Chapter six

Manipulation begins & the past returns pt 1

...vampires lair—throne room (so to be speak)...

Walking to the entrance of what appears to be a room—enormously spacious and decorated with colors of orange, pink and green transparent curtains that hung over doorways of the balconies and over a large pool with two chairs, standing on each side—facing the pool.

"What is this place?" Tealana asked, slightly feeling uneasy as she was sensing to be something than what it appeared. "This, the oracle's room—this is where you belong." Setna answered, whispered in her ear as she paced past her.

Tealana looked around and admired the room but—felt something was missing or mistranslated. "What is it?" Setna asked, softly as she hid the concern. "If this is the oracle room—is there meant to be an oracle? Wait a minute, didn't you say a moment ago that—this is where I—" tealana began then cut off as she pointed a finger against her chest.

Setna remained silent and nodded as she held both arms out, knelt down and bowed her head. "Welcome home, great seer."

'Seer? I could get used to this.' Tealana thought, unknowingly she is been seduced into the false prophet role. "Come—it is time to take your place as oracle and see what is yet to come, my liege." Setna stated, holding her hand out and waited. Tealana immediately accepted her hand then followed to the chairs, waiting to be sat within.

Tealana sat in the right while Setna sat in the left.

Tealana closed her eyes and slowly breathe in deep breathes then slowly exhaled—assuming to hold her hands over the pool of water and command it to show what is meant to be seen. Setna watched, patiently waited as the first phrase of her plan had begun—manipulating tealana's mind and made to believe she is the seer, and show the supposed vision then proceed to the next phrase of her plan then finally transform her into a vampire and crown tealana as co-queen of darkness.

The water rippled and the vision began to form—a kingdom of promise and peace. The water rippled again and showed a crib with a child within, happily cooed and waving its tiny arms as been watched over by loving parents. Well one is excited while the other is not quite pleased to have a daughter for a first-born heir.

"What do you see?" Setna asked, even though she is able to see it—since to be the vision manipulator. "I see a excited mother and disappointed father, standing over a—baby."

"A baby? What else do you see?"

"I see nothing else." Tealana disappointingly replied and opened her eyes. "It is quite alright—it has been awhile since you been here." Setna softly assured. Tealana nodded then tried to stand as she felt weak. "Whoa—what a rush." Tealana stated, holding her head. "You are tired, you must rest." Setna clapped demandingly for assistance. Two pale, cold skinned maidens walked in and reassuringly grasped each arm then assisted Tealana back to her room.

Angrily waved her hand over the pool then turned away with frustration as her vampiric advisor shimmered in. "It will take some time, highness." Tiyenese stated, softly. The impatient scheming vampiric queen turned slightly and glared—angrily narrowed her stare towards the advisor. "Time is what I do not have, Tiyenese! Is she the one as the oracle predicted or will I fail?" Kauket asked.

As the advisor opened her mouth to answer—an echoed voice spoke then shimmered in, revealing her presence, holding a quite white crystal ball. "I have told you that your future will come to past as soon as you have turned the sister into one of us then—become all powerful." The oracle told the vampiric queen.

"Then I have no use for you—unless there is something you are not revealing." The anxious vampire glared into the oracle's eyes, lowly snarled. "I assure you my liege, there is nothing else to tell unless you turn her before the eclipse or you never get your chance as she will come into her full psychic powers and then it is over. She will be the instrument of your destruction." The oracle answered.

"For your sake—oracle, better pray to be right or it is your end that you will be meeting." Kauket lowly growled, threatening the oracle then turned away and sat in her throne.

"Leave me."

Both the advisor and oracle shimmered out of the room but stood outside the throne room, invisibly stared within the doorway and whispery spoke. "What did you see, oracle?" the advisor asked. "I saw this creature's power but also another." Oracle answered. "Another? There is another? What powers does she possess?" the advisor curiously asked. "She is going to be the queen's end and all of the force of evil—" The oracle begun then interrupted. "What do you mean—end all of the force of evil?" the advisor lowly said.

"I mean—end of the queen's and whomever is the force of evil will meet their doom." Oracle replied. Tiyenese glared the oracle with extreme wearing fear, quickly looked to the queen and back to the oracle. "Who is this mysterious—powerful one?" she demanded. "Morsara—the almighty goddess." Oracle replied.

Tiyenese glared, shocked but disbelieved it. "That could not be possible! Morsara is nothing but a fairy folklore tale." Tiyenese hissed. "That is what we all are made to believe—the cat of folklore is also here." Oracle told the advisor. "What! The cat! He is only merely a myth—he has to be." Tiyenese said, disbelieving the stories of the goddess and cat are more then folklore stories. "Who said the cat was a he?" Oracle answered. "What do mean? Is the animal a he or she? And what kind of cat are we talking about?" Tiyenese whispery hissed. "A lion—a lioness to be precisely exact." Oracle answered. "A lioness—she is nothing more than a myth." Tiyenese muttered. "Another that is made to believed as only fiction—but she exists as the Lioness is what the queen fears. Some years before she was killed by the pharaoh—she sent out soldiers to kill all lionesses that were born—golden." Oracle half explained.

"Golden? A golden lioness—explain oracle." She demanded. The oracle smiled and requested as she prepared to wave her hand. "Come with me and I shall show you."


...back at the ranch...

Raph and Mona noticed the children were getting tired and hungry they suggested to go inside. "Come on kids, inside—unca raphie will put on a cartoon on while I make my famous chocolate brownies." Mona softly ushered. "Don't you mean mummy's brownies?" Alexis said, walking the porch. "Well yeah, mummy's brownies." Mona answered, correcting herself and scratched her head. The red clad smiled and shook his head, trying not to laugh or giggle. "What?" Mona asked.

"Nothin'." Raph answered. Mona huffed as she walked inside, completely ignored her husband's silent remark.


...upstairs—Leo's and Neesa's bedroom...

The loving parents stood within each other's embrace as they watched each daughter sleep in their beds. Leo softly exhaled, letting a short sigh and nuzzled into his beautiful wife's neck—lovingly kissed her jaw. Neesa reached up, cupped her hand over his head and murmuring moaned and nuzzled back without breaking the embrace.

"Ai shite imas, Lei."

"Soshite, ai shite imas Neesa."

The blue clad terrapin, slid his arm underneath Neesa's legs and gazed into her eyes, softly smiled. She returned the smile and leaned in, giving him a tender loving kiss. Sharing their passionate deep kiss, Leo walked to the bed using his other senses—and guide him to the waiting mattress. Gently placing his wife down like precious china and continued to stand but slightly hovered over her—continued smiling, softly and loving glared into her eyes as she lovingly brushed her thumb across his cheek while holding his face within the palm of her hand.

Gently gesturing him to kiss her once again as she wrapped her other arm around his neck and over his shoulder—carefully climbed over her then laid beside her without breaking the kiss and pulled her closer within his arms embrace, entwining his legs within hers—furthering holding her so she may not escape—even though she had no intention to escape.

Caressing eachother's cheeks, lovingly as they broke from the kiss and glared into each other's eyes once more then smiled. Curling her fingers then softly brushed the back of her fingers along his cheek and kissed his lips again then nuzzled underneath his chin.

Leo softly moaned, closed his eyes as he tightened his embrace around her upper body and kissed her head then laid his jawline just above her forehead. Neesa listened to her husband's heart beat as she laid her hand underneath her jaw and let an extremely low purr escape her throat then closed her eyes.

When she did—something unexpected waved over her as she slept.

...Dreamscape...

Neesa stretched her arms out above her then across, reaching out for her terrapin husband—only find a empty bedside. Opened her eyes and raised her head then looked around the room—she was alone. Assuming to have slept in again and her family must be waiting for her downstairs in the kitchen, having breakfast.

Rolling onto her back then rose up into sitting position as she uncovered her legs then placed her feet on the floor. Breathed in then stood up—stretched again as she made her way to the closet. Grabbing the built-in wardrobe handles then slid them open—a strange woman stood in the centre of the wardrobe, dressed in white priestess robes.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my closet—better yet, what the hell are you doing in my room?" Neesa demanded, immediately felt invaded.

"Pardon my rudeness my liege. I am known as Tetisheri, high priestess of immortality and power." The high priestess answered, bowing. "High priestess of immortality and power? I think you have the wrong—" Neesa begun then interrupted. "You are unsure of your destiny?" Tetisheri stated. "Destiny? I don't know who you think I am, lady but I think you better leave before I send you into oblivion. Right now!"

"Is that any way of treating your guest? Especially your priestess of your secrets." Tetisheri stated. "Secrets? I don't know what you are talking about, and you don't leave—I'll send you to the afterlife." Neesa confusedly replied. "This is not getting us no where, He did say you'd react like this." Tetisheri said, walking past Neesa.

Neesa watched the strange woman walked past her and made herself at home—browsing through her room. "He? He who?" Neesa asked, folding her arms. "Who?" Tetisheri replied, softly. "You said He—Who is he?" Neesa repeated then asked another question.

"Did I say He?" Tetisheri replied. "Yeah." Neesa answered, nodding. "Your grandfather, of course." Tetisheri answered, finally. "My grandfather?" Neesa repeated.

"Hm-mm." She humed, nodding. "Ok this is too weird." Neesa stated, rubbing her temples and sat down on the edge of her bed. "Not really, Neesa." Tetisheri said.

"How did you know my name?"

"I know more than just your name, child—I'm here to show more than what a mere dream can. Take my hand and I shall show you." Tetisheri said, holding her hand.

Neesa raised her head up, gazed Tetisheri's hand then slowly raised her own and accepted Tetisheri's. A white glow grew around their hands then around their bodies—changing Neesa's satin night dress into an white and golden godly attire. "What did you do to me?" Neesa said with a jolt of disbelief. "Nothing—you are in your godly attire, my liege." Tetisheri said.

"Godly attire? You have explaining to do—I demand to know, now." Neesa demandingly requested. "Do not let go and come with me as there is much to tell." Tetisheri answered, instructionally. Walking through a glowing white/blue portal to the past—Egypt's past.

...to be continued in chapter seven...

Wow...what to expect in the next chappie.

This is a dreamscape and it will continue in the next chappie as this is where we see how the vampiric queen of darkness came to power—well we know how she tried to take the throne of one but how she came to be on another but was not told she is only a vessel for the true queen of darkness.

What a price to pay in manipulation for one to be given the opportunity then have it taken away and give to another. Strange huh? Shall I continue?

Read and review until next time...tootles
