THE PROPHECY

Chapter Eight: Let the Game Begin

I stormed from the table leaving the boys there to digest what I just told them. Knowing Blare was already following me, I continued to the girls restroom. When I walked in I didn't see anyone else in there so I went to the far wall and sat down. I thought about everything that had been happening.

The secrets, the kidnapping, even my past relationship with Drake. Was it really him that hurt me, or was it someone else who knows something about me that I don't? What were my parents hiding? Who would take my family? I hadn't realized Blare had already walked in until she sat next to me. She wrapped an arm around my shoulder. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

I brought my hand up to my eyes. Was I crying? I slowly wiped away the tears. "Everything's wrong."

"What do you mean?"

I didn't say anything else. I mean I only just met this girl. How much can I tell her?

"You can trust me, Saph. Come on. Tell me what's wrong."

I looked at her and said with complete seriousness, "Thus is gonna sound absolutely absurd and crazy and....."

"Trust me, I'm the queen if crazy." We both laughed before it got quiet once again. Before I could change my mind, I told her everything.

"Since I was little my dad taught me and my siblings to fight. We have always been fast, agile and crazy strong. They never told me why we are this way. Yesterday my family was taken. I fought a complete stranger and lost obviously, that's why my siblings were taken, because I wasn't there to protect them. Then my birth mother showed up, whom I was told walk out on us when me and Erebus were just babies. She touched me and I had a...vision, I guess that is what it was. Apparently there's some sort of prophecy and a bunch of other confusing stuff. I might have other brothers too. My parents had a surprise for me now I'll never know what it was. Oh, and because of those two duchies at the table, I was thinking about my past relationship with Drake. About what..."

She interrupted me,"Wait. You dated Drake?"

"Yes but I ended it with him. One night, we were on a date. We went to dinner and then a movie. After the movie we were heading for his truck, then I woke up in the hospital. I had bruises and scratches all over my body. I had temporary memory loss. I couldn't remember who I was the only thing I remembered was my family. My memories slowly came back. Hay became my friend shortly after and was soon the only guy I really trusted outside of my family. Even now, I feel like everyone is hiding something from me. Plus When my mom touched me yesterday, I saw, something. It was my real mom and dad, and Erebus and I, then two other boys. Then they started fighting and talking about a prophecy and my safety."

"Prophecy? What did it say?" She seemed really interested in what this "propgecy" was. 

I quoted my fathers exact words from what I heard during the vision.

'The one born with Sapphire eyes,

The daughter of a life of lies,

Will find the truth,

Still in her youth.

She will find a path,

and face the wrath,

of those closest to her by blood,

and her world will flood.

If by light or shadow,

where ever her path may flow,

She must choose one,

and the other shall be undone.

One is her light,

One is her freight,

She will choose,

or this warning she shall refuse.

Her path is hers,

but it may not occur,

she must decide,

for her life could be untied.

Her choice will bring,

destruction or our prolonging,

So heed this warning,

or we will all be mourning.'

"You are coming to my house tonight. No, IFs, ANDs, or BUTs about it. We've got some things to talk about." Just as I was about to protest the bell rang. I rushed to the mirror and fixed up my makeup and then, together, Blare and I rushed to Geometry together. We entered the class room and found seats at the front of the class. I could...feel...Drake and Lexi enter next. There eyes burning holes in my back. I saw Blare turn and shoot Drake an evil glare, this time I turned. I saw Drake looking at me, I grinned evilly then shot him a small wave, and he actually smiled. I gave Lexi a final glare and then turned to the front of the class.

"That's evil. Dragging him around like that." Blare told me in a whisper.

"I know. But he deserves it though. He bullies me. He drags me around, with my broken heart, and I let him, but now it's my turn to show him what he lost and will NEVER have again." I responded.

The teacher came to the front of the class and began the lesson. With every question asked, my hand shot up with the answer. I answered and got each one right. As class proceeded, I continued answering questions. When the bell rang, Blare and I exited first. Drake tried to follow, dragging an upset Lexi with him. This game is gonna be fun. He's gonna see how I felt, when he played with my heart.
