Chapter 21
Riley's POV
I sighed, hearing my baby cry in her room, I felt horrible for getting on to her but I couldn't help it.
I forced myself to walk away and let her cry. My heart ached, why had I done that? Why did I react so awful towards her? She was human, she was in love. Why did I do that? I touched my wedding ring, when it clicked.
Damion...
Daniel and Arya reminded me of Damion and me., the sting returned to my heart. I couldn't believe it. I was jealous of my own daughter, that made me feel worse. What kinds of a mother..
"Riles?" I jumped a mile when I heard Glinny's voice. I turned to see her red eyes. She looked like she had been crying for hours. I forgot about what happened eariler and hugged my sister
"Glinny what's wrong?" I asked worried sick. She started crying again and I felt the hot tears on my shoulder
"Lin...shes gone..i don't know where she is.." my heart sunk and i hugged my sister tighter.
'Its going to be okay, we will find her. I promise you Glinny she will be okay" I felt horrible, this was not good at all. Where ever Lin was it was not good.
"Come on lets go see what we can do." I said leading her into my room. I looked around for a sword or anything when I saw Glinny grab a small scrap book before sitting down on the bed. I smiled softly at her.
"Find something you like sis?" She nodded quietly looking through the old pictures and notes I had written and kept. I sat down beside her trying to smile at the memories, and pushing back the heart ache I felt. Seeing my sister smile softly brought warmth to my heart.
"Everything was so much easier back then...so much easier" she whispered thinking back. I could tell by her voice she was deep in thought. I rubbed her arm gently.
'I know, who knew..you ruler of oz. I'm, ruler of Gillikin..." I smiled softly thinking back to when we used to just have fun together. Picking dresses out, doing each other's make up, and staying up so late at night. It seemed so long again, like it had been decades since that happened.
I saw a tear fall down her cheek when she saw a picture of Lin and her, the day Lin was born. The very day she had to give her up. Glinny touched the picture fighting more tears
"I think that was the hardest day of my life...she looks beautiful without her marks." I saw her smile to herself. I knew what she was thinking. She wanted her girl to have a normal life. Not be gone held by some evil woman.
"We will get her back, Lin will be alright I promise Glinny" I said softly. She nodded and I hugged her tight
"Everything will be alright, this will all be over soon" she hugged me tight. I felt now I was more connected back with my sister. I owe her so much and I would always be there for her . I knew she would do the same for me no matter what.
Our family would be back together and this war would be over. I just knew it.
Megan's POV
My mind felt hazy and exhausted as I appeared in the woods of the Eastern Uplands. I couldn't get Lin out of my head. The connection was so distant that it hurt me. That was never good, and Kerry...she didnt speak to anyone. Fiyero or Taye..took her to the human world to search for Idina.
I sighed seeing the fear and pain in Kerry's eyes the minute I had found her against the wall. It was like nothing was working any more everything falling and crashing into ruins. I didnt know how much more of this, any of us, or all of oz could take. I had so many questions in my head., but none had been answered.
I needed to go somewhere...
I felt myself walking towards the Underground, the secret protection service of Oz. The name spoke for itself since the entire place was in secret underground tunnels that stretched as far as Qualding. There was no denying that I felt more at home when I was there in the Underground, I had told Glinda that once when were we still there and she found it very interesting since I had never been there before. Dimitir really was curious when I told him one night, cause..he felt the same way too.
Was there a connection there? I didn't know all I know is that I can't fight the urge to go back there. I have been under so much stress that I felt like I had to go there, if I ever wanted any peace.
Finally I found the door to the underground, a old worn camouflage door to look like a base of a giant old oak tree. My fingers gently traced the outline of the door and I closed my eyes. Images rushed over and over in my mind. Running through the tunnels to find him...to be with the one I loved. I gasped and pulled my hand away.
Was that...No it couldn't be...
I shook my head and walked inside down the wooden steps to the tunnels. No one was around much, well not right now at least. Most of the guards were working in the army now since the danger had decreased in the past month.
It didnt seem like it was that long ago...
"Well well, what's my beautiful wife doing here?" I jumped to hear Dimitir's voice. I turned and let out a breathe of relief.
"Oh honey you scared me. I...what am I doing here? What are you/" I raised my eyebrow with a slight smirk, which he returned.
"Well, I came here to find a certain book someone forgot." I looked to see the story of Avea and Lucas in his hands. Its cover still looking worn even though Dimitir took the best care of it he could. I smiled softly thinking about my ancestor. It still had so many questions than answers.
"Honey, Megan you alright?" He said softly noticing I had spaced out. I shook my head
" dear I'm fine" he gave me a look and pulled me close.
"Honey what ever this book says shouldn't matter" he said it so softly and comforting. It made me relax for the first time in forever. I laid my head against his shoulder not really sure why the book bothered me so much. Maybe it was just the fact I never knew my mother, or father. Maybe I just wanted them and that's why I wanted answers. I felt Dimitir rub my back
"Here love" He sat us down at the table near by and opened the book, to a certain page. I leaned over the table to get a closer look. I could never bring myself to look further in the book. But I guess now my curious drive for answers were over powering me. I saw a long line of a family tree and a few pictures. Dimitir smiled and picked up a picture handing it to me.
"This I believe is what you were looking for. It took a little bit but I found it for you love" I looked at him confused but took the picture in my hand.
In the picture was a young man and woman, with a small week old baby in their arms stuck in the middle between the two. I flipped the picture and gasped to see the writing on the back
Kale and Sienna Hilty with their baby girl Megan
I teared up looking at Dimitir. "?"
"I looked through the Upland records." I literally jumped over the table and kissed him deeply.
"Oh Dimitir you are the best husband and man I have ever seen. I dont know what I would do without you' he smiled and pulled me on his lap.
"I dont know what I would do with out you my angel" he whispered as e continued to kiss.
Lin's POV
I stared in horror at Talley, no it couldnt be Talley. There was no way... Yet it was. Daken held me close as Zandra got closer to me with Talley by her side.
"Welcome Miss Linda! I see you noticed Young Talley has joined me. Such a shame for your dear friend Idina" I just stared at her shocked. She smirked looking at Daken. or...was he really Daken?
I didn't know and it scared me. Daken left me to stand beside his mom, his eyes staring into mine. He slowly out stretched his hand dark magic swirling around it as I heard a melody. It was so soft and relaxing it made me want to reach out for Daken.
"That's right Linda, no more chest pain, no more drama. Just peace with Daken forever" Talley said smirking. It didnt sound right but the music had my attention so much I didnt even recongize the change in her voice.
Darkness stirs and wakes the imagination, Silently the senses abandon their defenses.
Daken stepped closer his other hand touching my cheek making me close my eyes enjoying it.
I felt myself step forward, towards the Music of the Night.
