Blue Moon (16 page)

“I’m ok Dom. I just can’t wait to get home,” I tell him whilst pulling him into the bedroom and shutting the door behind him.

“So you’re not upset that Dallah will be bonded to Richard?”

“No, she won’t be bonded to him,” I tell him confidently.

“I knew you were up to something, which is good, because we have been going crazy with strategies, we just need to find a chink in his armor, and then we can take that son of a bitch down.” He tells me with stress playing on his handsome face.

“I need your help Dom; will you help me with something?”

“Yeah, what is it?” He asks with a grin.

“I need to find a dagger.”

“Dagger! What for?” He asks with worry, as he probably thinks that I’m going to rush at Richard with it, he wouldn’t be far off.

“It's ok Dom, just trust me
, I know what I’m doing, this could be that chink we need.”

“Ok, come on then,” He stands up pulling me with him.

“Where are we going?”

“To get you a dagger,” He tells me simply as we exit the bedroom and head off down the long hallway to his room.

Entering his bedroom, he closes the door, and looks around before pulling a duffel bag from the wardrobe.

“Come here Zara,” He tells me from where he is bent on his knees looking into the bag.

Rushing over, I crouch down to look inside,

“Holly shit GI Dom!” I jokingly nickname him, seeing his stash.

He has guns, knife’s grenades; everything you could want to do some serious damage
with is all under his bed.

“You will find a dagger in there,” He tells me with a smirk.

“No shit. What are you planning on doing with all this?”

“Just a precaution, nothing for you to worry about,”

“Uh huh, I believe you, many wouldn’t,” I tell him with a grin.

Scanning through the bag of weapons something catches my eye and as I put my hand inside to take a hold of it, I start to feel really hot and dizzy.

“Dom I ...” this is when darkness takes me.

“ZARA!” I hear Dom’s voice call to me, but I cannot see him, I am surrounded by a white hazy light.

“Dom?” I moan through the pain in my head, I feel like I’m coming around from concussion.

“Daughter, come to me, relax and let me take you,” A woman’s gentle voice coaxes.

Looking around I try to breathe through the dizziness. As soon as I take a deep breath and force myself to relax, I see the image of a woman sitting on the edge of a stunning water fountain, with a statue in the middle of a naked woman holding an infant.

“Where am I?” I ask her gently.

My mouth opens slowly when I get to see her clearly. Her beauty is
mesmerizing, she is dressed in a soft pink flowing gown, she is wearing a headdress like the one Dallah gifted me, her hair is much like mine, blond loose curls that stop under her breasts and her eyes are a honey brown, she is magnificent.

“You are with your family here.”

“Family?” I ask in shock, but won’t believe her if she says yes.

“Yes. You are my daughter and I am your mother, but I did not give birth to you.” She says as she stands up and holds out her hands for me to place mine in, which I do eagerly.

“My mother!” I ask in shock, while my eyes take in the wonder of the paradise around us.

“Yes, I am your mother, and I have been waiting for this moment for many years now”

“I have a mother? Why am I here?” I say in a cry as she strokes my hair lovingly.

“You are here because I worry for you Zara, so much has happened in such a small amount of time. I made you as a gift to the supernatural world, but more so, I made you from love. I have always been with you daughter, you see, I didn’t want to get involved in your life, for you to love me then have to leave me to be with your new family. Because that is where you belong daughter, I could be selfish and keep you with me, here, but that is no life for a Charmer.

“What are you?” I ask in jagged breaths.

“I do not live on this earth, but here, in heaven. I am part Angel and part Charm, like you. I need you to trust in what you do, whom you love, as he will be the one to free you.”

“I don’t want to love,” I tell her as tears fall down my cheeks, from the utter splendor of her, and being here, in heaven!

“
Yes, you do, you want to love and be loved by him, but he is losing hope. The Princess I picked for you, doubts herself as your sister. Speak the words, take the heart and free her soul.” My mother tells me while wiping away my tears.

“I’m scared,” I tell her
with honesty and for the first time since being here I tell someone how I really feel, which is afraid and scared that I will not live up to expectation.

“I know daughter,” she tells me as she kisses my cheek, and wipes her own tears.

“You are so strong, I am so proud of the woman you have become. I have to send you back now Daughter.”

“How will I see you again,” I ask, looking at her in the eye.

“Very rarely can I bring you here; this is why I have waited so long. You need to go now, your brother waits for your return,”

“No, don’t send me back, let me stay longer?” I plead with her, but as I speak, her body starts to shimmer away.

“Please don’t leave me! Let me stay longer! Don’t leave me, I’m scared!” I cry to her, needing her to let me stay, to get to know my mother, to look at her face longer so that it imprints on my mind. Nevertheless, she has gone and the smell of the palace hits my nose and my eyes open of their own regard.

“Zara, what’s going on?” Dom asks, looking fearful for me.

I throw myself onto him and hold him tightly, needing him to be there.

“What are you scared of Zara? Where did you go?” He asks me with confusion on his face.

“I was... she is...”

“Don’t try and talk, it’s ok; just let me hold you babe, when the time is right, I want you to trust in me. I love you Zara so much. Don’t be scared
, you have us all with you, forever.” He tells me, holding me tightly.

How the hell does someone have a mother that is part Angel and part ‘Charm’, which makes me the Charmer? Can she even come down to earth? My head is going to explode, every
day something new is unearthing, however, this blows every other day out of the water.

Lifting my head up to look at Dom, I suddenly remember my mother telling me that my brother was waiting, was she speaking of Dom.

It’s not as if I can come out and ask him, I’m sure if he were, he wouldn’t even know himself. Then my family will be that of my chosen, or can I really choose whom I want in my life, my family.

Going to rub my eyes, I look down at the cool, heavy object in my hand. It’s a dagger! It’s gold, with the same markings as the ones that cover my body.

“Where did you get that?” Dom asks in amazement.

“Is it not yours?”

“No,” He tells me while looking down at it in awe.

“I know you
’re different Zara, don’t explain, though I have a feeling you’re keeping this secret for a reason. Just let me be there for you k?” He tells me lovingly. He doesn’t care that I have secrets, he just cares that I am safe, which warms my heart.

“Always
Dom and I will always be with you.” I tell him kissing his cheek.

Looking back down at the dagger, I’m overwhelmed with what I just went through, but I need to keep in mind why my mother came to me. I need to save Dallah from a life of misery, that is what comes first.

“I have to go Dom, there is something I need to do,” I tell him regrettably.

“And I can’t come with you?” He asks sadly.

“I’ll be fine, I promise,” I tell him with a smile.

“You're so beautiful Zara, inside and out, pure perfection,” He tells me studying my face as if he
sees me in a new light.

Well, you
want to see my mother then! That is what I would like to say, but I will leave it for another day, I need to find Dallah.

             
“Dom, please don’t tell anyone that I said I’m scared, I don’t want them to worry more,” I plead with him.

             
“I would never, if you weren’t scared I would worry, it’s not wrong to be afraid,” He tells me, kissing my head and looking deeply into my eyes before letting me leave.

              “Dallah, you won’t believe this but I have a mum...ber, from... a gorgeous man...down stairs!”

SHIT! Den is sitting with her on the fucking balcony, why did I not wait to see if she was alone! Goddamn it!

              “Good for you! I’m off, see you tonight Dallah,” Den tells her while walking past me with a sigh and a look of loathing.

When the door slams shut
, I take the seat that Den vacated with a loud sigh.

             
“Mumber?” Dallah asks with a smirk.

             
“No, I just meet my mother, who is part Charm, part Angel. Dallah, she is amazing, you would not believe how stunning she is,” I tell her smiling like the village idiot.

             
“Have you been drinking?” She asks, looking at me with a raised brow.

             
“No! I swear it’s true!” I tell her pleading with her to believe me.

             
“What, down stairs?” She asks leaning forward.

I sit and tell her what happened, step by step, and word for word. When I finish, she looks upon me with soft eyes as she takes my hand in hers.

              “I knew there was something else, but I didn’t want to freak you out, but part Angel...I mean...wow!” She says and goes quiet, just studying my face.

             
“Dallah, snap out of it! I’m still the same person, just because my mother is an Angel doesn’t mean that I am.”

             
“I know, but the thing is...you are, you are part Angel! Oh goddess, we need make sure no one finds out, EVER. This is serious Zara; if anyone were to find out, you would be ripped apart. Angels are feared by all the supernatural, as they carry strength and power like no other, you are now linked to your God, and also Lucifer, on top of being the Charmer!” She screeches and jumps up in a panic.

             
“I think you’re blowing this out of proportion Dallah, my mother is half Angel, half Charm. So that makes me like one-forth, but like you said months ago, ‘I’m the Charmer that is my gift’” I try to convince her.

             
“The book you have, you can read it because it was written by an Angel! You need to learn the words and put it back Zara, you can’t be found with the book!”

             
“Shit Dallah, calm down! I can handle this. I will put the book back as soon as I have what I need, no one will know that I had it, I promise. Hey, you told me that Werewolves can see what you are by the shade of your eyes, the Brothers’ surely would have known if I was part Angel,” I tell her trying to get her to stop her from wearing a hole in the carpet with worry. She stops and looks me straight in the eye,

             
“Yeah, they would know wouldn’t they?” She asks still looking a little panicked.

             
“Yeah they would, now come here you crazy little Witch,” I tell her cheekily with my arms held out to her. She walks to me hugging me back with love.

             
“I need you Zara, please stop putting yourself in danger, and no more surprises ok?”

             
“I know, and no more surprises, just don’t take me to the sea!”

             
“Why?” she asks pulling herself from my arms with a look of concern.

             
“Oh, you wouldn’t want to see me as a mermaid!” I laugh at her for almost falling for it, as I run and jump on the bed.

She lifts me off the bed so that I am levitating close to the high ceiling, and she starts to move me up and down with amazing speed. The laughter rips from me as I see Dallah laughing so hard that she hold her crouch to stop herself peeing in her pants like a 3 year old.

              “What are you two doing,” I hear Ruk’s rough sexy voice ask with a laugh as I fall to the bed and bounce to a stop.

I lift my head to see him, but can’t see much as my long thick mass of hair lies over my face. Ruk’s gentle fingers push the hair away
, so to see my face, and stuns me with his a gorgeous smile, making me blush.

Dallah’s fake cough brings me back to reality, jumping up; I sit on the bed, moving my hair back to place.

              “Dallah can’t take a joke, that’s all,” I tell him, then look to Dallah with a playful wink.

             
“So what we doing today then,” He asks Dallah, while getting comfortable on the bed.

I don’t listen to what they talk about; I just stare at Ruk’s side profile. He is so goddamn sexy, and strong and his body, oh my gosh his body!
