Secrets untold

Prologue

Marie woke up with a sharp pain in her chest. She felt an unnatural presence somewhere near the house. Looking at her alarm clock, she saw it was facing away from her. Marie started to worry as she faced it towards herself. It was 1:46a.m. Marie got out of bed, grabbed her robe, and faced her husband who was deep in slumber. Since this aura felt non-human, she kneeled down next to him, kissed him softly on the cheek, and moved the strands of hair covering his face. "I will always love you," Marie whispered before she left the room to go to her son.

She tip-toed silently to his bed. Marie could tell that, just by looking at him, he was going to have a future full of hopes, dreams, and desires, which will come true, step by step. She felt the aura growing stronger and coming closer, so Marie quickly kissed her son on the forehead and whispered, "Take care of your sister and do not fear whatever happens in the future." After she left his room, she ran to her daughter's room, hoping that she had time to say to say her farewell.

As Marie entered her daughter's room, she found a picture of herself, her husband, son, and daughter all standing together for a family portrait. Instantly, Marie started crying. She took the picture out of the frame and went over to her bed where she saw her beautiful daughter. Marie saw that her daughter's moon amulet was glowing, she had to leave, and fast. Marie put her hand over her daughter and pushed all of her power into her daughter's chest, hoping that it will protect her in the future. "Follow your heart and open it to others," Marie said quietly, trying to locate the source that was now over powering her. She ran out of her daughter's room, through the halls, and the living room. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she turned the knob and stepped outside.

Marie knew an evil source was near by, but where? Looking for me? She heard someone asking inside her mind. Marie walked to the middle of her yard and turned around, facing her house. A shadow that seemed almost human was coming towards her and turned into a person who was walking her way.

"What ever you seek you will not find it here," Marie said strongly, hoping that the man would leave once she said it.

He knew what she was planning to do so he took a few more steps till he was only inches from her face. "Hand over the power you posses and I might spare your life," the stranger said while building up his power, waiting to see what Marie would do next.

She took two steps back and looked him straight in the eyes. "I will never give you my power even if it costs my life." All he did was smile and got close to her again.

"Good choice of words," he said as he built up his energy once more and forced it to Marie's chest. "Once you are dead, I will find the source of your power and use it against your kind." The man watched the women fall to the ground, gasping for air. When she stopped moving, the man went over to feel her pulse. Her heart was no longer beating.

He stood up and tried to locate her power but to his surprise, there was no energy of power within her body. "This is most disappointing," the man said mostly to himself, "it seems that your power has been transferred to someone else. Now it will be harder to find it."

As he was about to pick up Marie's body to take to his master, he saw something in her hand, that looked like a piece of paper. Out of curiosity, the man took it from her hand and held it up.

It was a picture of Marie and her family. He looked at each person carefully but his thoughts were mostly on the little girl. So, he thought, she is a Daughter of the Moon. I am guessing we will meet each other in the future. With that thought, the stranger folded the picture to put in his pocket, lifted Marie into his arms, and dissolved into the night.

Well, I hoped everyone liked the story so far. The thought came to me while I was talking to two of my friends about another story I was thinking about making. The next chapter should be posted up soon. Love you all;)
