That night, I was exhausted! I slumped up to my bed after muttering a quick goodnight to me friends. I was so tired... People had kept asking me question after question, some even wanted me to play for them! And every time someone asked I would just reply, "not right now. Maybe later."
I didn't have a single moment to myself, and I could not wait to crawl into bed and forget all my troubles.
Dont get me wrong, it felt wonderful to finally have someone tell me I was good at playing. I was so used to just assuming I was decent, that I knew how to play, but I wasn't anything special. Now everyone thought I was fantastic, and it was a strange feeling for me.
I changed into my pajamas and looked down at my bed.
No mystery note.
I sighed, my heart filled with relieve. I really wasn't in the mood for another dream since my brain really can't handle much more information.
But as soon as I had closed my eyes, the formiliar feeling of being pulled away from real life consumed me, and I knew what I didn't want to happen, was about to happen.
Elouise was sitting face to face it's her stunning young daughter, holding her tiny hands in her larger ones.
"Well, darling. I know you dont remember what we talked about last time, but the older you will, alright? You shouldn't be confused. You won't remember this later." Child Ellie nodded, barely able to keep her eyes open and just accepting everything her mother would say to her. She had had a busy day, preparing for the next night. Her first turn. And the fact that it was so soon was definitely taking a toll on the young ones body.
"Just stay awake a little while longer, alright baby?" The mother smoothed her hand down Ellie's hair, smiling slightly and looking into her small blue eyes. They would be stunning when she was older.
"Just listen to what I'm saying. When you get older, there will be a time when you have to grow up without us, me and your dad I mean. And I want you to know everything you need to survive." Elouise wrapped an arm around her little child, trying to keep her awake.
"This won't last much longer. Please stay awake." The child was having great difficulty keeping her eyes open, but she looked at her loving mother, using all her might to stay away from the temptation of sleep.
"There is a group of werewolves that your father and I lead. We are called The Pures."
"The Pures... What an odd name..." The kid mused, but still focused on her mothers voice.
"When you get older, they will try to contact you, alright? Don't be afraid. If they try to contact you before you get these messages, I apologize for the confusion. Now Elektra. You must not be afraid of The Pures. They are there to help you, and will be there for you in your time of great need. All you need to do to summon them is press your wand to the mark on your neck, okay dear? The mark will help you. Please remember this!" She pleaded while looking at her half asleep daughter. she stood up, carrying her child in her arms, pulling back the sheets of the bed and placing the small werewolf on it.
"I know you can do this, baby. You can save us all."
The dream faded away, and I opened my eyes. I was still in my bed. Safe at Hogwarts, Lily and Alice fast asleep.
But what had changed was more important then safety.
The notes weren't from Fuego or any other villain trying to reach me.
Its was The Pures trying to reach me
Everything made more sense now. The notes were good, not dangerous. But that didn't mean I wanted to get more of them. I just wanted to be left alone, I wanted to be normal.
I snuggled farther down into my sheets and closed my eyes, willing myself to go back to sleep. Who was I kidding? I'd never be normal. And there was nothing I could do to stop The Pures from contacting me or to stop the dreams from my mother from coming. All I could do was wait until "my moment of great need" arose, and them I would press my wand to the flames on my neck. Maybe then I could get some answers.
But for now, I would pretend nothing was wrong. I would laugh with my friends, work hard in my classes and ignore all Slytherines. I would push through all my troubles and just wait for everything to fall into place. I wouldn't force anything to happen, I would simply live my life.
And Wait.
Lots and lots of waiting.
