Catching light Book 1

Chapter 9

I was there in a shining silver palace surrounded by warm sunlight which seemed to wrap around me like a blanket. In front of me was a little girl with her parents. She was so soft, innocent and small, not knowing the cruel real world just yet. She was me and next to me was my mother. My mother looked so beautiful and powerful. She looked as if Lightness radiated from her...but how could light be found inside darkness? How did she change and how did she manage to defy what the world labeled her as?
In the far corner was the younger Aaron and a lady in a cloak. Her face was covered. I assumed she was Aaron's mother. The room was quite silent until...
All of a sudden man and woman burst through the doors heavily armed. They looked enraged but I couldn't help but notice their features that were slightly similar to Jack's, but not enough to make them look like his parents. Were they actually his parents?

His mother had a glint of pure madness in her green eyes and so did his father.

"Fiona you know Dark and Light shouldn't be together. Just because you fell in love with a Light Binder and you, Simon, fell in love with that Dark Binder doesn't mean we should all be living perfectly together. You know the Darkness cannot control their dark nature. Stop this before we do!" Jack's mother boomed.

"Layla, you have a son. Do you really want him to live in a world of seperation? " my mother cooed

"Don't speak to me you filthy Dark queen!" Jack's mother thundered.

"Do not speak to my wife and your future queen like that! " my father was extremely enraged. Aaron's mother just stayed hidden in her cloak, but now she was next to my parents.

"That will never be my queen!" Both of Jack's parents boomed, pointing at Fiona- my mother.

Then they pulled out their daggers which glinted in the reflected light of tha palace walls, lunged for my parents and sunk the blades into their hearts, then they headed for the cloaked woman and stabbed her as well, they were so fast. Aaron's mother fell on her face and her cloak covered her still, concealing her identity. Blood gushed from their wounds, but I was surprised at how they just let themselves get killed. They didn't even fight back, it was as if they planned on being killed.

The light reflecting on their bloody, lifeless bodies. The scene was excruciating. What I saw would've been torture for a small child.

The younger version of me screamed out in agony and younger Aaron clutched her-me- in his arms and tears fell from his eyes. I was in shock and was paralysed in utter terror. My parents were just murdered brutally by their own people, but why did they give up so easily? Jack's parents stood over the bodies looking sorry but determined. I let out a scream knowing that no one could hear me. Then all of a sudden my screams merged into baby screams. A beautiful woman carried a baby boy tightly in her hands and rocked him gently in her arms. She stood near a fire and out of the window I saw little flecks of snow falling from the sky.

" Shhhh my sweetheart. It's okay. Mommy's right here," her voice was like silk. I walked closer to her and looked at the baby. He had dark hair and big grey eyes. He reminded me so much of Aaron. I smiled at him and surprisingly he smiled back which made me shocked. His mother had red hair and grey eyes just like her baby's. I could tell she was light by the way her magic ran through her veins. It was strange how I couldn't really tell what Binders Greys were but maybe that was because of my lack of interaction with different binders. Either they felt dark or light. But not grey.

Slowly she began to sing:

"Catching light, in the sky
Listen to me lullaby.
Watch it fall to the ground,
Careful don't make a sound.
Glistening and glowing,
Never slowing.
I'm right here don't you cry
I'll teach you how to fly"

It was the most beautiful song ever, but then the image flashed to her lying on the ground, dead. She was so pale and I could not hear her heartbeat. Suddenly her eyes flashed open and she shot up and whispered, "stop him, stop him from the sepeartion, he will kill us, all of us" then she sunk back down and lay lifeless.

I screamed and woke up in my bed. My nails dug deeply into my palms and blood dripped onto my duvet. I screamed so loudly that my throat began to grow hoarse and raw. I slowly started hyperventilating and sobbing, and then the room filled with light and Aaron rushed in and sat next to me.

"Eve breathe, breathe it's okay, I'm right here!" He said softly into my ears. Immediately I flung myself onto him and cried in his chest I did not care at all that I was showing him my weakness. First his muscles tensed and then they relaxed and he held me gently as if I was a fragile feather. The feeling of him was so strange, but I had to ignore it. Yet for some strange reason, I couldn't. I couldn't ignore the weird tingles pulsing through my veins. I then looked up at him, and all those memories came flashing back. 

" I-I saw it, I saw it all! They stabbed my parents! They stabbed your mom. T-they were just trying to make the world a b-better place and then they died j-just l-like t-that! But t-t-the worst was when t-that lady said w-what she said! He's coming f-for me, f-for us!" My words were soft and shaky as I gasped for air.

" Who's coming?" Aaron whispered in my hair. I froze in fear. I did not know who was coming.

" I-I don't know. S-she never s-said." I started crying even louder. The picture of the dead woman kept appearing in my head. What had happened to her and what happened to her son?

I just sat there crying and bleeding. I was so broken. Never in my life had I had such a horrific nightmare. Unless it wasn't a nightmare. Maybe it was a memeory.

" Shhhhh, don't cry Eve, they can't hurt you here."

The truth was that I was already hurt. The memories were too much for me and for a second, just a second I was grateful to the Dark King for wiping my memories...i mean if that was the truth.

"The memories, they're coming back aren't they?" He asked still clutching onto me like he did all those years ago.

"Y-yeah. I am starting to see everyone's memories, your's, Macy's, everyone's."

"Everyone! How are you managing to still be so strong?" He asked.

I laughed a little.

" Strong! I'm sitting here crying into your clothes. I think this is the weakest I've ever been." I said.

" No, you aren't weak, you're the strongest person I've met. Even when you were a little girl, you were tough as nails." He said in my ear to calm me down. Slowly it was working and I was beginning to fall asleep in his arms. But just before I drifted away, I said, "Thank you so much for your support,"
The last thing I remember was him kissing my forehead. Then I was out like a candle flame in the wind.
