Rose is her name and that's all she can remember, except for the fact that she know she had a different life before the one she is currently living.
She had woken up with only a necklace and dressed in armor with a jewel encrusted sword strapped to...
"The what?" I ask "The Blue Fire Opal Knife" my mom says smiling slightly. "What is it and what's it got to do with me?" I ask.
My mother let out a breath as she said, "You better get comfortable, because this is a long story." She muttered but we all heard her
"A time ago before you or any of your brothers were born even before there was a lady_a witch. Her name was Miakoda." My mom stopped before sucking in a breath and releasing an uneasy breath.

Miakoda
"She was an orphan in a tribe when she was younger, but once her people learned of her powers and visions of the future as one of her powers she possessed they thought of her as a devils spawn. They made her an outcast and banished her from their tribe thinking she was an evil spirit."
Flashes of dark mass surrounding me clouded my mind,but I tried to shake those thoughts off and listen to the rest.
"She became isolated in the forest only for her powers to grow stronger and stronger each day. She befriended a vampire a few years down the line. She was they only friend she had."
My mom smiled sadly as if she remembered something bittersweet about what she said.
"During the next few years power hungry enemies wanted her and her powers but she stayed in the clear of them for that time. A couple years later when she was now a young adult she ended up finding the love of her life. Her own true love. Her own best friend being the only one at the small ceremony they held. They were happy together, even with enemies on the loose they had their happiness. Both Miakoda and her husband had a beautiful baby boy named Anakin. As he grew the threats from the enemies of his mother got worse for her and her husband."
Tears threatening to fall from her silver eyes.
"Her vampire friend already jumping in to help Miakoda with whatever he or her family needed, but the witch declined. She had been working on something special for years now. Something extraordinary that could help anyone in need. Anyone dying or dead. She still has not perfected it when the gruesome people attacked. She had already his her 5 year old son and cast a protection spell around him so that no one would hurt him."
Mom choked back a sob as she said the next part.
"Her friend tried to help but Miakoda locked her in for her safety not wanting her to get hurt as she was now pregnant with her beloved's child. Miakoda and her own husband fought side by side trying to protect their son. Before she could turn to help her husband someone stabbed him in the stomach making him drop to the floor. She lost it then, her powers truly unleashing killing everyone in her path of destruction. With everyone dead she bent down to her dying husband trying to keep him alive but it was no use. He passed away in her arms."
Flashes of a woman with dark hair and dark eyes held a man With blood seeping through a wound in his stomach laying motionless.
"With her anger unleashing she threw the closest things to her into her fire place which turned out to be a knife and blue opal stone. She had been screaming out with agony people could hear miles away from the loss of her one true love. With her emotions out of place her powers everywhere she striked the fire until it burned out. There she saw what was known as The Blue Fire Opal Knife. With so much pain and sorrow she felt she didn't want anyone else to feel this way. She put all of her powers into the knife thinking of it as a saviour from death. As a beacon of hope to people with dying or dead loved ones. She made this knife so powerful to save people from death itself. Anyone to cut an X above the heart with the knife as well as a slash in the persons left and right palm will slowly revive to soon become living again healthy."
More flashes of a shadow looming over me with a blue knife with bright yellow surroundingthe edge of it. The knife glinting in the moon as the shadow came closer to me with the knife before it went dark.
"With all her power she used for that one knife to help people, it drained her of everything causing her to bury the knife somewhere hidden only her little boy knew of before slowly dying in her lovers arms."
My mother wiped a tear away from her eye before taking a deep breath. "Do you have any of those scars Rose?"
I looked down at my hands which had a slash on each palm since I had woken up. I held up my hands and showed them the scars.
"You have those two, but do you have the X scar above your heart?" My dad asked this time. I shrugged and pulled my shirt down a little to see an X the size of a half dollar coin.
I gasp, who would help me, to save me? "Where is the knife now?" I ask wondering where this magic knife could be. My mother smiled sadly again.
"It was gone as was Miakoda's son. Seemed as if he ran off or was taken. Her friend found them both amd went to go get her husband to help her. When she ran back their bodies were gone. Miakoda's best friend looked for their bodies and her son for her knowing Miakoda would want to find her kid and raise him. She searched and searched but never found him or the knife. They thought it was gone forever. Obviously it's not since your here with us again."
My mom smiled and held my hand in hers. "Who would save me?" I voiced my thoughts out loud.
"I don't know, I really don't. Especially someone with that powerful knife. It could be Miakoda's kid but he's been gone for centuries now." My mother responded.
I nod think of this new information I just received. All of this, about my past life and crazy powers were giving me headaches.
But one thought kept lingering in my mind since my mom started the story of Miakoda. "Mom?" I question quietly. "Yes dear?" She answered her voice cracking at the end.
"You know so much about this story, too much for you to have just heard about it. You told the story with as much pain as I see in your eyes right now." I say thinking it over about her and her reaction to the story.
My mom stiffened by my words as if she was caught red handed before sobbing into my arms. I just held her as she cried until she lifted herself up and wiped the tears away.
"The vampire, the best friend of Miakoda.....I'm that vampire in the story. Miakoda was my best friend until she passed along with her husband." My mom said confirming my suspicions.
