Taken (h.s.) **EDITING**

Taken: Ch. 3

First Draft. Will be changed. Once so,  the following chapters will not make sense nor correspond with this chapter. You will be alerted when each chapter is redone.

I wake up and Harry is still carrying me. I blink a few times, because of the dizziness washing over me. My surroundings are blurry, and I'm getting jostled around a lot. He must still be running. Hm. Weird.

He notices me and slows, but not by much. "Shh," he coos, "Take a little nap. You need to rest up."

I want to refuse and yell,"How the fuck am I supposed to sleep with you bouncing me around?" But I was too tired.

Why am I so sleepy...

My last thought was about Harry's smile. Why is he smiling...?

Yet again I see blackness.

But this time I start to dream. Strange chanting fills my ears. "U-we-tsi a-ge-ya." Over and over. I recognize it as the Cherokee word for daughter. I don't know how, though.

Well yeah I'm a quarter first nation but no one taught me this for god's sake.

"U-we-tsi a-ge-ya." Voices whisper around me.

I try and scream "Where am I?" but my voice comes out in a whisper. I open my eyes and see shapes moving in front of a bonfire. Ancient Peoples, I think to myself.

A string of silver wraps through the crowd, beckoning me to follow. I try not to bump into anyone, but, me being the klutz that I am, do.

Except I don't. I pass right through them. I'm more carefree with my actions, following the trail of sparkling, shining silver through the... er.... Powwow? Yeah, that's right. Powwow.

Anyways, I keep following the floating silver thread of light. I gasp as I reach the end of it and a large ball of moving, shining silver light crashes into me, absorbing into me, knocking me backwards a few steps. It transports me to a new place, a stone-walled cave with a crystal stream and a black-clothed woman in front of me.

"Child, be careful. And be warned: Darkness does not equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good." The woman dissolves into thin air, a wisp of her... spirit, I guess, dances around my head for a few seconds.

Uhm, okay, person. I'll just back away slowly and walk towards this inviting cave over here....

I end up running down the tunnel/cave but stop when I see a beautiful, calming goddesslike woman, dressed all in white with hair that matches the thread from before.

She's.... Amazing.

And then she speaks.

"Daughter, ignore the sprite. She likes to play." I fight the doubtful expression threatening to overtake my face. Why would a prophecy-like statement be a sprite "playing"?

"Daughter, beware.... Don't trust them. They can and will hurt you. As long as you believe in me, daughter, thy shall be safe and protected." Her silver-eyed gaze bears into me. I feel as if she can see into my soul.

"Beware of who? What? I don't even know who you are!"

"Daughter, I am the sacred goddess of light and day, I am the creator and protector of humanity. I am your original mother. Or, the First Mother. As I said, believe in me and I shall protect thee." She started to disappear.

"No! Don't leave me!" That's weird. I didn't plan on saying that... but I feel a connection and... I think her words are true. A dizzying feeling wipes over me, kinda like that one time I had too much champagne on New Years'.

"I love thee, daughter." And with that, instead of her dissolving, I do.

I'm absorbed into blackness, but hear faint voices of.... Sprites, I guess, singing around me. Slowly their voices fade and I'm left alone.

And then I wake up.

A/N: I know, cliffhanger ending, but that's the only kind :)

And if you guys don't understand the 'you' 'thee' 'thy' and 'thou' parts just think that it all means 'you'. The way she speaks is just for effect.

And I thought I'd bring a little of my roots into this... I'm a quarter Métis. I feel a lot more Métis than I actually am, lol. I'm not sure if Light and Day goddess actually exists, though. I bereeve not. Same with Blacky the Sprite :)

So yeah. I'll update soon.

And yes I know the 'darkness does not equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good' thing is from House of Night.

Yes, I'm a Honatic. That's what I call it, there's too many kinds of vampires (or vampyres) out there. So Honatic. Instead of Fanatic.

OHH JUST LEAF ME ALONE

lol no dont do that.

okay I'm done. bye guys.

and if any of you understand 'wet noodle' 'vile creature' or 'christmas in a hole' kik me at playful_soul. I need a Benj&Bac to talk to.
