I am the daughter of the Mother Goddess

Chapter 2: The big day

“Lilliana, it’s time to get ready.” The nurse shakes me awake, and I see that it’s already morning.

“What time is it?” I look around for a clock and see that it’s 11:15 that means I don’t have much time to prepare. Crap, why wouldn’t anyone wake me up?

“How are you feeling?”

“I actually feel a lot better, my head doesn’t hurt anymore but my stomach feels empty like I haven’t eaten in years.”

“That’s quiet alright. Although, you should get ready the ceremony is about to start. All of the guests are here, including your parents. Oh and everything that you need is in the bathroom, along with the dress.” She smiles and leaves the room.

Can this day get any faster, probably not. I jump out of bed, and get strip off my clothes and get in the shower. The water is impossibly warm, and I wanted to stay there forever. As I get out of the shower and dry my hair I see that my hair has turned really golden blonde. I give out a scream as I look myself in the mirror. My eyes are violet, like the purple flowers. I don’t know why I screamed but it surprised me so. I hear someone nock on my door to see if I was ok, and I tell them that I’m ok I’ll be down in a minute. The dress was hanged in a hanger and it looked beautiful. The design was amazing, it had a gold prints on the front and some of the fabric at the bottom was see through and it came down. As I put it on, the dress fits perfectly like it was made for me. I turn to look in the mirror and see those dark violet eyes with golden blonde hair.

“Lilliana it’s Misha, it’s time for you to come out of there because it’s 12:18. The ceremony will begin in about 42 minutes. Oh and by the way Happy Birthday!” I can hear her breathing behind the door and the sound of her beating heart. Whoa, did I just imagine that?

“Hey Misha, do you by any chance have sunglasses and a cap? I would really like to use that, and thanks for saying that.”

“Sure.” Hear her muffle through her bag, I open the door to make sure she doesn’t see me yet and close it again. Facing the mirror I make sure that all of my hair is intact, and I put on my sunglasses. Taking a deep breath I push the door open, and see that Misha is waiting for me. At the sound of my door she turns and yelps with excitement.

“OH MY GOSH, you look amazing! Better than I ever did. I didn’t know that you were tan, and that you had long legs.” She giggles at the last part, and I lightly punch her shoulder.

“Ouch, what was that for.”

“Don’t make fun of my legs, that’s what.” I laugh at it myself, and continue back to the room with her following me in tow.

“Why do you want to wear the cap and the sun glasses? Your brown hair looked awesome.” I gulp, because I don’t know what she would expect on my change. I also hope that she wasn’t there when I screamed at my own reflection.

“Well never mind that, don’t we have to do my hair or at least blows dry it?”

“Yes, we do. Come on sit down, while I call maids for help. They were the ones that were supposed to do it.” While she leaves the room to call for them, I think about what they will think of me when they see that I look nothing like before. I guess I would have to get used to it, and see their reactions. Two minutes later, I hear Misha and other three maids hurriedly come in and start to get out the equipment. When one of the plumb lady reaches for my cap, I block her hand I didn’t want her to see my hair color.

“Miss, please we need this removed and the sun glasses go off too.” I take a deep breath and take off my sun glasses while having my eyes closed, and I take off my cap. My golden hair spills from the cap like it wanted freedom from a horrible prison. Everyone is gasping; I hear Misha murmuring about how beautiful my hair is.

“Wait, that’s why you wanted the cap what about the sun glasses?”

“After they finish with my makeup you’ll see them. Can you make sure that they make it look like its natural? I don’t want to feel too special.”

“Ok, I’ll tell her.” I can’t see where she’s gone but I can feel the maids doing my hair while the other does the makeup. After what seems to be minutes, they say ‘All done, you can look now.’ As she hands me the mirror I make sure that no one sees my eyes and look in the mirror. My hair was very curly and it was pulled back by a pin so in the front it had a little arch, and in the sunlight it sparkled. My eyes was what caught most of my attention, because instead of them being dark they were a little bit lighter with a little spark. Misha didn’t say anything about my eyes, but that was because I left the room first before they could say anything about it. I could hear Misha running after me, and as she stood next to my right I could feel her looking at me in awe. What is going on? Am I like a jewel or a diamond? I finally look into her eyes, and she stumbles on the last step and finally knows why I was being weird about it.

“The color of your eyes are amazing, it’s not quiet blue or purple. It’s like looking at a night sky.” She blinks from her moment of trend and focuses on leading me to the ball room where everyone was waiting, including my parents.

“So what do we do exactly ones I get there, if and only if no one goes crazy and jumps on me. That would be funny though, but not before they rip my dress and I’m naked.  I would die if anyone saw me like that” We both laugh and go in through the hall.

“Well you do have boobs, so your fine.”

“Har har Misha, that wasn’t even funny.” I smiled and went in with her through the long hallway to the doorway. I guessed she was my escort, even though we just met yesterday it seemed like I knew her since we were little. As we come close, the man at the big door announces my presence and everything becomes quiet. Some of the people couldn’t believe what I looked like; it felt like I was in a wedding. Weird, I usually don’t think about myself ever getting married. I smiled at everyone like they were my friends and there stood at the long table was the Queen. She was beautiful, but not as beautiful as the goddess. I could feel that Misha went back at the front row and stood next to her mate. Next to her were my parents, their smiles were warming me already. My mom looked surprised when she met my light-dark violet eyes. I smile back, and take three steps where the Queen stood. She looks surprised at me and she starts the announcement about me joining the pack and the responsibilities. After what seemed like an hour she tells me to lay down, because she’s going to call the goddess to transform me into my wolf. As I lay down I remember my dream, and the goddess. Peace comes to me quickly, after a while I hear people shifting and I opened my eyes. The goddess stood near my left, and she was gliding towards me like she knew me. I see that everyone is kneeling including the Queen.

“My Lillian, my beautiful daughter has finally grown up. You’re the last goddess in the present time, and if you get pregnant there won’t be any more goddess’s its not possible.” Her soothing voice was much closer to me now, she was smiling down at me as I lay on the long table, is it?

“Your daughter, and what did you mean I’m the last goddess?” I look at the Queen, and then the King he looked confused too. The goddess usually never had children or is that what she meant. The prince didn’t know what to say, he just looked dumbfounded.

“You are my daughter, and I have been looking for you for centuries. You are my blood, and I am your blood.”

“Centuries, what do you mean by that? Am I actually older than 18?” I look confused, because I have no words to describe what I’m feeling right now. 

“Yes, but I can’t explain it. Someone put a spell on you so that your powers and your wolf won’t reveal until your ‘eighteenth’ birthday. Now hush and close your eyes, Lilly.” I close my eyes as she breaks the spell and I am suddenly being lifted up in the air. I open my eyes, and see that I’m glowing just like she was in the dream. The light suddenly gets even brighter than ever, and I could feel her calling to my wolf and in my minds eyes I see her (or should I say I see myself). The wolf is enormous, maybe like 17 ft. A wolf isn’t supposed to be that way, it’s too unnatural. The spirit me-wolf goes inside my body and I scream like I’ve never screamed before. The glass shutters and windows are all broken. The ball room door breaks, and everything seems to crack. And me, well I fall into a dream-less sleep.
