Chapter 6
Slowly my eyes fluttered open before quickly shutting closed due to the searing pain coursing through my head. I groaned loudly, slowly sitting up as I clutched my head. Looking next to me I saw that there was a glass of water, along with a small pill and a small note from my mother.
'This will help with the headache. Love mom xoxo.'
I smiled, taking the small pill with the water. Looking around I saw that I was in my new room. I at first couldn't remember how I had gotten here but then remembered seeing my wolf form. I was still in shock, I mean yeah you don't see many white wolves but a white wolf with blue, glowing swirls?
That was unheard of. As I continued to question everything that had just recently happened, I had failed to notice my brothers creeping into my room.
"Hey Sky, how you feeling?" Will asked with concern as he came over to me, sitting next to me on the bed and feeling my head for a fever. Don't know why he did since I wasn't sick but oh well.
"Bit of a headache, but not too bad. How long have I been out?" I questioned, looking up at Will with a small smile, trying not to groan from another wave of pain hitting my head.
"Three days actually. The Ancients...they said that this was normal for someone like you- "
"Wait, what do you mean by that?" I was nervous now. Something was gone and with the looks on their faces I knew they knew but they weren't gonna tell me. Cole wasn't looking me in the eye and
Liam was trying to preoccupy himself with anything else; Will was the only one actually talking to me. They all knew that I was growing nervous now, it was obvious as I could feel my hands start to shake.
"Sky calm down, the Ancients will explain everything but first you really need a shower. You really stink." Will joked, rubbing my back softly to try and calm me down. I appreciated him trying, though it was really difficult without jumping to conclusions in my head about what the Ancients were going to tell me.
"I vote you take two, you smell horrible little sis." Liam teased, finally speaking to me. I rolled my eyes at him, sticking my tongue out at him. I chuckled even though it hurt and watched as they left the room to give me time to get ready. About twenty minutes later I was finally clean. Walking over to my suitcase I saw that it was empty. I walked over to the cupboard and saw that all my clothes were in there. Probably my moms doing. I smiled and quickly pulled out a simple T-shirt, along with a pair of denim jeans. I got dressed quickly, brushed my hair and teeth and then I was finally done. As I was about to open the door, I heard my brother's voices approaching, Will and Liam yelling at each other. When I opened the door, I saw Cole leaning against the wall while Liam was yelling at Will, stating how chocolate was supreme to strawberry. Why did we have to be related to these two idiots? Cole looked over at me, rolling his eyes before shoving them both to walk, that didn't even stop the argument.
As we walked through the castle, or maze as I see it, we finally stood by the big wooden doors once again. I was shaking, that was obvious but I could also feel my heart wanting to beat itself out of my chest with how scared of entering this room I was. Moona tried to console me, telling me that there was nothing wrong with us and that everything would be fine. It helped slightly but I could still feel my hand shaking slightly. I jumped slightly when the doors began to open. Gulping I walked in with my brothers and parents who had just joined us, clutching my mom's hand tightly. Though what I was not expecting when we entered was to see the Ancients stand then bow.
"Our Queen." They spoke with respect. I was so confused before it finally clicked, the Moon Goddess. Oh no, the most powerful being was here. She ruled over all supernatural beings, with her Ancients as her right-hand men and woman, along with smaller rulers of each kind of supernatural beings. I searched around the room, not seeing anyone who could possibly be her. Eventually I gave
up on trying to search for while the Ancients still remained in their position; I asked where she was and what I heard next made me want to faint all over again.
"Skylar Maine, you are the new, soon to be, Moon Goddess. The one to claim victory in the war that is yet come." Are these Ancients on drugs or something?! I was no Moon Goddess! And me being the idiot I was, I said that first thing that came to mind.
"Okay you guys got me; I'm on a hidden camera show, aren't I?" I stated laughing even though there was panic in my voice. I turned to family, waiting for them to say that this was a joke but they merely stood there. I turned back to the Ancients seeing them doing the same.
"This is no joke Skylar. Only the Moon Goddess possesses those blue swirls on her fur coat, proudly stating her incredible powers that courses through her veins." One of the Ancients stated with a proud smile as he gazed down at her. What the hell was going on? This can't be true. He then proceeded to explain a prophecy I was in, along with explaining briefly the powers that I possessed.
So, I did what any normal person would do, I ran. Granted I ran to my room but still, I think they got the point. I was scared! I couldn't be the next Moon Goddess! I didn't even know there could be another one! I wasn't worthy, I didn't even have a mate! Lying there on my bed all I could do was sob. Everything that had happened this week was just too much, I can't handle it all."Sky?" I heard the voice that belonged to Cole but I knew that the other two were also with him.
"Go away!" I whimpered into my pillow, not wanting to see anyone. I felt guilty for my words as my brothers and I were always there for each other, regardless of the situation.
"No, now leave me alone!" I snapped at them, I instantly regretted doing that to them the only time I ever snap at them is when they deserve it but this wasn't one of those times.
"Sky if you don't let us in, we will start singing and we all know that, that would be awful." Will stated from behind Cole, peaking his head over Coles shoulder. I shuddered at the thought of the last time they tried to sing to me to cheer me up, it ended up making me cry even more with how bad it was. I sighed, inviting them in. They stumbled in as Liam had shoved the other two aside before he rushed over to me and hugged me tightly. I whimpered before I began to cry again.
"I'm scared guys." I whispered softly, feeling the bed dip next to me and at the foot of the bed. They continued to console me for a while, telling me how they were gonna be here for me through everything. I believed them. Soon enough we began talking about other stuff and I was thankful that they were getting my mind off all of the drama. Though it had eventually turned serious when they
asked about Kyle once again so I finally explain. Shock soon turned into anger. They eventually started saying how they were gonna drop the title of his Beta's, which I instantly hit them over the heads for.
"Yeah what he did was crap, but you guys have worked to hard for this. You've come to far and you all were made for this position. Don't drop it because of him being a shitty mate to me. Do this for me, please?" They eventually agreed, along with still threatening Kyle when they returned. I smiled at them all and we finally stayed on lighter topics. We were all relaxing before a messenger came in,
stating that the Ancients wanted to see me again if I was up to it. I chewed on my lip, wanting to say but Will encouraged me to do it, saying how they would be there for me like they promised. I agreed and we left my room, heading back to the hall once again. Walking in the Ancients bowed once again, greeting me. I definitely was not use to the whole bowing thing, it felt weird.
"I'm sorry for running away. It was just a lot of information to process." I stated and watched as they merely just shrugged it off. They led me over to a large dining table, placing me at the head of the table. One of the Ancients ushered a servant over who had been carrying large, heavy-looking books.
He placed it down in front of me and my eyes widened.
"Skylar as we stated earlier, you belong to a prophecy, but before we discuss that we need to explain to you how everything will work. We are here to teach you; teach you how to control your powers, teach you combat in both wolf form and human form. We need to prepare you for the war that will come, in this war you will be going up again the Vampire King as he had turned his back on the current Moon Goddess. If he is successful in killing you, he will gain all your powers and become unstoppable. Not even the current Mood Goddess or us will be able to defeat him. This all rests on your shoulders." They explained, serious expressions on their faces.
No pressure there, right?
