The night was terrible, I kept having nightmare after nightmare, hearing weird voices in my head, seeing faces I've never seen before.
It was a man and a woman they had a baby with them, they seemed to be running from something but they were trapped and helpless, the man looked scared and tired, like he had been fighting for a very long time, and the woman just held on tightly to the infant in her arms trying t coo its cries, while also repeatedly crying "moon goddess save my baby"
A dark shadow loomed over them, rays of red reflecting from it. Panic reflected on their faces, the man readied himself to put up another fight, it was clear how exhausted he was and it was also very clear how much he wanted to protect his family, out of nowhere the baby did something, leaving everyone in awe. The man and woman could not comprehend what just happened, they understood what it meant but they couldn't believe it, looking at their baby, it just kept giggling peacefully, almost as if it was laughing at the parents' reaction. The whole place was filled with a bright bubbly light in the form of a dome, shielding the man and the woman from the dark looming shadow for a moment then it went dark again It was like there had been a nuclear explosion, except this was the good kind of explosion, the shadow completely disappeared and the night was normal again.
"She is the one John, She is the one" the lady said.
"Which means she??"
" It can't be, she is my only baby"
"Calm down my love, things are happening as the moon goddess wishes, we are but mere servants."
" But this means that we are going to have to give them to her."
"Don't worry my love she is strong enough, you just saw her she will be okay, we shall give them to her she will take over when the time is right, Now we need to get her out of this world" the man said and everything started to become a blurr, and that voice I heard earlier started whispering inside my head once again replaying all the things she said.
I woke up gasping loudly, my face wet with perspiration, I looked at the time and it was two AM, I drank a glass of water to calm myself while also trying to even my breathing, everything felt so confusing, at this point my life felt like one of those complicated dreams where you just don't get what's going on except, this dream felt so real, it felt like I was a part of it, like I was there when everything happened and this voice in my head was beginning to sound creepy.
Was I losing my mind? is this the part where I discover that I have multiple personalities and now I'm hearing voices??
" fuck this" I said putting on my black hoodie, grey sweatpants and my crocs, I grabbed my jacket, walked out of the apartment and disappeared into the dark.
I walked a few blocks till I got to my destination, it was a weird isolated house which looked almost run down. The red lights were still on so I knew the owner was up. I did not believe in this kind of ish, never had I imagined myself taking this route, let alone at this time but I needed answers and it was the only option I had.
I looked at the gate taking in a deep breath of the cold air, written in bold there it was
GYPSY
"Okay!! let's do this shit," I whispered to myself before I went through the gate over to the door. I raised my hand to knock, but the door was immediately opened for me.
"Ahhh what took you so long." The old lady spoke softly. "Come in Scarlett, don't just stand there."
"How'd...."
"I know everybody dear, now what is the problem, come sit beautiful Scarlett," she invited me into a weird looking room full of weird looking accessories, creepy voodoo dolls, bottles containing different colored powders which were probably potions, some books. the only thing I was expecting to see was not there, she didn't have those glass balls they look into.
I sat down opposite to the lady and started narrating everything, from the creature to the attack, the voice in my head and the weird dreams.
"Ahh, so its time my dear"
"What time?" time for what? I asked confused.
" Well I think you have realized my dear that you are not quite like other people yeah?"
"Erm...."
"Brave, Bold, Fearless, Daring"
"But what does my character have to do with me having weird dreams about babies and domes?"
"You are not the person you think you are, in fact you are not a person" My eyes bulged out of their sockets, but before I could say anything Gypsy went on.
"You my dear are a werewolf, that voice you head is the animal that lives in side of you, your wolf, like she explained, sometimes she can speak to you because she is a part of you she is you. And that creature out there, is not just any creature, its your Mate, he's probably someone closer to you that you think." She finished off like she had just said the most sensible, most believable thing n the universe.
"How?? What?? A mate? What the fuck is that? I'm sorry you are not making any sense, or maybe I'm losing my mind, wait?? am I still dreaming?? "
"Excuse your language child, this is no dream, it is your reality and it's very real. Look it's okay not to understand, but that's all the truth, A mate is something like a soulmate, when warewolfs meet their mates, they instantly fall in love and both parties receive the feeling, which is why your wolf was able to recognize the creature, (as you refer to it) as your mate."
"Okay wait, so you are actually telling me that the animal I've been walking around with every night for the past three months is actually a guy who likes me and is supposedly my soulmate??"
"Your Mate, That is Correct."
"Then how come I didn't feel shit??" (She coughed at my use of language)
"You did not feel a thing because you did not know a thing, you are a late bloomer, you are an emotionally distant person, and you had absolutely no one to raise you into knowing what you actually are."
"Then why didn't you tell me, try me, guide me? Whatever the hell was supposed to happen."
"I only give out information when asked to. You were probably not ready, this is a huge responsibility."
"And the dreams."
"Those people are your parents Child, and the baby is you."
"What did they mean I was the one? What did they give me?"
Mmm,,, the Gypsy hummed, turning her head, moving it from side to side.
"Your left hand, let me see that." I opened up my hand and showed it to her.
"That Mark, when did you get it?" She asked pointing to the dark scar that was in my hand.
"A while back, I fell on some broken glass when I was young and got this scar as a result."
"How old were you when you got it?"
"12, why? what's the big deal?"
"Hmmm right, that is no scar that is your heart. Your heart given to you by both your mother and your Father"
"WHAT"
"Mmmmm, a heart of strength, a heart of courage, a heart of kindness, a heart of love. Hhh! She gasped, Not Just any werewolf, you are a protector.
" a what? Wait. If you say this scar is a heart, and I got it at the age of 12, does this mean that my parents have been alive all that while? "
"I am not at liberty to answer that dear."
"But..."
"Uh uh! Won't you look at the time, you should go before people say they saw you come out of a witch's hut."
"BBB...but"
"Oh no, come now Child." She said pushing me out in the cold.
With a lot of unanswered questions and more confusion, protector, hearts, Wolfs, mates. This was all too much.
I didn't even ask what a Luna was or why on earth that voice my apparent wolf called me Luna.
