P.O.V Old Witch
“Junius diary activated, that means the tree also activated. Seems no sleep tonight, better get going to where the diary is.”
------Time Slip-----
I got there in the middle of total confusion the guards did not even saw me come in. Not a particularly good place to hide a cursed child. I walk inside the house, go up following the spell, saw a room open, got inside just in time to understand what was going on.
“Did you know that it should behave like this?” I stop at the door looking at the scene in front. “No. Maybe she didn’t see this?” There were 3 people, I knew two of them the other I watched. “Her predictions here 100% corrects.” I see the movements and the care the man had for Elder Natasha. “Only if we did exactly what she said.” It was an interesting scene that told me a lot. “We did, what could go wrong.” Time for me to show my presence. “Nothing, this is exactly what is supposed to happen," told them "the only person that can see and touch the diary after the opening is her.” They all looked at me. “How do you know this?” “Because I put that protection spell. Only she can get out of it.” The man that was supporting Elder Natasha change his stand, never leaving her. “Why?” Elder Silvanie came closer to me. “She asked me to, that is why every time another person tried to open, they would feel a strong feeling of loss.” I could see they trying to process what I just said. “Is supposed to do this?” I walked closer to them and see the Diary glowing. “The Diaries have a spell, she would live them in the dreams, she will see the lives of those that wrote them.” It is connected to everyone that is part of Junius' life. “That means?” Elder Silvanie voice was of fear. “She is dreaming about the life of Junius now. I suppose she just reaches the last part.” “She saw Junius die?” Elder Silvanie had her hand over her mouth trying to not scream. “That would be simple, she as to be strong this is the only way to train her mind, the diaries are connected to Lutrice.” “What?” Elder Natasha almost screams also. “Can she find Brielle?” I look at her, the man had his arms around her and was looking suspiciously at me. “No, not in that way, Lutrice is connected to that tree, the tree connected with the souls of the children, the souls to the diaries. The child must be seeing what happens in everyone's perspective.” I see her eyes fading with sadness as she whispers, “Why? She already saw too much on her dreams.” That got me interested. “You know what she saw?” “Christian heard her talking and this time he could understand. And after, since she knows me for long, in the mind training she shared.” Elder Silvanie shared with me. “She is already that advanced on the training?” I was impressed. “Even in her physical training, Brielle is a daughter of two Alphas, although she is human, she still carries their blood.” I look at the girl on the bed. “She indeed is interesting.” “What can we do now?” I look at Elder Silvanie. “Nothing.”The man next to Elder Natasha starts talking. “What do you mean nothing? My sister is.” I see him getting his hand on the hair preoccupation all over his face. “Sister?” Elder Natasha put her hand over the one that is still holding her. “Witch Clara, meet Alpha Chadrick, one of Brielle Brothers.” I look at her confused. “Brother?” “Witch? Is she the cause of this?” He tries to get near me, but Elder Natasha grabs him. “Easy Pup.” I stand my ground. “Chadrick, no, Witch Clara is a Royal Witch, a very loyal one.” Elder Natasha had her arms all around him. “How can a witch be loyal?” He looks at her pointing at me. “Lutrice, the witch that made the curse is my daughter,” I tell him the calmest I could. “One more reason to put her in jail.” Elder Natasha steps in front of him, blocking him from me. “Chadrick, listen, remember the story, it was Witch Clara that prevented the Queen from dying, she restricted her child to help the Royals.” She was holding Chadrick from advancing until he took a deep breath and calmed down. “She is only dreaming at this point, she will just need your help when she wakes up, she will have questions.” Elder Natasha looks over the shoulder to me. “What can we tell her?” “The truth does not leave anything unsaid. Elder Silvanie you were the one who had your story together with Junius, she will be coming to you for answers.” She nods to me. “That means we must be prepared to open our minds to Brielle.”She looks at Natasha. “Silvanie, can he do that?” They must be talking about him. “Hope he can that is the only way for Brielle to follow the right path she made for the curse to be broken.” I see a sigh coming from Elder Silvanie. “He has been closed in his nightmares for too long.” Silence. “Since I am already here, the other pup wants to talk to the Elders.” Natasha and Silvanie look at me. “Better to be done before he opens to the child.” “The child as a name.” I look at Chadrick was it? This pup has courage. Wait… then I sense the energy, Moon Goddess Guard and Warrior. I widen my eyes at him “He is a Moon Goddess Guard and Warrior?” I look at the Elders. “Took you a little bit of time to sense it.” Elder Silvanie smiled.I got my hand at the bridge of my nose and close my eyes. “Tell me she is not doing the same thing your mother did? She can’t be that irresponsible.” Elder Natasha turned to me completely, and the man put his arms around her again. “She just put Brielle in the right place, I am stopping her from going any further.” “We can’t lose her also. But this makes the odes even more interesting. Does Lutrice know about this?” There is so much we all can lose this time. “We have not heard of her yet, seems the seal around the pack is working on preventing her minions to come inside.” I know it was not enough. “That will do it, but still be careful, she as a lot of connections made along the years, everyone outside the pack should be considered an enemy.” “That includes you.” He speaks again. He cannot trust me, I understand. “Chadrick enough.” She slaps his arm. That is not going to hurt him. “That could also mean me, since I just got inside the house, with ease, another powerful witch could also do that.” “About the meeting.” Elder Silvanie changed the subject. “I will see when Christian is free and send notice to you.” I nod. “How is practice going?” “Not easy, Brielle,” looking straight at Chadrick “seems to be more advance.” He seems to pick on. “Who is this that you are all talking about?” Hope you are also ready if that time comes. Elder Natasha speaks in a casual voice. “You will meet when you are ready. We are just following the word of the 9th child so that everything goes according to the predicted future. When the time comes, you will need to be there for Brielle more than ever.” His eyebrow gets up. “Is him the cause I must be prepared?” “One of many.” His attention got back to me. “So why are you training him?” He needs to know this since he is part of the Moon Goddess's most trusted man. “Because he needs to be able to resist Lutrice.” “Do you know why the training is not going well?” Elder Natasha's voice was of suspicion. “I sense some dark magic around him, but I have not found the source yet.” Better to tell them, since they have a lot of history with that family. “Another witch?” Elder Silvanie was at my side. “That is possible, but it was to be a strong one,” or else I would have felt her. “Or one with a strong backup.” I nod, that is also a preoccupation of mine. “I must go, since we found that illegal coven, we have been doing searches around, and they still need my help since I am the only witch they can trust.” “That is a big contradiction.” That brother of hers does not like me one bit. “Yes, it is, pup, but you better get more informed about the one that helps me live so long, to help the children. If it were not for the Moon Goddess I would not be living by now. “He looks shocked. “Send news to the palace once you have the time for the meeting, I will try to find the source of the dark magic, that he will be able for the test.” She bowed her head a little. “I will.” I got out the same way I got in. And flying in the night sky I went back in a hurry. Something is telling me I need to go back now.
