Chapter 69 – The Promise

Kiya

I woke up in my bed with a splitting headache. Exerting my newfound powers must have drained me and knocked me out cold. The last thing I remembered before blacking out was Neron’s arms grabbing me before I dropped to the floor. Thank goodness he had been there, or else I would have woken up with worse pain.

Rising from my pillow, I ruffled my hair and stretched the corkscrew curls to examine them. My hair had changed back to my natural color as I slept. Not only have I fully awoken‘ as Selene called it, but my appearance dramatically changed when I did.

“Good Goddess…” I mumbled, rubbing my forehead. Selene’s power seethed beneath my flesh, warming sensations more prominent than before. I felt weird like I wasn’t in my own body. Having a separate energy source that was out of my control weighed on me mentally. How much power was stored inside my body? Was I like a ticking time bomb? Could my powers hurt me or others?

I wish Phoebe were here. She would help me, especially since she was a fellow avatar. She always made me feel safe. Her motherly energy, despite being four months older than me, was something I needed now.

“You’re awake.”

I jumped, spotting Neron sitting at my desk. His large body in a smaller chair was an interesting sight. “Yeah, I assume you brought me here?”

He nodded. “You fainted at the hospital. It seemed fitting to bring you here.”

“I’m half surprised you didn’t take me to your room. Now that I’ve mentioned it, I’ve never seen his room. I was never allowed near it, not even to clean it. Curiosity piqued my interest, what sort of things would Neron have in his room? Pictures of women? Was everything carved out of wood? Was it made to fit royalty?

“That thought crossed my mind.” He confessed. “But I thought it’d be best for you to wake up in a familiar

“How did you get in?”

“Door was unlocked.”

“Oh…” Right. I rushed out as soon as I heard the screams. Locking my door was the least of my worries. “Um…thank you, I guess.”
