The Moon's Descendant - Chapter 47 - The Triple Goddess
Zelena.
“Do you really think my dad could know something about this?” I asked softly
“I don’t know darling, maybe. At the moment we don’t really have many other options, do we?” she answered.
I looked down at my hands, I really don’t want to see him, but I must know if this is true or not. Would he even know anything? He never let on to it, or at least I didn’t realise if he did. Plus, the shower thing was weird, with the water and the shampoo bottle. Could that be one of the powers in the book, did I do that to the water?
“Roe, something happened in the shower, I think I should tell you about it” I said quietly,
“Go ahead darling” Roe answered with and encouraging tone.
“Ah, well um, the water from the shower head was kind of floating”
“Floating?”
“Yeah, like, it hit the ground and bounced up again, but then it just kept flying up. And when I dropped the shampoo bottle it didn’t fall, it was hanging in mid-air. Do you think that I did that, maybe?” I was looking at my fingers in my lap as I spoke. Nervous to know the answer.
I looked up at her face and she was staring at me with a huge smile on her face. I thought her eyes were about to burst out of her head.
“Oh Zelena” she breathed heavily, putting her hands to her chest,
“It sounds like you either have Hydrokinesis or Telekinesis. However it could also be a gravitational power. Being in the shower surrounded by water, it would be hard to tell exactly which power it is. A water gift would be spectacular. The glorious things you could do” she cooed happily. But then her face dropped a little and she looked off to the wall.
“If it is Gravitokinesis, we must be very cautious, it’s a very strong power, one of the strongest there is. So much of the gift can be beautiful, but a lot can also go wrong” she said turning very serious.
Okay, so I apparently have superpowers now. Great, I thought sarcastically. Will the surprises ever stop coming, I don’t know how much more weirdness I can take. Like seriously. Enough now, please magical Moon Goddess.
“Roe, I-I don’t know about this, isn’t it just a little too far-fetched?” I asked looking at her with my head tilted.
She half smiled and closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath.
“I understand how confusing this must be for you, my dear. Not four weeks ago you didn’t even know that were-kind existed, and now I'm telling you that you’re a daughter of the moon and have unimaginable powers. It would be a lot for anyone to hear. But please trust me, my entire life has been dedicated to learning and teaching others about our history. I would never intentionally lead you astray, this is real, and this is happening.” she said looking directly into my eyes.
We were pulled from our conversation by Lupus walking through the door, followed by Gunner. Gunner looked flushed and agitated.
“Hello Zelena” Lupus nodded at me, I smiled weakly in response.
He sat down next to Roe and Gunner sat next to me, taking my hand in his and kissing my cheek.
“I’m sorry I lost my temper” he whispered.
“It’s okay” I said kissing his lips.
“Roe, tell me what’s going on would you please” Lupus said turning to his wife.
“Zelena has the mark of the Goddess, my love. She is the chosen descendant and has already began to exhibit powers” Roe said confidently.
Gunner snapped his head to look at me,
***What is she talking about?***
***Something happened in the shower before you came in and I told her about it***
***Why didn’t you tell me?***
***Because I thought I was hallucinating***
***You still should have said something***
***I didn’t know Gunner***
“Stop flashing you two, talk to us” Roe growled,
“Sorry, Gunner was asking about the powers”
“I’d like to hear it too, if you don’t mind” Lupus grumbled.
“I was having a shower and the water started floating upwards, and I dropped a bottle of soap and it didn’t fall to the ground”
“Are you certain?” Gunner questioned,
“It’s kind of hard not to notice”
“Will you show me? Like I taught you last night” he said turning to face me.
“That didn’t turn out so great, in case you forgot”
“Just try, baby, please” he pleaded. I huffed and nodded. It was a hell of a lot harder to concentrate with the eyes of Roe and Lupus on me now as well.
***Ready when you are***
I closed my eyes and pictured the scene in my head, the water drops floating around the shower and the shampoo bottle hovering. I then pushed it out, giving it to Gunner. I heard him gasp and snapped my eyes open. He was looking at me wide eyed.
“I saw it, holy shit” he exclaimed.
“Gunner” Roe hissed,
“Sorry Mum”
“Well, okay then” Lupus huffed,
“So that’s it then, she is really the Triple Goddess?” Gunner breathed,
“Yes. See, I told you” Roe smiled.
I sat back in my chair and huffed. Okay, so they were easily convinced. Roe sure is excited about it, and Lupus hasn’t exactly disputed her theories.
“How do we know for certain though?” I asked not looking up.
“Artemis, he will know how to test you and prove it true” Roe said standing up,
“I’ll go fetch him” she said cheerfully,
“I’ll come with you” said Lupus.
They both left the room and I sat in the chair, completely spinning out. I feel like I’m dreaming, this is all just one big elaborate dream. Finding out about werewolves is one thing, but now this. Gunner squeezed my hand and sat back next to me.
“So, this is quite the revelation” he said looking up at the roof.
“You think? I've just been told that I'm some kind of magical Goddess with superpowers, like I’m not enough of a freak already”
“You’re not a freak Zee, you’re incredible. I knew you were special, and I could always feel that you were very powerful. I would have never guessed all this though”
“What will this mean? Am I going to be studied or experimented on, or something?”
Gunner sat up and looked at me seriously.
“I would never let that happen to you, nothing has to change if you don’t want it too. Our pack will love and respect you and even worship you”
“But Gunner, I don’t want to be worshipped, all I wanted was a family” my voice cracked and I could feel the tears starting to well in my eyes. My emotions were being overwhelmed, the picture I had of our future together had now shifted. We were never going to have that simple, happy and boring life together. Especially not if the pack think I’m a Goddess. This will change everything. I have changed everything.
