As the Snow Falls
Chapter Three
By: Jaxx
Disclaimer – I only own Elayne Montavo, Aaron
Montavo, Elayne's stepmom - Eliza Montavo, Elayne's dead mother - Lana Montavo,
Madame Karvanti, Arianna, Lila, Renee, and Maya, that's all. Orimi belongs to Alexandra Granger because
she made her up! And that the Mia/Mi
Mael d Sai are my invention. But I got
the words Mia/Mi Mael d Sai and their meanings from the language The Old Tounge
from Robert Jordan's books.
Author's Note Number One: Hey Ppl! I'm SO sorry that
I haven't written for a while…things are getting hectic…I had a VERY crammed
summer (aren't they supposed to be quiet and relaxing?!?!) and I'm starting
High School in the fall. If the
chapters don't come quick enough I'm sorry…I forget things easily when I am
busy…But I'm sure that a little feedback (Review or E-mail form! (GuitarGurlie54@yahoo.com)) would
help me remember to write more!!! All I
have to say is that Elayne had a VERY big secret…
Chapter Three: Letters
It had been two months since I had gotten here and I was already having fun. I had gotten used to classes, Hogsmade weekends, common room parties, and friends.
'Hmmm…I wonder where Orimi is… Or even Lila… Or
Cicely or Arianna… Scratch that – Where
else would Arianna and Cicely be, but the library?' I thought about our two
Ravenclaw friends, when I opened my dorm door. As I opened the door I could see the five girl's beds. Orimi and Lila
were talking on one bed. And the shy
Maya was listening to her headphones on another. Renee – the only girl I had ever truly hated – was painting her
nails a dark purple on the floor.
I started to walk over to Orimi and Lila when I
noticed a strange book lying on my nightstand. I then turned and walked toward it, and soon picked it up. 'It has the family crest on it…' When
I opened it up I had realized that it was very old and very blank. 'Well,' I thought, 'That's pretty stupid…'
That was until I noticed the note attached to it.
It read:
My darling
daughter,
'That's strange,' I thought, 'I
always thought Dad hated me!'
The time is
long past that I should have given you this and told you about who you are.
'Was dad drunk when he wrote this or something?? Who I am? I'm Elayne Montavo – that's who I am!'
You
are not like others. You are
different. You have a power within you
that not many know of, and that very few have. You are something special.
'Okay, that's it. Now I know he's on something…
maybe Mean Old Eliza did something to him. Yeah, that has to be it.'
You
have power. You will learn how to use
is. You must. I cannot tell you anymore. The rest you must figure out on your own. Just as I did. This book
is for you to write you thoughts in about your power, and your life. Your life will be changed. Greatly. But you must not forget who and what you
are. Remember, I love you.
'Okay. It's
official! Call the papers. My dad, Aaron Montavo, is a crack addict!'
Your
Mother,
Lana
Celeste Cantelle Montavo
'WHAT????' I
thought at the same I had shrieked "WHAT????" My face went chalk white. "Oh. My. God. This is NOT right! That is
severely WRONG! The person that did
this to me has SOME nerve! That's SO
NOT funny! How did they know my family
crest? How do they know my mother's
middle names?? Oh no! I must have a STALKER!!!"
"Can you please shut up,
Elayne?? Can't you see that I'm doing
something important here???" Renee said with disdain, as Elayne went on ranting
about how wrong the letter was.
"Yes, I'm sure that splattering
enamel all over your nails is very important, Renee. But it looks like Elayne has a bigger problem," Orimi replied
sarcastically, coming to my defense, as she and Lila ran over and tried to
figure out what the problem was. Maya
was listening to her headphones oblivious to the world around her.
"What is it Elayne?"
"What's the problem?"
Then I stopped screaming as I
handed the letter over to Orimi so she and Lila could take turns reading the
note.
Orimi just looked at me weird.
Lila was skeptical.
"Okay, Elayne… I might be missing
something… Your mom says you have a secret. So, you have a secret that you don't know about. Sure, that's a little weird, but you don't
need to go hysterical on us!"
"Well, I guess that it isn't that
much to be ranting about," I said, as my eyes narrowed, "except for the fact,
that my mother has been dead for ten years."
That was when their eyes went
wide.
