Secrets Untold To Us

Chapter 9: Lamaria

Once I had woken up, Auntie Katie had told me what happened. I couldn’t even remember a thing. She rushed in on me, almost being killed by the vanity mirror; and she saved me! Then she told me I fell hard on the ground. That’s probably why I can’t remember anything!

But she mentioned something unusual that happened. She said that my body had been glowing. I wonder why. As I’m puzzled with this question Auntie Katie lifts my body onto the bed, and she holds my face into her arms.

“Heather, are you okay. I was pretty worried after you fell hard on the ground; there was blood everywhere. Then you started to glow! Soon after, all the blood went away. I think your body has the power to fix itself” she blurts out.

That must explain why I can barely feel the slightest ounce of pain, in my body. As she rubs my cheeks, my head tilts towards the hard-wooded dresser, in the room. Above it I stare at the place in which the vanity mirror used to be. Aunty Katie had also explained that she destroyed the mirror using her powers, shattering it into pieces. But why did it attack me.  Trying to grab hold of my body pulling me in the liquid substance in which the glass used to be? Before I could finish my thought, Aunty Katie interrupts me.

“Sweetie, you have a lot of questions. Some of them can be answered, and some cannot.” She says calmly.

Why is she speaking in riddles? I wonder if she knows something that I don’t, since after all she is an angel as well. But the real question is…What type of angel is she? Before I finish my thought, I couldn’t help myself, so I blurted it out.

“What type of angel are you?”

“What…um.” She struggles to say.

“You said that when I had fallen there was blood everywhere, and then soon after my body started to glow. Then, you suggested that my body had the power to fix itself.” I say

“Heather, I can’t tell you.” She says calmly.

“Why not! I don’t get it. Why can’t you tell me?” I shouted.

“Fine. You are a rare angel, and your type is called Ameration.” She says.

“What’s that?” I said.

“It’s an angel that only is created, when an angel conceives a child with a human. Which your father for one defied the laws of Lamaria. For that he should have been killed! But I was sworn to secrecy, for he is my brother, and I would’ve hated to see him killed.” She says softly

Judging by the expression on her face, I can tell that she is deeply frightened  by telling me this. I still don’t get it! Why can’t an angel marry a human?

“Aunty Katie, I’m confused?” I blurt out.

“Our naturally habitat is in the skies, on the opposite side of the universe. Its called Lamaria. This Kingdom was run for years by King Angus. Just recently he was killed by the evil angels called the Termidions. They now run Lamaria, and new laws were made. Including this evil one! Our type is called the Marian Angels.

I can’t help but chuckle a little because; she still did not answer the question in which I was asking.

“Why would it be a problem for Marian Angels to elope with humans?” I whisper softly.

“It was said that when Marian Angels and Humans elope they create an alternate species which is said to be powerful then me, and your father combined!” She continues to whisper.

“If I’m powerful, then what about Nigel and Nina?” I said

“I have said to much *she says under her breath* It’s up to you to find out.” She says.

“Why…Can’t you tell?” I yell.

“There is no need to yell Heather, part of being an angel is being able to find, follow and create your own destiny. Here!…I have something to give to you.”

As I watch my Aunt she pulls something silver and shiny from out of her pocket, a silver heart surrounded by rhinestones, but you can tell it’s missing since only two diamonds had been left visible. There is an engraved piece of writing on the front of the heart saying…’those who believe succeed, think your way out and you will find safer ground. Although many may try to push you down, get back up. You are one hell of a warrior.’

“It’s a heart necklace, my father gave to me when I was your age. I kept it close to my heart for years. But now, I’m giving it to you. When danger is near it will alert your heart, and you too will become ready for what is to come. Fall in love, get drunk, have sex. Wait hold on, no…Forget about what I said. Just keep it with you at all time. Your father will kick my ass, if he heard me saying this. Oh wait…I just swore shi-, you know what! Keep the Goddamn thing, close to your heart!” she says

I couldn’t help but laugh, and once again Aunt Katie went too far. She stood up, hugged me, and made her way downstairs.

Soon after she left, I made my way into the shower. Unzipping my floral dress, which I had on. Watching it fall to the ground. As I turned to look at my body through the mirror in the bathroom, I watched my hair change from red back to its normal color, brown! Thank God, that color did not suit me. I turn on the shower and watch the water as it falls down, off my body.

After I shower I reach out for the towel rested on the counter.  I wrap my body running to my room, as my phone kept going off repeatedly. I wonder who is calling? As I unlock the phone a message pops up saying…I miss u<3

Who is this?
