My Gift To You

**Cynthia's POV**

I can see the brightest light and Cyrus and I are running towards it we must get out of here I was screaming hoping they would hear me, and they did now just to find the way out.
I’m inches away from the light so I link them and let them know.
"Guys its right there I’m coming " I reach for it and then the light goes out.
Cyrus what happened the light was right there, I turn to my side and she’s gone, instead a few meters away is a shadow of a woman, a woman who I have met before.
"Moon goddess your here "

She steps towards me with so much elegance and grace and I’m again so humbled by her presents I can’t help but now my head to her. However, she places a finger underneath my chin and lifts my head so I’m looking into her bright white eyes.

"*Cynthia my child how you have grown. I have watched you use your gift for nothing but good* "

I smile at her feeling the wave of calmness she radiates hits me.

"*I knew you would try to seek me out when I sent you Sigurd, are you happy?*"

Feeling the confirmation that she sent Sigi to me I my heart aches a for Kari, how would he feel.

"*Cynthia come sit, I have much to explain and not a lot of time to do it* "

She ushers me to a bench that has just appeared under the tree the moon shining on it I sit down my eyes never leaving hers.

"*Cynthia , I know you must be confused as to why you have a second mate but when you came to me in so much pain I felt it , I couldn’t take you pain away and I knew the gift was temporary what I could do however was fill your life with happiness and Sigurd will do that for you, His soul will heal yours . He is my real gift to you* "

There are tears falling down my face.

"*Cynthia he will heal you but before he does you must feel the pain you blocked out to be able to let him in. You must let him feel this with you* "

I nod now practically sobbing at her words.
"I’m so scared, I’m so scared to open myself up to him what if I get hurt, what if I hurt him "

She takes my hand on hers and moves the hair that has stuck to my tears out of my face.
"*Cynthia, he is your other half I will be there for you always you just have to let him in* "

She then stands up my hand still in hers.
"*Cynthia, that is not all. When you go back you much deliver a reminder to your sisters* "

I’m instantly paying attention to her.
"*You must remind them that you are stronger together, you are stronger when you are bonded as one* "

I go to reply but she's gone and where she stood is the light from before and I hear my sisters and Sigi calling me. I know this is going to be hard, but I also know Sigurd is going to be worth feeling again with that last thought I step into the light.

I can hear beeping and the people talking around me but it’s not enough to hear it clearly my eyes are blurred and I can see people stood around me, I try to speak but my mouth is so dry nothing comes out . The figure closest to me drops my hand and leaves and someone else takes their place.

As soon as his hand touches mine, I know its Sigurd, the tingles erupt from my hand and spread throughout my whole body like I’m feeling for the first time. My eyes begin to clear, and I see his concerned face staring down at me his eyes melting me I try to speak but end up saying nothing but incoherent mumbles.
He chuckles to himself.

"*Cynthia maybe you should have a drink first because that wasn't any language I understood* "

A hand appears in front of my face holding a cup of water I look at the person holding it and see Selene staring at me a smile on her face.
I take the cup of water and drink all of before asking for another Sigi has not let go of my hand and I don’t want him do he keeps squeezing it to let me know he is there while Arti and Sel talk about everything that happened, Ryan and Calder are sitting towards the back of the room, I have to admit that it’s all a bit when I just really woke up , after 3 cups of water I manage to speak .

"I have to tell you something "Staring at Selene and Arti, I must tell them that I met the moon goddess.
They both stare at me waiting for me to speak the boys now looking up to.
"I. I saw her again, the moon goddess " Everyone in the room stops like they can’t catch a breath Arti leans closer.

"*Cynth what do you mean you saw her* "

"She came to me before I stepped into the light, she told me a lot of things, but she told me to remind you both ... she told me to remind you that we are stronger together when are bonded as one "
They both stare at me their faces blank.

"*That’s very vague did she say anything else?*"

No Arti that’s all she said in relation to you both. However, if you all don’t mind, I think I need to talk to Sigi.
I see a half smile form on Sel’s face after out talk the other day she knows exactly what I want to talk to him about. Arti grabs hold of Ryan’s hand and pulls him out of the room. To my surprise Sel walks over to Calder and they too leave the room together, I must remember to ask her about what’s going on there later.
Once everyone has left the room, I turn to Sigi and cross my legs.

"Sigi would you sit on the bed with me " I hardly know him but somehow, I feel like I’ve always known him.

"*Sure Cynth*."

He kicks off his shoes and sits at the other end of the bed his legs crossed so we are face to face.

"*Cynthia is everything okay? What happened* "

I can hear the concern in his voice and I know at the moment I’m going to tell him everything , I told him a little bit before this but I was so scared to let him in I tried to speak to the moon goddess first and that’s how I’ve ended up in this hospital bed . She told me he is my other half and he deserves to know everything.

"Sigi I have so much to tell you and I don’t know how you’ll feel at the end of it, I want to tell you about Kari "
I can’t tell what he is thinking I’ve never told him Kari's name before.

"*Kari was your first mate?*" I can tell he's struggling unsure if he wants to know.

"Yes Sigi , when I met the moon goddess she took back my gift , but she told me I have to feel what I chose to give away and she said I must let you feel it with me so I want to tell you everything "

After about 2 hours I’m finished telling him about Kari and about what I did 3 years ago and how I feel now. I cried I laughed, he cried with me feeling the pain with me as a relived it and now we are sat in silence he hasn’t spoken since it has all been said and done though and now, I’m getting nervous.
I don’t know what to do at this point, so I say the first thing that comes to mind.

"Sigi ... its " I take a deep breath. "It’s okay if you don’t want to be with me after hearing this "

His head snaps up his eyes on mine and he crawls towards me planting a kiss firmly on my lips I feel the tingles erupt between us and I spread out my legs so he can lay besides me not breaking the kiss it feels like whatever space between us as closed and his really is my other half it feels like I have been accepted .
He eventually pulls away from our embrace leaving my already missing his touch.

"*Cynth, if it wasn’t clear I could never not want you, I couldn’t imagine my life without you. I didn’t think it was possible but after all of this I love you even more* "

He just said he loves me, and if it was at all possible, I think I love him too.
"Sigi I " He stops me.

"*You don’t have to say it back *"

I put my finger on his lips to get him to shut up.
"Sigi, I love you too"
With those words his lips find mine again we give into each other fully I want everyone to know we belong to one another.
