Chapter 44: Chapter 44

REVELATIONS

ALANA'S POV

I sat on the floor leaning against catalaya's bed struggling to catch my breath I hadn't even realized that Mr morningstar had opened the door to let everyone in until I heard Lucy call out my name and rushed towards me asking if I was okay. Tears glistened in her eyes threatening to spill over as she wipes the blood from the corners of my mouth.

In all honesty I am okay I felt no pain whatsoever Mr morningstar had already healed me I was just exhausted as well as trying to calm myself due to the adrenaline rush.

"...lana, Alana!!" Lucy yells bringing me back to reality

"Are you sure you're okay" she asks once again worriedly

I smile at her and gently brushed away the tears at the corners of her eyes the nodded slowly to let her know I was fine.

After confirming I was in fact okay she immediately moves away from me, the gentleness in her eyes quickly replaced by a sharp coldness that felt as if it was piercing through my heart. I know she is angry I couldn't blame her I deserved it after all but despite all that, I had to do what I did.

"Alana are you sure you're not feeling any pain?" Adonis asks worry evident in his eyes

With my breathing finally under control I answered

"Yes"

He then walked over and picked me up from the ground placing me on the bed where Cat laid with her eyes closed.

"Mr morningstar is Cat going to be okay?" I asked

"She's fine Alana" he smiles at me

"And it's all thanks to you I'm forever in your debt"

Shaking my head I say

"There's no need to thank me she's my sister and she would have done the same for me. I'm just glad I got the chance to save her so she can save all of us"

His smile falters as he asks me

"What do you mean by save all of us, you've mentioned this before"

Unable to hold back my tears as the memories of what I've seen floods my mind, I say in between sobs

"We're all going to die"

I could hear gasps all around me and see their shocked and confused expressions but only I truly understood what is about to take place in the next couple of days. I wanted to tell them quickly so they could prepare but the burning in my throat prevented me from speaking. Mr morningstar held my hand and gave it a gentle pat telling me to take my time as I'm sure he could feel how hard this is for me.

Lucy then came to sit on the bed placing my head in her lap as she runs her fingers through my hair, causing a instant calming effect. I looked up at her as she massages my scalp. With a nod she tells me to continue and so I begin to explain everything from the beginning starting with the day Cat killed jasmine.

I had followed Cat to ask her if she could ask the sins to stand down as they had already demolished three quarters of the hybrid pack, what I hadn't expected however was the grizzly scene that played out before me. I watched as Cat administered the punishment Jasmine deserved I was also awe struck at how much power resided in Cat's body, I had no clue just how powerful she was.

When she was finally done and there were no traces of Jasmine left on this earth I see Cat revert to her human form and I suddenly remembered why I came after her. I meant to call out to her but I felt a sudden pressure in my mind and then I collapsed.

Cat had brought me back to the pack house while I was still unconscious however it took two days for me to regain consciousness and when i did the visions I had while unconcious replayed in my mind. I knew Gabriel would come for me and I knew my mom would try to stop him and she would have gotten hurt so in order to prevent everyone from getting hurt I pretended to be scared of Cat and told lucy I needed space so they'd all stay away from me.

Then, on the day Gabriel came for me I told mom I needed to clear my head, I gave her a kiss and a hug then flew off to meet Gabriel and Noah who were making their way towards the pack, I still remember their shocked faces when they saw me coming towards them and the conversation we had.

"Well well well look who it is" Noah snickered when he saw me

"I know why you both are here what do you want?" I say getting to the point

"I just came to talk to you and your mother we meant no harm Alana" Gabriel said

"First off I know you guys are here for me I also know you both saw what Cat did to Jasmine so there's no need for you to pretend 'father' I say letting them know the jig is up

"Well since you know why we're here then you know you can stop us" Noah says pulling out a sword I've never seen in all my existence it was made up of light, pure holy light.

"I never said I was here to fight" I glared at him coldly, my hatred for him evident in my eyes

"Stop it both of you at the end of the day you're still siblings" Gabriel admonishes

"Both of you are nothing to me the only reason I'm doing this is because i don't want my mom to get hurt" I scoff at the both of them then flew in the direction they came from.

We flew way past the hybrid packs territory until we reached some kind of forest then Gabriel told me to stop there. Before I could ask why he casted a teleportation spell that brought us to the inside of a building it look like some kind of mansion but I wasn't too caught up in the decor because I felt a pressure in my mind again similar to the one I felt the day I fainted.

Before I could figure out what it was Gabriel snapped at me to hurry up since they'd started walking and I wasn't following.

I followed them into a room and that's where I met her the most sinister and evil woman that ever existed, Aphrodite.

Everyone looked at me in surprise but I just continued with my explanation.

As I entered the room they led me to I felt her aura, it was sickening. She was extremely beautiful but that is only to hide the evil bitch that she is.

After Gabriel introduced me to her she immediately told me why I was brought there, they wanted me to betray Cat and when I refused she threw some kind of powder at me luckily I reacted quickly and it missed.

She instructed Noah to restrain me and he and I began fighting although I am alot more powerful than he is due to my hybrid powers, he had the sword of light that I found out could completely kill me. I was injured and they tied me down with some kind of chain that felt like it was draining my powers.

I figured they knew I wouldn't cooperate with them and they planned for that, they planned on forcing me to do their bidding. I knew I had to act quickly so when Aphrodite came Close to me and wanted to throw whatever that powder was at me I used all the strength I could muster in my body and kicked her to the ground.

The moment she fell I heard a clinking sound as if some sort of crystal fell to the ground and broke, no sooner had a huge vortex opened up pulling everything in.

Aphrodite was screaming at Gabriel to hurry up and contain it as the vortex pulled her Noah and myself closer towards it. I hadn't know what would happen if I got sucked in but i knew I had to get away from them so without hesitation and with a chair strapped to me I planted my feet on the ground and ran towards it. Noah tried to grab me but it was already too late I was dragged into eternal darkness.

I had no clue how long I was unconscious for as there seemed to be no context of time where I was. It was like being trapped in deep outer space, I was just floating along uncontrollably. It was unclear how long I had been in that dimension but there was absolutely no way out, it was as if the purpose of this thing was to trap things in.

I continued drifting aimlessly until something caught my eye, it was a small flicker of light. At first I thought I imagined it but then I saw it again and the small  light steadily started to grow. It got brighter and brighter the closer I came to it, the light was calming it reminding me of the glow of a full moon and for some reason that gave me hope.

Soon the light started spreading, glowing brighter as if creating a path, so I begun following it. The density of the light increased the further along I went and something in me told me I was getting close.

Close to what? I had no idea.

Soon the light got so bright I couldn't open my eyes, then it dimmed to the perfect lighting that would allow me to see clearer. I looked around and gasped when my eyes caught sight of a female in chains. At that moment the pressure in my mind returned and intensified to the point where I had to let out a scream, then it subsided as if it was never there.

My vision became blurry then gradually got clearer.

Light seemed to be radiating from the female and she was bound by silver chains similar to the ones Aphrodite had tied me to the chair with earlier. I rushed towards her only to be thrown back by an invisible force. I frowned and made way towards her again, it was that time she looked up. When she saw me a smile lit up her face, the chain that bound her suddenly glowed yellow like liquid gold. I watched as the females body glowed a bit and the pure energy was absorbed by the chains and her body contorted in pain.

What is this? I wondered to myself

I opened my mouth to speak, unable to find the words I could only shut it

Who is this female?

"Hello Alana" she rasped, a smile forming on her face after she recovered.

How did she know my name? i wondered

I said nothing but just stared at her in confusion trying to figure out if this is some kind of trick set up by Aphrodite to make me drop my guard, or if I'm even in some other dimension or is this a spell?

"This is not a trap Alana" she tells me

"While this place is a prison created by Aphrodite I led you here of my own free will"

"Isn't that something someone who's trying to trap me would say?" I muttered with skepticism

At that moment she laughed, despite the pain that she was going through she laughed.

"Oh Alana you're so much like Sylvia"

"Wait how do you know my mother?" I ask

She thought for a while then said "I just do"

"Huh?"

Her face contorted in pain as the chains drained her energy once again.

"What is this?" I whispered gesturing to the chains

"My eternal punishment" she says

"Every time I recharge my energy above my basic requirement the chains take it away, I have just enough to live"

"Why?" I ask, She took a deep breath.

"I wronged someone, hence this is her way of taking revenge"

"Aphrodite" I say rather than ask, she only nods

"How long have you been here?"

"As you can probably tell the concept of time does not apply here so I couldn't say for sure how long, though i am aware that it has been a few years"

"This is terrible, how could Aphrodite be so cruel, it doesn't matter what you did she's taking this too far" I say getting upset at the level of that womans cruelty

"This is nothing to me, I've been around longer than she can imagine and I'll be here for even longer. My only regret is that I'm not able to protect my creations from her wrath nor am I able to speak with my father anymore"

"Your father? Where is he can't he get you out of here?"

"He could but he doesn't like interfering in his children's life and i've asked him not to"

I stared at her completely confused, her face was ethereal, too beautiful for this world. Her skin dispute the hardships still had its glow, her hair was the richest shade of black I'd ever seen and her eyes were the most mesmerizing silver, they reminded me of two full moons.

"Who are you?" I ask as an uneasy feeling rustled in my chest

Ignoring my question she says I'm so proud of you Alana, when Sylvia asked me for a child whom she could pass on her power and knowledge to I knew I had made the right decision with you. You've done an amazing job protecting lucifer's daughter as your mother had protected lucifer.

"W-what are you talking about and how could you know about me and Cat?"

"I know alot of things things Alana even things that haven't happened as yet" she says staring into my eyes

Suddenly her silver eyes glowed brighter than I'd ever seen them since being here and when we made eye contact I felt the pressure in my mind again but this time it didn't hurt and that's when I saw it, I saw everything. I saw what happened to lucifer and how he was casted out of heaven and why, I saw the creation of the human race I saw the creation of olympus, I found out who Aphrodite was and why she had such a deep hatred for this female.

Everything was revealed to me, the past, the present and even the future and a whole lot more.

I fell back in shock looking at the chained woman before me as my entire body trembled and realization dawned on me in the most unexpected way the only thing I could muster to say was

"Y-you're the moon goddess"
