Cursed By The Moonlight - Chapter 104
“What is it? A nightmare?” Damien asked Shelly.
The couple was already resting inside their tent when the girl woke up in the middle of the night.
“I-I had a vision.” She muttered.
“A vision? Maybe it’s just a dream.” Damien frowned.
“No. It’s a vision. I need to talk to Amaris.” Shelly answered while trying to stand up.
Damien took a deep breath, grabbing Shelly’s arm.
“Can you tell me what it is first? It’s in the middle of the night, Shelly. The Alpha and Luna might be doing something at this time. Can’t you hear the Alpha’s howls?” Damien said, slightly annoyed.
They haven’t been a couple for a long time. It was just a week ago when they accidentally met and found each other. They were supposed to mate the other night, but Shelly suddenly blabbed about having weird visions.
“This is more important than anything else, Damien. But you are right, and I apologize for not telling you. I know I should have since you are my mate. To be honest, I’m not sure if I could trust you when we first met. I know you don’t like to be mated by a blind woman, so I was being careful.”
“It’s fine. I totally understand. But from now on, I want us to be honest with each other. No secrets. I am your mate, and you are mine. Don’t ever say that I don’t like you because that’s not true. Now, tell me what’s happening to you.”
Shelly slightly bit her lips and looked at Damien straight into his eyes.
“A few days before Phoebus was abducted, he said he took me in because I have a gift. He told me I am not an ordinary Terran and might belong to a family of seers. He said he would open my powers, and after he did something to me, I started having dreams about the Alpha and Luna, but it was more about Amaris. I told Phoebus about it so he asked me to look for them when something happened to him. Now that I think about it, it seemed he already knew that he would be taken to Tartarus.”
Damien was just listening to Shelly. She was a blind girl with a doll-like face. Both her eyes were white, but it didn’t lessen her beautiful aura.
“When I met you, I also thought that you were just ordinary, but I felt something different towards you when I held your hand. I know you’re special.” Damien responded.
Shelly smiled when she heard the word special from her mate.
“You said you started having dreams about Zion and Amaris. Are they the only ones in your dreams?” Damien asked.
Shelly shook her head and continued.
“No. I saw you and the others.”
Before she could continue, Damien grabbed her hand, pulling her out of their tent.
“Where are we going?”
“To Zion and Amaris. I think everyone should hear it too. I don’t want you to repeat it to them. You looked like in pain.”
Shelly was surprised. She thought she could hide it from Damien that she always felt her whole body in pain when she’s having visions.
Damien woke everyone, and they gathered inside Zion and Amaris’ tent. He knew his sister, Diana, was pissed because he woke her up in the middle of the night.
Funny. They’re vampires, one of the creatures of the night, but they love sleeping when the sun goes down. His sister always had a schedule of sleep, especially now that she got kids, and she didn’t like it to be disturbed.
“So what do you want to tell us? It’s midnight, and you said it can’t wait, so this better be important.” Diana ranted.
Damien looked at Shelly and held her hand, reassuring her to tell everyone about her dreams.
Shelly told them about what the Prorociste, Phoebus, told her.
“So you’re a seer. That’s good.”
Damien glared at Diana when she said those words.
“What? I am complimenting your girlfriend, Damien. It was already in the past; I don’t hold grudges.” Diana commented.
Amaris frowned, and just like everyone, she got confused.
“That’s another story. Let’s focus on Shelly first.” Damien said while gently squeezing Shelly’s hand.
“I dreamed of Zion and Amaris. In my dream, I saw Amaris in Tartarus. You were standing on top of a mountain, all covered in blood. But when I looked closer, it wasn’t a mountain but a pile of dead bodies. I saw everyone in this tent, all dead. In Amaris’ right hand, you were holding a sword with roses and thorns around your arm. In your left hand, you were holding someone’s head.”
Shelly bit her lips when she suddenly felt the pain again. Damien wanted to stop her from telling them about her dreams, but he knew Shelly would still continue. All he could do for her was not to let go of her hand.
“I-It was Zion’s head. Amaris was crying, and it was raining blood.”
Amaris couldn’t believe what she had just heard. Does it mean she would kill everyone, including Zion? She started glancing at them. They just met and spent some time together, but she felt like they had already bonded a long time ago. She wouldn’t let anyone hurt them, especially if it was her.
“We’re not sure if that’s really Ari. It could be Cronus using her body in Tartarus. We can’t jump to a conclusion since Shelly’s dream is incomplete. It only showed her partial details. She didn’t see Amaris actually killing all of us.” Maxine commented.
Amaris saw the others nodding in agreement, but she was still worried.
“Can you only see visions in your dreams? Have you tried looking into someone’s future in another way, like touching their hands?” Zoila asked.
“I did once, but it wasn’t intentional. I touched someone’s hand by accident, and saw that werewolf’s future.” Shelly answered.
“You said you dreamed of Zion and Amaris. Is that all? You saw Amaris holding Zion’s head. How about Zion? Is there anything other than seeing his head?” It was the Elven Prince who asked.
Zion glared at the prince. “Are you happy that I might be killed in the future?”
“I’m asking because that’s what she said. She saw you and Ari, but it’s more like it’s just about Ari.” Prince Elwyn answered.
“I had another dream about the Alpha, but it’s the same with Ari. I saw him standing on top of the dead bodies, holding a sword and a head. The Luna’s head.” Shelly exclaimed.
“That’s ridiculous! Are you saying one of them will die in the end?” Maxine asked in astonishment.
“I-I’m not sure. I’m sorry I cannot answer that. I could see someone’s future, but I believe it will only happen depending on the actions of those involved.” Shelly answered.
Amaris was surprised by Shelly. She smiled slightly at what Damien’s mate said. She chuckled, which also surprised everyone.
“I’m sorry. It’s weird hearing those words from a seer. They usually believed from their visions and would insist that it would really happen.” Amaris explained.
“I’m not that kind of seer. I didn’t even believe Phoebus when he said that I could see the future. Even when I started dreaming about you and the Alpha, I didn’t acknowledge it as a vision or prophecy, so I kept quiet. But now that I saw blood and deaths, I think you should know about it.” Shelly answered.
“Thank you, Shelly.” Amaris smiled.
“You said you could see someone’s future when you touched their hands. Can we try that? Maybe you could see more of it.” Cole suggested.
“I can try.” Shelly said.
“W-Wait. Aren’t you in pain? There’s something you’re not telling me again.” Damien frowned.
Everyone didn’t say a word and looked at Shelly, waiting for her answer.
“Shelly, you could tell us. Are you in pain? Why are you in pain?” Amaris asked.
Shelly sighed deeply before answering.
“Phoebus said that I am not an ordinary seer. I could also get information by touching an object or if I’m in a certain place. I could also see ghosts and talk to dead people. I could serve as a medium to reach out to lost souls. I could see both the past and the future. But using those powers was draining my energy, making my whole body painful, especially my head. The Prorociste said I was not born blind, but because of my abilities, I lost sight of the present.”
Damien was shocked and felt suddenly sad for his mate. He thought he could seek help from doctors if Shelly could undergo an eye transplant or find a way for her to get cured. He thought she was born blind, but her powers blinded her.
“Let’s forget what Cole suggested.” Amaris said.
“N-No!”
