Aura

The Explanation

I nod my head and stare into her glowing eyes. A burning feeling coming from mine let's me know mine are glowing as well. She smiles at the sight and I hear Damon gasp.

"This is crazy" he whispers.

I nod and stare down at Remi who seems really confused, but she stills smiles up at me.

"Please explain what's going on!" I say.

"Eager are we?" She teases gently.

I nod multiple times and try to force myself to calm down. This is just so crazy. Thats the only word I can think of. My whole life I've been different. And now there is someone with the same, uniqueness right in front of me.

"Alright well as you know, your eyes aren't the only thing that's special about you. Your wolf is fully black."

"Wait, How do you know I have a black wolf?" I ask suspiciously eyeing her up. I don't totally trust her yet.

"Dear, I know everything special about you" she says while smiling.

She must have seen my facial expression, since she quickly speaks again.

"Relax, and just listen and it will all make sense" she says soothingly.

I take a deep breath and do as she asks. She smiles one last time before beginning her explanation.

"You are extremely special, that's why your eyes glow and your wolf is black"

Tell me something I don't know.

"The reasoning behind this is because of her"

"Her? Who is 'her'?" I ask with a frown.

She gives me a look like I'm an idiot.

"The moon goddess of course?"

Wait She's real?

"She exists? I thought that was just a story people told little kids?" Damon asks, pretty much voicing exaclty what I was thinking.

"No, she does exists. Proof is in Aura and I" she says as if she's deffending the Goddeses's honor.

"But how do we tie in to a goddess?" I ask confused.  I'm still not making a connection here.

"The moon goddess created werewolves! She made us out of her power. With out her, we wouldn't exist. Back thousands of years ago, when she first became a goddess. She wanted to still experience the joy of children. But sadly she could never cast aside her role as a goddess to become a mother. So she decided to make us.... her own form of children. The moons power controls our shifting and the Goddes controls the moon."

Pause.

"She also, very rarely touches some of her children... Not in a physical way, she blesses certain deserving souls"

"Touches? What do you mean?"

"She has marked both you and I. That's why we are special."

My mouth opens and closes. A goddess favouring me?

"It's true. Let me ask you something, what's your wolfs name?"

"Selene" I say slowly. She grins from ear to ear, looking very pleased.

"Exactly. It is believed that one of the moon goddesses many human names is Selene"

I gasp. She continues on.

"Why is your wolf black?"

I stare blankly at her. I have no idea why Selene is black. I have a feeling I'm about to find out though.
