Bad Boy Love (On Hold)

Spirit of The Arrows

This is where the story gets extremely different. You’re going to find out a lot of things in this chapter, and it’s going to be crazy. If you need me to explain it for you afterwards just let me know. :)

Chapter 9: Spirit of the Arrows

Lydia

“So let me get this straight, there are two types of spirits?” I asked Miriam (Stefan’s mom). She was going on and on about how Stefan and I are Spirits of the Arrows. I’m so confuzzled. Why didn’t I know any of this before?!

          “Would you like me to start over, maybe a second time would help you understand better.” She said. Yea that would be very helpful Miriam.

I nodded my head and Stefan was still in his own little panicky mode. He still thought I killed a guy, and that he was some kind of monster. Stefan get a grip.

Miriam began with her story about Spirits of the Arrows.

“Once Upon a time there wa--” I cut her off immediately. “I know that you’re not starting that way! That’s totally cliché. Restart.” She sighed, her green eyes looking from me to her son.

“Ok so there are two types of spirits, arrow and bow.” She paused for a while and I nodded my head for her to continue. Just because I made her re-tell the story doesn’t mean she needs to stop every single moment to see if I’ve caught up. Parents.

          “You and Stefan are Arrows. You can tell because of your birthmarks. They don’t come out of nowhere you know. The reason why you have it is because you have descended it from your parents. Like Stefan and Cole got theirs from their father and I. You got yours from your parents Lydia.” She told me. “So wait, how is Stefan an arrow and Cole a bow?” I asked her. Stefan had told me that Cole had a bow birthmark. That makes sense. Bow and arrow, get it? Not funny, ok.

“Well, Stefan’s father was an arrow. But he’s no longer with us.” I didn’t know that about Stefan’s dad. I just thought that he never liked talking about him, maybe because they were divorced or something. “Sorry, I didn’t know.” I quickly apologized. “Don’t worry about it sweetie. Now on with the story.” She cleared her throat to continue.

This story was pretty long maybe it was just wrong for me to make her re-tell it. Just this once for me to fully understand would be ok.

“Spirits are with you since you are born, like your birthmark. They protect you and make sure you don’t get into accidents and or get hurt. Some things might happen that might scare you. But you can’t die. It’s impossible for you to die while having your spirit.” She said. I couldn’t help but think, if you can’t die while having your spirit, how did Stefan’s father die?

          “As for Stefan’s father, Stefan listen carefully.” She told him. Stefan was very quiet from the first time his mother said the story. And I don’t blame him. It’s a lot to process. The only reason I haven’t stopped talking was because it’s part of my nature. Talking is my thing. But i had forgotten that he was even here. That's how quiet he was.
