Hey everyone, just wanted to thank you guys fro your wonderful reviews and reading my story, it is well appreciated.
Chapter 30
Lin's POV
I think my skin is on fire. Burning every bit of the top of my hands and wrists. I rolled
over onto my stomach to cover my hands thinking maybe that it might dull the pain just a
bit. I was wrong, each time the burning would grow I would sob harder, and Mom would
get even more worried. "Megan can you take away some of the burning?" Mom asked
sounding terrified. I could not see Megan but I could feel her taking some of my alarm and
worry from me. "Ouch, oh gosh I can't take it from her. I felt it for maybe a minute but
for some reason I can't Glin." Megan explained sounding so sorry that she couldn't. "Lin,
please be alright." mom begged pulling me up and into her small arms. My head was lying
on her chest but my hands were tucked under my armpits, trying to hid them. Then I felt a
dim in the burning. It lessened with each second. My cries slowed and I breathed in relief.
"It's gone," I said in surprise. I lifted my head and looked at Mom. The berry juice must
have healed her completely because she looked as healthy as you could get but her eyes
were red and wet from crying. "It's gone, are you sure?" she asked sounding surprised. I
nodded when we both looked down to my hands and wrists. I signed and pulled them out
from my armpits gently, only to gasp when I got a full look at them. I don't think any of
our eyes could have gotten any bigger, my heart stopped for a second, my mind went
crazy with questions. Because wrapping around my wrists and covering the tops of my
hands to the top of my knuckles were more enchanting marking. But they were different
then the first time I had gotten them. They were so detailed. On my wrists they looked like
a wrist band with light blue fire on the inside while on my hands were two beautiful stars,
each one identical, each point was cut in half, one half emerald, the other pink lines
detailed to look like outlines of fire. The pattern continued all around the inside of the
start but in the center was a swirl of the light blue flames. "I-I d-don't understand." I
stammered looking at Mom and Elphie who both had one hand covering their mouths in
shock. Megan left Dimitri's embrace and looked over my hands. "Lin, there so beautiful."
she said examining them closely. Then her eye's got wide when they shot up to my
forehead. "They look just as beautiful as your forehead marks." She breathed. My mind
could not completely grasp hold of what was happening. "W-What does it mean?" I asked
sounding very confused. I looked to Megan then to Mom and Dad. There faces shown
worry but also curiosity. Mom's arm went around my shoulder, "Elphie, do you think you
have any clue of what these marks mean?" Mom asked. Elphie signed and shook her head.
"Honestly Glin, I have no idea." I looked to Elphie and said, "Well, on the plus side
Mom's better." This made everyone laugh. Mom yanked me into her arms for a warm
hug, "And it was all thanks to you." She said then kissed my cheek. "Hey, I think I just
figured something out." Jen said with a smile. "You remember when Lin first beat
Morrible and Boq. Well then her forehead marks got added to then as well. Maybe where
she defeated Morrible again that is the way to show that she is special. So now has marks
on her wrists and hands." Jen's theory wasn't a bad one but there was still holes in it.
Like does that mean there is something completely different about me than everyone else?
"Well Jen, I guess we are just going to have to wait and see." Megan said with a giggle.
Dimitri grinned at her and wrapped his arm around her waist. She looked at him with great
love. "But in the mean time, let's just be happy that everyone we love is safe and sound."
He said pulling her into a kiss. Mom pulled me close and whispered in my ear, "Now I
know how you feel when your father and I kiss in front of you." I laughed pulling Mom
closer in my arms. It was so good to be home.
Sadly we only have two more chapters left. But hey then we can get on with the third story. Anyway I hope you have enjoyed this new chapter.
