End of Chapter 13
He watched me, clearly weighing his options. I wanted him to stay, wanted him to comfort me, to tell me it would be alright. To just talk to me, I wanted to tell him about my mom, what I had seen.
"Are 你 sure?" He asked as he stood up.
"Yes, please don't go." I said, looking at my legs because I didn't want to see him leave if he chose to.
"I will stay if 你 promise to rest." He 说 as he walked over to the edge of the bed.
"Ok, I will try." I 说 as I moved slightly and tried to get comfortable, but with the large bump on my head it was difficult.
"Here, let me help you. If 你 don't mind." He 说 as he moved slightly, climbing on to the 床, 床上 again.
I watched him, wondering what he was doing until he moved up 下一个 to me, arranging the pillows behind his back. I smiled as he reached over and gently pulled me over 下一个 to him, tapping is chest as a sign for me to lean on him.
"Are 你 sure?" I asked as I smiled.
"Come on, 你 need to rest for a while." He 说 as he helped me get comfortable, I was instantly relaxed being close to him. I was going to 评论 on that when he started running his fingers through my hair, relaxing me instantly..before I knew it, I was asleep.
Chapter 14
In my dreams I was riding Piper, Concho running along side of me, to me this is what I would imagine flying to be like. I had no limitations, no restrictions, no one asking me to be anything. I threw my head back and laughed as loud as I could, knowing that I was 安全 as long as I was on her back.
I felt her muscles tense as she slowed to a walk, Concho tapping my leg with his nose. Obviously he was trying to tell me something so I looked up and saw that we were walking back to the house. I looked around, noticing that there were three people I hadn't met before sitting at the picnic table, all three of their heads snapping up to look at me as I approached.
"It is about time young one, didn't your mother ever tell 你 it's rude to keep your elders waiting?" A ancient man asked as he stood up, his 识骨寻踪 creaking as he walked over to help me down off of Piper.
"What are 你 waiting for? 你 delivered her to us, 你 have done your work...get." A woman asked as she stood up and shook her finger at the horses.
They both looked at me, waiting for me to tell them what to do. I looked at both of them, waiting for them to leave, but when Concho snatched my sleeve I knew that he was waiting for me to tell him, not this woman.
"It's ok Conchi, Piper. I think I will be just fine, I will find 你 when we're done." I 说 as I patted both of them and smiled as they turned and trotted back to the barn.
"I think 你 are loosing your touch Diana." The old man 说 as he laughed.
"I've never had that happen." She 说 softly, almost in disbelief.
"Don't let it get 你 down dear." The third voice said, my head turning to see my mother stand up and walk over. "Maija has always had a way with animals."
"Mom?" I asked, not believing that I was seeing her again.
"Yes love, I'm sorry I didn't tell 你 earlier. Come, sit with us for a while." She 说 as she led me back to the table, sitting me down before she sat 下一个 to me.
"I suppose I should myself." The old gray haired man 说 as he hobbled back over and sat across from me.
"I think 你 should 显示 her your true self first." My mother 说 as she laughed.
The gnarled old man shook his head as he caught my eye and winked at me. A few 秒 later there was a bright light that blinded me for a few seconds. I blinked until I started making out rough outlines of everything, and when I looked back up at the old man I found him missing. When I could see again there was a guy who looked not much older then I was his eyes twinkling as he smiled at me.
"Hello Maijalissa." He said, his sounding rough, like he had a cold.
"What?" I 说 as I looked over at my mom, so incredibly confused 由 what was going on.
"Maija, I need to explain some things...please be patient with me. Maija, this is Diana." She 说 as she smiled at the older woman with long red hair. She was small in stature but from looking at her I knew that she was someone I wouldn't want to anger. "As I'm sure 你 noticed she has....a way with animals."
"Well I usually have a way with animals, they have always listened until those to." She said, her eyes glaring at the barn.
"I'm sorry." I 说 softly, hoping she would forgive me.
"They can't help it dear, they have been around 你 for so long that 你 are rubbing off on them. I don't think they would know what to do without you." Diana 说 as she smiled, her face lighting up as she grinned. "Do 你 recognize the name dear?"
I thought about it for a minute, nothing coming to mind. I saw them
"Diana, would 你 like to tell your story?" My mother asked.
"Maija, have 你 heard of Diana the huntress? The goddess of animals?" Diana said.
"Yeah, I've heard of her...wait....are...no." I 说 as I stood up.
"Maija, 你 must calm down. We have to explain everything to you, if 你 get too upset 你 will wake.." My mother said, unable to finish her sentence because I started hyperventilating.
I sat up like someone had shocked me, Michael sitting up with me a very surprised look on his face.
"Maija?" He asked, rubbing his hand up and down my back, trying to calm me. "Maija, breath."
I tried to listen to him, to calm myself but I had just been told that I met a GOD that they were real, I had just seen my mother again, what was she doing with a God? And what was the deal with the old man who changed himself, reappearing as a young man.
"Maija, do 你 need me to go get help?" He asked, obviously panicking.
"No, please just give me a minute." I said, my breathing slowing.
"What happened?" He asked as he brushed his fingers across my cheek.
"My mom, I dreamed of my mother. She was with the goddess Diana and another man, someone I had never met." I said, not believing what I was saying.
"Diana, your mother...Virbius." He said, his voice changing as he 说 the last name.
"Who?" I asked.
"Another God, they don't know 你 aren't ready." He 说 to himself and to me. "I have to go tell Dale."
"Wait," I 说 as Michael stood up and walked over to the door, pausing as he looked at me.
"Maija, 你 have to know about your mother. 你 must hear this before 你 dream again." He 说 as he walked out the door, running down the stairs.
Great....proof that everyone knew what was going on with me. And what did Michael mean that I had to know before I would dream of her/them again?
