Destiny: The Untold Story of Evelyn Salvatore

Chapter X

For once in my life, I've never questioned my parents' motives. Before all of this happened, I've always wondered why my parents were so protective of me. But now, that I can die any second of any day, I understand why they need to be so protective of me.

I'm sitting on the couch, doing nothing, when I feel something. In my bones. It's like jolts of electricity running through my veins. I raise my arms, and nothing looked wrong with them. But I'm feeling this weird feeling. In my bones. And I can't identify it.

"Mom, Do I look okay?" I say turning towards her.

"Yeah, you look fine. Why?" She replies.

"I don't know I just feel this really weird feeling. Like a, like an urge," I say. Dad gives Mom a look, and at first Mom doesn't know what that look mean, and then she widens her eyes, and looks at me.

"Evie, do you think that this feeling... is..." Mom says hesitantly.

"Is what? I ask nervously.

"Do you think you're ready to turn?" Dad says, flat out.

I open my mouth, to disagree, but then I thought about it. Could this be it? Could I have to turn?

"Um, I'm not sure... maybe" I say with concern. We all exchange glances until the feeling starts getting stronger. A lot stronger. It feels like all of my blood is zooming back and forth through my veins, and all of my cells are spazzing out. I'm not sure if I'm in pain, or in shock, I don't even know what my emotion is right now.

"I think I'm ready..." I say with anxiety. Mom comes upstairs with me so I can dress, and then we go back downstairs.

"I need to do this alone, I'm going to Moira, and she'll turn me. I don't want you guys to see it..." I say to Mom and Dad.

Mom sighs and says, "We will walk you there, and wait somewhere until, you know, you're... done,"and Dad nods.

"Moira's cave is just outside of Mystic Falls. We'll drive," Dad says, grabbing his car keys. We file into the car, and we're on our way.

The feeling is just getting stronger, and stronger and stronger. I feel like my skeleton is going to rip out of my skin. I keep moaning, and my parents keep asking me if I'm okay, but I just keep telling them it's just the feeling.
I just can't believe it's actually happening. My destiny. My fate. It's hard to believe that it's actually happening right now. We arrive at Moira's cave, and I get out of the car. All I see is a big hunk of rock. Mom and Dad motion to me to follow them, and I do.

There's a secret tunnel that leads to Moira, and we walk through it. We walk into this big open space, underground, surrounded by black rock. Moira is sitting in this gigantic throne, with precious gems all over it. Her silky, red hair is swooped to one side, and she is wearing a flowy green dress. It's strange to see her in her natural habitat.

"Come in, my child," she says softly.

"If I don't, you know, make it, then I want you guys to know that I'm so grateful for everything you've ever done for me," I say emotionally, "And I love you so, so much." I hug them both. "I love you, too Munchkin," Dad says, hugging me "I love you so much, Evie-Bevie," Mom says, giving me a big hug. I walk towards Moira, and her sickening smile. I watch Mom and Dad walk out, Mom crying in Dad's arms.
"Okay..." I sniffle, "Let's get this over with."

"It's not that easy, Evelyn," Moira says getting up from her throne. She walks over to this little table and starts mixing herbs, and puts some liquids in there too.

"Drink this," she says, handing me the bowl.

"Um, what is this," I ask.

"Nothing for you to worry about. Just some vervain, wolfsbane, oil, and lobelia flower. Vervain harms vampires, wolfspane harms werewolves, oil harms mermaids, and lobelia flower harms witches," Moira says with a fake smile.
