A/N: Okay! So, just thought that you should know, this story idea came to me because of a POINTER. Let me explain, my sister and I were at a friend's conformation, bored out of our minds. My sister ( iloveanime9251) was falling asleep on my shoulder and I decided to try to find something to entertain her. As I rummaged through my purse, I found a pointer hidden at the very bottom. (Never question a girl's purse) so, I started to play around with it. At first I told her it was a conductor's baton. Then, it was a ninja's sword. Finally, I said it was a wand. Next thing I knew, I had a friggen epiphany. Pictures of the story just ran through my head like plot bunnies on crack. I told my sister and then we were just throwing out ideas back and forth. Unfortunately, this was still during the conformation so our parents weren't too thrilled. They lectured us after the conformation was over, but it was worth it! So, here's the story we came up with! Warning, this story is my first M so giving me tips (if you want to) will be greatly appreciated! I've never written anything... Erm... Citrusy. So... Yeah. Please be kind when the M stuff comes along. Anyways, sorry for rambling I just thought this story was worth rambling about. Besides, the voices in my head agree with me... *cough* on with the story!
Disclaimer: Me owns? No... *pout* if I did Klainbows would have been born the moment Blaine friggen laid eyes on Kurt. No lie. Their fateful meeting would have gone something like this in my eyes:
Kurt: Hi my name's Kurt I'm new here.
Blaine: ... *glomps and kisses* Marry me!
So yeah... I don't own anything. Only the idea.
Prologue
Oracles, human beings that are bestowed with the great power and ability to communicate with deities. Many powerful oracles can have the abilities to be able to have goddesses transcend into them, but only for short periods of time. Usually only in times when their powers are greatly needed.
However, there was one oracle that was unlike the others. While the others were humans who could communicate with goddesses, this special oracle was actually a goddess who transcended into human form.
She was revered and loved by all, but due to the great power she possessed, her identity was kept hidden from the masses. Only other oracles and priestess knew the true identity of the oracle goddess.
It was said that she was breathtakingly beautiful, infinitely powerful, and had a voice that could cause women to weep and leave men breathless. Because she was said to be powerful, many wanted to use her for their own selfish purposes.
Soon, a great war broke out between those who wanted to steal the great power and those who vowed to protect it. Other magical beings such as wizards, witches, warlocks, etc joined this war, and each chose a side, making this the greatest war of all time, a war between good and evil.
The war was long and bloody, because of this, many magical creatures became extinct. Humans were also killed, but most went into hiding due to the fact that they could not stand up to such strong magical beings.
At the tail-end of the war, when the evil forces were about to raid the oracle goddess' sanctuary, the oracle goddess' most trusted friend, who was a powerful oracle herself, assisted in her escape. When the evil forces entered the sanctuary, she was nowhere to be found.
"Quickly goddess, we must escape!"
"Please Allegra; you may call me by my given name."
"Of course Cathleen, please forgive me."
"There is nothing that requires forgiveness, but you are right. We must escape; I feel the evil drawing closer as the seconds pass."
"There is a secret passage below that we have prepared. Quickly, follow me and I promise to get you away safely."
The two of them proceeded rapidly through a variety of hidden tunnels until they came across an opening.
"Here we are Cathleen. I know I cannot protect you for long, seeing as how I am merely human, but I shall guard you for as long as I possibly can."
"I understand Allegra, and I am truly thankful for your courageous acts to assist me. So, if you wish, I will give you life that will last as long as my own. However, once you meet your true love, you will age once more."
Allegra smiled and bowed her head. "It would be an honor to be able to live along side you."
Cathleen raised her hand, which was now glowing a light blue, and placed it above Allegra's head. Cathleen closed her eyes and Allegra followed suit, still bowing.
"Power of the sky, strength of the earth, grant Allegra the power of Longevity. Until the day her true love is found."
The glowing blue light now flew into Allegra and slowly faded within her. Allegra lifted her head and smiled.
"Thank you Cathleen, I promise I will not fail you."
And so, the two of them went into hiding and disappeared where no one could find them. The evil forces searched for many generations without avail.
As the centuries passed, the war was forgotten and disappeared from history. It was soon thought to be a myth and as many more magical creatures died, they too were soon considered myths. The few surviving magical creatures hid and blended into human society.
As time passed, the human race expanded and flourished. Advances in science, medicine, and technology soon created the world that we know today. However, it is said that the two oracles are still alive and there is a cult that still searches for them.
The bell chimed and many cheers erupted from the people on the television. The two women watching the television hugged each other, laughing and smiling brightly.
"Happy New Year Cathleen, or should I stick with Elizabeth?"
Cathleen smiled. "It's fine Allegra, no one else is here. Only in public do you need to address me as Elizabeth and yourself as Barbra."
"I still can't believe that it's already 1988!"
"I know what you mean. It's already been nearly 2,000 years since the great war."
Allegra flipped her long black hair and stood in a pose. "We look fantastic for our age!"
Cathleen put her hands on her hips and smirked. "No one would even think to believe that we are thousands of years old."
"Yeah. As time passed it sure was a pain to change our way of speaking into the modern speech."
Cathleen scoffed and waved her hand dismissively. "Speech was simple! The main thing was the constant changes in fashion! Every year there was something new! I won't complain though seeing as how I don't have to wear those atrocious long white robes anymore."
Allegra laughed. "Cathleen. You look good in anything! That's why it was so easy for you to get a job as a magazine model."
"True but, I only allow them to take pictures of the clothes and not my actual face since we still need to stay low."
Allegra jump hugged Cathleen and the two of them burst into laughter once more. "Well, let's go out and enjoy the night. It's lovely!"
Cathleen looked at the clock and then back at Allegra. "It's almost 12:20am. Do you really think we should go out?"
Allegra nodded immediately. "Oh come on! It's New Years! Everyone's out celebrating. No one would really notice us."
Cathleen bit her bottom lip in thought before sighing. "Alright alright, you win. Let's go out."
Allegra beamed and tugged Cathleen out, making sure to grab their coats on their way.
"Allegra, if you walk any faster you're bound to hit someone!" Cathleen said in exasperation.
Allegra turned to say a snide remark, but was cut off when she bumped into someone, falling down and landing on her butt. Cathleen then proceeded to laugh loudly, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
Before either of the two could say anything, the man Allegra bumped into spoke. "Oh my gosh! I'm really sorry! I wasn't paying attention at all! Please let me help you up!"
He offered his hand to Allegra and with a quick thank you she took it and he helped her up.
Allegra looked into the man's eyes and stood there awestruck. The man had Hazel eyes and curly brown hair. As Allegra admired the man, he was also captivated by her chocolate brown eyes and long black hair.
"Hi there." The man finally said after a moment. "My name is Christopher, but you can call me Chris."
Allegra remained transfixed. "My name's Ale- Erm... Barbra."
Cathleen looked between the two and smiled. "Barbra, I'm going to go back home. Why don't you spend some time with Christopher and share a drink?"
Christopher finally tore his eyes away from Allegra to look at Cathleen. "I'm sorry; I seem to have forgotten my manners. You are?"
"My name's Elizabeth. I'm Barbra's friend." they shook hands and then Cathleen backed away a little. "Well, I'll be off. Have fun you two."
Allegra and Christopher had fallen in love with one another almost instantly and after 6 months he proposed to her. It was clear that they were soul mates, but Allegra couldn't marry him until she was sure. The only way to test it was to reveal their secret.
With Cathleen's permission, she told Christopher who they truly were. When she finished explaining she didn't expect to see him smiling at her and hugging her tightly. He told her that he still loved her and it didn't matter to him. He himself was a wizard, but a failure. He only knew the simplest of spells and was cast away by his parents to live alongside human beings since he was far too weak to live with magical beings.
With this newfound information she agreed to marry him and they were to be wed in the winter time.
"Oh my god Cathleen, I'm so excited and nervous at the same time!"
Cathleen was doing the final touches on Allegra's hair before handing Allegra her flowers.
"There's no need to feel nervous. This wedding will be perfect!"
Allegra grabbed Cathleen's hand and smiled. "I'm really glad you agreed to be my maid of honor and to give me away."
"You're like family to me Allegra and I'm just glad that Chris makes you happy."
The two of them smiled at one another and then the music began as the doors opened.
Once the vows were given and the ceremony ended, Allegra took Cathleen's hand as Chris pulled his best man with him.
"Elizabeth, I want to introduce you to my best man. We've been the best of friends since high school." Chris then quickly whispered in her ear "Not to mention, he also knows that I'm a wizard even though he's human, but I didn't tell him about you two. It's your secret to tell."
"Thanks Chris." She whispered back.
When Cathleen looked at Chris' friend she was captivated by him. He had dark brown eyes and wispy brown hair. He looked at Cathleen, admiring her glasz eyes and chestnut brown hair. He held out his hand and smiled. "It's nice to meet you. My name's Burt."
It wasn't long before Cathleen and Burt fell in love with one another but when he proposed to her she explained that no matter how much she loved him, she couldn't marry. When Burt asked why she explained. When she finished her story his reaction was similar to Chris'. He said he loved her and even if he was only human he still wanted to at least be together for as long as possible. He respected her wishes and although the two of them were not married they still stayed together. On September 5th, 1993 Allegra and Chris had a baby.
"Oh Allegra! What a wonderful baby boy! He's the perfect mix of you both!"
The baby giggled and held onto Cathleen's finger as Allegra held him.
"Is it true that Chris fainted in the delivery room?" Cathleen asked with a chuckle.
Allegra laughed and nodded. "He's outside right now trying to recover as we speak. Honestly, he shouldn't be complaining. He didn't have to squeeze something the size of a watermelon out of something the size of a lemon!"
As the two of them were laughing Burt walked into the room. When Cathleen saw him she put on her best puppy face and walked to him. "Oh Burt, can we have one of our own?"
"One of our own what to be exact?" Burt asked wearily.
"Why, A child of our own of course!"
Burt looked completely shell-shocked. "You want to have a kid?"
She huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. "Of course I do! Every woman wants a child!"
"Yeah, but you're not like most women are you?" He countered.
She slapped his arm playfully. "Oh shush you! I still want a child! We could maybe even name her after me! Elizabeth is a pretty name after all!"
"What makes you so sure that the kid'll be a girl?"
"Well..." She began. She looked around the room to make sure no one else was near before continuing. "Goddesses can only give birth to other goddesses. It's simply unheard of for a male to be born from a goddess. It would have to be a miracle for the child to be a boy."
Burt smiled and held her close. "Well, you never know."
On March 20th, 1995 a miracle did happen. Cathleen gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.
"Oh he's just so cute!" Allegra said cheerfully.
"Yes he is." Cathleen agreed. "This feels a little like Déjà Vu huh?"
Allegra nodded. "Yeah, but I believe the rolls were switched around." She said with a laugh.
Allegra looked into the baby's Glasz eyes and smiled. "He has your eyes." She commented.
"Yes. Now, what should I name him? I really did want to name my baby Elizabeth..."
Allegra shrugged. "Just make Elizabeth his middle name then."
Cathleen thought about it for a moment. "Alright... Then what do I name him?"
Allegra jumped up and down. "Oh! Why don't you name him after that guy that you like so much from that movie sound of music?"
"Kurt Von Trapp?"
Allegra nodded and Cathleen smiled. "Perfect." Cathleen said. She looked down at her baby and held onto one of his tiny hands. "Kurt Elizabeth Hummel. Welcome to world."
The next 5 years could only be described as perfect. Burt opened up his own mechanic shop and Chris became CEO of GE. They moved to the upper town in New York and bought houses next to one another. Not to mention, the two boys were practically inseparable. You wouldn't find one without the other. Even when they were infants, they had to be in the same room or they would be intolerable. Life couldn't possibly get any better. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. None of them were exactly sure how it happened, but one day the cult discovered where the Oracle Goddess was located and were on their way. Once Cathleen sensed their impending arrival she warned the others.
"Burt, you have to leave and take Kurt with you." Cathleen said.
"But honey, we can't leave without you!"
Cathleen shook her head. "You have no choice. They want me and they don't know you so you'll be able to hide. Once they see me they'll know that I have had a child because my aura is different. However, since having a boy is unheard of, they'll assume that Kurt is a girl. It will throw them off and you will be able to hide."
As the two of them talked Kurt, who had just celebrated his 5th birthday recently, lightly tugged on the hem of Cathleen's skirt. "Mommy, what's wrong?"
Cathleen smiled sadly and picked him up. "You and Daddy have to go away without me."
Almost immediately tears sprung up in Kurt's eyes. "Why Mommy? Why can't you come with us?"
"Kurt, bad people are trying to get Mommy and I don't want them to hurt you or Daddy so you have to go so you can stay safe."
Tears were streaming down Kurt's face as he clung to Cathleen.
"What about auntie Allegra and Chris and... An..."
Kurt couldn't finish his sentence as he began to sob.
"They're going to stay here because the bad people don't know about them."
Kurt continued to sob and Cathleen held him close. "Kurt I need you to trust me. Can you do that?" She whispered.
He nodded and she walked with him still in her arms into her room. She set him down and held his hands. She knelt down so she was closer to his eye level and took a breath. "Mommy has magical powers that the bad guys want."
Kurt gasped and looked at her in awe. "You have powahs?"
Cathleen chuckled softly. "Yes and so do you, but I'm also going to give you mine so the bad guys can't take it. They are very strong but because you're my baby you'll be able to contain the power and learn how to control them. Now, do you want to have Mommy's powers?"
Kurt nodded his head vigorously. Cathleen smiled and held him close once more. "Close your eyes and don't open them until I tell you to." He did as he was told, holding her hands tightly.
"I call upon my sister Goddesses to allow me to merge my powers within my child." Her hands began to glow a light blue as she continued. "Give him all my powers to use as he wishes. Keep him safe and protect him as I no longer can."
The light blue magic flowed rapidly into Kurt's hands and he shuddered slightly, but kept his promise and didn't open his eyes.
Once all the magic flowed into him she sighed softly. "Kurt, dearest, you can open your eyes now.
He opened his eyes slowly. "You're all done?" He asked whispering.
She nodded. "It's done."
Kurt hugged her again. "Mommy... I don't want to go away without you."
Cathleen could feel tears beginning to form, but she couldn't cry. It would only make things harder.
"Don't worry. You'll be okay." She then stood up and rummaged around the room until she found what she was looking for. "Here, take this." She handed him a white wand. "This is what you'll use whenever you cast magic. It's your wand to keep and do with as you please."
Kurt took the wand and clutched it to his chest. "I promise to take care of it." He said.
She nodded. "Now, why don't you go and say goodbye to everyone. You'll be leaving tomorrow morning."
He nodded and left the room, rubbing his eyes as he did so.
When Cathleen couldn't hear Kurt's footsteps she walked out of her room. Burt stood there, looking at her sadly. "So this is why you didn't want to marry?" He asked.
She nodded. "I didn't want them to be able to track you or to find any connections that could lead them to you. This way, you both can hide and it'll be practically impossible for them to find you."
Burt nodded in understanding. Cathleen placed her hand lightly on his cheek and kissed him.
"I love you." She whispered.
He smiled softly at her. "I love you too.
A week passed since that fateful day and she stood in her family room, knowing that today was the day. The day they would come for her.
Sure enough a group of people appeared out of nowhere, their faces covered by the cloaks they all wore. "Goddess." One of them said. "There is no where you can run to."
She glared at them. "Do I look like I'm running?" She asked. "I knew you were all coming."
The same one who spoke before remained silent for a moment before saying anything. "You have had a child have you not?" The cloaked figure asked. "Where is the child and who is the father?"
She laughed. "You will never find them. They are long gone."
"It matters not." He said. "We have you now." When he grabbed her arm he pulled away in shock.
"You! You have no powers! That must mean that you've transferred them!"
"That's right." She said. "I have given them to my child. My child deserves them and you, all of you, will never find them."
"Either you tell us where that child is or we will simply kill you. Without your powers you cannot defend yourself."
She smirked. "I don't care if you kill me. I will never tell you where they are."
"Then you are of no use to us." He said. "Die."
All of the cloaked figures raise their hands up as they began to glow red. She simply closed her eyes and whispered
"Goodbye."
