Chapter two
BPOV:
Saying goodbye to my parents was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I left the throne room with quiet tears falling down my face. Angela was no where to be seen, probably gathering her things for the travels. She can not come with me, she must go alone in order to be safe. I briskly walked to my room and changed from my glittering gowns to my travel clothes. I wore a simple white shirt with long billowing sleeves, a black leather bodice that laced up in the front and a long billowing black skirt. Over that I wore a simple black cape made of a special weave that allowed travel in the woods without catching on trees or brush, it tied at the front around my neck and fell to my ankles. Last was my boots, they were flat at the heel and fairly easy to walk in, and made to keep warm. I was dressed for a long and dangerous travel. Hopefully, Carlisle wouldn't be hard to find. I smiled thinking of the last time I saw the vampire. He was always so kind and gracious. He did not agree with Aro taking my mother and had helped them escape, (something Aro does not know about) . He and only he knows of the portals whereabouts. I remember Carlisle telling me that if I had ever needed anything, that he would always be there for me to turn to. Walking out to the portals I said a quiet prayer to Rhiannon and the Earth Mother that Carlisle had not forgotten about that promise. With one last look at Faylinn, my home, I stepped through the portal and left everything I have ever loved behind.
The portals opened up deep into the woods in the human world. I breathed in the cold, bitter air and gathered my thoughts. First I needed to find Carlisle. After that I don't really have a plan. Other then to find a way to kill Aro and all of his followers. I looked up into the midnight sky and saw the moon, full and ripe in all of her glory. Her presence gave me a new strength to finish this once and for all.
To find Carlisle I needed to recite a finding spell. I grabbed a pinch of salt from the pouch I always kept under my skirts and sprinkled it in a small circle around me. I closed my eyes and centered myself, making my self one with the elements. I had to be completely tuned into nature. Once I cleared my mind and felt the vibrations of the Earth Mothers power under my feet and the Moon Goddesses power humming in the air I opened my mouth and began the incantation. " Earth Mother hear my plea, open a path to the one I seek. Moon Goddess hear my cry, cast your light for my eyes. I ask for your aid in my time of need, I call to you with all of me," I felt their presence stronger, pushing and pulsing against my skin, their power bringing my breath in quick gasps and bringing the hairs on me neck to stand at attention. I opened my eyes slowly and said a prayer of thanks that they had listened. There in front of me was a clear path lit by the rays of the moon. I gathered my hair into a high ponytail and pulled the hood over my head before I started on my journey to Carlisle.
