#11. The Prophecy


Thankfully we didn't have any trouble traveling a few hours ago. The first few hours of riding were rough for me since I didn't use to ride a horse, and only used to swimming and walking.

Natalie helped me get through it, and her talking about funny stories that had happened to her made me forget the pain on my backside from sitting so long.

We were near the end of the journey, getting closer to where this person lived.

The horses were starting to get tired, from trotting non-stop for the past 6 hours. So when we spotted a pond nearby, we headed towards it and got off of the horses, and let them have a break.

Both Natalie and I had named our horses.

Natalie named her's Willow and I had named mine Obsidian.

" Well, well, what do we have here?", questioned a cold and raspy voice that came from the shadows of the forest.

Natalie and I froze in shock, not expecting to have an audience on the last leg of the journey which meant someone or something had been following us the whole time!

Suddenly we had gotten an answer, it was the witch we had been looking for!

The witch came out of hiding and gave us a wink." Come on, let's go to my cabin and we will speak there".

Natalie exchanged looks before grabbing the reins of our horses and followed the witch to her cabin.

//////////////////////////////

I looked around the cabin that had these stringed beads that filled the air with a sweet almost rose-like fragrance causing my body to relax.

The cabin gave off a nature theme, from the dark grey marble walls that were made to look like they had cracks on them, kind of like a cave's wall. 

Being taken aback at how beautiful was an understatement, it was gorgeous!

" Alright, so how can I help you two wonderful little ladies?", The witch asked as she sat down on a stool close to the jars of whatever was in it on the shelf behind her.

" Can you please dig into my friend here's future? We need to find out what will happen in the span of 5 years", Natalie explained to her.

The witch's eyebrows furrowed as she thought over what Natalie was thinking.

" I can't do anything if I don't know why she needs to get this done".

Natalie looked like she was seconds away from going batshit crazy on the witch if she didn't stop asking me questions.

" I had a dream about the vampire prince Xanthous trying to feed from my neck", I mumbled loud enough for the both of them to hear.

" Ah, soy UI thy prophecy", the witch said something in a different language as she looked up at the ceiling with her eyes clouded over.

( Ah, so you are the prophecy^)

She looked back down at us her green eyes a few shades darker than before which made me really nervous.

" Oh, and before we get started my name is Cinder".

Cinder strode over to me and plucked a hair from my scalp causing me to let out a small wince at the sudden amount of pressure that she had put on me.

She then began the process of reaching into my future to find not only the prophecy but what would happen within the five years to come.

" Twisted souls, may be safe, but not much longer from the soon to be demon king he ( Prince Xanthous)

A pricked finger leading to chaos

Forcing others to leave their homes

Creatures of the night fueling bloodshed

And a burning shall come

Out with the old rules and boundaries and into thy new

For out with the world and into the dark times

if she doesn't stop evil from taking over thy demon king he", Cinda recited from what she was seeing with her witch abilities.

But what did that mean?
