Chapter Fifty-Three - Mother

KARA

Entering the building, the smell of medicine entered my nose. I followed the medics as they got Connor and Edward into the ER. I wanted to go in but they requested that I waited outside.

I stood by the door when a medic came, "Alpha, let's get you checked."

I reluctantly agreed and followed the doctor.

On the hospital bed, he put a mask over my face and soon I was knocked out.

Why is it so dark?

I walked around the void of darkness, completely clueless. Until a shot of light appeared in front of me. It was there for a split second but it's gone now. Another came from my left and I rushed to it, but it disappeared when I was an arm's reach from it.

"Kara..."

The voice came from behind and I turned around.

"Who's there?"

"Over here, my dear."

I turned to my right and there it was. A woman in a white gown with flowy sleeves. Chestnut brown hair with a pair of warm motherly brown eyes. The structural features on her face similar to mine, and then it hit me. I've never seen her before, not even in pictures, but I knew on instinct who that woman is.

"Mother?"

"My child."

She opened her arms and I ran into her warm embrace. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks. She stroked my blonde, bloodied hair while whispering soothing words in her angelic voice. I soon pulled away but still held had my hands on her forearms. Her gown contrasted the dark surroundings and my black clothing. Her face had wrinkles like she had aged.

I looked at her in disbelief, "How are you here?"

"Kara, I've been watching you from above ever since I passed," she said while gingerly running her thumb across my cheek to wipe the stray tear. She was slightly shorter than me so I had to look down.

"Mother, where are we?"

"We're in your subconscious, my dear. You were given anesthetics to fall asleep so I took the chance to see you in person."

She moved back slightly to take a full look, "My, you've grown."

I smiled tightly, "Well, the last time you saw me was when I was a baby."

She shook her head sadly, "I'm sorry, my child. I left you alone for eighteen years."

"It's alright, I grew up fine. Look, I'm an Alpha like father, and a Luna, like you."

The thought of the truth of my father still disgusts me, but I won't let him define what kind of leader I would be. Mother placed her hands on my cheek, "You did, and you grew up to be a great woman. Soon, you'll take my job."

I raised an eyebrow, "Mother, what're you talking about?"

"You weren't supposed to be born. No daughters came from an Alpha bloodline, until you. A female Alpha has to have a connection with the Moon Goddess."

"What kind of connection?"

"All sorts. But in your situation, your connection is straight forward."

I was confused a little until it hit me like a train.

"You are the Moon Goddess," she gave me a warm smile. She then dusted imaginary dust off my shoulder, "And soon, you'll be one too."

My face fell, "Soon?"

"As in a century," she chuckled and I let out a breath. Her smile soon turn into a frown and I cupped her face, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"I don't know when is the next time I'll see you again, so I'll tell you what you need to know now."

I nodded and she took a deep breath, "Every Moon Goddess, when they're still living has a special power. You're different because you're the direct descendant of a goddess. You have three, elemental control, energy manipulation, and astral projection."

My mouth was wide open. I spent eighteen years, oblivious to this? I was already guilty with the Alpha voice, and now, powers? I asked, "How strong would I be?"

"When you master it well, you'll be really strong. But, it would be difficult to defeat an experienced wizard as they have all magic at their fingers."

I nodded and questioned, "Why didn't Daniel...you know."

She chuckled again, "Your brother wasn't fit. Yes, he could lead as an Alpha, but he doesn't have the control to not use this for his own benefits. That's why he was born a boy, and you, a girl."

I had a tight smile, "A little sexist, don't you think?"

She laughed, "A little, but it is what it is. Another thing, you'll have to face drama, stress, and tragedy when you wake up, but just remember to stay strong as it'll all be worth it."

I nodded and she sighed, "My time is up, Kara. It's time for me to go and for you to wake up."

I held her, "No, mother, I just got you back. Don't leave, please."

She pulled me into her motherly embrace, "I'll always be in your heart and watch you from above."

I smiled against her shoulder, "Thank you, mom."

"I love you, my daughter Kara."

"I love you too."

When we pulled away, she gave me a warm smile before disintegrating into white butterflies, flying away freely. I stared at them for a bit until light shone from behind me. I turned to face it and rushed to the light.

I hesitated a little, my hand through the white portal. I let out a breath, "I'll miss you, mother."

And I walked through, letting the light consume me.

Did you expect that? Hehe..
