Strings of Fate

Chapter 163

163- Diaries and death

“What can you tell us about Atropos?” I prompt.

Well, she is usually considered to be the oldest of the fates. I’m not sure how anyone would know that kind of thing, but that’s what the stories I was told said. It doesn’t really matter anyway. So, as I said, Atropos is the fate who controls the manner in which someone dies and cuts the string that represents their lifespan. Basically if our fates represent the beginning and middle of life, Atropos represents the ending. I don’t really know exactly what abilities your Kiara has but it probably involves knowing how people will die. Maybe when? You would really need to ask her for the specifics.” Collin suggests. I tense up. I was so interested in hearing about this magic that for a minute, I forgot the reason I started looking into it in the first place. I must have stayed quiet too long because Bellamy responds for me.

“Kiara is missing. She was kidnapped several days ago. We have reason to believe that she is still alive. We thought maybe she might have been taken for some of her magical abilities. But since we don’t know her race and we didn’t know anything about her magic, it makes it very difficult to work out what that might be. We’re hoping that some idea of her abilities might lead to information about why she was taken and then hopefully who took her.” He explains it calmly, but he takes my hand and holds it tight so I know he isn’t as unaffected ast

he sounds.

“Oh no, the poor dear!” Addie looks distraught. I can tell she really is the kind of person to care a lot about others. Collin looks sad but thoughtful.

“You said you have evidence suggesting that she is alive. Might I ask what kind of evidence?” He is definitely the logical, analytical type.

“I… I’ve had dreams about her. I’ve never even met her in person but every time I sleep I see her. That’s why I have to find her.” I try to speak clearly, but my voice wavers and I sound broken, even to my own ears. From the looks of sympathy on everyone’s faces, I look as terrible as I’m feeling.

“So you’re an Oracle then?” Addie asks and I shrug and shake my head at the same time.

“Not really? I have magic but I don’t usually see visions, not until now. I see threads of fate. too, but what I see is people’s relationships. The ones they’re destined to have. Their red
