Taylor - stripes and shadows (lesbian) [on hold]

Chapter 19 (part 2)

I felt myself slip back into my own time, I sat for a while just crying, the shadow sat on the ground in front of me patiently as I got it out of my system “where you the one I infused with my essence?” I asked after I’d calmed down enough to speak

“yes and no, I knew you where dying when you threw me through that portal and I felt that I had to repay you for saving me, so I waited until the time was right, the other shadows didn’t have my immortality, they aged and died, with each generation Sintel’s essence got weaker, Sintel intended to infuse her essence within a male and a female so that they could produce children who would maintain her essence, until she had an army of them, you ruined that plan when you stole me from her, she couldn’t find another female that was strong enough to withstand the destructive nature of her essence, there has only been two other females born strong enough to handle it since then but for reasons I do not know she never tried again after that incident, after I knew she wasn’t going to try again I got a god to take your essence out of me and put it into a woman who possessed strong blood ties with Astra, you, so that you could be born again into the world you helped save, it seems to me like you need to save it again” she said as she stood up, I raised with her

“but what you say is true then why am I not a god? And how could you survive without my essence now?” I asked as I walked with her along the path that lead out of the woods

“if I had given you all of your essence back then you would have been born a god but I thought it would be best to hold onto most of it until you had matured, as to your other question the answer is simple, I can’t.” she said matter of factly as we walked towards my parents house, I noticed that they where in when we got nearer, the living room and hallway light was on

“so I can’t become a god again” I said when we entered the garden

“you can and your going to” she said as she smiled back at me before knocking on the door

“but if I take back my essence I’ll be condemning you to death, I wont do that” I retorted, she opened her mouth to say something back but the door opened before she could say anything

“Taylor?” my dad stood in the doorway with a bewildered look on his face before he noticed the shadow and took a step back in astonishment “already? But we thought this wouldn’t happen for years after Taylor left” as soon as the word “already” had left his mouth I knew that he knew, again I felt a sense of betrayal that the people I called parents had deceived me once more, he stepped aside to let us in “I’ll go get your mother, I guess we have even more explaining to do” he said giving me a look that said he was sorry, I ignored him and walked into the living room and sat down on one of the sofa’s, not long afterwards my dad and mum returned and sat on the other sofa, I waited for them to explain what was going on, after a long period of silence it became apparent that they didn’t know what to say so I took the initiative

“why tell me about the royals and say I’m one of them when I’m not, why didn’t you just tell me the truth instead of lying to me over and over again” I finally spat out in anger, it took all my will power to stay where I sat and not just walk out of there

“because we knew that if it ever got out you’d be killed before you had a chance to regain your essence” my dad explained in a calm voice “and it wasn’t a lie, you created the first royal, a leader for the werecats made in there image but also in your own, you where a creator remember, the werecats where your followers, they still are, you where working on creating a royal line for the werewolf’s as well but you where killed before you could, if you had succeeded then there would never have been wars between the werecats and werewolf’s, even back then you where trying to unit everyone…” my dad chuckled and shuck his head like he knew exactly what I was like back then “if Sintel’s father hadn’t ordered her to do what she did then you would have succeeded as well” I flinched at the mention of her name, reflexively I rubbed at my chest where her hand had been, where the killer blow had landed “sorry” he whispered, all of a sudden realization hit me

“Kali’s Sintel isn’t she?” I asked nervously

“yes she is” came the answer but not from any of us sat in the room, Lance was standing in the doorway, Kali was stood behind him “I’ll tell you one thing before you jump to any decisions, Kali killed her rather after what happened with you” Lance stated as if it was meant to mean anything to me, standing up I looked at the shadow

“what do we do now” I said, completely ignoring Lance and Kali at that moment, better to think about the present while I was in it

“we should give you your essence back” the shadow replied

“we already talked about this, I wont take it back if it means it’ll kill you” I sighed feeling exhausted all of a sudden

“she doesn’t have to die, you could bind her to you as a sort of slave, a few gods have done this with there minions so that they share there strength and immortality, they can only do it with two minions, some of the stronger ones might manage three but it’s very rare” Lance said from where he stood in the doorway.

Lance explained how to bind the shadow to me, it worried me that I had to take my essence back and then bind her to me, if I didn’t do it quickly enough or forgot how to use my powers then she would die, Lance reassured me that I would know exactly what to do once I had my essence back and had become a god again but there was still that niggling feeling of unease in my mind as I stepped in front of her “ready?” I asked.
