Being Different (editing)

Chapter 6 | Things Will Only Get Worse Before They Get Better

"Hello Ava," a soft angle like voice spoke to me.

It couldn't be...

A blinding light appeared from within the darkness that had enveloped me. It was as if I stood right in front of the sun and I was hit by its powerful light beams in one massive blow to my sensitive wolf eyes.

Looking around I noticed everything was white and bright but the light wasn't as strong as before. Looking down at myself I noticed the soft white silk nightgown that the omegas gave me but it was as if it was just brought yesterday not generations beforehand. My tail shook with an unknown tension, something big was going to happen.

"Finished checking yourself out yet?" I turned up at the voice only to notice that no one was there. I kept twisting and turning but the room stayed the exact same.

"You won't find me, I haven't shown you my form for a reason you know," the voice spoke again and I gulped loudly.

"I forced you to go unconscious for one purpose only, the quicker I tell you the faster we get this over with and you can return." The room shifted into complete and utter darkness nothing was visible at all, but at the same time I don't think anything was in the room at the first place.

"Gee the dark was always my favourite." The voice said calmly with a soft sigh at the end. "To bad brother dearest took the dark away before I can truly enjoy it." The voice sounded off next to me and as I turned I saw a woman stood there her skin pale as anything a dress that seemed to disappear when it got longer turning into mist the colours a rich and dark blue that would appear on a cold and dark night sky, her face was not visible either as her dark black hair covered her facial features so nothing above her collar bone was visible. The only skin showing was her chest and arms everything else just seemed to be covered up or vanished.

"I'm glad I could see you before you had to go back to that place." She said softly a sigh ending her sentence as if she was almost upset. "I haven't been a good goddess, I should protect my people right? But when I handed out gifts and promises to people as if it were candy it became too much and they began to rely on me, I had to stop myself so no one expected miracles to fall from the sky. Get me?" I nodded not knowing what else to do, but I also understood where she was coming from.

Around the darkness sparks of light began erupting from the darkness surrounding us. I watched in awe as the lights turned into the shimmering stars I've become so accustomed too.

The woman then walked towards me placing herself on an invisible platform her dress hanging off the edge, dangling. She gestured for me to sit next to her and after a moment of hesitation I decided to sit down close to her. My tail curled itself around me on instinct. My ears were twisting and turning trying to find any other signs of life, but the only thing I could hear was the sound of our steady breathing and our soft heartbeats.

No other life was around us what so ever.

"What is this place?" I mumbled without even realising. I gasped when I realised I did just talk!

"This is a different reality, my realm if you wish. Your thoughts here may most likely be voiced so technically talking here is just thinking." She mumbled to me with hand gestures out into the middle of no where.

"Oh," was all I could say.

"Each star is a soul, the ones that did something on this earth. If I find them worthy enough they can join my constellations, but it's been so many centuries since someone pure has come. I used to have trouble just picking out of the hundreds of souls, just to see who would be able to join but now..." She said out of breath as if this was a tough subject. "No one is even close, everyone is evil...everyone is cruel..."

She sighed and only then did I notice the droplet of water that fell from her covered face. I felt so confused but I pushed that emotion to the side I placed my arm around her shoulders in a gesture of comfort, she turned to me staring at my features as I gazed at her long black hair. A moment passed before she gazed back out at the darkness as I did the same just staring out at nothing as the stars shined and glimmered.

"But that's the reason I brought you here." She turned to me again as if she could see me. "You've lived a shitty life and I'm sorry I couldn't help you," her normal respectful and posh personality completely vanishing to that of someone who was just your everyday person.

"Your very different Ava your a hybrid but not just any hybrid...a vampire and werewolf hybrid, the effects were different then to most hybrids. The vampire and werewolf blood in you were already so strong that when they fought for dominance your werewolf side fought too hard and thus the reason you have your ears and tail, your forever a werewolf but with the abilities of a vampire making you stronger than most. I always had a preference for vampires they could do so many cool things with there abilities and you have those as well." She took a large intake of air and exhaled slowly.

"You are such a wonderful person and for that I hope one day I can let you join my constellations," she turned up looking at the stars that were higher up in the sky.

"I wanted you to come here, to warn you of how things will become worse...you'll feel pain ten times the amount you've felt in all your life in one moment. But your destiny still has carved itself a path, you have written yourself a story like no other, that must be finished. After the pain has past, things will become great and beautiful and only after that time will you be accepted into my stars."

She chuckled to herself. "Your story will not be the fairytale cliche that most would predict, but it will still be so joyful in some moments you'll feel like the cliche princess but only after you face the hardships." She gazed towards me again.

"I hope I see you in my stars one day,"

I could feel myself slipping from this reality but I had so many unanswered questions.

"WAIT!" I yelled out with more power and authority I never thought possible.

The woman seemed startled and tensed but after and moment she relaxed and continued to stare at me. "What is it that you need that you just had to scream out at me Ava?" She chuckled to herself.

"Are you who I think you are?" The woman thought to herself for a moment turning her head to the side for a moment in confusion but then she perked up.

"If you mean the moon goddess indeed you are right,"

"Then why can't I see your face," I inquired the goddess turned away from me and gazed out again.

"It's better that no one knows what I look like but yet imagines who they want me to be, so that each individual person has there own perfect goddess with the different traits and physical features that they want me to have...that way everyone is happy and no one is disappointed, our own perfect goddess...as I put it,"

I nodded to her. That was understandable, we all picture our idols and gods our own certain way and showing what they truly looked like will spoil the fun and ruin that perfect image we had in our minds.

"Goodbye my sweet Ava, I'll give you a gift so you know this wasn't just a dream when you awake."

She turned towards me and cupped my cheek bringing it closer to her and through her hair she placed a soft kiss on my forehead. "I'll help you heal from the pain," she pulled away and gazed at me. "I'm sorry I put you through this, forgive me," she mumbled her voice cracking and the droplets of water shimmering through her hair and falling into a pit of nothing.

The reality begun to fade, I wished so desperately to stay but I knew that wouldn't happen.

I still have a story to write...
