Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 383

Chapter 383

Everyone turned in horror as Carly stood in the grass, white eye

blind to the world, voice too deep for a freshly seven-year-old child. Rick turned back to me, because the goddess left my body, and we were once again alone. "Is that who I think it is?"

Carly chuckled in a voice that sounded like she was grown. "If you are asking if I am the Shaman, I am indeed.” She turned to me. "High above us, where the stars can reach, the secret you are searching for has taken root."

Something in my chest loosened. Something my soul has figured out, but my brain was still trying to catch up. "What do you mean?"

"You know." She smiled, and then I watched her start to fall. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and before she could slam into the ground, I caught her.

"Holy shit, you have the shaman here?" Rick paced.

"Abby is playing with the shaman?" Shelly looked confused.

Ternen, sweet Ternen, just looked at us, "Who or what is the shaman?"

Everyone froze for a second and then everyone, including the newly awakened Carly, laughed. I think the comment broke through everyone's heightened emotions and brought us all back down.

Wendy, Toya, and Abby all came out of the cabin and walked up to the laughing crowd. "Everything okay?" Toya sounded

worried.

I nodded. "Why?"

Toya pointed to Carly. "The girls were playing with the dolls and this one sprinted from the room."

Carly wiggled to get down from my arms. "I felt a vision coming on and I needed to be with Amy when it hit." She looked up at them. "I'm sorry if I scared you."
