Daughter of the Moon

CHAPTER 27

Chapter 27

It was passed midnight and the moon was hanging high over Skyler's house radiating down on her as she saw her reflection through her glass door. As much as she tried to get a better view of herself all she saw was Amon's reflection behind her's.

“This isn't going to be easy is it.” she whispered as she looked away from Amon's reflection to the small lavender pot with a cactus on the bottom of her door. Small pink flowers bloomed from the top of the cactus as Skyler then felt Amon's strong arms around her and sighed.

“Anything is possible.” he whispered gently on her cheek as she then turned around to face him. Amon hesitated to let go at first be as he looked down at Skyler he knew there was more to what her fears where. “Don't worry so much about it. This is our little secret.”

“I don't think its little. Amon I'm serious. Its only a matter of time till the Hospes knows what we're doing. It'll send out Fallen Angels to destroy us.” said Skyler pleading more to herself to wish everything was just a dream. Yet she knew the consequences. Fallen Angels, or fallen Warriors where once followers of the previous goddess of earth. These Warriors had fallen to the darkness of the Hospes and fought along side it to eliminate any traitors of the Hospes. Amon was now a traitor and Skyler had always been the target. There could be a chance where they can both be eliminated by the Fallen Angels.

Amon patted the side of Skyler's head and softly push her hair back behind her ear. He gazed into her eyes as she tried hard to pull away from his stare, but like usual it was impossible. He had some sort of passionate hold on her that if she tried anything she could be lost forever in his thoughts. As much as she loved the feeling of his mind entering her's she couldn't let herself fall to far from her reality.

“I'm not here to destroy you, I wouldn't do anything to hurt you, you know that. I want to protect you even if it cost me my life. I'd do anything for you.” Skyler smiled at him where she placed her hand over his that held her cheek and wondered what the whole night would feel like if he stayed with her. “You know as well as I do, that if I stay I won't leave.” Amon smiled widely as Skyler then blushed and looked quickly away from him..

“You seriously have to warn me next time if your going to do that!” she embarrassingly said as he then stepped closer to her and placed his index finger under her chin where he lifted her head toward his and lightly kissed her on the lips. She shivered as she didn't expect his small kiss. She longed for more but all she then felt was another on her head where he said across her mind,

Meet me tomorrow in the back of your school. I have a surprise for you.

Before she could look up at him all she felt was a small gentle warm breeze across her body. She knew he had shifted into a shadow and left her. As much as she wanted to call him back she felt a tight knot behind her throat. The swirl of emotions where still stirring all around her mind and heart. All she hoped for was for her and Amon to be together soon again.

The next morning Skyler walked into her bathroom where she looked deeply into her reflection. Something looked different, her hair seemed lighter, her eyes clearer, her skin smoother and brighter. She was looking more of a goddess by the day, but she couldn't believe that one long night could affected her this much. Or was it even the night? Could it have been the recollections of her memories and the encounter with Amon that gave her such a look? She couldn't explain it, she wonder, but something did tell her that whatever happened it was for the best.

Skyler undressed herself and entered the shower where she began to concentrate her emotions where images of her past began to fill her eyelids. Memories of her father appeared. She felt a knot in her stomach wondering what kind of memory laid beneath the image of her father. She swallowed hard as she looked in deeper into the image.

A bright cloud of white appeared before her and through that bright mist she saw herself walking down a garden path in Spain. She was young about ten. As she walked down the path the sight of her father stood at the end of the path. A rush of joyed filled her heart, her feet began to feel light as air, before she knew it she was running toward him. The image of him began to grow larger as she ran, but for some strange reason he wasn't smiling , he wasn't looking at her, it was as if he had not sensed her presence which made her stomach ache even more. Normally he would be able to feel her from a distance, but as she ran he slowly began to walk away from her. She began to panic, she kicked her feet harder from the ground pushing her arms hard by her side. He seemed to more far way this time and she couldn't keep up. She yelled for him, but as she did he was gone and she stopped running. The garden around her seemed larger than before and as she stood there she looked back at where he father was standing and was shocked of whom she saw their. Vitcus stood there gently smiling at her. Was it an illusion was it Vitcus the whole time and not her father? She then looked all around the garden and realized then that her father had never been there, it was impossible. He had died just the year before. As she looked back to Vitcus he too was gone and her grandmother was slowly walking up to her with a warm smile.

Skyler stepped out of the shower and walked up to the foggy mirror of the bathroom where she placed her hand on it and whipped the fog off. Her eyes seemed darker now, her mind and heart was filled with rage. The more she felt this anger the more she wasn't able to control her power. The air around her became thick, small gust of wind began to blow around her, her wet air was slowly lifting up by the strong wind, small strings of electrical currents began to shape the bathroom with dangerous power that didn't seem so pure anymore. Skyler was a the tip of exploding, her eyes darken and a small current hit the mirror in front of her where it suddenly cracked. Any more and Skyler would destroy the bathroom. Suddenly a large knock on the door surprised her.

“Skyler, are you alright in there? I feel a strange heat coming from here.” the door no began to turn where Skyler relaxed her energy and suddenly became frighten at the sight of the mirror cracked the two images of herself on them. Was this really for the best? Where this memories affecting her emotions that much that she began to doubt Vitcus and Jasmine? Was Amon telling the truth, did he really care? All she knew was that her dark side was beginning to appear. She knew then that she wasn't going to be the same, Hecate was now watching over her.
