full and sighed. I think it was the best one I had ever had.
“So are there Pagans of the Dark ,” I asked. Not quite sure why, but I figured I might as well humour them so I come out of the situation alive.
“Of course my dear. Good and bad. Dark and light. It is the balance the earth needs ,” she said.
“Why does it need it? Why couldn’t everything just be light?” I asked.
She laughed then said, “Good question. One which I will find it hard to explain. Would the world be boring if there was only ever good? No battles to push past. No pain to understand and learn from.”
“It might be boring but at least it would be simple ,” I replied.
“Yes, but the world is not simple. Far from it. Many things are still unknown. You come to me with an open heart, yet you are not letting go enough to believe ,” she pointed out.
“I came here because I felt I had no choice ,” I said honestly.
“You always have a choice Trinity but it is that choice that could have either good or bad consequences.”
“So me coming here is bad,” I asked.
“No, it is good. You want to know but you are choosing not to believe ,” she said.
“I’m confused ,” I admitted.
“You should be. This will all seem so strange and hard to wrap your head around. Just try to have an open mind.”
I gave her a nod in acknowledgement.
“I am a Pagan of the light. The Light has taught me many things. I can now see small glimpses into the future. Only glimpses.”
“Did you see me?” I asked.
“No. I did not see your arrival either. This is a good thing ,” she pointed out.
“Good how?”
“Well if I couldn’t see you, neither could the dark,” she said with a smile.
“Ok, so I will humour you. I am a vampire now ,” I said plainly.
Maria chuckled. “Oh she is a stubborn one Lachlan ,” she said to him.
“Te ll me about it,” was all he replied.
“You are much more than that my dear. There is a Prophecy that foretells of your birth and purpose.”
“O….kay,” I replied with confusion.
“The prophecy says, “A time will come when the final descendent will rise above and you will be forced out of hiding. On the first hour of her 18th birthday she will be scratched by the beast and on the final hour bitten by the monster. Her rise will avenge us all and begin the war that will see your end. She will be unstoppable, a force unlike anything any of us have ever seen. Heed my warning with my final breath…you will all suffer for your betrayal...”
“But I wasn’t scratched by a…”
My mind spun. It was trying to process everything that I had just been told. This could not be real, it could not be happening. My body started to shake and then I felt hands upon my own. Both different warmth’s. One was Lachlan’s and one Maria’s.
“It is hard to process what the mind has chosen not to believe. Take a deep breath ,” Maria said.
I inhaled with a shake. I did not want to understand, I just wanted to go back to being me. Trinity.
“I don’t want this. I don’t want this to be real,” I half sobbed as tears started to form. I was scared and confused. I felt alone and defeated.
“So I am a Vampire and a Beast ,” I asked in a quiet voice.
“No my child, you are the descendant of the ancient immortals that now has the power of both enemies.”
“So I’m immortal and a vampire plus a beast. Anything else?” I said with sarcasm.
“You are the only one of your kind and we do not know what will become of you ,” Lachlan said.
“Oh great, so nothing to worry about then.”
Chapter Twelve
I was silent for the entire drive back home. I was confused, and stubbornly denying what Lachlan and Maria had told me, but at the same time I couldn’t help but feel that it was all true. She had been vague for the most part. I wondered if it was because she didn’t want to drop all the bombs on me at once. She had said that I needed to prepare myself and that I
