chapter 8 ( Isis)

Bonnie's P. O. V

 

I rolled on the ground in complete agony I couldn't breathe and I felt heavy inside, my body started to give in, my eyes started to get heavy and close I tried to keep them open, to at least try and call out for Zack but all I could let out was a small groin before everything went black.

I woke up in a drake place, it was an empty room and the silence was consuming. I heard something, it was soft footsteps coming towards me, and from the darkness a lady emerged, she was beautiful her perfect porcelain skin glowed her shoulder length black hair complimenting her hazel eye.

She wore a long white linen dress which had a golden a thick golden belt, an a neck piece on her head a golden head piece she has four wide bracelets two on her upper arm and two on each of her wrists. She was bare foot and had simple anklet on her feet; she almost looked like some Egyptian princess or something.

She walked up to me and cupped my face in her hand.

"You're a pretty one, child" she smiled at me and I looked at her utterly confused. " just like your mother " my heart dropped.

"Who are you?" I took a step back.

"Oh. Pardon my manners I haven't properly introduced myself, how rude of me to start bombarding you without a proper introduction "she shook her head.

"My name is Isis daughter of Geb and Nut "she gave a genital smile.

"You're telling you're the goddess Isis" I laughed and she simply nodded.

"You're my new host or companion so to say "she explained

"Host? As in you're like a disease or like you do horror movie possess me?" I blurted out. .

"None of the above. It's like our two spirits share your body but you're still in full control I just sit in here waiting for you to call on me "she explained.

"I don't understand "I told her

"Long ago when me and my family line was living we were brought to earth with special abilities, we were born to serve our people in different ways. Ra the oldest of us all gave each of us a gift when we were older it was a pendent. Each supposed god was given one with a symbol the people associated us with, like me I had the yet. This pendent was supposed to store our spirits once our physical bodies died "she elaborated and I was still in disbelief.

"When someone puts on the pendant our spirit moves to the person making them our host, this enables them to speak to us and other gods in other people. And also harness our power when they need it "I sat on the cold floor trying to take in what she said.

"So you'll be living in my body "this was the only thing that could leave my mouth.

"Yes " she smiled almost thrilled.

"And there goes my piece of mind "I muttered under my breath.

"Don't worry you won't even notice I'm here " she explained.

"What if I take off the pendant?" I asked

"You can't "she simply let out and I looked at her puzzled.

"What do you mean I can't "I asked her wide eyed?

"As long as you take the breath of life, the pendent doesn't leave your neck, it is because of the spell that binds it. It causes the host and the god to be together till the body of the host dies "she illustrated.

"Like a marriage. Till death do us part or at least your death, but that will be hard because the pendent protects you only a handful of things will be able to inflict deadly harm"
