Destiny Dreams And Demons - Chapter 27 Abby 27

“So, what now?” I asked Silas. “I believe you. I know and accept that I was Dru. I am not Dru anymore but I was and I am the new life promised to her as a reset.” I stopped to let that sink in. “So do I become a Kethra? Are there any Kethra still alive? I thought Drume and Lena were it.”

Silas smiled and I stopped, figuring he had some of those answers. He looked at me and said, “It was your plan, what was the next step?”

I didn’t even have to think about it. “I drew some vials of blood to be used. I stashed them where only the Gods and I would know.”

At that, Silas reached into his pocket and pulled out one of the vials that I had hid. I furrowed my eyebrows trying to figure out how he had it. As if he were reading my thoughts, he said, “Ares.” I laughed at the thought but didn’t say anything. “He came to me a couple of months ago, he said that you were beginning to open your mind and would make yourself apparent to me and that I needed to use this to turn you back into a Kethra.” He finished with a smile.

“Okay,” I said but then had more questions. “If I become a Kethra again, will I remember being Dru or will it be like it is now, someone else’s memories?”

“I can’t really say,” Silas answered. “I have never been in a situation like this. I don’t think anybody really has.”

“Alright, let’s do this,” I said confidently though I was terrified. I didn’t know if I was really ready but Ares thought I was so I trusted he was right.

Silas nodded and pulled out a syringe from his doctor bag that he had set by the door when he had come in. I hadn’t even seen it until now.

“You become a doctor, again?” I asked.

“Yes,” Silas said tenderly. “I went back to school and got a new doctorate degree. Perk of being immortal,” he laughed, shrugging his shoulders.

“True,” I chuckled nervously as I watched him draw the blood into the syringe.

“Are you ready?” he asked as he made sure that the syringe plunger was in the right place. I nodded, unable to speak. “I’m not sure how much is needed but hopefully this is enough.” At that, he stuck the syringe into my neck, directly into my jugular.

It didn’t take long to kick in. The room became dimmer and fuzzy as if I were drunk. I felt Adam and Silas grab my arms and lead me back to the bed. I sat and the room began to spin faster and faster. I felt like I was going to be sick from the spinning but instead the darkness that had dimmed the room snapped into my sight and my entire body completely, leaving me feeling nothing.

I felt suspended in midair like I was floating. There were reddish tendrils of light flashing dimly around me like lightning crawling up the walls of the nothingness that I found myself in. The lightning got brighter and more violent as it began to close in on me. Then one of them struck me and I felt the life in it. Then another struck and I felt the exhilaration again.

All of the tendrils of lightning struck me at once. I felt an unimaginable amount of life and energy filling me to the brim. It felt as if I was about to explode, then the light flashed and my eyes shot open.

I sat up in a start. I looked around and realized that I was in the bedroom at Dru’s house. I could see everything clearly, much more clearly than I had in my mortal life. My mind on the other hand, was foggy and disoriented, trying to organize my thoughts into a single timeline.

I felt alive and full of energy like I could run around the world in a day. I smiled at the thought and my fangs caught my lower lip. Everything clicked in my mind into its place.

I was Drusilla. I was a six hundred and sixty-one year old Kethra. I was half demon. A Warrior. A Champion of the Gods, named so by Ares, God of War, himself. I was nearly an indestructible master of war. But I was also half human. I was Abby, a widow. A dreamer. A writer.

As it hit me all at once, I realized nothing would ever be the same.
