DAVIEN
~<>~
Hearing my mate’s low whimpers as she turned and tossed in my arms kept me awake all night. I knew she was having the same dream, and I immediately did everything I could to calm her, but surprisingly, nothing was working.
A few hours before daybreak, Katie’s low murmurs turned into a loud cry for help.
“Wake up, Katie!” I shook her trembling body.
But even that didn’t seem to cut her off from the dream she was having. While I was still trying to wake her, Luna Aurelia and Auntie Susanna barged into our room, ready to help Katie. If I thought ending Jarrett’s life would mark the beginning of our peaceful life, I had thought wrong.
“We don’t have a purifying lake around here,” Queen Aurelia muttered anxiously after she touched Katie.
Auntie Susanna gave her a weird look before she said, “You can always make an alternative, Relia. Just use your blood and say the magic words.”
Despite the worry etched in her eyes, Queen Aurelia rolled her eyes and chimed, “Even if I can, it’s not safe to move her around in this condition. I also don’t want Elora to see her like this. Raiden can’t keep that girl in her room for long, you know that.”
“What exactly is happening to her? She has been having this same dream for the past few weeks. But she has never been like this,” I blurted, looking at Katie as her body continued to shake violently.
“You don’t have to worry,” Queen Aurelia said to me with a small smile. “She is my daughter, which means she gets to be a Seer like me, and as a new Seer who can’t control her ability, Katie is bound to experience an overflow of energy like this, but with time she will get better at controlling—”
“He gets it, Relia. We have to focus on Katie right now,” Auntie Susanna cut Queen Aurelia off. Although I had questions, I couldn’t counter her, not even when she said, “How about we turn the tub in their bathroom into a purifying lake? We just need to fill it up with water.”
Luna Queen Aurelia looked like she wasn’t sure, but after taking another look at her daughter, she said, “It’s worth a try.”
“The future wasn’t unknown; it was simply unknown to you,” Auntie Susanna gasped with realization.
Simultaneously, Katie gasped, tensing up against me for a minute. I didn’t have to see her face to know that she had opened her eyes. I could tell from the way her aura changed. Before I could position myself to look at her face, Katie began to whimper.
“Mom,” my mate cried. “Auntie Susanna. This is bad, isn’t it?”
Quickly, Auntie Susanna chimed, “You have to relax, Katie. We don’t know for sure until you tell us all you saw and we tell Mia Lu about it.”
“Yes, baby. We can only see a glimpse of your vision. You have to tell us for us to make sense of all you saw.” Queen Aurelia nodded as she caressed Katie’s face.
My mate inhaled deeply before she began to tell us about her dream, or more accurately, her vision. When she got into the details, I finally understood why she was crying for help a few minutes ago.
