Homepage/CURSE OF THE GODDESS./
Chapter Twenty Eight.
( Luna's Pov)
The fight between good and evil is finite. There's no end. There's only a beginning and the beginning tells if there'll be an end.
The reason and beginning of this fight, I do not know. I was confused at first but now I could see where this all was going.
Rhea was creating an army, what she calls her generation. And that army was going to bring chaos to the balance which will lead to the destruction of all astralians. I don't know if Rhea knows this or if she was just blinded to see that the world she was fighting for will cease to exist.
We were still in that lab, Rhea was walking around, doing some dark spells on the incubators. I had no idea what that was about but it had to be something to boost their growth, which was not a good thing.
"Are you okay?" I was startled, I almost forgot Shelby was also here, who was I kidding, someone must always be with me, Incase I tried to escape. Yeah, in a realm I knew nothing about.
"Mm" was the brief answer I gave Shelby, who would be okay here.
" You don't have to sugar coat it, I know you must be feeling terrible now, that wasn't so pleasant"
What did she mean by that?
" You're not like her Shelby, why are you with her here," I asked, turning to look at her and she took a step back.
" There's always hope for those who do not see it, they just don't see it that's why they think it's not there," Shelby worded,
" If there doesn't see it, then maybe we shouldn't try so hard to make them see it," I complained
" No Luna, I know that's not how you see it, wouldn't it be beautiful if we all saw that hope, Cat sees that hope but she sees it her, the queen, I can't leave my sister," Shelby said grimly,
"You do know that what she's doing is not right, right?"
" I know, but we owe her our lives, she is Cat's hero, as you may know, we are not astralians, we are humans, our parents kicked us out when we were twelve, more like they abandoned us, we lived on the streets, if was not that bad, until I was raped, Cat couldn't live with herself after that happened to me, she tried so many times to kill the man who did that but was beaten up instead, too many times that could barely survive, then one day Rhea saved her and killed those men, Cat wanted to go with her, even after knowing she was not human, she still wanted to go with her, I had to follow, I couldn't leave Cat alone," her eyes were already filled with unshed tears, she wiped it away and returned to her poker face,
" She doing something bigger, no one knows about it, even Cat didn't know, Master Kim almost found out but she killed him, he was the one who came to visit you on your first day here, he suspected that the reason Rhea brought you here wasn't just for your blood but for your connection with the source,"
Shelby added,
" My connection with the source?" I said rhetorically,
" Yes Luna, You're connected to the source," Rhea's voice came behind me.
I took a turn and saw she had mischievous look again on her face.
" Thanks, Shelby, you gave her a nice pep talk, you'll get a reward," I knew Shelby was already trembling although her poker face, before I could say anything, I heard choking sounds coming from Shelby and I turned to see in pain on her knees with her hands on her neck, her eyes were red and inflamed, Rhea doesn't know when to stop.
" Stop hurting her!" I called out to Rhea,
" I'm not gonna kill her, relax Luna, you see I have a rule for my minions and that is they don't associate with my guest, she should've known better," she deadpanned.
I didn't like the way this was going, she could kill Shelby just like she did with Kim. Shelby might not be that expressive but I know she was trying to be a friend. I wasn't going to stand and watch her get hurt or worst killed.
" STOP!!!!" I shouted and I said that Rhea's eyes snapped to me as she glared and looked at me... Surprise.
Why?
I looked at Shelby who was no longer choking but was now weak and too tired to even stand up.
And I knew why.
Was I the one who did that?
" What did you just do?" Rhea asked with rage, eyes flaming with hate and anger.
I took two steps backward, shocked at my act, I didn't understand what just happened.
Rhea changed from a raging dog to a calm dove in two seconds as she suddenly smiled and walked towards me, caressing my cheek.
" It worked," was what she said,
" What... What are you talking about," I inquired with a shaking voice that was nothing like me.
" Just wait and see more Luna, I'm making progress, good progress," she concurred and started laughing hysterically.
Suddenly we heard commotions and the ground beneath us shock, as we heard the growls and snarls that belongs to a very large animal, like a dragon.
" They are here!!" Rhea exclaimed like a child who just received a present from Santa.
" Rhea please don't hurt them, I'll do anything you want," I plead,
" See that's the thing honey, you won't do anything I want except I have them and the wood goddess," she explained.
Wait
The wood goddess?
What is she planning to do?
" Don't think too much on it, for now, take a rest, Shelby take her back to the glass, and don't of betraying me," she was walked past us and then stopped " in fact why don't you two stay where I'm sure you won't try anything funny."
She vanished on spot and immediately I felt a heavier weight of force field on the barrier in the room hindering us from teleporting. I ran to the door in which we came through, I banged on it, jerking it hard but it didn't bunch.
" It will never open, every door here operates on Rhea's blood, only her can unlock it," Shelby said,
I sobbed, letting the tears flow down already,
" She can't do this," I said
" Watch her." That was all Shelby responded with and I dropped to my knees and wept.
......
Crying now 😭😭
