⚠️Trigger Warning⚠️

This chapter will mention death and brief mentions of SA.

Illiana POV

Death is peaceful. Or I thought it would be. I thought I would be reborn into nature or reincarnated. Hell, I even expected to be judged and sent to the fiery pits of hell. But of course not.

Death can't be that easy.

My eyes flutter open to a bright room and I struggle to open my eyes fully due to light. When my eyes finally adjust, I take in my surroundings. I'm on a pure white bed in a small room. There are no windows or any decor. Besides myself and the bed, there is a singular door and beside it a full length mirror but that's it. I'm about 99% sure that I died. Right? I mean unless I had some weird vision.

My rambling is cut off by the door opening. I turn my head to peek at the person walking in but their face is covered by a black hood. They have a slim but tall body and they're kinda lanky. The person shuts the door and slides their hood down. My stomach drops and every nerve in my body is screaming at me to run. My eyes trail over the brown curly hair and strong jawline. My eyes take in the light freckles on their nose and smirk resting on their face. Finally I get the courage and meet his bright green eyes. My heart is pounding and my mind is frantic as I look at someone I never thought I'd see again.

"Sammy?" My nails digging into my skin, as I wait for his reply, telling myself that this is just a cruel joke. I feel blood pooling in my hands as my mind runs a mile a minute. This can't be Sammy. He's dead. He went to heaven. He was good. My head starts to shake back and forth as I try to deny Sammy being here. The Sammy look-alike slowly approaches me and gently sits on the end of the bed. "Hey Lana." Those two words send me into a puddle of sobs. Sammy looks heartbroken and quickly pulls me to his chest.

My shoulder shake as my body wracks with sobs; all the guilt coming back and weighing me down. My chest aches and I sputter out apologies. "Sammy I'm so sorry! I never wanted you to get hurt and I should have tried harder with my powers! Gods I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm-" I frantically repeat. "Lana! It's ok!" Sammy grabs my face gently and pulls it from his chest. "Lils, I never blamed you okay? I put myself in that position. I wanted to protect you, even if I didn't do a very good job. And you know what? It was worth it. I've been able to see you open yourself back up and meet the loves of your life. I wish I could have been there but I would never change what I did."

My lip quivers again as a sob tries to release from my throat. "I still feel guilty.. and I killed that guy Sammy. I don't deserve your forgiveness and I definitely don't deserve to see you. I should be in hell burning or on the other side for the supernatural. But I should not be here with someone as pure as you" I mumble. He takes a deep sigh and rubs his hand gently across my face, making me look up to him. "Look Lana, I know you think you deserved your death but you didn't. I could honestly fight with you all day over that but we don't have time. Now I want you to think about something. Remember those legends the Blacks used to tell you about? There is a reason you're here with me and it's not just to catch up."

My eyebrows cinch together as I try to remember. "Yeah I remember it but I'm not a part of it. I know Carlisle thought so because of my black blood but there's no way I'm the Superno Regina." (Please wait till the end for a translation. I promise it's worth it). Sammy looks at me with a small smile on his face. "I'm glad you're still as stubborn as I remember you. I know you don't believe in those legends even if they are all true. But Lils, you have to believe. You have to leave here. You don't belong here but only you have to power to leave. And I know you don't want to leave me again but you have to." He's breathing heavy by the end of his speech and his face scrunches up in frustration.

I look into his eyes and start to tear up again. Quickly I shake my head and wipe the tears away. "I can't leave you Sammy! And I just died! Where else am I supposed to go?! I just want to be left in peace. I went through enough hardships Sam." My voice hardens towards then end and Sammy looks at me. "Sam really?" He asks with a eyebrow notched. I roll my eyes and turn away from him. "Look I know you're mad but you can not be here Illana. This place is for the dead and you are not dead. Well k mean you kind are but either way you don't belong here Lils."

My head whips back to him and I start getting angry. I feel a prickly sensation on my skin as I stand up but my anger doesn't fade. My eyes start tingling as well and suddenly lightning shoots from my hands. Sammy jumps out of the way, barely missing it and there's a huge hole that's smoking right where he was standing. I look down at my hands in horror to see them black and inky. "Oh gods! What the fuck is this?! Wha- I- Sammy oh gods I almost killed you again! What's wrong with me?!" My breathing gets erratic and I feel wind whipping against my face. Why is there wind in here?!

Her arms

I try to shake off the black inky substance that is on my skin but it's like a tattoo. Sammy runs to me and grabs my shoulders. "Calm down Lana! Your powers are out of control!" I stare into his eyes as he counts my breathing with me. My heart rate begins to drop and my anxiety fades. Slowly the wind dies down and the lightning recedes from my hands, leaving me shaking and afraid. I back away from him and hit the mirror, almost knocking it over.

   I turn around to steady it but my hands fall limp to my sides when I look into the mirror. Gone was my once brownish red hair. Instead my hair is a dark brown, almost black. My viridian eyes were now a cloudy grey with black undertones. My skin is now as pale as the Cullens, even the usual pink tint on my cheeks is gone. And my poor arms are pure black from my fingers to my elbow, with black vines covering my biceps. Now I match what I look like on the inside. I'm truly a monster now.

Her eyes

Sammy comes up behind me and gently lays a hand on my shoulder. "Lils, I know what you're thinking. You are not a monster okay? This is natural okay. You are the prophesied queen." I look into his eyes and take a breath. "I know you mean well Sammy but how is this natural?! I have black arms! If I was still alive people would run from me. Hell, I'd run from me!" He sighs and spins me around, taking my hands in his. "Your arms will only be like this when you use an excessive amount of magic or if you want it to be there. The only reason they are here now is because you tapped into your magic for the first time. Just close your eyes and think about the black going away on your arms and it will."

I narrow my eyes, waiting for him to crack a smile but he doesn't so I comply. Visualize Illiana. The black on my arms is going to recede until it's completely gone. I will have- "Well done Lana! See? You are the Superno Regina!" (Please wait till the end for a translation. Again, it's worth it). I open my eyes to see my arms back to normal. "So is this like a witch thing? Because I thought I'd be a vampire since they bit me." I look back up to Sammy and see his expression drop. "Well uh, you're both. But you don't need blood to survive. And honestly I don't think you ever have to drink it if you don't want to." My eyebrows shoot up and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "So I'm half witch, half vampire? Cool."

Sammy shakes his head at me but laughs. "We really need to finish this conversation because you can't spend much more time here Lana. If you do, your soul will be in limbo for the rest of eternity." My stomach drops and I begin to panic. "But but I don't want to leave you Sammy! And I don't have a life to go back to! My sister killed me and I don't think my dad even cares! The pack hates me and I don't have any other friends. The only people I had left were.. oh gods! Rissa and the Cullens! They are probably freaking out or on a killing spree! I need to get back!"

I look at Sammy to him smiling at me. "What?" He shakes his head and laughs at me. "I knew you would want to go back. Let me fill you in on the rest of the prophecy and then we can work on getting you home." I nod my head yes and grab his hand, intertwining our fingers. I look up into his eyes and curl myself into him, letting his arms wrap around me. "You know I used to be in love with you. I thought we would end up married with a house full of kids but.. life didn't pan out that way.." I trail off. He smiles sadly at me and wipes away the tears in my eyes. "I know and honestly I did too. You were my everything but we both have to let go and continue our own paths." I sniffle a bit with a rueful smile but nod my head at him.

He sends me a sad smile and asks "well are you ready?" I sigh and shrug my shoulders. "Okay no need to be enthusiastic Lils." I snort at him as he continues. "So you know the legend but there are things you don't know too. I can only tell you so much because it could mess up the future." My brows raise at that and my stomach sinks. "You are a witch obviously and very powerful. When you were human you had problems tapping into your magic in stressful situations right?" I nod yes and he squeezes my hand. Ugly memories resurface and I stuff them down.

   "Please don't think about those times okay? The only reason I ask is because that's a part of things. You couldn't control the power fully as a human and so your powers would falter in stressful situations." I nod my head, taking in the information. "Now you also managed to activate the prophecy when you met the Cullens, which gave you black blood though you always had it technically. Which also means you tapped into your magic fully. Because of the strong magic now in your veins, combined with the vampire blood, your blood has healing properties for the supernatural." My mouth drops and I look down to my veins.

"Along with that, if you turn another person into a vampire they will have a sire bond. Which basically means they are part of your family. You can't control them but they will feel protective over you. Though you do have the ability to compel other supernaturals and humans." My eyebrows shoot up. That would have came in handy when I was alive.

   "You have full elemental powers and of course weather magic which you had before. You have basically unlimited power but you have to retrain yourself with this new magic. It can be taxing and harmful. If you do drain yourself, your true form will appear. They only thing you have so far is the black on your arms but as you work on your magic; your magic will grow on you. The arms are just a start to your true form. And no I do not know what your full true form is. Any questions so far?"

My mind is everywhere and nowhere all at once. I can heal with my blood? And unlimited powers? How am I supposed to control myself?! "I uh I don't think it's set in enough for me to have questions honestly." Sammy nods and continues his speech. "So I want you to try your elemental magic and yes this is for a reason. Try earth first. Imagine hiking with your dad or the old cave we found in Arizona with Rissa." I close my eyes as Sammy speaks and I envision flowers around me with soft petals. I imagine the way grass feels under my bare feet. I slowly open my eyes. I see black smoke coming from my palm and as the fog fades, a small white daisy pushes itself out of my palm. My face lights up as I try to wrap my head around this new magic.

The color of her magic

Sammy grins at my face and claps. "Good job. Now do the same for water, fire, wind, nature, electricity, weather, time, mind, light, dark, and celestial." My smile falls and my eyes bug out. "Twelve?! I have twelve elemental powers?!" He laughs at me and shrugs. "Don't yell at me, I didn't do this. Uh plus, you have fifteen to be exact.." He rubs the back of his neck and smiles sheepishly at me. "The others you won't know until they come to you but I can tell you what they are if you want?" I nod my head and he continues.

   "Chaos magic, shape-shifting and you already know about your telekinesis." I sigh and rub a hand down my face. My head starts to hurt but instead of overthinking, I focus on manipulating water. Black smoke releases again from my palm but it dissipates quickly when water shoots out of my hand. The water hits the ceiling and I mentally face palm myself when I see water about to fall over us. But as I tense waiting for the water to hit, I instead see snow falling around me. I turn to Sammy with a huge smile and pull him close. "I'm Elsa!" He pulls back and nods at me to try again, this time I'm able to solidify the water into a small orb in my hands.

Sammy laughs and nudges me to continue "now fire." Without even trying my hand erupts in bright blue flames. Out of shock I start flapping my arm around, trying to put the flames out. Meanwhile Sammy is on the bed crying from laughing too hard. The flames quickly retracts when I lose focus, making me sigh in relief. Sammy is still laughing at me so I decide to try another power. Wind. Flinging my hands out a gust of air shoots out and blows him over, making him crash on the floor. Now I'm giggling and Sammy is sending me a glare.

My laughter soon subsides as he gets up and sits on the bed again. "Now I would assume I can't really do nature powers without nature right? Like animals and such?" He nods yes and I continue. "So electricity it is then" I state. He takes a few steps back and watches me closely. "Afraid I might zap you?" I tease but he nods yes, making a small pout rest on my face. I envision lightning that lights up the sky on a dark night and the slight tingle you get when something zaps you. Black smoke appears again and slowly clears to reveal lightning connecting between my hands.

I make it stop and look up to Sammy. "So time would be like going forward and backwards right?" He nods yes. "So I'm not doing that one, not until I feel okay with my powers." He smiles at me "I knew you would figure this out yourself!" Next is mind. Without saying anything I concentrate on sending an image to Sammy in his head. I think of my favorite photo of us, the one where we are covered in paint and feathers. A pillow fight gone wrong or right, if you ask the right person. Sammy's face lights up and he shoots me a sad smile. "I have no idea how to do dark or light magic though."

Sammy shakes his head and stops me from starting a ramble. "You won't learn that until you need it. Just trust me, your grimoire will have everything you need and if it doesn't, the pack will. Speaking of the pack, go see Leah and them. Let them apologize okay? Y'all were so young and you've punished them enough." I sigh and nod my head yes. "Okay okay. I will do that right after I see Rissa and the Cullens but I refuse to be nice to Billy.. and Jacob." He grins while shaking his head but his smile quickly fades. "It's time Lana. You have to go back ok?" My eyes fill with tears as he crosses the room. He pulls me into a tight hug as tears stream down my face. "I will always be with you Lils. Always. I love you so much my little amare." (Love) I grip him tighter as he places a small kiss on my head.

He leans back and tilts my head up to meet my eyes. "I need you to be strong for me okay?" I nod and sob a little louder. "Now close your eyes and think of your soulmates. Think about their arms around you and the feeling of home..." my eyes close and I feel tingly all over. The air feels like it is literally being sucked from my lungs and my head is spinning. The last thing I hear is Sammy's voice. "I love you Illiana. May we meet again."

My hearing fades and so does all the light around me. My body lifts up and turns me so I'm laying on my back. Slowly I start to feel like I'm floating down onto something. My hearing picks back up and can hear the light running of a fan. I feel the weight of a blanket over my body and a needle in my arm. I can hear multiple voices speaking but I can't pinpoint who it is or even where it's coming from. The only thing I pick up is Superno Regina.

I take a big breath and open my eyes. I see a white ceiling and hear the beeping of a machine, knowing instantly that I'm at the hospital again. I lift myself up into a sitting position and look around the room I'm in. It's full of every Cullen member, Rissa, the whole pack (I know they aren't all phased but let's pretend they are all phased minus Jared, Jacob, and Seth), the Blacks, and my father. Everyone is either spaced out or sleeping. I let a smirk make its way on my face and when I speak up, everyone stills.

"Did you miss me?"

Authors note: I know, cliffhangers suck but I wanted it to be a dramatic ending! I also wanted it to be pretty long so you get a nice backstory to the prophecy plus it shows her healing a bit. The word in this chapter is Latin but my Latin is very rusty so if it is wrong, please let me know!
