get all the information she needs. ************************************* Andrea called out to Dahlia, *Dahlia, Dahlia, please where exactly are you?* *Please tell me why you are calling and stop shouting* Dahlia replied. *sorry I can’t show myself and you know it*. Andrea knows it would be a futile attempt to insist on seeing Dahlia and considering that she’s got no time, she replied, *I need answers and I know you got it Dahlia* *Answers to what exactly Andrea?* Dahlia retorted. *quit playing around Dahlia, why are you this tensed up? Not as if whatever is here is here for you….* Dahlia cuts in *and can you tell me the possibility of my survival without you Princess…. *alright from the little I can gather, the voices are that of a yet to be formed identity, it not yet fully good or evil. It tells tales of the past and the future. It’s story of the past flows from indecision, uncertainty or unwillingness, whatever that means, but that of the future is yet to be determined but it is a direct consequence of the past* *Then why seek for me?* Andrea asked. Dahlia replied *according to the wind, though not too sure, you are in it’s story in the future. Go now Andrea, you are too connected to it and may not remain hidden for long* Andrea didn’t know whether to be grateful for the details which all make very little sense to her. Deep down she knew it was one of those things she would understand with time, but the dangers of the present still lingers on and it’s mystery must be solved. She has to go back immediately before she is discovered. Dahlia fears for the worst. She doesn't know much but little. She would do everything to protect Andrea who means everything to her but she have to know her limits and also respect her boundaries. Andrea’s task is not an easy one, more helpers or guardians would come to Andrea. It maybe just one or more persons or even non persons and Dahlia pray they come fast. Dahlia was made to come early to Andrea because the forces can not be prevented from operating whenever they want to. Dahlia had to come to assist Andrea and keep her as safe as she can. Her powers are limited and don’t include altering or directing any of Andrea’s decisions or steps. Talking about helping Andrea, Andrea is even far stronger than Dahlia. All Dahlia does is help Andrea discover and understand her powers more. What Dahlia witnessed today was terrifying. She knows she stands no chance against the forces that are trying to get Andrea. She only prays the moon goddess keeps Andrea safe. Dahlia only but hopes her Andrea comes back to her. ************************************ Andrea slowly opened her eyes, the atmosphere was mixed with both evil and good aura, both of same magnitude. She could feel it, the presence was directly watching her. She wouldn’t know it’s intention, but from all indication, it was almost upon her. At this point, she opened her eyes wide just in time to see the strange creature descend directly upon her ready to take out her soul. She swiftly moved a little to escape the attack, but the creature seems even faster. She closed her eyes tightly and screamed but couldn’t hear her own voice, even though miraculously, the woods shook from her scream. ************************************** Everywhere became still, the present was gone, and all she perceives were the sweet fragrances from her own flowers and not the good and evil aura. Although this realisation was supposed to give her some sought of a relief, she wasn’t sure of what to feel or what exactly just happened. Something inside of her had screamed to the hearing of the trees in the wood and of course that wasn’t Dahlia, so what exactly was that? Her eyes remained closed as she was afraid of whatever awaits her if she opens it. And then she felt it, this couldn’t be a mistake she thought to herself. ‘It’s Dahlia, she is here. But this can’t be, what exactly happened to her? I have to do this now, right now'. And with this resolution, she slowly opened her eyes to behold the sight of her lovely garden. She began to hear some footsteps approaching and once again, she slowly passed out.
