(Celeste POV)
"Celeste it's been a long time..."
"I... I know you... but how?" I couldn't find my worse or explain how I can feel the excitement from lily. she started to do circles in my mind yipping like a puppy. This woman was familiar to us, she was safe. She approach me slowly, my eye never left hers she placed two fingers on my forehead and mumbled something under her breath. My eyes grew heavy and I fell into darkness.
(Raven pov)
I watched as Celeste's eyes closed and she drifted off to sleep. My eyes turned to the witch standing next to her, "why are you here, Vivian?" I asked her wasn't like her to just appear. Honestly I have not seen her in over 18 years!
A soft chuckle came from her, "is that anyway to speak to your mother, Raven?" She turns to look at me. she really called her self my mother after all this time all these years! she just left me on a door step never returning until now. "your not my mother, you abandoned me," I sneered at her. her eyes filled with sadness, her voice broke as she spoke " I had no choice... what I did I did to protect you to keep you on your path..."
I looked at her confused, " what in the world are you talking about?" how could leaving me keep me on the right path and from Celeste's story sounds like she replaced me with her. I roll my eyes, "why are you here?" I asked again. She turns to look at Celeste once again, "sleep well my princess you are safe" she said so softly and low I barley could hear her. she turns and walks past me not saying a word. I roll my eyes, she knew I would follow her, she foresaw it.
My mother is what people like to call a fate witch, her speciality is to see peoples future their "fate" so to speak and see the connections to people have together. She is the witch wolves look for to sever their mate bond or make a new one. She only witch with the ability. Every witch has a specialty or a gifted ability. Many witch's are potion witches or charm witches. as for me I am what they call a knight witch. My protection spells and attack spells are stronger than most witches. My mother is one of the few witches that can break my protection spells or barriers.
I follow her into my kitchen, she's sitting at my table eyes rolled in her head. She's getting a vision of someone's life. I sit down and wait for her to come back to earth. I must have zoned out because next thing I knew she was grabbing my hand, I look at her and she looks to my soul, "Raven you are Celeste's chosen and you must protect her tell your last breath." She said it with such power almost as if it wasn't her saying it. wait did she say chosen what does that mean? I just met this girl why is she so important to me? Ever since I found her lying in forest naked I felt a pull to help her I didn't understand my self, maybe my mother knew, "what are you talking about Vivian? I just met her why would I give her my vow of protection? plus I've already swore an oath to the royal wolf family and am the families personal witch."
"YOU WHAT!?!?" My mother voice roared and a storm started outside...she was beyond mad if a storm started. She closed her eyes and her hands began to dance. She was looking at the strings, the invisible strings that connects everyone. she lets out a breath, "my child you are already connected to the princess, I know you felt the pull." My eyes grew at the words my mother said, "But how a witch can only be connected threw blood or vow? and we are not related to her are we?"
My mother shakes her head, "my dear since the day you where born you been connected to her, your date is to be by the princesses side and protect her as she follows her path." my mother pats my hand, I was so confused. "How? none of this makes since I've never meet her tell today," I wanted real answers not more riddles from my mother, "I don't want riddles mother tell me what is going on, I know you hold all the answers." She looks down and sighs, when she finally looks at me and nods, "I suppose it's time you know who are family is and why we hold so much power and why you must protect the princess." I just look at her to continue and saying a word
She stood up and looked me in the eyes as she started to explain, "I do not have much time left so I will explain quickly, many moons ago when the goddesses and the eternal king walked the earth, they were to be united together. but the goddesses heart belonged to another... a wolf. as you know they had pups know as goddesses wolf's their fur was whiter then the moon with a silver moon on their forehead much like the crown the goddess wears. They power was wanted by all and they started to be hunted. The goddess feared for her children's life so she went to the eternal king and begged him to help. He made a deal with the goddess he would help her pups but they both must leave the earth never to step foot on the earth again. the goddess worried for her pups agreed. so the eternal king called upon his strongest witch who was always at his side, Maze, our ancestor. kneeling before the king he bestowed a gift to her, 'Maze, my most loyal child, I grant you a direct line to my power. You will be the strongest witch of them all and have eternal life as long as the the goddesses wolves are alive. You will protect them with your life and soul. If wolf's are to die then you will die as well. your family will always protect these wolves. do not fail!' Maze power was unmatched by anyone's and the wolves where protected. Our family has spent many generations looking after the goddesses wolves. We are born with ties to these wolf so we know to always protect them. I was Celestine's guard and I failed my task...she was killed before I had the chance to save her, I was able to buy myself more time by tying my self to her daughter and protecting her until you found her. Now you have found her it is your fate to stand next to the princess and protect her as she takes her place as queen and full fills her destiny. If you refuse you will loose all power and darkness will fall upon the world. Do not fail my daughter... her life is in your hands. protect her...." with a light breeze my mother turn to dust and blew away... gone forever.
