Chapter #3
I felt the wind on my cheeks. It was very cold that night but I didn't mind. I just wanted to loose my self in the dark sky and stare at those bright stars. Every time I looked at them I couldn't help but wonder if she could see me. Where was Valhalla exactly? I had been there once. All they let me see was the hall of that weird fake hotel. I still remembered how my hope of seeing her was crushed that day. I almost disintegrated the Valkyries that threw me out. It wasn't fair. Last time Bo and my mom were in Valhalla they saw Kenzi, they even saved her. Why couldn't I do that? And there I was on the why again. I finally sat down on the edge of a rooftop. The highest in town. Only then I noticed my phone was ringing. It was Bo. I automatically pressed the red button. I didn't even give her my number. Mark, of course. At least it seemed he didn't reveal anything about my very specific and recent interest in some of Trick's book.
-Hey short stuff...-
I almost fell off by the surprise.
-What are you doing here?-
-Can you at least look at me?-
-How did you even find me?-I asked ignoring her.
-You know...I get why you're mad at Bo, I do...but what did I do to you?-she said sitting besides me.
-Just answer one simple question...if it was Bo who died, wouldn't you be running to certain death if it meant you can save her?-
-No-
-You're lying-
-I'm not...there was a time I'd be ready to be fae-food in a second to save BoBo...but no more-
-Why? What happened?-
-You happened, you dam ass-she said in the sweetest voice.
I turned and look at those big ice-blue eyes. I missed her. I missed her so much I wanted to hug her and never let her go again.
-Kenz...I just...-
-I know, Dagny. And if there was something I could do to bring her back I would-
-There is, Bo saved you, why can't she save her?-
-She told her not to-
-So what? Screw that!-
-You don't understand...she had a good reason-
-Yeah it was her time, it doesn't sound like a good reason to me-
-I'm not talking about that-
She immediately regret saying that, I could tell by the look on her face.
-What are you talking about then?-
-Forget I said anything. I shouldn't have-
-Do you seriously expect me to do that?-
What was she hiding? Why didn't she say anything before?
-Ok listen...when I asked Bo the same questions you're asking me she said Tamsin had a good reason to go-
-What reason?-I insisted getting frustrated.
-She said she couldn't tell me, she promised her she wouldn't tell anyone. That I should just trust her-
-Bullshit!-
-What? You think I'm lying?-she asked offended.
-No I mean that this whole thing is bullshit. And now please leave me the hell alone-I said getting up and spreading my wings.
-For fae-sake Dagny! You're in danger!-
-So I should let you protect me? You don't seem very good at keep people safe, not even the ones you love-
That was a low blow and I knew that. But you know what else was low blow? Not having a mother. So she deserved it, they deserved it. I took out the phone and throw it at Kenzi's feet. Probably it was the reason they found me. Must have hacked my GPS.
-Dagny please don't go...I can't loose you too-
It hurt. It hurt so bad. I wasn't enough mad at her to leave her. On the contrary I wish we could have just gone home together. I would have make Chloe's mind blow again and then we would have all sit on the couch and laugh at some cheesy horror movie like old times. But I couldn't do any of that. If I let her get close, she would have figure out what I was about to do. And then she'd try to stop me. Or worse, she would have wanted to join me. And I wasn't going to risk anybody's life. Only my own. So I got up in the sky and left.
Getting away from that building something curious caught my attention. There was a boy on the sidewalk right ahead. His hair looked like flames in the night, and who knows, maybe they were cause he was fae. And he was looking up, right into my eyes with a wicked smile on his face. I stared at him confused. Did I know him? By the time that question crossed my mind he disappeared. Wherever. I didn't have time for that too. Should I go home? I asked myself.
-Where were you?-asked Chloe when I sat on the couch.
She seemed fine or at least less shocked than an hour ago. There was no sign of Bo.
-I needed some air-
-Oh shit! Did you fly? No wait sorry you can do that only on your last life...-
-Usually-
-What do you mean?-
-I mean that...I'm not a regular valkyrie, I'm the weird kind-
-So you already have your wings?-she asked with so much excitement that I couldn't help but smile.
I got on me feet and do that familiar movement with my back. I heard my wings cut through my skin.
-Wow-she said with glowing eyes.
Chloe kept staring, not realizing how awkward that was. At the certain point I put them away and sat on the couch hoping not to get blood on it.
-Does it hurt?-
-Yeah but just for a bit so...-
-Dagny...-
-What?-
-No I was just saying it...it's still seems surreal, so why are the wings already out?-
-Actually I don't know...it's hard to explain. You know why Valkyries have wings on their last life?-I asked feeling how that conversation was surreal to me too.
-Wings mean they're at their most powerful point in life-
-Right, so in my case it's like I've already reached it...I'm just nine years old and I'm more powerful than a Valkyrie that has lived for millennial ...who knows, maybe this is my first and last life-
-Well welcome to the club, darling-
She didn't commented on how weird I seemed to be, instead she pointed out the thing that made me like her. I laugh and enjoyed that moment. I didn't know if I was ever going to come back for one of them in the upcoming future.
-Are you ok?-
I had stopped laughing and only then I was realizing I was really going to miss Chloe.
-Not exactly-
-I heard before-
-What?-
-I wasn't exactly asleep, just kind of in between resting and fainting... so yeah, I heard you and Bo fighting-
-Where is she?-
-She left...she wanted me to give you message-
-Let me guess...we will protect you even if you won't let us...we'll stay by your side no matter what...or another cheesy version of that?-
-Well yeah...actually you said her exact words the first time-
-Shocking-
-Can I tell you something?-
-Listen I know I'm in dang...-
-No that's not...I just wanna to tell you...you better kick whoever ass is coming for you otherwise you can go pride yourself about being a badass Valkyrie somewhere else-
We both smile and then start laughing.
-Netflix?-
-Pop corn?-
And the night went on as it should have from the beginning.
Five years ago. Home.
Should I leave a note? At least to Kenz. She was sleeping on the couch with Geraldina on her arms. She fell asleep polishing it as many other nights before. I got close to her, moved the sword and slowly put a blanket on her. She didn't even twitch. I could have probably be having a party in the house and she wouldn't have noticed. And I realized I couldn't leave any message. Cause that wasn't right. Leaving the person that raised me and read to me Harry Potter every single night didn't deserve to be left that way. But I didn't have a choice. I needed to find the one that was supposed to do what she did in the first place. My mom.
