Chapter 19 Surprised Dream Guest-2

She sighs, I notice she has a beautiful bracelet with similar symbols as my katana. A gold necklace

hangs around her neck, with a moon and three stars on top.

"Selene, my real name is Carol Dianne Slate. You and I are descendants of our goddess, Artemis,

our mother... sister, of goddess Selene, and Hecate....our third moon goddess.

Selene, you and I are rightful warriors, protectors of our moon goddess Selene, we have served to

protect her from the beginning of time. We come from a lineage of warriors, and protectors. That is

why, you were bestowed with the gift of our moon goddess Artemis, as a warrior and protector. Not only

to our goddess but in your case, to your pack.

In you are powers greater than you know. But you are yet to embrace and discover them. You are

a rightful child of the moon. Stating the obvious, you are known as a moon child.

You will not be able to control those powers, until you embrace your true identity, and become one

with your third being." She left me more confused than how I was. What does she mean moon child? A

third being? How is this possible?

"I don't understand.... this is too much." My eyes watered, my head throbbed and my body felt

shaking. I was trembling from all this confusion.

"I know it's a lot to take in Selene... but it's true my dear."

"Don't call me dear. If you really are my mother... then why aren't you here with me? Why? Why

did you give me up? What about my brother Ty? Or is he, my brother?...... How could you do this to

me?" I yelled out of frustration.

I wanted to run, to scream. I was so much more frustrated and confused than I'd been before.

"Selene relax, please? just..... listen!?" Hazel implored. She looked so sad and disoriented.

I cried in agony. I felt abandoned, alone, and unwanted for the first time.

"Sweetheart, I didn't want to leave you. But it was for the best. For both of us. I can not live in your

world, it is not permitted... I can only visit in your vivid dreams. That is why I am allowed to see you only

around your birthday... it was the agreement I had to do with Selene... I had no choice baby. I love you,

you're my daughter, if it'd been my choice, I'd never would have given you up. But this...... is far more

complicated than it seems." Her eyes watered, she graced her hand softly across my cheek. I sighted,

gulping down the heavy knot caught in my throat, as I allowed my tears to fall freely down my cheeks.

"Selene, I fell in love with a human. Something that is forbidden among gods, among us. I had to

make a choice, to leave you behind and let you live, or they'd take you away from me either way and

terminate you and your father."

"What? What do you mean let us live?"

" If I left, and came back to my world, the gods would allow allowing you and your father to live. If I

refused to leave you both.... we'd live running our whole lives, like fugitives. They would send aswangs

after us. You do know what an aswang is right? It's an evil monster... half vamp-"

"I know what an aswang is.... I've had the pleasure of killing a few of those son of a bitches. But

that didn't give you the right to give up on me, to give me up. You should have looked for me. You

should have told me about your existence long ago. Instead, you chose to wait over twenty years."

She looked at me with sadness filled in her eyes. I know maybe I was being hard on her. But I was

so mad at her right now. I let my rage take over me.

"What about Rebecca? Why didn't my father tell me anything about you or her? Is he even my real

father."

"He is, Chansey is your real father... and Rebecca is only a decoy if you can call it that. She is your

guardian, and protector if you want to call her that.

She knows about your father and me, she was sent by me to look after both of you and Tyler."

"What about Ty? Does he have any powers? Is he my real brother?"

"He is, but he doesn't have any powers other than his werewolf. The power was bestowed upon

you for being an heir of Artemis. The lineage is only bestowed upon the female born, not the males."

We continued to exchange questions and answers. I was mad, irritated, and confused. But the

more I asked, she answered and I felt she was answering truthfully. I felt at peace, it all made sense.

Why I never saw Rebecca shift into a wolf, why she always seemed to hum tunes to herself that

seemed more like she was chanting. She was my protector.

I knew now, that there is a third part of my being. A part I needed to learn to embrace, to conquer,

to be able to control. My third being, soon to be awakened. Would I be able to control her? Would we

get along?

My mother Carrie let me know of her and how I may awaken her... but it seemed so complicated. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

When I finally awaken her, I was bound and determined to conquer her. Get her to tell me her

name, become one with her and Haze. And we, as three, will be more powerful than ever before.
