Choice

Prologue

It was a cool, calming breeze that had danced around my bare legs and revealed arms. I was wearing a dress made of an insanely soft, white fabric. The spaghetti straps held up the low v-neck, hip hugging dress, which stopped mid-thigh. I shivered, the breeze created goose bumps along my pale skin. Hugging myself for warmth I took in my surroundings, the field I was standing in was beautiful. The strong but old castle beside me was magnificent, it reminded me of something out of a fairy tale, but this one was a story that had become long forgotten.

Suddenly the air in front of me seemed to twist into something like a mirror. Once the waves of wind settled I reach out, trying to touch the oddity that had showed itself to me. It was cool to the touch and translucent yet, just beyond the now solid air I saw her, the girl I had been seeing for the past week and a half. She was thinking to herself, but suddenly she began to sprint. She ran straight for a maze of some sort. As the mirror followed her I began to wonder why I was seeing this vision in a different manor. Normally when I saw them, I saw them as if I was a spirit, looking over the gifted fledging.

This time I was watching her, but I couldn't see myself. It was as if I was actually physically standing in the field watching the girl through the mirror, as I would watch a film.

Then I saw him, the most gorgeous man I had ever seen, the one with the black wings, and the one that she was now running towards. He was holding the human boy she had imprinted with. One second the human was alive, the next his neck was snapped and he was a twig. The boy's body lay there on the ground, lifeless. The dark angel had taken a life without hesitation, as he had done many times before. That's when it happened. She through the element I was so close to, Spirit, at the winged man and shattered her own soul.

I placed my hand over my mouth, trying to keep myself from crying out to her, yet I found my empty hand reach forward, gently touching the mirror. I heard her friends yelling her name as they wept for their last hope at saving the world. Their friend.

I couldn't watch anymore, how could I just stand and watch as people were suffering? Why would Nyx choose to show me this?

"Because I am going to give you a choice," the smooth elegant voice startled me, while answering my thoughts. I turned to seek out the source of the voice to find the Goddess herself. She was wearing an elegant, simple black silk dress that resembled the white one I was currently wearing. "This scene has not yet happened, but it will…"

"Why would you give me this gift?" I questioned the immortal in front of me.

"Because I wish for you to save Zoey Redbird, I wish for you to help me correct the evil in my warrior's heart, and I wish for you to choose your happiness, or the worlds." The words coming from Nyx's mouth made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, but in good way, not the 'I'm seriously creeped out' way.

"How can I do that? She isn't even in Canada, I'M not even a vampire yet, and I wouldn't even know what to do."

When Nyx smiled, I could literally see the air around her brighten, "I have bestowed upon you a gift, the gift of Spirit, but more. It is through this gift that you will be able to heal Zoey's Soul, and free Kalona's. But first you must choose to throw everything away."

I thought about what my Goddess was telling me and then I smiled. I thought of the new life I would have to let go. The relatively normal life, the one where I was loved, and the one with him, "can I simply choose to help stop the bird man from killing the human?"

Nyx's smile began to fade and then she walked over to me, "my fledging you are not ready for what it is that I am about to give you, but there is someone that will help you, and when you make your choice, it will be one that no one will want to make," Nyx reached forward and placed her right hand on the side of my head, then she placed her left hand on the other side of my head, holding it in her hands, gently, while staring into my forest green eyes.

I could feel the tears escape from my eyes and drip down my cheeks, "Nyx, Goddess, I am NOT the fledging that you want, you have mistaken me for someone with the power to save the world. I have only been a fledging for a couple weeks, I can't even sleep through the day yet," right then and there is when I saw the sadness in the great goddess's eyes, the agony that consumed her, the pleading she was showing me. It was there that I saw the immortal as a simple human.

"You must believe in the power that you possess, and in the faith I have in you Lilith Forest," and with that Nyx leaned over and placed a gentle kiss over the crescent moon on my forehead.

Instantly I felt a tingling sensation spread outward from the moon, it reached across to my temples, and down the sides of my face, stopping at my cheekbones. Then I felt it, the feeling that I was not ready to receive, as I began to drop from her touch the Goddess began to fade along with my surroundings…

My eyes shot open and I knew what was happening, the Goddess had decided to make me a vampire, no longer a fledgling. I can't remember much, but I remember screaming. Then I was being carried to the infirmary, my school's High Priestess, Aire, was carrying me, her long blond hair fell over my face. In the corner of my eye I saw him, he was tall and thin, no he was lean. His long black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and his eyes were as dark as a shadow at night.

I looked back at my Priestess, I tried to explain to her the dream I had just had, but I couldn't bring myself to speak. Shadows crept across my vision, only allowing me to see the worried look on Aire's face before I blacked out completely.
