ZELFELIA

"So you're telling me I almost fell down the stairs, because one of you dropped the cabinet? " I snapped at Jerome and Isis. "I have no time for your inkling stupidity , we need to go "

Without a second thought, I opened a portal that took us directly to the moonlight crystal caves, and it was as beautiful as I remembered as a child, the side of the cave had enough space for us to stand, I was guessing the water levels had dropped.

I felt a sudden jolt of energy,it was something I had never felt, not in a long while, and before I knew it I was getting a little light headed and dizzy.

"Lia! " I heard writing before I felt Jerome's arms wrap around me preventing me from falling back into the water.

"The moon light crystals they are affecting her, her body isn't strong enough to take it all in ,she can't control it yet " I heard Isis say ,her voice sounded barely above a whisper to me. I opened my eyes slightly that was when I noticed it, my pendent the exact same one I gave my mother before she left my heart sank a little bit , it was hanging from one of the moonlight crystal on the cave, I got myself up and walked where it was and took it.

And in that moment my head started to hurt as a load of flashing images flashed through my head, images of Reece and Magnus, they where talking about there next location. They talked about a house in the soler half of the planet ,then they stopped, I dropped the pendant .and that's when it all went black.

JEROME

Lia feel to the ground and in that moment my mind went blank, I picked her up in my arms and looked at Isis, I was clueless on what the next step would be, Lia was the one that brought us here.

"Do something, don't you have some type of powers" I said looking at Isis.

"I'm not a witch, I'm an earth priestess I was given give a few gifts by the moon godess ,I can't do most of the things she can" she said in panic.

"I can get myself out of this cave but not with her in my arms, she could drown "I told her.

"I can get her out "She said with a sudden look of fear in her eyes .

"What's wrong, you're looking a little peal there ?" that's when it happened, her screams echoed through the cave, the bounce back of the sound rung through my ears. The next sound of bones breaking then the flesh of her back tore to review large Wings ,then in a bright flash everything about her changed, she looked like she had just dropped out of a fantasy comic.

"This shit gets weirder each day " I mumbled

"This shit gets weirder each day " I mumbled.

"I hate this "he said with tears falling down her face.

"You have wings"

"It's the most painful thing I've physically felt, the first time I did this I passed out from the pain " she explained "Give her to me, I'm sure you can swim " she said taking zelfelia from my arms, she took off living a wave of air, it was one of the most beautiful things I had seen in a while.

I jumped into the water and pushed myself through as fast as I could, my fast reflexes made it easier for me to move, I got out of the cave and saw Isis's wings retract as she lay Lia on the ground, I swam till I got to dry land, I quickly walked to where they where. Lia had opened her eyes and was looking directly at us. I run my hand through her hair, picking her up from the ground.

"You don't have to lift me "She mumbled slightly above a whisper.

"Or you could say, thanks and poof us home " I smirked. She wave her hand and another portal opened and we where in her room. I set her on the bed and left the pendant on the side of her bed before leaving Isis and her alone in her room.

I walked back to my room and sat on my bed.

Flashback

" Jeremy! " she shouted as she run for me jumping on me before we both feel to the ground ,laughter bounced of the walls of our small house.

Heketi or as he liked to be called 'Harriet'. We knew what we both where, she was a witch and me the monster I still was till this day.
..................

I heard a knock at the door that got me out of my thoughts, Lia walked in to my room and sat beside me, she might look different but I knew, it was her from the first day I saw her I knew it was her. My Heketi.
