The Unwanted Luna
Chapter 45

Amelia

Darkness. That's all I see when I open my eyes. I get up and turn in circles. Looking around. There was nothing. Just the cold and an endless abyss of darkness.

What was going on? And where the hell am I. Try to think back. Trying to remember how I got here in the first place. Nothing was making sense.

I begin to move. Hoping and praying that I will find something or someone. Anything to tell me or indicate where I was.

Where are the rest? Where did everyone go? I wondered. That's when it hits me. The memory of fighting with Agron and the forsaken. Did we win or did we lose? And if we did win, then what was I doing here? Shouldn't I be back in the pack celebrating?

I freeze in my tracks when a memory hits me. I was just about to end Agron, about to finish the war and claim victory, when someone else joined the fight. Someone stronger. With raw power emitting from her. She told me her name was Khaos. That she was a primordial deity. I had never witnessed such power. Not even from the higher up gods and goddess. She seemed like she was charged up. Probably more powerful than anyone I have encountered before.

I fall on my knees. Tears falling down my eyes when I realize why I was here. I had lost. Khaos had done the impossible and killed me. Something that I thought would never happen. I couldn't even start to comprehend how she did it.

My sobs racked my body. I was unable to stop the crashing pain of failure. I had failed everyone, but most importantly, I had failed Tristan.

With that kind of being beside him, Agron would be unstoppable. Who knew the kind of damage he was already causing on earth? I feared for everyone I loved. Feared for my little boy. Who was going to protect him from that maniac?

The only one that was standing between him and Agron was me, but I was no longer alive. I could no longer protect him from Agron and the chaos that was about to descend on earth. Agron would destroy him and everyone that had sided with me. "Lia?" I'm startled.

"Oh thank goodness. I thought I had lost you too, Onyx" I whisper in relief. "How come you're still with me though? And where the hell have you been?"

Not that I was being ungrateful, but I didn't understand. Usually, when we die, our beast move on to what we call Sion. It was a sort of paradise for our kind. The beast spirits stay there as they wait to be reincarnated. In simple terms, Sion was kind of a waiting room for them. "I'm not sure" she replied.

I was about to ask her more questions when the darkness cleared and I saw Nolan and Xavier. They weren't really there, since the image just looked to be smoky and not that clear. So my thought was that it was a projection.

They were both a mess. Each of them dealing with their grief in a different way. The one that really worried me though was Nolan.

I see his interaction with Selene, then his interaction with Bianca. I see and witness his hate for her and even without hearing what they're talking about, I know he's planning to take his anger out on her. It's written all over his face. "Oh Nolan, please don't take the path of destruction" I whisper to no one in particular.

I know Nolan. He's angry and in pain now. He will use Bianca as his punching bag, but once he has gotten it out of his system, he will drown in guilt. He may dislike Bianca but he is a good man and whatever he will do to her, the guilt later on will sink its claws so deep he won't be able to handle it.

The image changes and it shows Bianca. After leaving my room, she rushes to hers before closing it. She falls onto her bed and cries, curling into a fetal position. I can't tell for how long she cries, but it's a while. When her tears run out she stands up and goes to her dresser. She takes a picture and studies it before fresh tears start leaking from her eyes. When I see the picture, my heart catches. It was the last picture we took together before our parents died and everything went to shit.

I feel her pain. Her sorrow, but I don't know how to deal with that. How am I supposed to deal with the emotions of a sister who turned her back on me and hurt me in the worst way possible? It was too much for me.

The scene changes. Showing Xavier's room. He is on the bed, lying down with Tristan in his arms. Father and son. Despite them being asleep, you can clearly see the strain of grief on their faces. There are eye bags under their eyes.

Tristan starts to thrust around, so much that he wakes Xavier up. He tries to shake him awake but nothing happens. Tristan just keeps trembling, his eyes moving fast behind his lids. Xavier holds him close, not knowing what to do. When the trembling stops, Tristan opens his mouth in what I presume is a scream before he wakes up. He looks around terrified before his eyes land on his father. The moment his eyes connects with those of Xavier, he burst into tears.

The scene tears my heart. I hate seeing my boy like that and I hate that I can't do anything about it.

The scenes change, but this time they flash rapidly, showing me Selene, then Sofi and Freya. Then my kingdom and my people. They were all mourning me. All of them falling apart.

The last scene I am shown is of Agron and Khaos. They have already started their plan. Had already wiped two entire packs before bringing all of them back as the forsaken. Shit!!

"We need to get out of here" I tell Onyx with urgency.

I was pacing. My heart beating rapidly.

"How?"

"I honestly have no fucking idea"

I couldn't let Agron destroy the world, because that meant that everyone I loved and cared about would be lost. I can't have that. I can't lose Tristan.

"Before I found myself back with you, I saw the fates. They said congratulations, they didn't think you had it in you. They also told me that your real journey has just begun and that you have a lot to overcome before you're ready." What the hell was she talking about? She was making no sense.

"I don't know what they're congratulating me for. In case you haven't noticed I failed and now we are trapped in this damn place" I shout feeling frustrated

"Look, I am just as confused as you, but they wouldn't have said that if they didn't have a plan or something, right?" she asks hopefully.

Gosh I hated the fates and their inability to give you straight answers. It always seems like all the talk about is in fucking riddles. It can literally drive anyone insane trying figure out they meant.

I start pacing. Feeling on edge. My heart beating like it was about to jump out of my body.

'Think Amelia' I tell myself.

I needed to find a way to get out of this place. I searched the place where my power was always buzzing but it was damn empty. I feel a pang at losing a part of me. I felt like I wasn't whole. Like a piece of me was missing. Even if I manage to get out, how was I supposed to fight Agron and Khaos? They were powerful, especially together, while right now I was just a mere hellhound.

"Did they say anything else? Maybe about my powers" I ask Onyx softly.

"No, just what I told you" she replies.

I sigh. Already feeling defeated.

Sitting down on the cold ground, I start breathing in and out. Trying to calm down my anxiety just so I could think clearly. I was beginning to make progress when all of a sudden the ground beneath me started shaking. I jump to my feet when the place where I was seated starts to crack.

"What's happening?" Onyx ask in agitation.

I don't get the chance to answer when bright light fills the room, making my eyes burn. The source of the light continued to enlarge while I shielded my eyes. I was about turn around and flee the blinding light when a familiar voice freezes me on the spot. "Hello Amelia" he says in a dark voice. "It took a while but I finally found you"

Oh shit!
