Revelations #6
I snorted, “Yes, well now I know they are sensitive. I didn’t tell him about my eye doctor appointment though.
It’s so not normal what I keep seeing. I’m not normal enough of the time so I didn’t want to mention this.
” Caspian encouraged me, “You can always share things with your song boy.” We said goodbye then hung up.
Keaton rushed asking, “What happened?” I sighed, “Umm I must have fallen asleep in Oscar, I mean Dr. Umphries, office. I should pay for the cab or however they got me back here.” Keaton snorted, “It’s more than taken care of, don’t worry about it.”
An eye doctor/cab driver. The man did say he didn’t like to be bored. Keaton asked, “Why did you get your eyes checked out?” I shrugged, “I keep seeing people’s eyes flicker black. That’s not possible though, but Oscar said my eyes are fine. Maybe I should get a cat scan of my brain.”
Keaton flinched, “There’s nothing wrong with you.
” I snorted, “My brother said my eyes are sensitive.” Keaton asked, “Did your mob boss brother have any other helpful tidbits?” I snorted, “I have a last name, I guess. It’s their last name, but I don’t want to talk about it.
There’s too much light in here and it hurts. ”
Sassy sadly hummed her song as if she was in pain too. Keaton pulled all the blinds. He pinned bobby pins on the cracks in the curtains to make sure no light came through then pulled me into his chest and put a blanket over my head.
Keaton kissed my forehead, “You just sleep.” I snorted, “It’s like having a hangover for getting my eyes checked out. I feel like that is something only I could do.” Keaton assured me, “I’ll take care of you in either situation.”
I asked, “What do you want to do tomorrow?” Keaton laughed, “It’s your birthday. So, we should do whatever you want.” I hit his chest teasing, “I knew you guys all knew.” Keaton nuzzled my neck, “I should know your birthday since you’re mine. Thankfully, Immy told me.”
I sighed, “We don’t need to do anything.
” Keaton disagreed, “Your birthday is definitely something I want to celebrate.” I asked, “So what are we doing?” Keaton told me, “It’s a surprise.
” I sighed, “Hopefully my eyes are better.” Keaton kissed me, “I’m sure they’ll be fine. ” Though he sounded a little worried.
I fell asleep and woke up in the water, but this time it wasn’t the ocean.
It was like some wading pool. I heard Sassy’s song and whirled around.
I found I was staring at myself, but somehow slightly different.
That me had long blonde hair past her butt with a seashell bra on complete with a pink tail flapping around.
I gasped, “A Mermaid!” Other me hissed. I frowned, “Sorry, but you look like a Mermaid.” She hissed again. I sighed, “Ok, what are you then?” She hummed Sassy’s song as she sat on a random grass area. She put her hand out and beckoned to me.
Ok then. My mind had manifested Sassy, I guess. My Sassy song was still very testy about being called a Mermaid. She sure looked like one though. I swam over to Sassy who touched my face and smiled.
I started to glow. Damn. This was a weird dream. Sassy smiled and a green seashell crown appeared in her hands. She placed it on my head then kissed it. I was thrown back into the water and started falling backwards.
I screamed as I began to fall through what I could only describe as dimensions. I landed on a bed and looked around. I demanded to know, “What the hell?” I stood up and rubbed my face. I knew I’d never been here before.
I grabbed a picture on the nightstand and gasped. This was Keaton’s family. He was younger in this picture, but it was still him. I walked downstairs and saw his mom. I stammered, “Umm I didn’t mean to…” I stopped explaining my presence when she walked right through me.
What? I followed Keaton’s mom who found Chase.
Keaton’s mom kissed Chase then started to cry.
Chase whispered, “Sweetheart, it will be alright.” She whispered, “Something is wrong with him, Chase. Ever since he went to that thank you for saving me lunch, he’s been off.
Keaton’s never liked Lisa before, but now he’s always around her. ”
Chase sighed, “He’s fourteen and I seriously doubt that girl is Keaton’s mate.
” Well, that’s because Key called me his mate.
When was pretending to be Australian anyway.
I was counting that. Keaton’s mom snorted, “She better not be. Lisa has been a problem since she arrived. I told you she was trying to get her hooks into Keaton. Now, she has.”
Chase assured her, “He’ll see her for who she is.” Keaton’s mom cried, “He’s changing, Chase. She’s crushing his confidence.” Chase frowned, “You don’t know that.” She sobbed, “I do. Noah did it to me, and I’m watching her starting to do it to him.” Well, Lisa was a bitch.
Keaton’s mom cried harder, “He’s pulling away from us, and I don’t know what to do.
I clung to Noah harder when people tried to get me away from him.
I don’t know how to help Keaton. I’m helplessly watching history repeat itself.
I’m his mother, I’m supposed to protect him. ” She broke down completely.
The scene changed and I was standing next to Lisa. UGH! She was also younger. My boyfriend’s ex pulled out some rock and dropped it. I rolled my eyes, “You would have a collection of rocks.” Lisa hit several spots on her vanity and a box popped open at the bottom.
Lisa pulled out an old school flip phone and made a call. “Everything’s on track now. I had to slip not only my tears, but my blood into his food. I even used our great grandma’s. I just don’t have enough Harpy blood for an Alpha.”
“Even a young one. I’ll need a supply from our nest to keep dosing him. Keaton’s under my lure for now. At least he’s cute. Tell my adopted older sister, her rogue attack plan worked perfectly. She’ll have to keep them on tap if things spiral.”
“I’ll have to keep reminding Keaton of my trauma. His Alpha blood will demand he comfort me. Our spells and blood will ensure that I keep him. Soon the Harpy’s will rule an allied pack of the Conners. On the inside, I’ll dismantle them.”
What? This was about the Conners? Melanie’s Xander? Those Conners? I flinched because her Xander was someone else’s now. Melanie was going to be crushed. Lisa snorted, “I’ll take that Princess bitch down myself.” I scoffed knowing Lisa couldn’t take down anyone, let alone a Princess.
Lisa gleefully explained, “I can’t wait to see the look on King Aiden and Alpha Eric’s face when I take light itself from this world. They won’t even see me coming. Alpha Eric and King Aiden will pay for the slaughtering of our people.” Everyone was officially in the mob.
Lisa paused, “Yes, I know it’s planned because there’s a grudge against Cassandra Conners from her time as a Luna.
I’m just saying that your first plan where you tried for the Princess didn’t work.
You put her in a coma, but her brother saved her.
Have you ever gotten the prisoner from Yellow Hills pack to talk yet? ”
Kings? Princesses? Prisoners?! This woman was more delusional than I was. There were no Kings in the United States nor were there Princesses. Was she saying King instead of Don? The women of the ruling Don were called Princesses.
I rolled my eyes, “Who refers to strong males as Alpha’s? Well, I guess a lot of people say Alpha male. I’ll give Lisa that one, but someone has GOT to help this girl with her delusions.” My boyfriend’s ex laughed, “So, no. You’ve had that prisoner since well before I was born.” What?
Lisa sneered, “Alpha Chase had just taken over his pack when you faked that Warrior’s death, yet he’s given you nothing all this time.
Now, I have one in my lure. I’m the one taking the plan to fruition.
You’ve always looked down on me for my blood, but I’m going to give our people the glory.
Not you, me. I’m only fourteen years old, and I’ve made more progress here than you EVER have. ”
Lisa paused, “Oh, please. If his mate shows up, I’ll already be Keaton’s chosen. I’ll already be Luna. My first act as Luna will be to plan accidents for Keith Daniels and Alexandria Daniels. I hate them so much.”
My jaw dropped, “Naturally. I so called that. You’re a delusional wannabe murderer. That’s good.” Lisa snorted, “I know I can’t kill them myself, but you could. I could easily lead them to you, that way you’re involved in the plans and you kill them. They need to be out of my way.”
Lisa added, “The death of his twin would spiral Keaton into a depression so bad that I’d never lose him after that. God, do I have to explain everything to you? Do you even know how hard it is to tank the confidence of an Alpha?” Bitch!
Lisa confidently added, “Or to earn his ear? I’m doing all the hard work, and I’m asking very little of you. We’ll have to wait until Keaton marks me, then we will enact the plans for the accidents of the Daniels family.”
Fury radiated through me. I went to wrap my arms around Lisa’s throat but was transported to a different scene.
I saw the red haired woman from my dreams in a bed.
There was a man next to her. He cried, “Angel, please come back to me. Please. Our pups and I need you. I can’t believe I’m stooping to this, but Aiden needs you. ” The King Lisa was talking about?
The man whispered, “Yes, I said Aiden. Your brother is worried, and to be honest I’m worried about him.
ME! I sent Dylan to Faerie to try and cheer Aiden up.
” Was he telling this woman a made up story?
Faerie? As in where Fairy’s live?! No, that was crazy.
Obviously, there was a town named Faerie. That’s definitely it.
The man continued, “Your brother is not sleeping. Aiden claims he won’t rest until he finds out what’s happening to you. I can feel you fighting in our bond. I need you to come back to us. You’re our glue. Hell, you are my rock.”
