Calm Me Down (girlxgirl)

twenty two: lost her

"The prophecy was not created for nothing. As much as the goddess of the moon is good, she is fair. Although you have are the chosen one" She trails off which only made me more frustrated. I stumbled back and slipped but thankfully she managed to grab hold of my arm and gently set me down on the ground.

"What?" I breathed out and I could feel sweat drip down the sides of my head, "I don't understand"

"You are not just anyone, Lamia. You need to protect us, you are the strongest out of all creatures. You can live almost a thousands lives. the power within you will be awaken and become stronger that you can imagine"

I stared at her almost emotionless, "Ju-Just tell me" I stuttered looking down with widened eyes,

"If you fail to fullfill your fate, your mate must watch you die if you cannot awaken your true nature" She reveals and I cover my mouth with my hand as tears were threatening to fall down my cheeks.

"In the war, this winter war, you are fated to die" I shake my head and ignore her words but they continue, "Theia will be there and she will not be able to do anything but watch. No matter how hard you'll try, you are fated to die, being killed, a sudden sickness, an accident fall, and all other possibilities. It will happen on the same day of the attack" She was being so cruel with her words but I knew that they were true, I hated that they were and there was nothing I could do.

"She will have no one, she will blame herself and she will be alone once again" I tell her but she only looked away and I gasp as tears formed around my eyes until they became waterfall, I groaned and released gut wrenching cries that I have bottled up. I clutched my heart as tears felll down on my cheeks, tasting the saltiness from it. Selene was kind enough to hold me in her arms as I broked down, I held onto her arms and buried my head onto her chest. She held as I cried feeling the burden that I have created for others and myself, remembering Theia and how broken she could be if she watched helplessly and how she would once again be cruel. It was no wonder that she would once again become heartless.

After awhile, I have calmed down yet managed little sobs from here and there, Selene and I were looking out as the sun slowly goes down.

After a few minutes of silence and taking in the view, Selene spoke once again "Do you want to know why it's called The Orbit?" She asked feeling my nod, she continued "Because there is The North Werewolves, The East Fairies, The West Witches, The South Vampires that The Center of Hybrids which used to be ours. We owned the waters from The North,the food, silk and many more by the West and our people amd joy came from The South and The Center. The goddesses have decided to call us the Orbit becuase together, all the kingdoms form a circle, and we orbit them" She slightly chukled as she saw my eyes interested in her words.

"Why does the heavens and the goddess care so much about our existence?" I questioned almost, I was more confused than angry at this point, "Becuase like I said earlier, the heavens made us themselves, The Tribrids were their most precious kinds. While Vampires, Fairies, Witches and Werewolves only came from our evolution of reproduction. Some only managed to gain pure blood of one kind and created others like them. But for us, we were the first ones per say"

I stayed quiet, "I'm sorry for how we have burdened you but we could not deny the heavens prophecy" I nodded understandignly and slowly got up on my feet.

"I want to come home" I told Selene who looked hesitant, "Please!" I begged and pleaded with my eyes.

"I"ll have to come with you, now that you have known everything. I have to ensure that you are at safe-" I stopped her with a wave of my hand, "I will be safe in the protection of the Queen back home she-"

I remembered the prophecy once again and the consequences of failure to do so, "I don't know what to do Selene" I admitted and we both sighed this time.
