Chapter 56: the past
Celeste's pov****
I haven't seen Seira for three days now, she hasn't been out of her room and it's driving me insane.
"Seira! Come on sis what did that bastard say to you! It's been three days and you haven't stepped out of your room! You're going to rot in there alone please at least talk to me! Don't be such a sour puss!" I knocked again but still no matter how much I knocked there was no response. I saw Vaati walk down the hallway along with dark and I glared.
This bastard will hear me just you fucking wait....
I left the spot from in front of Seira's door and walked straight towards them. Making sure I punched Vaati square in the damned jaw.
"Celeste!!" Darks eyes widened as Vaati staggered back taken a bit by surprise. "THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TO MY SISTER YOU BASTARD?! THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO HER?!" He glared at me, his crimson red orbs piercing right through me filled with an indignant rage, "why don't you go ask her?"
"SHE WONT FUCKING LEAVE HER ROOM MUCH LESS ANSWER ME YOU MAGGOT!" I felt dark grab me and try to calm me down but that only made things worse. Again I felt my anger spike and a tickling sensation crawl on the skin of my hands, as if flames were dancing and licking my fingers. But when I quickly looked at my hands I saw nothing, yet the feeling was still there.
"How is that my fault? I'm not responsible for your joke of a sister!" Again I felt my arm move in an attempt to punch him only for Vaati do the same and try to back hand me. Dark quickly pulled me back and grabbed Vaati's hand angrily, "you would hit Celeste?! In front of me and in the state she's in you would dare HURT MY WOMAN IN FRONT OF ME?!"
Holy shit...
Vaati tried to hit me...
Vaati tried to hit a pregnant woman...
Holy fuck... If he has the balls to hit a pregnant woman who knows what he- wait.. There, in his eyes you could see a flicker, something I hadn't noticed before. Something they had always taught me back at the academy is that the eyes reveal a lot about people. And his eyes were telling me ignorance.
He doesn't know.
This Vaati doesn't know I'm pregnant.
Vaati glared and pulled his hand free from darks grasp, "then tell your woman to behave, also to return what's not hers. Where's the book she and her sister took?!"
I glared, "what are you talking about? It's not my job I'm not your librarian you stupid minish! Come on dark I got better things to do!" Like kill you... You are not my sisters Vaati and I'm going to get to the bottom of this...
I grabbed darks hand and led him to our room and then (after locking the room and earning various weird looks from said demon) brought the book out from the hiding spot. Dark groaned, "Celeste why did you take-"
"That's not Vaati."
Dark stared at me, like he just stared as if I had just said the most stupidest thing on earth. Wait, are we even still on earth?? "What do you mean that's not Vaati? Of course that's Vaati he's just got anger issues-"
"Dark he tried to hit me. The Vaati we know would never lay hands on a pregnant woman much less me."
He chuckled, "wouldn't it be the other way around sweetheart?" I glared and hit his arm playfully, "that's beside the point you moron! Plus I'm his beloved baby sister everyone loves me and no one would hit me-" he began coughing and then saying the word "vain" between every cough, which let me tell you, only earned him a few slaps here and there. "Dark I'm being serious! That's not Vaati! That's an imposter and he wants this book for whatever reason and if he wants this book then this book has something to do with my family don't you think??" Dark shrugged, "dunno, maybe. Have you tried opening it?"
I opened my mouth to say something but the quickly closed it. To be honest no. No I haven't opened it. Why?
Voices.
That's fucking why.
The book fucking sings. Well it doesn't sing... It more like chants... I don't know it's like hard to explain... But it's eerie and it makes my skin shiver which is why it was in a pouch inside a chest inside the very end of the wardrobe. I can't stand the sound. It's too beautiful and it makes me want to sing along with it as well as burn and destroy everything around me and I don't like it. Where are your headphones and iPod when you need them -_-...
"Then I guess you should open it Celeste." Dark chuckled almost going into a fit of laughter. I glared back at him but then nodded, slowly opening the book, feeling a slight burning sensation in my hip, in the are where my birthmark is placed. The writing seemed to change to a black metallic ink, and the drawings seemed to become more darker, but the chanting didn't stop, it just became quiet murmurs and whispers. "Fuck me..." Someone kill me right fucking now...
Dark whistled, "I'd gladly do the honor sweetheart but... One we don't know if that's safe for the baby and two... I think this book may just be what we're looking for to beat Roxanne.. For good."
Again...
Fuck me...
Anna's pov*****
Impas laughter died down to a worried look as she placed down her fork and knife down, "Anna are you alright? You haven't eaten anything at all." I snapped out of my trance like daze and nodded, "fine don't worry bout me.." To be honest I was exhausted. I haven't had a good nights sleep since my last trip to the underworld and I'm a mess. I have massive bags under my eyes and they're driving me insane and I wish I at least had some type of concealer so I could at least look decent for sheik and conserve whatever bit of dignity I had left..
Or at least some sleep...
I felt Aaron growl in a purr like motion in the back of my mind and I relaxed the grip I had on my fork. I sighed, "not hungry.. Excuse me." And with that I left them alone, plate barely touched, and knowing damn well at least one of the sheikah will bombard me with questions about my wellbeing when I get back. Heaven forbid impa finds out about our little "misfortune" and starts making jokes about morning sickness. I arrived to a clearing, clear from any trees, large and roomy enough For Aaron to comfortably lay and stretch out his wings as much as he pleased. Beautiful under the night sky as the wind blew making the long grassy ocean flow like green waves, but my favorite spot was the small little hill top that resembled scales on the grass, like a little island on the vast green ocean. I sat on the boulder and sighed, tossing nearby pebbles.
"You're troubled child. Is it the nightmares that plague you?"
I felt him lay around me and I decided to move and make myself comfortable in the crook of his left foreleg, "I guess you could say that.. Neferret's not going easy on me.. Wont even let me sleep with these stupid nightmares.." There was a long pause when I decided to talk again, "you said you waited centuries for me. How's that possible if I'm only 23?" This caught the dragons attention, he turned to look at me and stared.
"You know who and what your parents are am I correct?"
I nodded.
"What makes you think your parents were going to wait eons, ages, to have a child? Do you think your parents would have waited after the mythological era to have their first born child? Ireh child your soul is old but your body and memories new."
I frowned, "you mean I'm some sort of reincarnation?" He nodded. "How come I don't remember anything then? I thought people were supposed to remember things from their past lives! This doesn't make sense! Is that the same for my sisters?" Aaron chuckled, "yes child you and your sisters were still siblings in your past life. Everything was the same but with one difference child. You were not mortal."
I cringed at him mentioning the fact of my dad being hades and me being a goddess (would I be a semi goddess if my mom isn't a goddess? Or is she a goddess??). Aaron laughed at the sight of me cringing, "it was quite amusing actually. To see you as a little young hatchling running behind Apollo with Hera's beloved peacocks chasing soon after. And then grown into the beautiful young goddess no one on earth had known about because the lord of the underworld was too greedy to share his beloved daughter with. Ah yes I remember those times. And In case you were wondering no your name had not changed."
"But why can't I remember?" And how did I die? I froze completely. Did I really want to know that? I was immortal back then and I died, did I really want to know what killed me or how I died? Did I really want to ask that?
"There are things the lord of the underworld wished for his girls to not remember. So when your mother took human form to have you a second time, he gave her water to drink from the river Lethe during her nine months so that you would be born without memories from your past life. The same goes for your sisters." I nodded understanding what he was saying. All this was so damn confusing. We continued talking about this for a bit more until I felt my eyes get heavy and eventually drift off to sleep.
Sheik's pov****
It's about three in the morning and Anna still isn't back. That woman will end up giving me gray hairs.. She's probably with the dragon...
I sighed and made my way out of the tent. Not too far from it though I was met with a girl, she looked to be about a child, around 9 or 11 long blond hair, violet eyes and pale porcelain skin. She was wearing a long black dress and was holding a small wooden black box, and her smile seemed to hold a cynical hint to it. " want to know what's in my box?" I frowned, which only caused her to laugh and disappear.
I shook my head and walked towards the place where Aaron and Anna are usually at and found Anna fast asleep in Aaron's foreleg. I sighed, "what am I going to do with her..."
"You can always tie her up to the bed. A bit kinky but-"
I cringed, "for the love of nayru...I thought dragons were pure..."
Aaron laughed, "how many dragons have you met shadow warrior?"
I rolled my eyes at him and picked her up, careful not to wake her up.
"Murder." I froze in place, Anna began to snuggle up sleepily to me, her face resting right in the crook of my neck. "What?" He walked in front of me and then stared. "She had a past life, and had caught the eye of a dangerous man. At that time though that man had a lover and she did not like to share. Though Anna was not aware of this man's obsession, the lover had become jealous and with a golden apple murder sprouted. Her sisters may have Roxanne after their skin but Anna has another enemy from the era of myth, And you might just have one yourself."
I groaned, "thanks, anything else I should know?" He snapped his jaw at me and growled, "don't just shrug off what I'm telling you. You are also on someone's hit list don't take what I'm telling you lightly.." I nodded and began walking towards the camp, but then stopped, "who killed her?"
"The one who's born from the sea.."
I looked back at the troublemaker in my arms and sighed. Once back I had placed her in our bed (right side there's no way I'm giving up my side of the bed) and began to get ready for bed myself. I looked at her sleeping peacefully and chuckled, it's typical of her to cause mischief in her previous life. But to do that by making the poor soul fall in love with her to the point on cheating on his lover? Come on Anna is not that beautiful.
Might as well bite my tongue while I'm at it.. I swear I'm such a hypocrite at times..
While I was changing I saw something peek from underneath the bags and noticed that Anna had brought her drawings with her. And well, curiosity getting the best of me I decided to take a small look. There were drawings of cremia and Romani, link, epona, impa and zelda, I was even impressed to see one of me without my cowl on. There was also one of a man whom I didn't recognize, a frown working its way on my face as I realized who it could only be. Short hair and looks to be about our age, my only guess is he's Jeremy. My frown now a complete scowl I decided to move on to the next drawing which caught me completely by surprise.
A middle aged sheikah woman and a young sheikah girl.
And I knew exactly who they were..
"Mother.. Rhea.."
