Author's Note: Alright, Winter, I'm updating! Calm down!
Welcome to My Side of the River
Sonya
Sil's POV
The face off was inevitable. Me and Kate vs Damien, Natalia, and the demon. That didn't mean I liked the odds.
Luckily, Kaila burst into the clearing then, somewhat evening it out a bit. The odds were still against us (after all, we had a prophecy saying that one of us was going to die…) but they weren't quite as bad.
She raced over to Kate, whispering something I couldn't understand in her ear. Kate looked shocked, and a little hopeful. Just what had Kaila found out?
Kate turned to Damien and Natalia. Damien smiled. "Kate, Kate, Kate. When will you learn?"
"I've learned that you need to be taken down in any way possible. Is that what you're referring to?" Once again, Kate's snarky comment drew the power away from his statement.
"I meant that you still haven't learned that you can't win this battle. The prophecy says that one of you will die. Why not just give up?"
"Damien, it looks like YOU haven't learned. I don't give up in the face of danger. Neither does Sil or Kaila. It's what makes us the good guys. We're willing to give up our lives for the chance of saving others."
Kate's words clearly took away any argument he had. "Besides, prophecies always come true in ways no one expects. It didn't specifically say that we would die."
"It said a descendant of Varene, meaning either you, Kaila or Sil. It doesn't get much more obvious than that."
"See, that's where you're wrong. Obviously, you haven't looked at a genealogy lately."
Damien still looked confused, as well as me and Natalia. Kaila looked smug, and Kate had that look on her face that said 'I know something you don't, and you need to know it'. Then, it clicked. Kate couldn't mean… How was that possible?
"Because if you had," Kate continued. "You'd know that Varene is also your ancestor."
