Chapter 24
"you kissed Cedric!" Alicia said holding my wrist and looking at me with a scolding glare.
"Yes i kissed him, but it was only a friendly kiss, it meant nothing." i said, i wasn't sure if i was lying maybe i wasn't, maybe i was. i looked at her and wondered if i should confide the whole tale of Madame Dumas, the bracelet and the Mirrors of Avalon to her, could i burden another person i loved with this. i continued to wait for an answer from her as i drew in short patient breaths. then i felt it again, a pain i had grown all to aware of, Dumas. i don't know if i screamed but i fell to my knees hard, i heard Alicia scream as she rushed to my aid.
"Help! Someone get help!" i heard her yell as i fell into what ever state Dumas brought me too. the blackness that swirled around me was beyond the darkest night i had seen, but i knew where i was, there was no denying it. i was standing in a graveyard at a grave. leaning against the tombstone was Dumas smiling and smoking a cigarette.
"Miss Bell, how pleased i am to see you again. i hope you haven't forgotten me." She said smiling as she looked over at me, her hair blowing in a wind i couldn't feel. i felt like lunging at her but my eyes kept fliting towards the tombstone she was resting so lesurely against. i couldn't make out the name. but i felt i knew the owner, loved the owner. the awful dream i had the cliff top, the choice i made. Oliver or Cedric? who lay now beneath the earth before me?
"Funny isn't it, how life of a wizard is so short, of course there are some who live forever, or so it feels, like Dumbledore or Voldemort. oh sorry i shouldn't say that name should i? but i am older then them though they think i am their peer, i was around a lot longer then they know. I must add that i shall be around long after they are gone, consigned to the history books like Godric Gryffindor or even Harry Potter. You know you could be just like me, immortal, a queen amongst the wizards, they will love you and fear you. its in your blood." she said as she came closer to me.
"My blood?" i asked as she began to circle me like a shark.
"You must know that every mudblood has magic in them for a reason, that reason my lovely is reincarnation. you were once mighty and powerful beyond all the Banshee."
"i was a banshee!" i said in disbelife. "i was soulless?"
"what is a soul? i know of vampires who have loved, men who have killed millions with one. the soul is what people use as an excuse to explain away good and evil. Evil has no soul, good is all soul. the banshee is more then a messanger of death it is more ancient then all the magics. you could be great again Kalista. all you have to do is choose between your Keeper and your Seeker. one will bring you to me the other will lead you away from what your blood yearns for. one will die and one will live which i shan't say but your chose shall be made." she said in such a sing song voice that i wondered if perhaps there was a little snake in the 'woman' before me. as i tried to draw nearer the grave to see the name etched in the headstone a blinding flash of blue light blast out of it and engulfed me.
i woke gasping as if i had been held underwater. as my eyes darted around the room i tried to focus on an object. i felt someone holding my hand, they storked it gently.
"she's waking up." a voice said, i knew who it was instantly Cedric.
"Cedric!" i called as i became more and more aware of my surroundings.
"shush your still weak don't try to move. i am right here and i am not going anywhere." he said as he ran his hand over my forhead. his words made me feel so much better as i felt my skin tingle from his touch.
"Who is Kalista?" i gasped knowing that MacGonagall or Dumbledore must be standing near me also. i heard mumbling and the hustling of feet away from me. they knew who she was, maybe they knew everything, maybe this was more then just trying to keep me away from Cedric, maybe it went much, much deeper then we had first thought. i started to feel as if i was being swallowed now by something much bigger, something i would never ever get away from.
"Cedric, hold me." i said as i felt him scoop me into his strong arms. i cried then as he held me tight, i tried to imagine my life without him and i couldn't, how could i survive without him, he had always been there for me, constant. he had never lied to me. Why had Oliver beaten him up? i was going to find the answer to that question. and that answer would hold the future of my relationship with him.
"How long was i out this time?" i asked as i let Cedric go.
"Just a day this time, but it was a day to long for me. You have to stop doing this, my heart won't take it." he said with a faint trace of a smile.
