Selena Rose, Daughter of the Moon

Chapter 8

The couple had been watching the goings on in the yard at Selena's through the dark mirror.

"Blast it! The shield mutes the view of the outside and we can see nothing inside now!" He stomps away from the mirror in frustration.

"Yes," the female drawls contemplatively, "but what we saw tonight was certainly informative." He turns toward her, "Kya has an ability as well. That is a wrinkle neither of them expects. Nor does Gabriel expect her to be unbound as she is now. Very clever of her to have her friend carry the ropes out, had she touched them again she would have been bound twice as hard this time."

"Hm, yes. Such untapped power within her. Will it be enough I wonder? Will she be able to defeat them both? She has never had to fight anything in her entire life. Or will they defeat each other for her in battle over her? Have either of them found out the other's plan yet?"

He shakes his head, "No, the winds report Gabriel is getting to meet with her soon. She won't bring him to her home though, she doesn't have any faith in him. The other..."

Her hand passes over the mirror, setting it swirling darkly before it gradually brightens into a picture of Selena's father. He is standing over a desk that is covered with a large map, a pendulum dangles from the hand hovering above the map. He appears to be angry.

"What is that on the pendulum?" She leans closer to the mirror her nose near touching the silvered glass, peering at the pendulum. "It's, I think it is hair. He must have saved some of her hair! Sneaky, sneaky. But it isn't working."

He walks over to the mirror, "Could you lean back a bit so I can see it as well? Why so it isn't working," he chuckles, "he does look angry. It isn't often he is so neatly thwarted. He must have felt the loss when the cords were cut."

"Looks like he is getting a call."

The two watch as he answers the phone, speaking briefly. As he listens to the person on the other end, an evil smile spreads across his face and he begins to laugh, carelessly tossing the pendulum down on the desk.

The two watchers look at each other, "He's found her." they say to each other in unison.

They watch as he scribbles some things in his journal and leaves to get in his car and go to the home of the one he has finally found.

"He won't confront her yet. This is just a scouting mission. He is more calculating than to just show up right after finding her, besides, he tried that once."

"I remember. She left and it has taken him years to find her. He has been fuming over it so long, were he human he would have had an attack of some sort by now and died."

"We should warn her, if he gets ahold of that child, Luna will be his to control."

"You're right. We can't let him have control of Selena's mother now that she is no longer his to control. We will watch him as he scouts her house, when he has gone home we will call Selena to come to visit us."

"Do we tell her all we know?"

"I think it is time. But what about Gabriel, he has seen Kya? He will find out soon that we knew. Do we tell him everything?"

"Let us see what his reactions are and we will decide then."
