ReAwakened!

2.The Truth

I examined the room, it was big as usual - like the other rooms-was white in color, not red, blue or yellow but pure white which was shocking because mum hates white, she likes every other color in this world except white. However, the rest of the room was strange too. It did not have a bed or a television, no closets nor was there a washroom. It was a plain white room. It had a table in the corner with a glass ball and some
candles. Above the table was a bookshelf filled with books, all covered in white. There were no window which was odd because mum loves fresh air. In front of us, two nails stood hanging nothing.
I absolutely hated that room ,it was lifeless and stupid.
Mom, let's me into the room and bolts the door behind me whilst murmuring something. After she was done she exhaled heavily which changed THE WHOLE ROOM. I didn't know that if she exhaled heavily then rooms would change COLOR. The whole room changed into a fuchsia of magenta, violet and black.
I - loved-it , it was amazing, instead of asking her questions (relevant questions) like How do she do this?!Are there micro-responsers around, to recognize her voice?! And why was I suspended in thin air?! Most importantly, why was I dressed like a witch?!
I said"wow!!!"
Literally, 'wow' I could said something else but no ,I said wow.
Other things in the room changed or rather came into existence, like the nails ,they held one long black majestic spear which was connected to a violet crystalline bi-pyramiadial apex. It also had magenta metallic strip helically around it. The glass ball was filled with Oxford blue liquid and the books and the shelf complimented each other with a range of black and violet colors. I changed, too.
Firstly I was flying ,secondly my clothes,they morphed from a pair of sweats into a draped black skirt and a tight top with a plunging neckline. The back was covered by a long ,silky, Violet cloak. Magenta increased my likeliness over the dress by bordering the the whole outfit. I also were a choker with a Violet crystal as it's center.
"You aren't a mortal"mom said ,her voice terrified and trembling. I didn't believe that .How would anyone believe that?I thought she was playing with me.
"Guys,can out. My birthday is close but no pre-birthday celebrations.(it was three months apart). This is freaky. Dad please stopped the anti gravity machine. Terry are you home."
"No , Carol,there's no one here. This is what you truly are" her voice was breaking.
I ignoring her continued "Alan,are you done with the halographic stuff and Maggie,what did you put me in the morning. Did you people spend millions to design this outfit? To prank !"
"Carol, listen to this carefully. You mam, aren't a mortal and your gonna deal with that "her eyes filled with tears , rage and helplessness. She looked right into my eyes.
She grabbed my hand and dragged me to a long mirror which wasn't present there before . With a choked voice she said" Look at yourself,don't you feel good? Don't you feel this is too big for a prank?!"
I saw what she was talking about.i saw myself in the mirror. My eyes changed it's color from brown to dark violet,my hair grew straight with violet color at the end of the long silk of brown. My lips got a reddish tint in them. I had a strange expression on my face, a kind of face you put on when you killed someone intentionally. Not guilty,but wicked dark expressions. I stood there like the dark queen or something.
I freaked but my face didn't depict that it instead was serene ,at peace."Why,not possible?"my voice should have been shaky but it wasn't. It was peacefully dark. Scary.
I also had a black tattoo covering both of my cheeks, my temples and whole forehand. Different violet flowers were sophisticatedly arranged on my head. I wanted to gasp but my mouth busy smiling instead I asked her a question"why?"darkly.
"Before I tell you everything,I want you to keep calm. Carol , you're hurting me"she choked. I looked at her away from the mirror. She held her neck to free herself from an invisible hand that held her by in air.
I tried to reach her but I couldn't I was not able to move. I tried to shout for help but my lips didn't move a inch.
After trying a lot, I was able to mouth "stop, stop choking her" it burst my neck to say them. It was mere torture.
But as soon as I said that she breathed .mom was back on her feet.
"Carol,thank you"she breathed.
I wanted to go to her or at least ask her if she was really fine,if she was okay but my lips won't move. As much as I would try there would be scorching on the part of my body I wanted to move.
"Carol, stop freaking out. Each time you do that the people around you get hurt.Please.."she asked silently.
I nodded in response.
"So, Carol. You ..you are the descendant of the Oracle. Yours is in Minnesota. You have been summoned and you ate supposed to ....go" I saw her struggle to get the words out.
Even though I understood nothing what she just said. I tried to force my mind and think about what she said or what she wants me to know. But I couldn't. I have never been to Minnesota.
For the first time in my life I had no clue about she was talking. I tried once again to say something. This time it was easier. I said"Mom,I don't understand"burning my throat.
"Carol,for God's sake, please stop talking. I don't want you to burn"she said silently.
"I'll explain but please stop talking"she pleaded.
I nod again.
"At the beginning, which you people today call it the big bang. There wasn't any earth or Terra. There was only Coelumania or heaven,people of that world called coelumans and there was Infernum or hell with there people inferians. As the historical myth suggests there wasn't any war or power issues between them. Their behavior could be compared to those people who come from different cultures to the same party. They could interact with each other on a place in which both of their powers are balanced. You see Carol,the coelumans had more of light in them. The sun never sets in Coelumania, likewise the sun never rises in Infernum due to the darkness filled in them. However, Terra was created by the gods to bring a common ground between them."
I was listening to her . But something was wrong with my expressions. I was so scared inside,I couldn't get over the fact that me freaking out could cost my mom's life. I tried to control my emotions as much as I can,normally I would need all of my strength and concentration to do this. Still there was enough peace in my mind that I could listen to history. Though all of this was going on still my face was so happy,so content...
"Viribus, the god of leadership, honesty and strength made the earth stable, rigid whilst Amare, goddess of love, prosperity and beauty made the earth revolve around a source of light to give the day-light cycle,she made the plants, animals and the ground.
Viribus helped her create the the skies everything that flies, water and lava. So both the realmic citizens started meeting each other to discuss the differences between them,for communication or sometimes just for recreation."
"Everything was well and fine until Viribus and Amare decided to be together. But the elders, they... " Mom wasn't all right ,she was just coughing and trying to breathe properly. I wanted to help her but each time I tried to get to her. Something could pull me back, like it's hands were always on my waist. I was helpless and sad to see her struggling. She was never this women who struggled. I never pictured her like that. That might be the reason why I wanted to cry. I turned from her to escape some of her pain.
"The elders"she continued after recovering from her breathing condition."didnot agree to their new relationship. Since , Amare was one of the most important part of Coelumania,she was deprived to go to Infernum and the was the case with Viribus also. But after a long war, at last they were to together on Terra or the earth which started the hardships between heaven and hell. But they termed their relation officially as'love'which is considered offensive and poisonous on both worlds but on Terra it signified something else.
There was a cold war between coelumans and the inferians but no one thought the realmic war would be ignited by the murder of Viribus and Amare."
I felt awkwardly sad by knowing this. I have read a lot of mythological books, Shakespeare's plays , and a lot of sad romantic drifts between the main characters but nothing made me so sad. The emotion that I felt affected my mum she began coughing hard again her heart beat fast to an extent that it might have stopped if I didn't close my sadness into a box that I buried deep in the darkest and deepest place in my mind. She thanked me for that help as she knew that me doing that sent a hundred knives straight into my head. I could see the pity in her eyes for me but still my brave mum continued"Someone, someone from either of the realms killed Amare and Viribus on Terra. As the Earth was free for anyone from either of the worlds to enter someone assassinated them both. This lead to the realmic war between these
Worlds.They tried destroying each others worlds but were actually destroying Terra which infuriated Vimars. Virmars they were the children of Viribus and Amare, beautiful and strong like their parents they were understructible in Terra and started destroying everything,they showed no mercy to any world .But the war ended eventually,some say it was the OrAcle who end the war ,some say the realms unite to end it but no one knew the reality. Vimars were banished, don't know where don't know how but the highest were put in some forgotten place sealed with a curse ."
Even though I had a lot of questions about the history class . I was only able to force out the word"How?"
"No one knows, Carol. Not even the gatekeepers"she said smiling faintly.
Who were the gatekeepers?
Why was listening to all of this?
How was this related to my existence?
Is there going to be another mythlogical story because I didn't want that. I couldn't see mum struggling to mouth each word. I couldn't bear it anymore.
"The gatekeepers,honey"she properly checked my face to find any sign of distress but I shut my feelings up in a box so she wasn't hurt anymore. I think she understood that so she continued " When the realmic war ended,the OrAcle created eight gatekeepers or oraclians . Viribus and Amare created certain cracks or gates connecting all three worlds ,which them gone anyone could invade their beautiful creation so there best friends created oraclians with four gatekeepers guarding the gates between Coelumania and Terra while other between Infernum and Terra.
As they were a hybrid between a human and a coeluman,they couldn't be harmed by any individual of the two worlds and this applied to the other gatekeepers too. Blessed by OrAcle they were legends in restoring the fallen gates."she sounded devoted talking about the gatekeepers but that made me recollect something. The last time she sounded devoted (scared but still devoted) was when she said you are the descendant of the Oracle. You aren't a human. SO WAS I ONE OF THE GATEKEEPERS?! !
"Yes,you are "replied mum. I thought that I was shouting in my mind but the force that held my mouth close, opened to mouth these sentences but instead of sounding freaky ,my words were pleasured with happiness.
I had to rearrange my mind to take everything she just said. I was a GATEKEEPER!! . How was that even possible? I needed answers , now?!
Slowly and carefully, without projecting much of my feelings ,I asked her to tell me more about myself. Somewhere, somehow I was happy to know about mu truth, my existence.
"Our ancestors guarded the gates between Infernum and Terra."she said ,still devoted" You, Caroline Katty Anderson are the true descendant of the OrAcle. You are a GATEKEEPER."she declared.
She was happy for a sec and then her smile transformed into pain. With her heart was racing and her head sweating bullets, she continued" Love, yesterday we received a Nuntium inviting you to the Ostiarius mansion, which is life threatening because every time a gatekeeper is called, one of them returns died"she was gasping hard. She took a minute to calm her down and said
"Honey but I I... don't want you to go" I was happy that she was concerned but what if there are any consequences? I was just thinking about this before I said
"How dare you? You foolish freak. How dare you deprive me of my rights, my existence. You don't even deserve ito stand in front of me and you are denying the Guardian of something. I the true oraclian demand your death for you have offended the great keeper? And without my conscience I moved closer to mum threatening her even more . I didn't want to kill my mom. 'STOP,STOP' I SHOUT TO THE BUT SHE DID NOT .
NOTHING HAPPENED ,HELPLESSLY I SHOUT "DADA!" LOUDLY. This time there was a burning pain in my throat indicating that I did something offensive to the gatekeeper .
I stopped to find my mum helpless in the floor. She smiled faintly "thank you" she said and slide to unconsciousness...
