Lia's POV
*******
Sitting staring at the flames jump from the other side of the glass in the wood stove, cuddled up with a blanket, holding a pillow that smells like Red, I am lost in my thoughts. Chief asleep on the floor next to the wood stove. I was worried but not so much in knowing that Lada said Red had protection matching mine down in the town.
I took a whiff of the pillow covered in his scent. I felt at ease a moment. Shortly after that the thought of using my tarot cards popped in my head. Like there was a message waiting for me. Always following my gut, I get up and find my cards in the little trunk painted with fairy tales all over it. Sitting back down on the couch and using Red's pillow as my table. I shuffle the cards, repeating my question "What do I need to know?" I never ask more then they are willing to give. I do however ask for clarifiers for certain cards that pop up so I know which path it may take. I shuffled a fee times until I felt the instinct to switch to moving the cards over themself. Instantly, a couple cards popped out. There after three more cards leaped out of the deck and onto this floor this time.
"Ooh what do they say?" I heard Tala ask in my head.
"Let me see them first," I hushed her. I needed to focus on what the message be.
I flipped the upright, and steady each one quietly. Then asked for a clairifier for a couple cards. Once satisfied with the information in front of me. I closed my eyes, there I was slammed by pictures. One coming right after another, it knocked me hard. I seen flashes of Red, a white wolf and me. I seen danger around us, but I also seen a blue light hugging us close. Much like a safety net. There was three other blue orbs in the distance, all three steadily coming closer but just out of reach. A face appeared shining red eyes whispering "I will have your bloodline." It chanted over and over. I was trying to shake free of it. It was getting closer.with each chant. That is when I felt another next to me in physical form. Licking my face, putting pressure on my legs. I was trying to disconnect but, couldn't and the face coming closer still. That is when I seen it, the image of a woman similar to me in looks but grey hair wildly flying about. A blue light leaving her hand to slam into the evil face. The face stopped advancing and starts backing up as the older woman gets closer. Standing between me and it she continues her attack with a blue light. "You shall not have this one or any of my pack." You can hear an unearthly growl eminating from her small form. As she says this a green tree branch followed by the another and another slowly grab the evil face pulling it back into nothingness. The woman turns, to show me aged grey eyes, "You have great power child, you must keep out of this realm a while. Learn your power and then try again." She smiled, there I seen a hint of fangs, she slowly dissipated. leaving only smoke.
Waking as if I had been asleep, I seen Chief frantically licking my face. "Wake up!" I heard him repeat worriedly.
"I am here," I put my hands on him to cuddle reassuring him all was well.
"What happened?" He asked, still face to face with me.
"I believe, I just seen a demon. Though am I am not sure who the ancestor was that stopped it." I was curious. She looked familiar.
"That was the One who Remembers," Tala said with pride. "She is family to you."
"Lada, mentioned she made this Talisman." Holding the dire wolf fang up, showing no one. I chuckled looking back at the cards it said that I would have more visitors. I needed to be ready. A trip to the supply shed sounded like a good idea.
