Breaking Silence

Chapter Twenty

Two weeks have passed and I am just so thankful that I survived Ashanti's training and I am able to move around freely without my bones cracking with every slight movement that I make.

Once again I was left all alone while he was out running some errands which he failed to mention. I didn't mind although I did have a few questions that I wanted to ask him and they were just eating at my insides.

Going into the guest room which he had finally cleaned up for me, I jumped onto the comfortable bed and let all my worries sink away as I was enjoying the comfort of the soft mattress.

Pulling the covers over my head and wrapping my legs tightly around the large pillows, I felt like a child that did not have to worry about being captured. I used to always imagine I was in another world whenever I was under my covers when I was a little girl, then again, I had a wild imagination.

One minute ago I was full of energy and now I felt like I hadn't had a goodnight sleep in what felt like ages. My eyes were tired and slowly closing as I was being pulled away from the real world and into the realm of dreams.

The sound of running water caused me to wake up to see that I was no longer in Ashanti's guest room but surrounded by trees and magical sounding birds and a beautiful river. It was such an exquisite and mystical place that I instantly knew that there was no way this could be a real place.

A light and airy laugh that I remembered all too well rang through my ears causing a shiver to run down my spine as the memories flooded my mind.

"Alejandra." It felt so good to hear her voice calling out my name as I turned around to face her with a few tears running down my cheeks.

She looked exactly like how I remembered her to be, except the glow in her eyes was missing and I could see the sadness hidden behind her smile.

"Mommy." My voice came out a little above a whisper as I saw her flowing, blonde hair. The white, knee length dress that she was wearing made her look just like the angel she was.

She was my angel, but she left me all alone to fend for myself.

"Why mommy? Why did you leave me all alone and didn't even think about telling me the truth about this." Right now I couldn't stop the tears that was just pouring out of my eyes as I faced my mother.

It wasn't long before I was tightly wrapped in her arms as I cried into her shoulder. She gently patted my back while whispering sweet things in my ear.

"I wanted to tell you Ally, I really did. But," she paused as she pulled away from me and looked into my eyes. Something in her eyes had changed as I slowly pulled away from her.

"But the Moon Goddess has special plans for you and of course your child." She no longer seemed caring and loving but dangerous and cruel.

It was then that the words sunk into my head as I realized that she thought I was pregnant.

"I'm not pregnant," I stuttered. "How could I possibly be pregnant if I haven't done anything and what do you mean special plans for me?" This wasn't making any sense.

She let out a bone chilling laugh as she shook her head." Oh Alejandra. Your child is going to be the one to stop the war that is coming and obviously you and Ashanti are going to complete the mating bond in less than two weeks." 

"Oh don't act so surprised Missy. Did you really think the Goddess was going to wait for you to take your sweet time? Especially when she is the one wanting this war to begin. After all, you and Ashanti are going to stop this war, but that won't prevent future wars and your child will put a permanent end to it."

That shocked me although it shouldn't have because of my encounter with the Goddess herself. This just made me realize that she is just looking for a way to kill all wolves while putting me in the middle of her equation.

"So you're telling me that psychotic woman just wants to end the lives of all of her creations? Besides, how can my child put an end to this? Can't she just create someone to do her dirty work." My voice was getting louder as the anger in me got stronger.

"Well technically darling, that is why our kind was created. She was just waiting to see if the werewolves would have changed their ways, but they obviously haven't and she's tired of waiting," she paused, a wicked grin crawling onto her face. "Your family will be unstoppable."

Sadness, anger and grief all mixed into one was just messing with my emotions. I didn't know what or how to feel and I just wanted this all to end. My body didn't know how to react as I charged at a tree and slammed my fist into it as hard as I could.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel any pain as if my entire body was just numb. I had a smile on my face as the tears run down my face and I kept on punching the tree until it fell down as I moved onto another tree.

I didn't no how long I was punching trees but when I was done, it was then that I realized that there were no more trees to let out my anger out on and I just sat down in the dirt crying my eyes out.

"Are you done yet? I mean there are no more trees to punch," my mother, or whatever that looked like her said. I could just hear the humour in her voice as she looked down at my crying form but I didn't care if I looked weak.

I was weak. My life was just one huge mess that just rotates in a circle of misery and pain and I hated every single minute of it.

"Well it looks like we are done here," the thing impersonating my mother said, as I was sucked out of whatever place that I was in and back to the real world.

I tightly gripped onto the pillow and just let my emotions flow not knowing what it was that I should do.
