(Celeste's pov)
'I will find you and when I do I'll never let anyone harm you again' The large wolf possessively growled. He was huge, his fur completely black except for his paws that look like they where dipped in silver. He radiated power and dominance, I should fear him but instead I was drawn. who was this wolf and why was I so drawn. He aura of power and nobility wrapped around me making me feel so protected and loved, like nothing in the world could ever touch me.
Never in my life have a felt this.... it scared and excited me. I step towards the wolf, "who are you?" I ask in a weak voice. The wolf just looks me in the eye, his eyes they screamed at me as if to tell me. Suddenly the wolf was gone and my eyes fluttered open... a dream. It was all just a dream.
I sit up in the bed where I was sleeping, looking around. 'What happen to us?' I ask Lily trying to remember how we fell asleep again. 'Vivian..... she was here.... she used her magic to heal us a last time.' Lily wine to me as an explanation. 'healed us? what do you mean we where healed? And last time? What is going on?' I rambled to Lily her answer was just confusing me more. Vivian, my mother's best friend and the one who taught me how to use my fairy magic. She would appear as a ghost and would teach me always telling me the time would come to when I would be free and do great things. Lilly let out a whimper, 'your full magic was not yet awoken the abuse from your father had left scars unseen by the eye and weakened my full strength, we can now reach our full potential or full power. We are no longer tied by the scars and chains of your father. It was Vivian's last gift to us.' Lily words did not help clear the confusion last gift what could she mean as I'm about to ask her a hear a sound approaching.... it was all the way from outside the bubble. I could hear that far!? since when??
Raven runs into the room, her face harden with worry and sadness, "quick drink this and stay up her." She handed me a small glass of a blue liquid and runs out of the room and down the stairs. The liquid smells familiar... The noise outside the bubble of Ravens home grows closer taking from my thoughts I quickly drink the liquid. It tasted like dirt and rotten peaches, I can feel a warm burn go down my throat and threw my body. I remember how I know this now, Vivian use to make my mother and I drink it. A special potion that would change our sent to human but not just human a male human. It really can throw anyone off from who and what we really are. I wonder why Raven would give this to us.
I close my eyes and focus... I expanded my hearing it reaches to far outside the bubble but I can hear Raven at the edge of the bubble. I close my eyes tighter focusing on her voice...
"Why are you here, Demetrius?" Raven's voice came out like a sword being drawn full of challenge and protectiveness. A deep thick voice answers her, "I've been sent by the King to inform you, A royal mating ball will be held for the crown prince and princess of Wolfsburg." I hear Raven laugh, sounding like it slipped out. "I have a feeling this is Bella idea? And why must you travel all they way out here just to tell me of a ball for Royals?" Raven asked the owner of the deep voice. I can only assume he is a royal guard for how he speaks of the royal family. "You will address the Princess with her proper title," he growls at her, "Princess Annabelle has asked for the whole kingdom to attend that includes you and," sounds as if he scenting the air, "the male human you have hidden here." His voice sounding like he could be sick at any moment. "WHO I HAVE AT MY HOUSE IS MY BUSINESS NOT YOURS! so why don't you scurry off and return to the kingdom because last I check this is not part of Wolfsburg kingdom," Raven voice came out close to a growl so low and full of angry at this guard. "You will attend the ball, King Jake has ordered for your attendance at the ball. As the Royal witch, you have no choice but to attend. I am just the messenger, if you do not come there will be consequences. see you soon Raven, see you soon." with last words leaving his lips, I hear his body change and smell of wolf tickles my nose. As he races of away from the Cabin and bubble, Raven huffs and starts to walk back to the cabin.
I climb out of bed, standing, I feel stronger then I ever have. I walk down the steps and meet Raven in the kitchen. She's mumbling about the wolf who just stop by....I blush at what she says and cough. Never have I heard such words be used in that way. She jumps at sound of my cough almost as if she didn't hear me come down the stairs. She turns to look at me, "I didn't hear you come down your quite on your feet." I shift my weight side to side still uncomfortable. While she protected me from the guard who showed up, I still didn't know how Raven felt about everything I told her. The promise she had made to me before was broken. My fate and freedom lied in her hands. I meet her eyes, pleading with my own. 'Please please don't send me back!' I keep repeating in my mind hoping she see the plea in my eyes.
Finally she spoke again, "Listen, I know my mother broke the spell earlier but I'd like to make a new promise spell if you don't mind?" her eyes held mix emotions and confused me. Was she not going to send me back or turn me in to the royal family.....wait did she say....."Mother?" my thought verbalized itself without me realizing she just nods and asks again "can we make a new promise spell? I would like to do a new one with you now that I know who you really are and who I am we are connected through fate. So please let me do a new spell?" I can see the importance of the spell in her expression, and knowing she's Vivans daughter I knew I can trust her. I find my voice and answer, "I would like that. Your mother has help me more then I can explain and you have done so much for me already." Raven nod, spins around collecting the herbs and potions she had on the counter. She quickly disappears into another room before returning, a dagger in hand. "Follow me," she says as she walks out the door with everything in her hands. I stand there dazed for a second then quickly walk to ketchup to her by the time I caught up to her she is outside using a large Branch drawing a circle among other images and writing in the center of it all is a bowl with the herbs inside and the potion surrounding it the dagger lays within an arms reach of the bowl I am confused of what it all means. what spell she truly is doing is it a promise spell or is it something completely different? I know I can trust her I feel it, my wolf feels it. I stand quietly and wait for her to finish and give me directions.
once the circle is done Raven turns on her heels and looks at me, "okay it is ready this promise is one that can never be broken the only thing that can break it is death itself so stand here." she points to a spot on the ground just inside the circle, there's a picture of a wolf and a fairy and a moon. she approaches the bowl, once she stands on the other side of the bowl she meets my eyes. Her eyes soften a bit she must see my confusion and starts to explain, "I am what they call a knight witch my ability that I possess is not that of potions or charms but of protection and attack. every night which has one person they can swear themselves to making an ultimate promise that will tie my life with yours so whenever you are in danger or just in need of your knight, I shall appear to protect you. Your life will be connected to mine, shall you die, I shall die, my last breath will be to make sure you are safe, nothing will ever harm you well under my protection." Her face completely serious, not an ounce of humor or fault. I knew without a doubt she meant the word she said so I looked her in the eyes squared my shoulders and said "let's begin."
She nodded and crouch down mixing the potions with the herbs... like earlier smoke appears from the bowl and surrounds the circle thick and dark yet it holds a comfort like nothing will ever come through. Raven looks at me, 'it is time to begin," she grabs the dagger, one hand holding the hilt, the other grips the blade tightly. I can smell the blood break free, I cringe a bit not liking the smell of blood and not liking that Raven has cut herself but I do not move. I just wait, I stand and I wait as Raven looks to the sky above. A powerful light comes down upon us, when she looks at me her eyes they're almost hunting, for they are just White, almost like she's in a trance and not herself. Then she begins to speak, "I, Raven descendant of Maze the first witch, swear to the internal king and the goddess of the moon to lay my life for Celeste, the princess of the Moon and the fairies and the wolves. I give my knightly vow that no harm will come to her while under my protection and that my life will forever be tied with hers. With my blood I give this vow never to break, never to harm. I live to serve the true princess Celeste." as soon as she says my name the one last time the light goes warm and comforting. Then I see it it looks like a thin thread but it's coming from my chest, from my heart. I look down and I follow the thread and I see it it twists and turns and ends up surrounding Raven and entingling every bit of her almost like it's knotting her in it's twisty web. I feel our Powers become one. I feel stronger, I feel protected. I can see Raven, a soft silver glow surrounds her, as she's entangled in this thread. Then smoke descends upon us. I cannot see, all there is a smoke around us. Next a strong gust of wind picks up and the smoke is gone. Standing before me is Raven, the threat and the lights are gone. Her eyes remain, but a voice comes from her a voice. It is not of her own, it is deep, it is dark, it is him, the Eternal King, "For this promise has been made in my name and in my name I accept shall you always be protected princess, for now you have your Royal and loyal knight."
