“Baby, are you okay?” Mason rushed out.
“What the hell just happened?” I whispered.
“You are an elemental witch. I’ve never seen one and the only one I’ve ever heard of was about three hundred years ago. It was during the Great War. Hybrids are nothing new. During the war, it was pure blood vs hybrids. The hybrids lost because they just didn’t have the numbers. That’s when our kingdoms separated and hybrids outlawed.” Liz explained.
“And why haven’t we learned this?” I asked her and she sighed.
“Memory spell. Only royalty has access to the actual documents of those events.” She answered.
Pulling away from Derek and Mason, I headed toward the house. This was all too much. I think I’ve done enough and risked enough. And now they want me to continue to fight. And fighting for people who had threatened my son. Nope. They could kill each other.
“Babygirl, where are you going?” Derek called out.
“Home, to our son. I’m not doing this again. I’ve lost too much to keep fighting. If they want to kill themselves, then let them.” I told them before I continued to walk back.
“Baby, I know you’re upset. I can feel it, but I think you should listen to Liz. This magic can help you protect James and yourself.” Mason said, running up beside me. I stopped to look at him before I sighed.
“I can’t lose anymore. This is just too much for one person to deal with. What’s next, you or Derek or both of you? I can not and will not live without both of you.” I told him. He stepped towards me, wrapping me in his arms.
“And you will never have too, Baby. But this can help you protect James. I don’t want to force you to do anything you don’t want to do, but I think you should at least consider it.” He said.
“Mason, I need time to process all of this.” I said, pulling away.
“Prince Derek, blow out some fire breath.” Liz asked him and I looked at her.
“What are you doing?” I asked her.
“I’m showing you what you can do. I know you may not want this, but you have to do something. Our world will not survive another war like that one. They will kill our kind off. Do you want your son to grow up in a world full of destruction and chaos?” She asked me and I sighed. I looked at Derek and nodded to him.
Mason stepped away from me. And when everyone was safe, Derek let Magnus blow out his fire. The ball of heat and light consumed me, but I focused my magic on controlling how it moved around me. It didn’t take long before the flames were dancing. I threw my arms out, forcing the flames into the lake, where they sizzled before dying out.
Before the water had stopped sizzling, I was already walking back to the house again. If it’s not one thing, it’s another and I’m over it. I made it up to our room. First, I checked on James and then I went to run myself a bath.
I turned the water on and then checked myself in the mirror above the sink. I screamed out, looking at myself. My eyes were no longer green, deep purple ones were now staring back at me. What the hell is happening to me?
Derek and Mason rushed into the room. They must have heard me scream.
“Baby?” Mason called out from the bedroom.
“I’m in here.” I said, opening the door to the bathroom. They both made it into the bathroom while I shut off the water.
“Babygirl, what’s wrong? We heard you scream.” Derek rushed out, coming over to me.
“My eyes. They are purple.” I told them and they both looked at each other.
“What?” I asked them.
“The magic has consumed you. That’s what Liz explained, anyway. Most witches have green magic, good magic. When it’s tainted, it’s red, but once it consumes the user, their eyes will turn red. Your magic is apparently ancient magic, and once you’ve unlocked it, it consumes you. That’s what they think, anyway. No one really knows for sure,” Derek explained. And my head hurts.
“Can both of you watch James while I take a bath? I just need time for myself right now.” I asked them.
“Of course babygirl.” Derek said, pecking my lips.
“We’ll be downstairs if you need us.” Mason came over and gave me a kiss before they both left me to my raging thoughts.
I stripped down and stepped into the tub, enjoying the feel of the warmth as my body sunk below the hot water. It’s in moments like these that I really miss Tundra. I could trust her, but now I have to trust that I’m making the right decisions.
I laid my head back on the edge of the tub, trying to relax my overloaded mind. This seems like so much information and I still had so many questions about being a witch that I haven’t even asked yet. I know so little about myself now. Before, I at least had Tundra to explain things to me, but now I have to figure this out all by myself.
I sunk lower into the water, trying to drown my frustrations. My nose and above were the only parts of me out of the water. I knew what the right thing to do was, but why do I have to be the one to do it?
“What the fuck am I supposed to do?” I whispered into the water.
“Come find me.” A voice echoed. I screamed and jumped out of the tub, backing up, until my back hit the bathroom wall.
My arms curled around my legs as I sat staring at the tub when Mason and Derek stormed in. They were instantly on alert as they rushed over to me.
“Baby, what happened?” Mason asked, kneeling beside me.
“I heard a voice,” I whispered, resting my cheek on my knee. One of them placed a towel over me and both of them sat down on either side of me.
“You heard a voice?” Mason asked, and I nodded.
“Was it a scary voice?” Derek asked.
“It told me to come find them.” I mumbled on my knee.
“Are you sure you hear someone? You’ve been under a lot of stress and you’ve gone through something traumatic,” Mason asked, wrapping his arm around me.
“I asked the water what I was supposed to do. And the voice answered. I’m not crazy and I know what I heard.” I told them while I sat up.
“We never said you were,” Derek said defensively. But maybe I was crazy, and the voice was all in my head, but I wouldn’t know for sure unless I figured this shit out.
I wrapped the towel around me as I walked into the bedroom to get dressed. My mates were on my heels as I walked into the closet.
“Baby, are you sure about this? You can just sleep on it and we can always go tomorrow.” Mason asked me, leaning against the door frame.
“Mason, this needs to end. I can’t keep living like this. I have so much to do and learn, and it’s driving me crazy.” Pulling on a pair of jeans, I told him.
“What do you think you need to do?” Derek asked me. He was standing beside Mason.
“First, why the hell didn’t you tell me about the threats?” I scolded them.
“We didn’t want to worry you,” Mason sighed.
“That’s not fair. I need to know these things. Second, I need to clean up the mess I made from killing Theo. Then I’ll need to make my rounds of all the kingdoms. If this is really a pure blood vs hybrids, then I need to make people see hybrids are nothing to fear. And I still haven’t seen the dragon kingdom and I’m supposed to be their queen. What kind of queen doesn’t meet her people?” I rambled.
“Okay, we get it.” Mason stopped me from rambling on further.
“Babygirl, everyone else can wait until you are feeling better. There is no rush.” Derek sighed, and I shook my head.
“There is a rush. The longer we wait, the stronger the hate and misunderstanding will grow. So, I’m going to the council building and then tomorrow we are heading to the dragon kingdom.” I told them. I moved past them after I pulled on a hoodie.
“Okay, fine, but you have to stay with the warriors or us at all times. And James never leaves you.” Derek finally said.
“Derek, I know this is hard, and I’m even scared. If anything happened to James, nothing could stop me from burning all the kingdoms to the ground. But right now, we need to think about the people, our people. They need to trust us. And they don’t know me. I’m just some random girl claiming to be their queen.” I explained.
“Babygirl, you are their queen because you are my queen. And I trust you with my life.” Derek said, wrapping me in his arms.
