The Prophecy

Chapter 3

Belle sat on her couch watching her parents pace back and forth without saying a word to her or each other. After what felt like a lifetime her dad finally started to talk. 

"Belle, honey, we have something we need to tell you." Belle just sat there silent staring at them. "Well, lets start with this. Do you remember what happened to you today?" "No, just that I was walking to my locker when someone grabbed my arm and then boom I'm back in the hallway and its 6 o'clock at night and no one knows where the hell I was or what happened...." "Okay, well... there is no way to sugar coat this so he goes nothing.... Belle you are a witch and from what we can tell a very powerful one." "Dad, what the hell are you talking about? Am I in some kind of twilight zone or something? What the hell is actually going on? What happened to me today?!" " We are going to explain everything but before we start please let us get through the whole story before you but in. This isn't going to be easy for your mother and I and I'd rather get it all out before we answer what I am sure is going to be a million questions running through your head. Okay?'' " Okay......"

     "When your mother and I got married we wanted nothing more then to be parents. We tried and tried and it just wasn't happening. We tried IVF and every other treatment you could possibly think of and no luck. Our next step was okay we are going to adopt. We filled out all the forms and now it was just a waiting game. It can take years to finally get chosen to be adopted parents so we weren't holding our breathe that we were going to have a family any time soon. Well, it happened faster then we thought, a few months later we got a call that a single teen mother was going to have a baby and she wanted to meet us. We met agreed on a time and place to meet and when she showed up we never expected what she was about to tell us. All the fairy tales and supernatural things like witches, werewolves, vampires, fairies... all of that stuff is real. Your real mother is a witch and so are you. She went on to tell us about a huge prophecy that led her to bringing you to us and that once you hit 18 you would come into your powers and that you were destined to be the savior."

"Wait Wait Wait one minute. First off..... I'm adopted.. adop... I can't and did you say a witch... the savior... what. You truly expect me to believe this. Are you guys on drugs?! What kind of sick joke is this."

"Belle, you said you would let me finish the story before you interrupted." "Dad, you want to drop a bombshell like that on me and expect me to remain quiet?!" " Yes, because I am not finished telling you what I need to say. What me and your mother need to say.  When we met with your birth mother she was already 8 months along. She told us that there was a war going on between all supernatural beings at the time and you were destined to be the savoir that ended the war. She told us the prophecy chose us to raise you and keep you safe until you were of age and got your powers. We were going to tell you... We were! We thought we had more time as your 18th birthday isn't for another 3 months!" 

"Dad, how do you really expect me to believe any of this. You're kidding right? Mom?!" Looking at my mom she looked like she saw a ghost and hasn't spoken a word since the car. Is this real? Am I really some sort of savior? 

"Sweetie, everything your dad told you is the truth. We weren't told anything else besides what he just told you. When Maddie called earlier and told us how you just disappeared it was like our worst nightmares were coming true. We thought that this was all a joke. We moved states even to try to keep your birth mother from finding you. We thought she was just come drugged up teen scared that she was alone and having a baby, but the last thing she said to us was that she was going to find you before your birthday and tell you how to accept your powers once it was time. Is that what happened today? Did you see your birth mother?"

"Mom, I don't even know what happened to me today. I'm telling you I was just walking with Maddie and then the next thing I know I'm back in the school alone like nothing happened. This is too much.. How am I supposed to process all of this.. ?"

"We know this can't be easy to hear... That's why we needed to get it all out in the open and tell you everything at once. I am so sorry we kept this from you for so long. We were just trying to keep you safe."

"You were just trying to keep me safe. You lied to me my whole life. Everything I thought I knew is a lie and what I'm supposed to just go back to school tomorrow and pretend none of this happened? What do I tell Maddie?! I don't even remember what happened to me when I disappeared." 

"Belle, you do know what happened to you. You are just suppressing it because you don't want to believe. It's there in the back of your mind and all you need to do is let it out. I know it is scary but you need to let yourself remember."

"Mom - Dad.... Say I even considered believing this.. What if I don't want it? Can I choose to not take on my powers can I go on just living a normal boring life? 

"Honey, we don't even know if that is an option. I mean it could be... but in order for you to do that you need to remember."

I need to remember.. are they out of their f*****g minds. they want to throw this at me... I'm a witch.. I'm adopted. adopted. I always knew I was meant for more. I knew I never really fit in here but a witch?! The Savior? what the hell does that even mean. What happened to me today... That might be the only thing my mom was right about. I do need to remember. Who sent me that text? My birth mom?
