Powers of the Red Moon

chapter 9

CHAPTER 10

I still couldn’t believe it. I was sitting on my bed gazing at the picture of my parents on my bedside table. It was 2 hours since I had told them my dream and what Karen had told me was too difficult to digest. My mom was alive. It was my step-mother who had died with my father. My real mother was alive. I remembered the conversation we had.

*Flashback*

“Alexis, I need to tell you something I should have told you the moment you arrived. Your mother isn’t dead. She’s alive. Your father and your step-mother who died 10 years ago. 2 years after you were born your father left your mother. Your mother was heartbroken. A few days later she disappeared. A year later your father remarried. 1 years later your father and Mary, your step-mother, had gone to a party. You were with them.”

“Max was at home because he had a slight fever. Your parents were killed.  Your father worked for an agency who kept everyone safe from rogue magicians. He had many enemies. We feared that one of them had taken your mother as revenge. We think that the same person killed them.  You were hurt pretty badly. When you recovered you had no memory whatsoever of what happened. The first 5 years of your life were a blank to you.”

“To keep you safe from whoever had attacked you’re parents you were taken to an orphanage in London. Max was safe because they hadn’t seen him. You were in more danger than him. He could be protected by Julian but you could not. Your father was powerful but if he could not defend himself against the attackers than even Julian could not as Michael was more powerful than Julian. You were safe as long as you didn’t remember your past. When you started showing control over your power’s Julian came to take you back to your family but Sam Connors refused.”

“A few weeks after Julian came back your mother was found. She, as we suspected, been taken by one of Michael’s enemies. I don’t know if they let her go or she escaped but on day Catherine managed to make her way here. She told us that she had escaped and then we realised if she had escaped than they would try to track her down. So we hid her. The house where we hid her had as many protective enchantments as we could put on it to make it safe.  Your dream was not stupid. I had just got off the phone with her when you came out.”

*END OF FLASHBACK*

 It was just so hard to believe. I first found out that my parents were not really my parents and that my real parents were dead and then I find that my mother wasn’t dead. Suddenly I heard a knock on my door, disturbing my thoughts. I said “come in.” Max walked in and sat on the bed next to me.

“I just wanted to check that you were OK. I know you had a pretty nasty shock back there.” He started. “Yeah I’ll say” I replied, dryly. He smiled at me and said “you’re handling it pretty well. If I was in your place I wouldn’t be so calm. I mean, I am really shocked myself.” He continued.

“What do you mean?” I asked. “Well, I knew that who died with dad wasn’t our mother but I didn’t know that they had found her. You must be wondering yesterday when we were discussing our powers I overreacted a bit. That was because I thought our mother was dead and you have her powers while I have all the of dad’s powers. I should feel sad because he’s dead but Karen is alive and she’s his sister so I truly think of him as dead but with mom it’s different. She doesn’t have a real brother or sister so it makes you all the more special. But now I know she’s alive so I don’t really have anything to be jealous of.” He finished.

“I’m just so shocked. When I had that...dream I didn’t really think much about it but when mum mentioned Karen I thought about our aunt but then I remembered there are a hundred other Karen’s in the world and then when I came out I saw Karen getting off her phone and I started having my doubts.”
