Princess Octavia

1

Keelin Blake never knew she could be as happy as she was in the moment, peering out the window watching her twin tots playing in the yard. She sipped her coffee while the twins chased the orange butterflies, life was perfect.

In a single moment everything changed, the sky turned charcoal and the ground began violently shaking. The cup of steaming coffee slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor. Keelin's eyes glowed a bright white as summoned her magic to bring her children to her before they could be hurt. She could feel the warmth of a little body appear in her arms but when she looked down, she only looked upon one set of eyes. 

"Mommy!" The girl screamed from outside.

"Octavia!" Keelin screamed back as her heart moved to her throat. No matter how hard she tried her body refused to move, she was helpless in watching the terror on her little princess's face.

Tears streamed down her face as she watched the violent shaking wrack the earth around the little girl. After what felt like hours the earth cracked, opening up a large hole. In that moment she knew what was going to happen but no matter how hard she tried her body nor her magic would respond to her demands.

The girls terrified screams became frantic as she fell into the endless dark hole. Keelin could do nothing but grip the boy in her arms and watch in terror as the earth swallowed up her little girl.

She awoke in a panic, cold sweat covering her exhausted body. Though the nightmare was not how it happened she did in fact lose her precious daughter.

"Keelin love, it okay you're okay." Her mates voice could not soothe her mind after that horrible nightmare.

Her soft green eyes once so full of light were hollow, once they met his she could see the same pain in his. 

"Onyx, we have to get her back." She was choking back a sob, she looked around realizing she was in her bed. "How did I get here?"

"You fell asleep at your desk again, I brought you here. I know you are worried, I am too but we cannot help Octavia if we are not also caring for ourselves. Your parents will be here shortly, they found something."
