Memories of Midnight

Part 27 *Vixen*

I waited in my chambers patiently. Nate and a guard left to retrieve something that had been left in my Physical Realm home. Suddenly Nate fell through the portal, the guard coming out after him screaming.

"Sir, please calm down! You'll hurt yourself portaling too fast!"

I got up to help, but Nate was quickly on his feet again. He turned and motioned for the guard to come forward.

"Stephanie, please bring the pendant to the queen."

She stepped forward and bowed as she held out a necklace that was of an angel on a grave stone. It looked exactly like Nate's tattoo. I took it from her as Nate walked up behind me and placed the necklace around me. I looked down as I felt a sort of power emanating from it into my body. Suddenly Nate grabbed my shoulders harshly and turned me toward him as he dismissed Stephanie.

"Nate, what's going on?"

"Midnight, Miracle has placed Novae under a spell. The moment he lays eyes on you during battle he will kill you and there will be no stopping him."

I looked at Nate carefully. I knew he wasn't lying to me, his eyes said everything and it scared me. My body began to grow hot as I grew angry with Miracle. How dare she use my love to get rid of me. I quickly left my room, Nate in tow to make sure I didn't do anything rash. I went on to the lawn and yelled me heart out which quickly turned into a howl, shaking all of Grave Angel Castle.

"Midnight? Are you okay?"

I quickly turned to him growling, red eyes glowing almost as bright as the sun. I went back inside when I felt a burning sensation upon my chest. I looked down to see my necklace shining and leaving a mark on me. I ripped off the necklace to see a small tattoo like Nate's forming. I gasped and turned toward Nate. He looked at me wide eyed and slowly began to smile at me.

He walked up to me and held me close.

"Nate, I don't understand what's happening."

"Your mother has finally dubbed you as queen and leader of the Grave Angels."

He held me out as people filled the halls and surrounded us. I looked at everyone and slowly smiled. They all got down on one knee and placed a fist over their hearts.

"We all support you my queen."

I bowed to all of them and looked down at my new tattoo. That's when I noticed something familiar about it. I looked at Nate's arm and noticed the same thing.

"Nate, please come with me."

I grabbed him and lead him to the angel painting in the main hall. We both looked at all the images and gasped.

"Are you seeing this?"

He softly nodded as I wrapped myself in my arms.

"The angel looks exactly like you Midnight."

Nate turned away and looked directly at me as the angel in the painting moved and pointed to me then to my mother's chambers.
