The Prophecy Unfolds Part 2
Hee Heee.. see I made it by Friday.... I'll try to make this one longer though my attention span isn't what it used to be. I want to take this time to thank all those who have reviewed my story both positive and negative... ( I know negative...what's up with that?) anyway I appreciate them and hope you keep reviewing.
Luke's POV
Voice 1:How can this be happening???? It's not possible, is it?
Voice 2: Course not, just like people can't change into wolves and then back again.
On and On the battle raged but Luke finally got a hold of his voices when everyone began to talk again.
"You expect us to just believe someone we've never met before?" Vivian asked
"Viv, she's telling the truth and as soon as she finishes her bit I'll start mine.." Sherman said glancing up from a magazine...( Don't you hate his nonchalance?)
"Mrs. Cates, of course I don't expect you to just take my word...Sophia has a mark... though because she's not eighteen she will have a star at both points... See once she chooses or reaches eighteen, one star will disappear." Maggie explained calmly... she was born and raised to bring Sophia home and she would.... She just knew it.
"Where's this "mark" at?" Vivian spat out in disdain "well Matt??"
"It's above her right pelvic bone... I saw it when the class went swimming." Luke said.
"What the hell..." Matt started
"Luke that was almost a year ago." Sophia stated in disbelief.
"I know but you've been there a lot longer." Luke said grinning.
"Not to break up this lovely moment but could I please continue?" Maggie asked
"When Marie was young, she feared the hunters, more than most, and she hated the thought of being tested so she ran...and ran and ran right into the lion's den... She fell in love with a young man named Donner whom she married... She knew about the skinwalkers but they didn't know about her so she couldn't safely shift anymore... so she didn't because someone inside she was still terrified that the hunters would find her."
"Dad, mom kept secrets... but you always said that mom told us everything." Sophia asked not wanting to believe her mom kept secrets.
"She did tell me Sophia, but we didn't tell you because she also told me that river people weren't "genetic" so to speak and she promised that you weren't in danger." Matt said looking extremely pale.
"And she thought that was true... but obviously it wasn't." She said.
"wait a minute, we still haven't seen this so called mark." Vivian ( I hate to make her the villain but it can't be Sherman, Matt and Luke has to appear protective without disdain so I'm kinda in a bind... sorry) said.
" Sophia please.." Maggie asked as Sophia gently lifted her shirt to reveal a moon with two stars and the whole mark was starkly white compared to the tan of rest of her skin.
Luke sat transfixed as Sophia lifted her shirt... in all his dreams he never imagined her taking her clothes off for this reason...
"I'm pretty sure I'd prefer my reason over this.." Luke thought
"Luke, that's not funny.."Sophia said angrily as she adjusted in the bed.
Everyone looked at him as he realized he had broadcasted his thoughts but from the confused looks of the other two skinwalkers he figured just to Sophia.
Maggie began again sensing the tension between Sophia's father and the boy who had awoken Sophia "I'll have to keep an eye on him" she thought.
Right so when she became pregnant, she was ecstatic and had no idea that Sophia was what she was... Your mother died when you were four correct?" After Sophia nodded Maggie continued.
"Unlike Hunters, river people aren't born with the mark... it shows up when we're five or so... so if your mother died before that..."
"She wouldn't have known before she died." Sherman finished.
"Right but as soon as she turned five and the mark appeared the hunters became aware and started looking for her...as did we.." Maggie finished.
"So how is this asshole Paul involved?" Luke asked fiercely .
"what if I told you he was my son?" Maggie asked wistfully.
"Your son... Paul said his mother died when he was eight." Sophia said in disbelief as Luke looked at her
"They've talked about this... they've known each other like eight months." Luke thought... then wondered if he had broadcasted
Sophia wasn't looking at him so he figured probably not.
"Maggie please continue." Sherman putting down the magazine and crossing his legs as if he were finally interested.
"Paul is my son.... I married a hunter... I didn't know... now we can tell despite their efforts to cover marks but that's not the point."
Everyone in the room could tell this was going to be painful.
"We married and had a son... when he was born all was great but my husband couldn't stand that Paul was neither hunter nor river person... so he thought what good was he.. his own son." Maggie said painfully
"So I imagine he checked with his elders and discovered a normal person could be turned into a hunter with the proper training and if he met the requirements before they were eighteen. So one night he took my son, he took Paul, from our home and I never saw them again... Until about eight months ago when he arrived in Wolf Lake.. We got here about two days before... My elders advised me to simply observe to see where you stood... then when you went on the date.. .we had to intervene."
"Wait so it was you who followed me that night after my date with Paul?" Sophia asked in disbelief...
"no, not technically, I had one of the younger members follow you to see what happened.. Luckily, to our knowledge no transmitter was put on you." Maggie said
"You mean a tracker... why would they need a tracker?" Luke asked confused, "They found her before without it so why can't they now?"
"Good question... see from a distance Sophia's aura is very distinct but here in close range... because Sophia interacts with so many people... some carry a bit of her with them... they get confused. You carry more than most...interesting isn't it.?"
She said good naturedly but didn't see Matt's jaw clench when he heard that.
"What would this tracker look like?"Sophia asked worried
"Well mostly its just a small thing that gets slapped on... However there are rumors that they carry a piece of jewelry that while not a transmitter calls to them..."
"What's it look like?" Matt asked
"It's a tear-dropped shaped pendant with a ruby inside." Maggie asked without missing a beat.
"Well Sophia... have you seen anything like this?" Matt asked his daughter concerned
"No Dad I haven't." Sophia answered with a sigh of relief.
"Good... now I think Sherman will explain the rest." Maggie said sitting down.
Sherman stood up slowly and methodically wiped his palms on his pants and stood up erect and cleared his throat preparing for his big speech.
"Ladies, and gentlemen, a war is coming and the skin walkers are destined to be a part of it."
"Sherman that's ridiculous." Vivian said
"Just listen to this and say it's ridiculous." Sherman said picking up a piece of paper and preparing to read.
"As the enemies invade the town
Battle lines are laid down
Two will join to fight the bad
Wolves in sheep's clothing they are clad
River people are worse than dead
If triumphant the hunters are led
What's the price of this so called war?
An innocent young GIRL!"
"Oh god, I think I'm going to be sick." Sophia said running to the bathroom
"Sophia, wait." Luke said running after her.
"Are you sure there's nothing we could do to prevent this... to protect Sophia?" Matt asked
"Us, no... but there is a part of the prophecy I did leave out." Maggie said.
"What's that.."Vivian asked
"Depending what she chooses and whom she chooses, Sophia may end up with someone the prophecy refers to as "completely different yet, they are one."
(Cut to Sophia and Luke in the bathroom)
"Are you sure you're okay?" Luke asked worried she might be sick
"Yeah, I just needed to get out of there."
"Worried?" (captain obvious?)
"That and scared... what have I gotten everyone involved in.?"
"This isn't your fault. You have to know that."
(Back to the Adults)
"You think it's Luke don't you." Vivian asked
"All I know is that he woke her up out of a very deep coma with only his voice."Maggie said.
"Stop... right now I don't care if she's supposed to end up with Johnny Carson... is her 'situation' going to harm her during the flip?" Matt asked when it dawned on him to do so.
"Oh no, in fact she probably won't experience pain much past the initial cramps... more than likely it will occur almost without her willing it to... Luckily she has her mother's strong spirit." Maggie finished hoping to ease his fears.
"Ms. Mitchell, how do you know so much about my wife?" Matt asked out of nowhere, curious.
"Well, see before I was married, I was Margaret, Maggie, Williams." She said.
"My wife talked about you all the time... you were best friends."
(Sophia and Luke)
"Luke what's going to happen to us, I mean you and me." Sophia asked hoping she didn't reveal her feelings any more than she already had.
"Sophia I don't know what's coming or what's going to happen but I know with every fiber of my being and every beat of my heart that you and I, that we will always be here and will always be together." Luke finished in a whisper and took her hands.
Sophia and Luke look up into each other's eyes and start to lean in for the fairy tale first kiss between first time lovers.
Luke's POV
Oh god when did this conquest become so much more.. when did I fall in love with Sophia Donner?
Oh get off it... you've been in love with this girl ever since you threw sand at her and she threw some back.
Ok, so you're right but does she feel the same?
Sophia's POV
What am I doing? Lucas Cates is the town wild child... how can I seriously be sitting in bathroom getting ready to kiss him.. What am I saying he cares about me... Just stop thinking with your head and go with your heart ya dork.
(End POVs)
Luke and Sophia lean in and Luke lets go of one of Sophia's hands and puts it on her face to caress her cheek. Luke's green eyes (green or brown...can't remember) were the last thing Sophia saw before she closed her eyes and their lips met.
It wasn't like kisses in fairy tales.... It was better... It was as innocent as a kiss could get but it was filled with eleven years of wanting and needing each other and both knew that this wouldn't be the last time they kissed... it couldn't be.
Luke was astonished when Sophia pulled away but soon became worried when he saw the look on her face.
"Sophia, what's wrong?" Luke asked
"We have to get back to the others."
Sophia and Luke ran down the hall and met the four adults as they were running out of the room.
"They've found us... .but how??" Maggie shouted.
"We have to get out of here... now." Vivian said
"Follow me, we'll go out a passage." Sherman shouted
"Wait, they'll just follow Sophia... they obviously figured out how." Matt shouted because now there was a weird sound... almost like drumming that kept getting louder and louder.
"Wait, I have a plan." Luke said and for the first time since coming back the adults looked at Luke and noticed that he and Sophia were holding hands and not just in the petrified friends way
"Well, we don't really have a choice, what's your plan Luke?" Matt asked.
Okay guys tell me what you think... and to the one fan... yes you will eventually find out what Luke said to Sophia... not just yet.... anyway please review... if you're going to be negative then please be gentle.
Thanks
