but he is still going to have to watch her with someone else for the rest of his life. Can you blame him for wanting to take the chance?”
No, I couldn’t blame him. I couldn’t imagine seeing the person I love with someone else. Seeing Calista with him about killed me.
“I still would not have forced her to kiss me. He’s supposed to protect her, not cause her more pain.” I pause . I wonder how Elvena knew I was t here in the first place.
“How did you know where to find me?” I ask curiously.
She just smirks and says, “I have my ways, child. King Oberon sought me out after leaving the party. He told me what happened between you and Calista and he wanted my advice. You had a vision, am I right?”
I nod, “Yes, we both did.”
“Did you both have the same vision, or were they di fferent?” Elevena asks . Her forehead creases like she’s trying to concentrate on something.
“I am not sure, but we have planned to meet tonight to discuss it.”
She smiles like she already knew it .
“I’m pretty sure it was the same vision. Do you mind if I take your hand?”
I think the question is a little odd, but I put my hand in hers. She closes her eyes while holding my hand and murmurs words of the Old Fae language. Most of the fae do not use th e language any more. She rocks back and forth on the balls of her feet and then abruptly stops and opens her eyes. Tears fall down her face and she has the most radiant looking smile on her face.
What did you see?” I ask.
“I saw the answers, child. The answers we need are within you and Calista. I watched you both secretly tonight and I should have known then. You and Calista are going to be the ones who help save the kingdoms. ” She looks up at Calista’s room and then back to me.
“ I must go , there is much to think about,” she say s and gives me one last grateful look then turns to walk away toward the castle . I wonder what she means about saving the kingdoms. I’m assuming it is about the p rophecy .
I holler out, “Wait! ”
She turns around and looks at me with love and respect in her eyes.
“How do we save the kingdoms and what are we trying to save them from?”
El vena waves me off .
“Go to Calista. The answers will come to you in time. I have no doubt that you both will figure it out. In the meantime, go easy on her about Merrick. She didn’t plan on him falling in love with her. Her heart belongs to you, it always has. No matter what happens with Merrick, you need to trust her. ” She begins to back away. “ That is all I can say for now. I have planned to speak to her in the morning. I trust you will make sure she gets to her room safely?”
I bid her farewell, and bow my head.
“Yes, Prophetess, she will return safely.”
Elvena was there one minute and then she vanished into the shadows. I have only a few short minutes to make it to the lake. I head toward the path and make my way to the big willow tree by the lake. I get to the tree on time, but there’s no sign of Calista yet. I knew I would beat her here because she was still in her room when I made it to the path. I slide my armor off and find a nice , soft spot of grass under the tree. I decide to lie under the canopy of the tree and clear my thoughts while I wait for Calista. I was so mad earlier and I need to calm down before she gets here, but I don’t see it happening. I don’t see the kelpies out and about so, hopefully, they won’t try to come out and eat me. Calista seems very fond of them so I would hate to have to kill them to protect myself. How am I going to deal with her and Merrick? I wish this anger would go away, but thinking about him with his hands on her makes me want to kill him. He’s obviously not going to let her go without a fight. If it’s a fight he wants, it’s a fight he’s going to get.
