Selene's pov.I looked up at my father confused. I had no idea what to make of the words I had just read. “Ok, ok it's not that bad.” Darius said, “I don't get what all the major fuss was about. Gabriel shook his head and cupped his eyebrows tiredly.“This is isn't just it.” Magnus explained, “She is the doom of her kind, of everything like her.” He looked at me with eyes of pity. I hated that, and I hated what was going on in front of me.“So what do we do?” I asked, “I don't want to end up being killed because you guys don't want the prophecy coming to pass.” “If we wanted you dead we would have left you in town with the wolves,” Gabriel said tiredly. He collapsed on the chair behind him and rubbed his hands together.“It's so fucking cold here.” He complained.“Something here does not make sense.” Darius said, “The prophecy spoke of three mountains and tree rivers.”“Three streams.” Gabriel corrected. “The prophecy contains so cryptic words.” He shook his head. Three mountain
Ansari's pov.The wind blew through my hair as I Walk through the almost emptying street. The wind was blowing through town with a vengeance and there was not a single soul in sight. This was the worst possible time to call for a council meeting and it annoyed me greatly. The wind picked up strength and soon I had to shield my face with my hands. I silently cursed Adolphus and his insensitivity. The council hall stood desolate at the top of its hill, the sight of it sending shivers down my spine. For some weird reason, I could not comprehend the thought of going in filled me with dread. “Welcome Luna.” The guards greeted me before moving aside to let me in. I smiled tiredly at them in response. It had been three days since my grandson had aided in the escape of the hybrid child and the council had been extremely infuriated by our failure to catch them before they could escape. And Gabriel, that spineless goat, I should have locked him up and taken off h
Selene's pov… I could feel his grip around my hand begins to lessen. I was too fucking sweaty. Terror seized my mind when I looked down at the forest that zoomed away below the torn and mangled plain.“Magnus, I'm slipping.” I cried in horror.He had a huge wound on his arm And he gritted his teeth in pain.“Selene hold on,” Gabriel screamed. He was pinned down by a pile of chairs. Darius was hanging on to a broken piece of metal. All around us, the plane blazed madly.“I'm slipping Magnus.” I cried. My hand slipped another centimeter and a Yelp escaped my lips. My life flashed before my eyes.“Hold on Selene, I'm not letting you go…EarlierThe plane ran down the runway with terrifying speed and my body was instantly thrown back to my seat. I could feel the nasty effect it was having on my build and the urge to vomit was something out of this world. Magnus's rough hands held mine and I looked up to see him staring at me in concern. “Are you alright?” He asked. I nodded my head in
Selene's pov“Dad what's happening,” I asked in fear. The people on the right stood up and it was almost as if it was a signal to the others. One by one they rose from their seats all the while their eyes stayed on us.“It's an ambush.” My father whispered, “An ambush.” He repeated to himself. How the fuck was that possible? They followed us into the plane and took over, there was not a single human in the plane. The hostess smiled at me. “You're not completely correct. The pilots are human. We could change that though.” She saw the shock that filled my eyes and smiled. “The thoughts from your mind,” her tongue flickered out her mouth. “ I can taste them. The taste of fear is my favorite.Magnus's large hands held mine and he pulled me behind himself. He turned to my father and said, “A circle, now”“We can't fight them here. We can't risk this plane.” Darius said. “What are they?” I asked. My father still had a look of disbelief on his face.“There's logins, reptili
Gabriel's POV:“Darling.” A sweet voice called. A searing headache tore through my head.“Darling.” The voice called again.Was that? Was it?“Lyra?” I asked weakly. Her beautiful face stared down at me with a smile that shined brighter than the stars.“Lyra,” I whispered once again and raised my hand to touch her. She faded away like a wisp and all I was left with was nothing but a strange scent. A scent from a lifetime ago. A time when I was genuinely happy.Where was I? Green light filtered down from the leaves, leaving a green hue all over my skin. The headache tore through me once again.“Ahhh,” I exclaimed. I brought my hand up to my head, it was strangely moist. I inspected my fingers to see the red liquid flowing down. Fuck. What happened?A strange glow caught my eyes and I turned to see flames all around me. A plane, but why was it on fire?A piece of rubble shook and fell from its pile. My mind was instantly on alert.“Ahhh.” Someone yelled from within the rubble. “Help m
Magnus's pov I smiled at the look of happiness that lit up on Gabriel's face. He pointed to the summit and then back to me. I smiled at him and nodded. But then his face clouded over. “How can we be sure?” He asked.I turned to Selene who was nestled in a corner. She looked so tired, and more than that she was hurt. When I had regained consciousness she had been next to me with a piece of metal in her right thigh. The fact that she was here with me, fighting was a reason to believe and have hope.“You should not think that. You just need to have hope.” I said. He chuckled and turned to me. “I thought I lost the lot of you.” He said. I nodded my head and smiled. I thought both of them had been lost as well. I could not explain how both of them had made it out of the crash alive but then I could not explain how I made it out alive either.“Three mountains and three rivers, those were the words,” Gabriel whispered.“Yes.” I replied, “We just have to find the stream moo.. ms next.”
Selene's pov.I wheezed and coughed and my breath caught in my throat. All I could see in front of me was more miles ahead to cover.Fuck I can't!“You should continue moving.” A voice said from behind me.I turned around to see Daruis struggling behind me. His wounds had begun to heal but his face was still burnt in some places.I did not care about his wounds because the urge to curse him was strongly on my mind. I turned forward and continued moving forward. I could see the backs of Gabriel and Magnus who occasionally turned around to check on our progress.Gabriel's eyes were looking back in our direction at that very moment.“Hurry up you two, it's not safe to be this stretched out.!” He yelled. His voice echoed towards us. He should have thought about that before making me hike through the woods for over a freaking day. It was already way past the afternoon and the mountains still looked as far away as ever.Gabriel stopped moving and waited at the fallen tree trunk with a pret
Ansari's pov…I stared at him and concentrated hard on his mind. Adolphus instantly fell from his seat to the ground. “Stop!!” He cried. “Get out of my head!!”I stopped trying to mind-link him. Adolphus was a stupid goat, he managed to block me out.“I tried doing this without violence but you have all forced my hand,” I said riding to my feet….Memories of that day kept replaying over and over again in my head. I couldn't stop it…“The book of prophecies has been stolen.” One of the ancients finally said.I stared at him in confusion. There was no way I heard right, did he just say…“You heard him. The book given to us by the Goddess has been stolen. Our people's heritage!!” Adolphus roared madly. I paid no attention to his anger but Fell back tiredly to my seat.“How?” I asked confused. The book was the most guarded artifact in our possession and it had special spells and enchantments on it to protect it from thieves.“Isn't it obvious?” Adolphus sneered. “Take a wild guess.”A fac
