I'm a what?

Chapter 4

*** Not as long this time. But some questions answered and more crreated :-D. Enjoy! ***

Clarissa POV

It was weird. I knew something was wrong, I felt myself fall into Kale’s arms as the blackness surrounded me but I could still feel and hear everything. Kale was frantically shaking me and shouting my name, the desperation in his voice when he addressed Gregor. That was until I heard a new voice everything else stopped.

“Child, happy birthday” A vision of a lady drifted toward me, she wore a floating white dress, had blonde hair and beautiful blues eyes, she looked like an angel. If I could have dropped my jaw in wonder I would have. She was truly beautiful. “Communicate with your thoughts” She instructed.

‘What happened, where am I?’ This caused a chuckle from the woman.

“My dear, you are still where you were only a few moments ago. The only way for me to communicate with you is like this through mind link”

‘Ok… so who are you? I mean I am guessing this has something to do with my abilities?’

“It has everything to do with them and much more. You are about to become one of the most powerful Fay in the history of our race. Fay had always been neutral in wars and we answer to no-one but each other. Unfortunately the same could not be said for your father, he pulled people into his battles. He died during a battle with the Mystics. Since his death we have had peace. All of us. Mystics, Old Ones and Fay together.

However, there are a few who wish to restart the war, destroy Fay altogether and claim power over all. There are not many of us left now after the last battle, we had to fight against our own kin and Old Ones as they sought to destroy the Mystics. You are safe with Kale and Gregor, they will protect you. I must go now, I cannot keep you much longer though I hate to let you go” There was a hint of panic in her voice.

‘Wait, so are you alive, I mean can I find you in person? Who are you??’

“Yes I am alive, but no you cannot find me. I do not know where I am, I have been a prisoner since my daughter was born 17 years ago when it was foretold she would hold the key to peace or war”

My mind was in turmoil, it made no sense… then it clicked ‘Mother?’ I wanted to plead for her to stay with me but her form was already floating away from me.

“Yes Clarissa. I love you my child, do not forget that” with that she disappeared, I began to hear Kale speaking again. I didn’t want to leave this state of mind, I wanted her to come back and tell me more.

A sharp pain in my head would not let me rest, I sat upright clutching at my head. “Kale!” Strong arms enveloped me holding me while I cried silent tears, my body shaking full of emotions. Kale whispered soothing words into my ear. The pain soon subsided and I slept.

***MUCH LATER***

I awoke to sunlight streaming in through the window, I stretched my arms and felt my muscles react and wake up. I looked around me, I was in a different room but all my belongings were in here. My lotions and makeup on the vanity showed me that someone had taken care in moving my things and putting them just right.

I swung my legs out of bed and stood. I felt well rested and had no aches or pains but I did not trust myself to not be wobbly, I had no idea how long I had been asleep.

“A few days Princess” I swung round to face Kale stood in the doorway with a big grin on his face. “Wow, you have certainly blossomed with your abilities”

“Did you just read my mind??” I stared accusingly, wondering how many private thoughts he may have listened in on.

“No my love, you spoke to me with your mind.”

“Oh. So that is my gift, I can talk to people with my mind? How does that make me the most powerful Fay in history?” I pouted slightly disappointed.

“Most powerful Fay in history? Clarissa what are talking about? Yes we know your abilities will be strong but…” He left the sentence unfinished.

“Of course, silly me” I giggled “I have been sleeping. Come sit with me while I tell you of my meeting with my mother”

Kale looked at me like I must have gone mad, part of me did feel like maybe I was slipping that way. I could not form into words to speak, to tell him. So I closed my eyes and replayed the conversation, every detail was recreated, wishing for him to see it also.

After a few minutes I opened my eyes and looked at Kale. “So” he locked eyes with mine “you truly are part of the prophecy.”

“Yep” I popped the ‘p’ and was feeling elated, I wanted to see what else I could do. I concentrated on the other side of the closed bedroom door, closed my eyes and when I opened them I was outside the room. Kale came bounding out and ran straight into me.

“What just happened? Did you just transport yourself?” Shock and awe filled his voice holding onto me as if I might disappear again.

“I guess so, I just wanted to see what else I could do. Now this gift is handy” I said with a smile on my face.

I walked back into the room and through to the en-suite to shower. Turning on the taps I walked to the small mirror, the face looking back at me was mine but something was different. I swept my hair on the top of my head and stopped. Looking back me truly was the face of a pixie. My blue eyes suddenly sharper and clearer blue like my real mothers. The tips of my ears ever so pointed and my lips seemed more plump. I ran through to the bedroom shower abandoned and looked at myself in the full length mirror. What happened to me?

Kale POV

I watched as Clarissa ran from the bathroom and stood in front the full length mirror. I saw the changes in her body as they had happened over the last two days. The way her ears changed, just slightly. Her complexion cleared, her eye bags lost their darkness and her slight reckless disappeared. They way her lips filled out more and became almost delectable.

When she woke and was standing I could see her legs, even more toned than before she was slightly taller also. The change that had an effect on both Clarissa and I was her figure. It was far more defined than before, gone was the body of a girl. There before me was a woman, and one I wanted with every fibre in my body.

I walked up behind her, wrapping my arms around her. I turned her to me and kissed her ever so gently. Enjoying the way our lips moulded and she brought her body into mine. Without talking, or breaking our kiss we made our way to the shower. Self control was definitely needed.
