The Dark Hunters

Chapter 22

Odeya POV

I pull out a pair of jeans, my weapons belt, a navy blue tank top, a white long sleeve that doesn't cover the shoulders, and a hair binder.

I throw my clothes on, and braid my hair to a side.

Titan appears next to me.

I jump, startled by his sudden appearance.

"Come." He says, and bounds away farther into the woods, not looking to see if I follow.
Now, a normal person would not follow some Feline that just disappears into the forest. Common sense right?

But of course, I follow him.

I find him standing in front of a magnificent oak tree. Its branches almost golden colored, even when I look up I cannot see the top of it.

I don't say a word as he gestures for me to stand next to him.

"This is the Tree of Salvation." Titan growls quietly. "It will give you what you need. All you have to do is ask."

Confused, I do as he says. I walk up to the tree, and the closer I get to it I somehow get the feeling of what to do.

I am now about 2 inches from the bark of the tree, and I know exactly what to do. Somehow, somewhere, there's a voice inside of me. Speaking to me. Telling me exactly what to do.

I put my hand against the tree and close my eyes. It calls to me, with a power that's making me want to tell it everything. So I don't hold back.

Using my mind, I tell the tree my story telepathically. How I was a carefree child when I was younger. How I chose to be a Dark Hunter. How I almost died. Twice.

I tell the tree about Peter, Braden, and what we are planning to do.
I tell the tree everything.
It just comes out like I can't stop it even if I wanted to.
The tree soaks up my information like a sponge as I finish.

I step back from the tree and look at it.
It doesn't do anything at first. It just stands there, as if thinking it over. Well of course it stands there it's a flipping tree!

I am about to roll my eyes and walk away, when suddenly gold blazing lights come out of the roots and climb up the trunk, leaving the leaves at their tips.

I turn and flow the stream as it circles a rock near us. I watch it form a white dress. Not just any white dress, a wedding dress. It's beautiful. It has a veil that reaches to the waist. It covers the neck in a V form, and connects with a brooch.

The brooch is lined with gold, and in the middle, a deep blue sapphire with little silver flecks scattered inside it.
The sapphire matches my eyes.

A veil-like material covers the neck, shoulders and arms, ending with triangles on the bases of the hands. With white flower patterns sewed into the material.

A white silky type material covers the chest-down past the ankles.

Another layer of veil-like material starts at the top of the silky white dress, and splits off, covering part of my upper arms and my chest.

Under the gorgeous gown are a pair of the most perfect white ballet slippers. Made out of white silk.
It's beautiful.

Another stream of gold light circles another rock, and atop this one, a wood bow. A bow with the word 'love' engraved in the middle on both sides.
It has a swirly dot pattern continuing on either side of 'love'.

A brown quiver, with at least thirty, silver, thin-tipped arrows, appears next to the bow.

The arrows and bow look flawless, and in extremely good condition.

I watch another stream of light circle, yet another rock. On this one, a golden shield appears. In the middle of the shield, a Felines head, its mouth open, in a roaring motion.Scratch marks decorate the rest of the shield.
