Hey guyz! OK, this chapter explains everything, and btw, that last chappie was supposed 2 be confusin!


Zoey's P.O.V.

I woke up and looked around. It was Grandma Redbird's lavender farm! I could see her house and ran into it. Though Grandma's dead (I could feel tears welling up in my

eyes) at least I could take some things to remember her by.

I stopped when I heard sounds in the kitchen. Who was it? Burglars?! Quietly I walked to the kitchen doorway and my eyes lit up. It was Grandma! She had her back to

me, chopping lettuce.

"Grandma!" I cried running over to her. She turned around to face me, and I stopped short. It wasn't Grandma! It was Nyx!

"Blessed be, my child." She said, smiling. My eyes widened. She moved her arm in a grand gesture and we were suddenly on top of the hill on the lavender farm.

Nyx sat down on a- what looked like to be- hand-sewn rug and I was sitting on the hill, facing her.

"Nyx, what's going on?" I asked her, confused.

"Zoey, I have given you the temporary gift of seeing into the future." Nyx said to me.

"You mean like Aphrodite?" I asked.

Nyx nodded. "Yes, like Aphrodite, except that was the only time you will see into the future. But, like Aphrodite, you have the power to change the outcome of these

visions. If you do nothing, however, these visions will play out."

I nodded slowly, taking it all in.

"Do you need me to explain the visions for you, Zoey?" Nyx said, a helpful smile on her face.

I blushed and nodded.

"Well, the first vision you saw was of Stevie Rae commiting suicide. She did so because she felt ashamed of what she'd done. The second vision is of the Community Christian Church of Broken Arrow. They had heard of the news from a spy on the inside, and were trying to figure out how you fledglings might be destroyed. The third vision you saw was of your grandma and Sister Mary Angela being burned at the stake. They were burned for contradicting the church and for trying to help the other fledglings escape." Nyx said. My jaw hung open.

"You see, Zoey. All of this because you refused to accept your friends apology." Nyx said gently.

"But she was with my boyfriend! That wasn't very nice!" I said, crossing my arms and feeling like a three-year old.

Nyx laughed. "No, it wasn't. But don't you think she felt really bad about it?" Nyx encouraged.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes." I muttered, feeling like I was talking to my mom.

"And it probably didn't help that you were making her feel even worse, riigghhhttt?" Nyx said, drawing out 'right'.

I sighed. "I guess."

"Good. Now don't you think you should forgive her now?"

"Well, yeah but, I'm just so mad." I said.

"It's okay to be mad, Zoey. It's part of being a human human."

I couldn't stop the smile that tugged on the edges of my lips. "But we aren't really human, now, are we?"

Nyx chuckled. "No, we most certainly are not."

We sat in silence, thinking.

"Zoey, you need to forgive Stevie Rae." Nyx said sternly.

I sighed.

"Zoey, we all make mistakes. Haven't you?" Nyx asked me.

I nodded.

"And it's ok to be mad at her, too. The thing to know is to choose your battles. Now think about it. Would you be losing more than this experience was worth by losing Stevie Rae?" Nyx asked inquisitively.

I thought about how when I thought Stevie Rae dying, I felt my heart break. I guess nobody's perfect, and everything had it's ups and downs.

"Yes." I said quietly.

"You know Zoey, if everyone learned to forgive and forget, and just accept that making mistakes is a part of life, then the world would be a much more peaceful place."

Nyx said sounding very psychic-y.

I thought about it for a moment, and she was right.

"Zoey, I have to send you back now, but will you remember all we've talked about?" Nyx asked me.

"Yes." I said, this time with newfound confidence.

Nyx smiled. "Good. Now goodbye, Zoey." And with another sweep of her arm, Grandma's lavender farm dissapeared.

And once again, I was surrounded by darkness.


*Sigh* Another short chapter. But it explains everything, so I'm happy! XP
