Chapter 7: A past brought to light and Moments with your mom
I enter the Entrance hall of Hogwarts a day later. I felt increasingly happy as I approached the Great Hall. The only ones that should be up would be the Gods, a few Professors and maybe some students. I enter the room and felt eyes lock onto me, but ignore it as I head towards Professor Mcgonagall. I felt a predatory smirk appear on my face as I thought about what I would be telling her. I soon stood before her and waited for her to acknowledge me. She sighed after a few moments and put her goblet down before asking, "What can I do for you today Kaileara?"
"I just wished to show you a few things," I murmur before taking the two letters I had received out, "Read this one first," I handed her my potions on first, "And this one second," I handed her the DWMA one before smiling, "I hope you will find them to your liking,"
She opened the potions one first and as she began to read it, I smiled brightly. Her eyes grew to the size of dinner plates before she looked at me. I smirk as she said, "Kaileara...this means-"
"I no longer have to deal with the mind rapeing bastard that Dumbledore has employed," I finish for her as many sharp intakes of breath were heard, "I also did better than him and am the youngest Potions mistress in the world. I will be spending more time training, planning, and working on my projects," I pause before my smirk eased into a soft smile, "Upon my leaving of this school for the last time, I shall be firing Snape and employing another Potions teacher. I will leave the person up to you as you know the past students better than I do,"
She nodded, "I'm proud that you've done something that not many could accomplish. I will do my best to find a better teacher."
"I know you will," I say, "After all you are the best candidate for Headmistress...now please read the next letter,"
I watch as her eyes did the same as before only this time they were wider. She dropped the letter as shock coursed through her body and I turned away. I began to walk away as a soft breeze swept through the hall and returned my documents to me. A self satisfied smirk appeared on my face just as she exclaimed, "You're using the 21st rule on the school charter plus using your connections in the Ministry to-"
A laugh erupted from my throat to cut her off. I laughed for a few minutes before it dissolved into chuckles. I finally stopped and said, "I am dealing a crippling blow to both Dumbledore and his pride. You can thank my First Mate for finding the information. She is truly a daughter of Hathor with her knowledge," A grin had spread across my face as my posture returned to it's relaxed state, "Dumbledore shall fall with Riddle. I will make certain of it," I almost laughed at what I was going to say next since it would reveal that I truly did remember my past life, "After all they dare to taunt a wolf without fearing the claws, fangs, or howl," I felt a slow smirk spread across my face, "Now they shall feel the sting of my claws as my fangs tear them limb from limb and my haunting howl echoes through the world. No one messes with my pack and get's away with it."
I then left the room as silence fell. My footsteps echoed against the hall as portraits seemed to stare at me in shock. I passed them and many suits of Armor until I reached my room. I took the moment to stare at the portrait and almost snorted. A wolf laying across a moonlit cliff. The wolf was a tawny grey color with amber eyes...hmm wait I remember painting this one about...a month after coming back to Hogwarts. I smile at the wolf after realizing that because I had often wondered where it had gone. I shrug it off and said, "Hearts Pirates."
The portrait swung open and I walked inside. I shrugged off my bag before going about the room to get ready for the day. I even called a house elf up to give me some breakfast before I took a seat at my desk. I worked on my Sealing and Rune work for about an hour before I heard the portrait open. I look up and smile as each of my Wizarding Nakama walked into the room before taking a seat. I put everything away as Hermione walked in and plopped into a seat between the twins. The first to speak was Draco, who looked between Hermione and I with wariness, "Okay so why isn't Mione trying to kill you?"
"I gave her a book that she absolutely loves and it's a copy of the original," I answer causing Hermione to roll her eyes.
"What book?" Neville asked
"A certain book that she's been looking for, for the last two years," I say causing the eyes of those around me to widen in shock, "That's right it's a copy of the history of ancient runes...it has every single rune from the ancient world,"
"Woah," Susan breathed as many nodded in shock, "Where did you find that?"
"I've had it for a very long time," I answer with a shrug, "I got it as a present from Athena in my last life. I think it was for doing some task that none of her children had been able to do...can't even remember what I did, but yeah,"
"How did you get a copy of it?" Tracy burst out causing me to chuckle.
"I had Hecate copy it a month before I ended up dying," I answer with a shrug, "I had a feeling that I would need it, but didn't know why,"
"Who kept all the books for you?" Daphne asked causing me to smirk, "And why do I have a feeling it's going to tie into the reason you wanted all of us here,"
I felt my smirk grow into a cheshire grin, "I had one of my best friends take care of them for me. It was a favor for giving her something that she had lost."
"Who was it?" Neville asked causing me to giggle.
"Oh you know..." I trail off as I thought of her again before shaking it off, "Lady Marzanna,"
"Marzanna!" Gasped Hermione causing me to nod, "A Slavic Goddess? How in the fuck did you meet her?"
"By chance and because of who my father was in my past life," I answer with a shrug causing them to stare at me, "I'm not going into the whole story, but I was sent on a quest by Nyx. She wanted me to retrieve something for her and I bumped into Marzanna on my way to get it. We started talking and became fast friends because of how much I liked winter even if I came from a region that didn't have cold winters often,"
"Who was your father in your past life?" Hermione asked causing me to sigh.
"Perhaps it would be best if I didn't open that can of worms," I say causing them to look at me in surprise after all I was never reluctant to share information about my past, "Now as for why we're all here. I want to have a prank war. We have barely done anything this year. Remember last year?" I saw a few confused looks, "We pulled over 40-50 pranks a month sometimes even 100-220! We've only pulled, for a combined total of 34 pranks. Guys we suck this year," I deadpan before shaking my head, "Last year alone we pulled over 899 pranks. Third year we pulled 501 pranks. 2nd 209 pranks. Lastly we have 1st and we pulled 120 pranks. We are nearly out of the school year and only 34 pranks have been pulled?! This makes no sense!"
"We've been busy?" Hermione weakly defended.
"What the hell happened to giving them hell this year? What happened to our Unholy Havoc?!" I nearly shout, "WE NEED THIS PRANK WAR!"
"What do you suggest Ms. Captain?" Tracy asked causing me to roll my eyes.
"I suggest this," I pull out a large list, "This is a compiled list of pranks and things we are not allowed to do at Hogwarts. We will be competing to see who pulls off the most pranks,"
"We as is..." Draco trailed off.
"The old Boys Vs. Girls," I grin causing the boys to protest.
"Hell no you'll beat us!" Neville cried.
"Yeah you're the daughter of a fucking Trickster!" Fred protested for once without his twin.
"We can't compete with the daughter of Loki!" George added.
I roll my eyes," Boys, boys, boys stop your belly aching. Do you really think I wouldn't give you some kind of leg up?"
That caused them to quiet and me to smirk. Draco hesitantly asked, "What do you mean?"
"I've called in one of my friends," I murmur, "I met him during my first life(Okay everyone. Who did I mention at the beginning of the last chapter in my quote?) when I was really bored and went to a chocolate shop in a magical catering distric. We bumped into each other and talked...subsequently it ended in something I won't say,"
"You had sex?!" Hermione gasped causing me to sigh.
"It was only once with him," I defend myself, "We're more like best friends...besides he's gay, so it doesn't matter. After all I stuck to girls after that,"
"Who was it anyway?" Neville asked.
"A certain..." (Okay now what Series is he a part of and who is one of the favorite parings?!) I trail off.
"A certain what?!" Susan near shouted.
"A certain Angle that got tired of his brothers acting like idiots," I answer causing them to give me blank looks.
I waited for five minutes until Hermione eyes widened and she whispered, "Archangel Gabriel! You know Gabriel...Hell you've had sex with him!"
"In another life for one," I glare at Hermione causing her to blush, "And for another I love Law for he holds my heart. Now I'm going to talk to him so get out!"
They tried to protest before realizing they wouldn't win. I watch as the door closed before I sighed and called for Mipsy. My elf appeared and bowed, "What can I do for you Mistress Kai?"
"Can you get me my special feather mirror...the golden one not the obsidian with gold streaks," I say before adding, "Oh and bring me a pound of chocolates,"
She bowed and left me to my own devices for the time being. I sighed before getting up and moving around my room for a little while. I soon laid on my back and began batting around a ball of lightning like a cat does to a ball of yarn. I stop upon hearing Mipsy return and smile at the house elf before sighing again. I stare at the mirror that glowed brightly from both the fire and the sun. I gently ran my fingers over the mirror before taking a deep breath and speak in enochian, " Trickster OL ZORGE OL desire OIAD gift OL MAD father DARSAR NOSTOAHOLANI desire OIAD gift OL OIAD IRCH OD MTIF flesh. Answer NIIS Gabriel! (Trickster my friend you desire the gift of your father where as I desire the gift of the moon and her flesh. Answer me, Gabriel)
The mirror glowed in my palm and I shielded my eyes for a few seconds before looking down at it. I grinned a cheshire grin down at the man who stared at me with wide eyes. He finally stops staring before shouting, "KAILEARA?!"
"Easy Gabe I don't need you to blow my ear drums out," I roll my eyes at him causing him to pause, "Now I do believe it's time we talked,"
"Tell me something only Kai and I would know," He ordered stubbornly.
"Bastard of course you would order me around when you know I hate taking orders," I growl to which he snickered, "Fine. You told me after we had been friends for two years that you were having visions of the future. Said vision had you either being killed by Lucy or Micky boy in a fit of rage...or you sleeping with one of the winchesters though both you and I know that Sammy boy is the better of the two. If that's not enough, One time you and I went to out drinking and found ourselves in a cage together. Both of us weren't wearing clothes, The demons were going to sell us as sex slaves and you suggested we play dead. You however were found out rather quickly and ended up giving a certain yellow eyed bastard a-"
"Alright, Alright it's you," He said causing me to snicker, "I don't need you giving Dean'o any idea's. What do you need?"
"I need my best friend to do me a favor and if you come here quick I shall give you a pound of chocolate-" I cut myself off as I remember what he said before his question, "Wait Dean's in the room with you?"
"Both of them actually along with Castiel," Gabriel answered as I caught a few snickers and laughs.
"I should pop by later, but right now we have some things to talk about. I assume you can still lock onto my signal?" I ask after calming down causing him to nod.
"Who do you take me for?" Gabe asked sarcastically.
"You do remember that time when I was 16," I began as he started to pale, "I was in greece and you were who the hell knows where. I called you up and you tried to find me only you ended up in antarctica before finally locking onto my signal. You still ended up causing fifteen gods to get pissed at you and had hell hounds chasing you which finally caught up to you and-"
"DON'T SPEAK OF IT!" Gabe shouted causing me to let go of the mirror for a few seconds, "I'll be there in five,"
I gave a salute and watched as the glass went blank. I snort as he appeared within seconds rather than minutes. I threw him the chocolates and say, "That was fast...Let me guess they were trying to get you to talk about it?"
He grumbled under his breath as he took a seat before looking me over. I snort and have Mipsy grab me two glasses of Winter's Beauty. Winter's Beauty is a type of wine that I made during my first life. It's a mixture of red wine, white wine, and various other types. Gabriel took his with a slight smirk and asked, "What is it that you called me here for?"
"A prank war," I answer with a small smirk as I lean back and took a sip of the heavenly wine, "A chance to get back at me while also proving that just because I am Loki's daughter it doesn't mean a thing,"
"Perhaps if you can give me all the information first," He suggested causing me to nod.
Without a word, I used my powers to show him the important parts of my life. When I was finished, it was near midnight. He shook his head before frowning, "You're aunt and Uncle were horrible people...I trust that your parents will end up doing something about them."
"Of course," I smirk lazily, "After all I am their cub,"
"You haven't changed a bit, but the Surgeon of Death, really?" He asked causing me to roll my eyes.
"Yes," I murmur causing him to snort, "You do realize that you can't complain about me getting all the girls now...though with Sammy Boy you really can't talk,"
"Don't I know it," He groused causing me to snort, "I agree to this prank war, but I want something from you if I win,"
"And what Pray Tell is that?" I ask as I lean forward and prop my head up with my left hand as my right held my glass.
"You have to make an appearance before my brothers...and beat the shit out of Zechariah," He answered causing me to roll my eyes.
"I was going to do that anyway," I murmur causing him to snort, "What? Your one of my best friends. I can't leave you to the dogs,"
"You did before," He accused causing me to roll my eyes.
"That was a long time ago and you did get away," I point out with a smirk.
"I was used as a fuck post by Hell hounds for three days!" He near shouted causing me to snicker, "It's not Funny! It took me weeks to clean my wings and hair enough so they wouldn't smell like dog!"
"You spent four weeks in a whore house before that while dragging me with you," I retort causing him to pause, "You left me to deal with a Horny Love Goddess and multiple Fan girls, So suck it the fuck Up!"
He stayed silent for a few moments before grumbling, "Why do you have to be right most of the time?"
"I have to be the smart and reasonable one out of us," I answer with a roll of my eyes, "Out of the 8 of us, Andy and I had to act like the responsible ones of our group...where are the others anyway?"
"I haven't heard much, but I'll get the word out about you being alive," He murmured as he stood up.
"So you'll do it?" I ask causing him to shrug.
"Why not, but I may end up having to take you with me in a few weeks," He said causing me pause and stare at him, "My brother has done something stupid, but I will tell you later. I suppose it all starts tomorrow?"
"No the day after," I murmur before shaking my head, "Wait scratch that yes, but it will be at breakfast when it starts,"
He nodded before disappear. I shook my head at the normal angel transportation and curl up in my chair. My glass was soon emptied and I stared blankly into the fire. The fire danced and I allowed myself to slip into a stupor as I watched the fire turn into a story. A story that Mimicked my first life, but only...the hero didn't die. I allow my eyes to slip away from the fire as I collapse against the chair and fell asleep...
Dream
I found myself walking along a broken road and my heart beat fast in my chest as I realize these were some of my final moments before death claimed me as her own. I walked silently over the road as I passed both friend and foe laying froze in time as death took them. The reapers that appeared glanced at me and nodded as they knew I would be joining them soon...after all it's the only way to end this. I soon reached a city that looked so broken, yet so alive. Men, Women, mortal, and immortal mingled as they fought against the invading forces. I bit my lip as I passed friends fighting or grieving. My heart hammered like a war drum as I passed so many innocent souls. The damned fought and died as they encountered my friends. This war was the worst I had seen, Blood seemed to rain from the sky. Brother against brother, Sister against sister, friend against friend, and lover against lover. Grief filled me and propelled me onward. I tried to stop even if I knew I couldn't...I was just a spectator. I approached the epicenter of the battle and found that none had reach this place. Standing tall with glee on his face, My brother...my twin in all but blood. I stared at him as he turned towards me. His form flickered with shadows as he grinned. He raised his hands like he was a conductor and he said, "Welcome Kaileara! Isn't this wonderful! We're going to be free of the gods and their wars...we're finally going to be free!"
I shook my head and shouted, "Talon This is Madness! This is not the way! The Gods are needed as are their Wars! This is not the way to become free. Please Brother stop this Madness."
"Madness?" He cocked his head to the side as if the word was foreign to him, "How is this Madness?"
"Brother is fighting brother, Sister against sister, Friend against friend, and Lover against Lover!" I shout causing his face to redden, "This is not the way to go! Innocence are dying! Talon this isn't a war...this is a slaughter. The gods-"
"The Gods are old and idiotic!" He protested as he bared his fang like teeth, "They have lost their way and it's time for a new age to begin. Join me Kaileara and we can rule together...as King and queen,"
"Talon," I spoke softly, "The Gods are needed...it is the balance of things. They may have lost something, but they are still needed...please brother this isn't you...this isn't you. Brother-"
"Brother?" He questioned the word as anger flashed in his eyes, "You call em brother yet I feel so much more for you! I love you Kaileara!"
"NO!" I shout and shook my head, "You don't love me Talon...not like that. What happened to the boy I knew, The one who believed the gods we're needed even if they caused so much pain?"
"He died," Talon's voice was coated in steel, "I realized with the death of my mother that the gods were nothing more than idiots with power. Kaileara you've seen what they've done...Your father paid the price!"
I shook my head sadly, "No Talon it was not the gods that killed him...it was his choice to die."
"Choice?" He spat, "We don't have a choice. Had it not been for the titans, we would still be in the dark ages! The gods have ruined the world!"
I shook my head and drew my bow. I knew he couldn't be reasoned with. I felt a tear curl down my cheek as I shot my arrow. He jumped back in surprise before anger consumed him. He ran at me and I continued to fire upon him before I summoned my knives to fight. We fought for what felt like a long time...Moon Vs. Sun. Darkness Vs. Light. I spoke softly as we clashed, "Please Talon do not make me kill you. Please you are my brother-"
"Don't say that," He screeched, "I love you Kaileara. I always have! Why do you not see that?"
"I cannot see you as anything more than my brother," I murmur as our blades locked, "Please see that and stop this...please,"
"No if I can't have you," His eyes blazed and his strength doubled, "Than NO ONE WILL!"
His blows became unrelenting. I gasp and struggle to keep up. Memories of long nights and blissful days pass through my mind as the fight continued. Magic and Divine gifts were thrown about. The once pristine room was reduced to a hollow shell of broken fragments. I wince as I was sent skittering across the jagged floor. I lay on my back unable to move and he approached. His eyes filled with madness as he crouched next to me. His fingers trail across my cheek and I whisper brokenly, "Please Talon...don't."
His eyes clear for just a moment and hope rose inside of me before it came crashing down as they return to their maddened state. I felt my energy rise up and I place a hand on his cheek. He flinched as pain filled his eyes. I sent everything I had into him and he screamed, "NO!"
I stare at him as I withdrew my hand and a blade of light pierced his heart. I spoke softly as he stared down at me in shock, "Be at peace brother and know that you will be judged ball all of your actions."
His eyes closed and his body collapsed next to mine before disappearing in a flash of light. My eyes were heavy as people ran into the room. Everyone, even kind and calm Hestia wore armor. I heard my mothers sob as she ran to me. She fell to her knees beside me and pulled me into her lap. Tears flowed from her eyes and dripped onto my ash covered face. I weakly raised a hand and wiped it away as she murmured, "No, No, No please no...please not my daughter..."
I smile sadly up at her as I slowly weakened and darkness edged my vision, "It's okay mother...It's okay..."
"Apollo please! Do something!" She yelled causing her twin to appear next to her.
He tried everything to heal me that wouldn't immediately vaporize me before shaking his head sadly, "I'm sorry Arty, but I...I can't heal her."
"Perhaps immortality?" Suggested Hecate causing me to chuckle weakly.
Hestia shook her head and murmured, "She wouldn't accept...her heart can't allow her..."
I look upon my mother with sad eyes, for I knew she would fall to grief...for her only child would be dead. I spoke softly though it was heard by all, "I cannot accept gifts when my time has come...I cannot do something that will cause others to die...to allow the dead's sacrifice to be rendered null. Leave me as I am...Unchanged as the wind...free as the ocean...do not tame me with immortality for I do not wish for it...instead take my request," I saw the confused faces with only Hestia's eyes full of understanding, "Do not spill the blood of thy brother nor of thy kin. Do not allow the unclaimed to be forgotten. Do not allow yourself to judge one by what they are...allow us to be free...allow us to make our choices...do not allow this to happen once again..."
I took a deep shuddering breath and my mother sobbed. I look into her eyes and smile softly before closing my own for the last time.
End of dream
I shot up and heard glass shattering. I looked to the side and saw the pieces of glass. With a sigh, I wave my hand and watch as it repaired itself before I took a deep breath. I quickly headed over to my bedroom. I quickly took a seat on my bed before reaching under one of the pillows. I quickly grab the mirror underneath and whispered, "Law."
The mirror glowed for three minutes before Law's face became visible. I wince upon seeing his sleepy face. He stared at me for a few moments before asking, "What happened Leara?"
"I didn't wake you did I?" I ask to avoid talking.
"No I was about to go to bed," He answered before his grey eyes turned piercing, "What happened?"
I took a deep breath before I tell him everything. I finally finish, "...and I woke up."
He sighed and rubbed his face before saying, "If you want, You can port over here and leave a clone. I wouldn't mind it if you bunked with me tonight."
"No it's fine besides I don't want to keep you up," I murmur though I was really tempted to take his offer, "Plus if I went now, I wouldn't want to leave again,"
He chuckled dryly before looking at me with a sleepy smile, "Alright, but if you need anything I'm here."
I nod and watch as the mirror went black. Sometimes a sleepy Law, is a good Law because then he can't force me to do stuff with cold hard facts. I shook my head before getting up. I quickly walked over to my window and opened it up. I climbed onto the ledge before hopping down onto the moonlit lawn using my powers to soften my landing. I heard gasp and look to see that the demigod that had rode with my mother was standing there. I tilt my head to the side in curiosity and decided that it wouldn't hurt to talk to her. I approach her on swift feet as she stared at me in mute shock before she shook her head and asked, "How did you do that?"
"I used my powers," I answer with a shrug before holding out a hand, "Names Kaileara Lunar D. Ashferd-Potter-Evans,"
"Thalia Grace," She answered and took my hand, "What are you doing up so late?"
"Stayed up late making plans as usual, Fell asleep in front of the fire, and woke up from a memory," I answer with a small shrug, "I couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to get some air and maybe go for a run or something," I then look at her curiously, "What about you?"
"I wanted to see what this place looked like at this time of night or day," She answered causing me to nod, "So your My Ladies Daughter..."
"Problem?" I ask causing her to shake her head.
"No it's just...weird. She's a virgin goddess yet she has a daughter," Thalia answered causing me to snicker, "What's so funny?"
"This isn't my first life nor is it my first life being a daughter of Artemis," I answer and shake my head in amusement, "It's my second,"
"Really?" Thalia looked at me in shock, "Who did she fall for?"
"My first father was..." I trailed off before shaking my head, "Actually I don't know. I guess it just happened since love is very fickle...I doubt it had to do with Aphrodite,"
"How do you know that?" Thalia asked in surprise.
"Mom would have filled her hide with arrows multiple times by now," I answer with a small smirk, "I very much doubt Aphrodite wouldn't have been punished for making my mom fall in love,"
"Why is she still considered a virgin goddess than?" Thalia asked causing me to shake my head.
"The fates had a hand in that...I think it was because lady Ai was impressed that Artemis could hold back and keep her vow even if she was entrapped by my first father," I answer with a small shrug, "I was a gift from the fates to my parents,"
Thalia let out a whistle, "I never thought that the fates could do that. Man you must have been powerful."
I shrug once again with a shake of my head, "Nah. I wasn't that powerful. I actually had to work really hard in order to get to where I was. The fates just mixed my mom's and my first fathers essence together and Bam! I came along."
"So no extra powers?" Thalia asked causing me to chuckle.
"Not really...I mean I was blessed by a few gods and goddesses, but other than the stuff I got from my parents," I say with a small grin, "Since I was Mom's first born, I had a bunch of powers from her and still do because of my soul. As for my first father, he gave me a bunch of stuff as well,"
"What was your first father?" Thalia asked causing me to shake my head.
"I would rather not open that can of worms," I say with seriousness, "Shit would hit the fan faster than you could say moon if I talked about it. I really don't want to deal with a load of shit right now,"
She laughed at that before nodding, "I understand though don't let the Athena kids know that. They would try to pry it out of you."
"I am aware of their habits," I deadpan causing her to raise an eyebrow, "They were the same back in my first life. I really don't want to deal with their badgering. I do have to ask thought," At her curious look, "Do you have any really strong fighter? I need a good spar,"
"I'm pretty strong and so is Percy," At my confused look she shook her head and said, "Percy Jackson,"
"Ah the son of Poseidon," I sat before shaking my head, "I guess that could work though I do hope you have a few more. I don't want to have to fight Ares just to get a good spar,"
"You've fought Ares?!" Thalia asked as she stared at me in disbelief.
"Yeah," I shrug at her expression, "It was at the beginning of the war to see if I would be able to fight to the degree I needed to," My face darkened, "The bastard cheated," I then shook that off, "Other than that it was pretty fun,"
She stared at me for a few moments before shaking her head, "How are you..."
"Battle loving?" I ask causing her to nod, "My adoptive brothers...hell my whole adoptive family are to blame," I then shook my head, "Well it was nice meeting you Thalia,"
I turn on my heel to go for a run when she asked, "Where are you going?"
"On a run," I answer before shaking my head, "It's been to long,"
I then took off without so much as a by your leave. I ran in a straight line for a moment before I jumped into the air and twisted my body. I shifted into my favorite form, my frostwolf and howled at the sheer relief. I ran across the front lawn before diving into the forest. The feeling of the wind through my fur was addicting. Frost gathered at my paws and up the trees as I ran by them. I created trails of frost all over the place as I ran before I broke out of the tree line. I heard a howl and turn my head to see Luna running towards me.(Animagus form is in A Wolf's North) I nuzzled her as she approached before we began a game. The others join us and soon we were running around and enjoying ourselves. I soon allow them to play around as I felt something on the steps of the school. I turned my head and gazed at my mother from where she stood. She stared at us in shock before her eyes went to mine. With grace in my steps, I walked over to her and took a seat next to her as I began to watch my Nakama enjoy themselves. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turn my head to the side to gaze at her. She spoke softly though I could still hear the sadness in her voice, "Kaileara...what is all this?"
"My Magical Nakama are enjoying themselves," I answer before saying, "I don't blame you for anything," I shook my head sadly, "It was my choice...it was either end him with my life or allow thousands to die...I chose to former because no innocent deserves to die. I also chose it because I knew that had I not...it would have gone to another,"
"What do you mean?" She asked causing me to sigh.
"It was a part of a prophecy," I answer with a shake of my head.
She was silent for a while before asking, "Why didn't you inform me?...Why didn't my brother?"
"I didn't want you to stop me from making my decision," I answer with a shake of my head, "I asked Uncle Apollo to not inform you...I...just didn't want you to worry or try to protect me. I'm sorry,"
I felt like Bepo when I said that before shaking that thought off. I was surprised when I felt her hug me around the neck. I shifted into my human form and hugged her back. She released me after a few moments and I smiled softly at her before looking back at my Nakama. I shook my head just as she said, "You have good friends...why do you call them Nakama?"
"They're my crew...they're my friends that have become family. I only found a name for how I felt about specific people during my life as a pirate," I answer with a wry smile, "I...was slowly losing faith in kindness until I met my younger brother...well now he's older than me, but that doesn't matter," I shook my head, "Anyway I found my definition of Nakama," At seeing her confused look I chuckled, "Nakama has many diffrent meanings because it's diffrent for everyone. For me," I felt a soft smile form as the images of my Nakama flashed before my eyes, "They're the people who will not stab you in the back. The people who accept you as you are...no matter how idiotic, insane, or sadistic you are.." I shook my head at the look on her face," They will protect you as you protect them. Their weakness becomes yours and their strengths becomes yours. Their life is your life. They are yours to protect and your are theirs. Nakama are your friends, siblings, parents, grandparents, and lovers. Everything you are, everything you can be will be achieved through blood, sweat, and tears. When you cry, they cry. When they're in pain, you are in pain. When they're happy, you are happy. They are the greatest thing in this world...they are your world in the end..." I felt an easy smile come onto my lips as more memories flash before my eyes, "Each time you protect them, each time you fight for them, each time you make them proud, make them happy, It's an honor of the highest degree...For my Nakama I will die...I will not allow them to be harmed when I can do something to help them...My Nakama is my life. They are my greatest treasure and for them to be harmed when I can do something is the deepest betrayal I could commit. You see that so long as you are my Nakama your happiness comes before mine," I gave her a soft smile, "Your my Nakama...You've always been,"
I could see the surprise in her eyes and chuckled softly. She snapped out of her shock before she said, "I never expected that, but I have to ask," She paused causing me to nod my head, "What do you mean by 'Idiotic, insane, or Sadistic'?"
"Um..." I trailed off as a sheepish smile appeared on my face, "Well...I've changed...a lot. I also know a lot of people who are...weird,"
I saw the look on her face and shook my head just backed away a little. She asked, "What do you mean by 'Changed'?"
"I..um...well ya see," I pause for a moment before shaking my head, "I would rather not explain it..at all,"
"Then how do you expect me to find out about how much you've changed?" She asked causing me to pause.
"I could use my Devil Fruit power to show you my memories, but the power is very taxing," I murmur before sighing, "Would you mind waiting until the weekend? So I can figure out what to show you...and for you to decide who you want to see the memories,"
She looked deep in thought for several moments before nodding in accent. I gave her a smile before turning back to my Nakama. She said, "I see that you want to join your friends...I'll just be going-"
"Mama?" I ask causing her to pause and look at me, "Do you want to join us?"
She looked slightly conflicted before nodding. I smiled softly and grabbed her hand. I walked where everyone was. They looked between the two of us in confusion though Daphne and Tracy we slightly jealous. Hermione turned into her human form before asking, "What's going on?"
"My Mom's going to be joining us," I answer causing them to nod, "So shall we play?" Upon seeing their nods, I turn to my mom, "Choose any form you wish,"
She smiled as I transformed into my FrostWolf form. She transformed into a frostwolf as well only it was white with black markings. I smiled and with that we began to play. I playfully tackled my Mom causing her to growl lightly and shove me off. We played cat and mouse for a few hours before all curling up near a large oak tree. I curled up next to my mom and smiled softly. She looked down at me and asked, "Why so happy?"
"I'm glad that we could spend sometime together...it was nice," I answer causing her to laugh.
"Get some sleep you have class tomorrow right?" She asked causing me to frown and shake my head.
"No I don't have class until 10...I no longer have potions after all," I answer causing her to smile.
I leaned against her before falling asleep. I knew that I would end up seeing my father soon, but that would have to wait...after all I had my mom at the moment. Life felt good...
Okay that's the end of the chapter.
Here's a little Omake to celebrate Law's Birthday Tomorrow!
Omake
I walked into the Hearts Pirates Galley. We had just left the island of Pink and Red Hell. I shook my head as I set about making breakfast. I heard the door open and glanced back to see Shachi. I smiled and turned to speak when he asked, "What are you making for breakfast?"
"The usual," I answer only to see him shake his head, "What's wrong Shachi?"
"It's the captain's birthday," He replied causing me to pause and stare at him, "I thought you knew,"
I shook my head, "No...I guess I was to busy to notice...what should I cook?"
"All of the captain's favorite food," He replied and gave me the list, "You're going to need to get him a present or make him something you know,"
I nod and tried to think of what to make as I summoned a few clones to cook, "I'm not sure what I should give him."
"I know, I was thinking-" He began only for me to glare at him.
"If it's perverted, I will be using you as target practice," Upon seeing him pale, I snort, "Got any non perverted ideas?"
"I do have one, but I don't think you would have time to make it," He answered causing me to look at him in curiosity, "It's...well hard to explain,"
"Just try to explain it," I promete, "Maybe tell me why you think it would be a good present,"
He nodded and told me everything. I listened and felt my eyes widening before I quickly agreed. He handed me something to work with and I was out of the room in seconds. I locked myself into my room and started to work. I got asked various times as to where I was only for me to send them off by telling them it's a new project. I finished just before the party the boys set up and quickly wrap the gift up and walked over to Law's room. Upon not seeing him, I grin and set it on his bed before taking off to the party. I enter the room and greeted everyone. Law sat at the table and was opening present's from everyone. Shachi looked at me and upon not seeing the present asked, "You weren't able to do it where you?"
I shrug and decided to act depressed. I walked up to Law as he opened the last of the presents and gave him a sheepish smile as he asked, "Did you get me anything, Kaileara-Ya?"
"No one told me it would be your birthday," I explained causing him to nod, "Sorry,"
I back away and stood next to Bepo. I could tell that Law was a little disappointed and felt like grinning on the inside. He would be so surprised when he opened my present. I am such a good actress sometimes. I shook it off and watched as the party wore on for a little while before leaving. I decided to clean up my mess that was my room. I cleaned everything up and heard the crew go to their beds. I curled up on mine and decided to try and get some sleep. I was falling asleep as I heard the door open. I smelt Law's scent and nearly grinned, but pretend to be asleep. I heard his footsteps pause at my desk and his sharp intake of breath. I felt him walk over to me ad touch my shoulder. I open my eyes slowly and act like I'm half asleep as I turn to look at him. His Grey eyes were sharp with surprise while his hands held a portrait that I had drawn, sealed, and made practically invincible. He asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you made me something?"
I yawned and mumbled, "You didn't ask. All you asked was if I got you anything. I didn't buy it."
"You made this?" He asked causing me to nod, "Who gave you the photo?"
"Shachi," I answered with a small smile, "He told me that the photo was getting really battered and that you would want to see it in it's former glory, so I made that portrait..." I trailed off as I look up at him, "I did get everything right...Right?"
"You got everything down to the last detail," He murmured and set the portait down before hugging me causing me to gasp, "Thank you,"
I smiled and hugged him back as I murmur, "No problem...after all you deal with me everyday...you deserve some type of reward."
He smirked at me and said, "I think I deserve a little bit more than just a portrait of my family, if that's the way you see it."
I frown before blushing as I realize the double meaning of my words. I was about to say something when he kissed me. I let out a gasp causing him to deepen the kiss. I soon got over my shock and responded as I mentally thank The lovable idiots on the crew for their stunt on the island. He released me to allow us to breath and I murmur, "Shit if I knew you would do that, I would have done it sooner...well not in front of the perverts on your crew because there's no telling what they would do had I said that in front of them."
He chuckled and retorted, "Had you done it sooner, we would have the privacy of my room."
"This is my roo-" I began only for him to transport us into his, "Well that changes things,"
He chuckled and kissed me again I kissed him back before releasing him. He murmured, "Now I have you all to myself."
I grin at him and say, "Happy birthday Law...I guess you get two present's today."
He chuckled and nodded as he kissed me again.
Alright tell me what you guys think and Happy Early Birthday LAW!
