Chapter 12

Just then a bright light Shone into the place, soon the darkness and light were battling for domination, spinning in circles around each other, the fog slowly disappeared, and she fell to the floor. She looked closely into the bright light and she could see the violent face of the very woman she had always been in her dreams, the same woman who held the baby at the boundary, the woman whose face was calm and still. Jupiter got to know that this woman wasn't just calm, she was a fighter, Jupiter was marveled at her physical fighting skills in combination to the exchange of power she blasted at the dark creature, she casted spells and hit it over and over with all her strength and it slowly disappeared, letting the bright light dominate.
The woman turned to her and her expression changed, she was smiling at Jupiter, it was so genuine, and it was the first time she had seen her face more clearly, her silver hair moved backward, and Jupiter's red hair blew too in response. The woman walked closer to her and stopped few feet away from her. She wondered if the woman recognized her.
"I've waited for you to call me, for so long" the woman spoke, and her voice was the most angelic voice she had ever heard, Jupiter blinked her eyes simultaneously.
"Do you know me?" Jupiter asked,
"Yes, I do", she replied with a smile.
"How can you recognize me?"
"I don't recognize you, but only one person can call me here and back to earth and that person would be my family, which is you",
"You're my mother?"Jupiter whispered and the woman nodded and then Jupiter frowned "but I've always called you",
"You never called me to your dreams, I can only appear in your dreams before I can appear physically"the woman still maintained a smiling face.
"That's all I had to do?" Jupiter asked,
"Yes, I've been waiting for when you'll call my name. I knew he would always come into your dreams but when he attacked you here, you always fight or run away, you never called me to come to your rescue" she explained
"So, what now?" she asked in confusion.
"I'll be coming to earth soon, I don't know anything about you and how you survived, I'll love to know" she smiled widely.
"How I survived? When you dumped me in that forest, you never cared" Jupiter said in rage.
"I knew you would live, you were destined to live, the prophecy said so", the woman frowned, and Jupiter shook her head.
"How can I trust you?" she asked,
"I don't know, my name is Laura. What's yours?"
"When we meet again, on earth then I'll tell you my name", Jupiter answered "I need to go back now",
Then the woman walked closer to her, but she moved backward with a frown,
"I want to send you back, trust me", she said, and Jupiter wondered where all the smiled on her face faded to, then she nodded and walked closer to the woman. Laura placed her hands-on Jupiter's forehead.
"Wake up"she whispered and then the light Shone brighter and it blinded Jupiter.
"We have to call the healer" the masculine voice said in panic,
"Olivia dial the number "a teary female said,
Jupiter blinked and opened her eyes, then she met her family in front of her with Olivia beside her, she frowned slightly.
" I was so scared "Queen Irine cried, squeeze Jupiter closer.
"What's happening here?" She asked staring at Olivia for a reply, then she looked around, Venus and Mars stood behind her adoptive parents.
"You weren't waking up, for two hours now, I had no choice but to call the king. But I'm surprised to see the whole Royal family"Olivia answered with a bow.
"We were all worried, we had to come over " King Desmond said and Jupiter could read the pains in his voice.
"I wasn't dead for goodness sake, I was breathing right?" She asked.
"You were trapped in your dreams, longer than you've ever been" Venus answered. "We were worried Jupiter, mom almost had a heart attack".
Jupiter stood up and looked at each of them, then she hurried over to Queen Irine and hugged her tightly and cried on her shoulder and King Desmond came closer and hugged them both, creating a group hug, then Venus and Mars joined them.
"Where is Mercury?" She whispered.
"She had refused coming in. She's outside". Mars answered.
"I want to see her" she said as she withdrew from the hug.
Adam and Seth walked down to the building, they saw a younger girl at the door, shared almost the same features as Jupiter, except for her milky blonde hair and her brown shaded eyes.
"Hello"Seth greeted politely but she ignored them and stared elsewhere.
"We're just looking for someone, we don't know if stays here"Adam said
"She?"Mercury asked"what's her name?
"Jupiter"The boys said simultaneously and immediately she threw a blow at them and they duck and dodge as she sent more punches and kicks at them.
"Is that a reply?" Seth shouted as she was already getting weak.
"We only asked a question". Adam shouted through the blows and she rolled her eye in frustration as the boys could match her physical strength.
"Why would you ask of my sister? You want to kidnap her?". Mercury replied in anger and the two stopped in surprise.
"Sister?". Adam asked in astonishment.
"You're Jupiter's sister, your Mercury". Seth smiled as they both left their guards clown and immediately earned a punch on their face.
"How do you know me? You're a spy?" She asked in confusion.
"We are Jupiter's school mate". Seth groaned in pain.
"But this isn't school" she folded her hands. "You should wait for her and not come over her".
"She wasn't in school and we thought we should find her with Olivia". Adam answered as he rubbed his face with his palm.
"And why is that so important to you? They just resumed school, it's just been two days in that school" She said angrily, obviously doubting the boys' mission.
"They are our friends, friends watch for themselves " Adam smiled.
"Go back to school, she'll meet you there"Mercury said.
"I must see them before I leave"Seth insisted with a frown. They knew it would be hard trying to get along with Jupiter's sister.
"I make the decisions here"Mercury commanded
"Not when we were taught to stand firm by your own sister"Adam laughed
"How did Jupiter get to know this set of annoying humans" Mercury folded her fist.
"What's your name?"she asked trying to control her anger.
"I'm Seth and he's Adam"
"Weird names"she rolled her eyes in mockery.
"It's better than the planet names your wolf parents gave to you'll "Seth laughed and Adam joined him, that got to her, she moved so fast than they could imagine and pinned them to the ground.
"Did you mention wolf?" she shouted.
"We know about the werewolves"Seth tried to speak as she pressed him harder, she couldn't trust this people.
"Jupiter told us about you all"Adam added and Mercury shook her head negatively.
"She would never do that, I trust her"
"I was the boy at the boundary with my father"Seth shouted and tried to struggle out of her grip.
"That's a lie"she doubted as she tightens her grip on them.
"Mercury let them be!", Jupiter shouted, and Mercury released the boys immediately and they got up hurriedly.
"Adam? Seth?" Olivia called in surprise "what are you doing here?"
"Wow! Is this a family visit?" Seth said as he saw all the people behind Jupiter and Olivia. Then they hurriedly bow at them with smiles on their face.
"You know them?" King Desmond asked, and Olivia nodded as Jupiter walked down, stopping right in front of Mercury.
"Hey" Mercury smirked "surprised to see me?
Yes. I was worried about you too"
"I miss you Mercury" Jupiter said as tears formed in her eyes.
"Come on, don't show me those tears, I need some hug" Mercury smiled as she pulled Jupiter into a tight hug.
"You forgave me?"Jupiter asked wiping her tears and Mercury nodded with a smile.
"You made a bloody deadly decision to leave me at the kingdom, but it was the right thing to do" Mercury grinned and pointed at the boys. "You already made friends without delay. It was something you couldn't do at the kingdom, though these boys are weird and crazy"
"You're okay with it?" Jupiter asked.
"I'm happy for you and your happiness means a lot to me" she smiled.
"Let's go inside"Jupiter smiled widely "I have a lot to tell you about this place"
"You'll start with this two guys" Mercury said as Jupiter dragged her forward.
"Seth and Adam?" Jupiter laughed as they walked in and others trailed behind.
"You told them about us?" Mercury asked as everyone turned to them "you told them about wolves"
"Not exactly, Seth was the guy at the boundary, Venus could identify that, and Adam got to know about us because he's a wizard"Jupiter answered.
"Wizard?" They all said in unison and turned to him, all changing to their wolf form to attack.
"No! Everyone stand down"Jupiter shouted and she immediately stood in front of Adam, but they weren't retreating.
"You can't kill him," Olivia said to them, "he helped her know her biological mother".
"You found them?" Queen Irine asked as they shifted back to human.
"How do you do that?" Seth asked, interrupting the first question.
"Do what?" Mars asked
"Get new clothes when you tore the other one while transforming to your wolf, you should be naked" he whispered the last word.
"It's only the Royal family that have that gift", Venus answered, and he nodded.
"Did you find your parents?" Mercury asked,
"Not exactly, Adams father was my mom's childhood friend, he's a wizard and my mom are the witch queen" Jupiter replied, and they gasp, their eyes widen in surprise.
"How do you know all this?" King Desmond questioned,
