Daughters of Kimora - Angel92296 (read me a book txt) 📗

clothes I left here at the cabin. I changed out of the clothes from yesterday and put on the new ones I found in the draws.
“God, Lucinda, you look awful,” I told myself as I paused by the full body mirror on my way back to the bed. The clothes looked fine but I was barely standing straight and a few scratches were bright red against my naturally pale skin. I pulled my eyes from the mirror and walked back to the bed.
I played what happened to me yesterday over in my mind. Those hideous creature thingy things that Jesse fought off seemed familiar somehow. Like I have seen them before but through someone else eyes. Is that even possible? How did I make them scatter away so easily with only my voice? Was it the same way I controlled myself in the car? What else can I do? I mean I know I’m not a normal seventeen year old.
“You have so much to learn but you haven’t even healed yourself,” Miraculous voice came from the now opened door way.
“I can do that?” I asked.
“You did it before,” she told me.
“That’s what happened?” I asked.
“You really do have a lot to learn,” she said, shaking her head. “Lesson one. Your mind is your power. If you command something, that person you tell – whether it’s yourself or another- they have to obey.”
“That’s really cruel,” I said, thinking about it.
“Not if you use it positively well,” she said, stepping in the room and closing the door.
“Why did you want me to listen to the conversation you and Maria was having?” I asked her, while she plopped beside me gracefully on the bed.
“Because of what I just told you,” she began. “Like you said, your power can be cruel. It also can be dangerous. You were just discovered as another daughter of Kimora. That means you hold a lot of power. By now, many people have heard of you. So they misjudge you, like Maria has. I don’t know how far her faith in you has grown but she definitely has her doubts.”
“Have I really been sleeping for hundreds of years?” I asked.
“Only four, I believe. The only reason was because Kimora didn’t want anyone to know you existed. Especially your vile sisters,” she said, in disgust. She shook whatever thought wrapped around her mind and continued. “They were the ones calling you. They were also the one that sent that beast to get you.”
“This is too much,” I said, letting my head fall in my hands. Then I remembered something Jesse had said about a woman carrying me to their house. I suddenly knew who it was. “It was you.”
“Me that what, child?” she said confused.
“That brought me to Maria’s house,” I said, not sounding angry but still founding highly confused and questioning.
“I had no choice. It was Kimora’s orders,” she said, sadly.
“Who is Kimora?” I asked, annoyed that this name kept getting repeated.
“Kimora is a goddess in which my people serve. Kauis or as you call him, Jesse, is the soon to be leader of my people. Maria is simply his trusted servant, whose opinion always matters. She is also an angel. Kimora, your mother, has asked of me to bring you to him and hope that he watches over you.
“He does not know his importance in the world he belongs to but that is about to change. Maria wanted you to be in each other’s lives but not as close as I have allowed recently. So she treated you like siblings. What she did is forbidden. You two are soul mates and she had no right.”
“But you said Maria’s intentions were good,” I reminded her.
“Maybe I have been misguided,” she said, questionably.
“Well, that solves one of my problems,” I said, utterly annoyed that Maria was such a heartless person. I know now how to handle Jesse.”
“I must remind you to heal yourself. Also remember your power could also be dark so be very careful of what you focus on.” At that, she was on her feet. She walked to the door. Before she left she looked at me over her shoulder. “This human thing works better for you than for me.”
“That’s because I make it look easy,” I said, grinning at her while she smiled and left the room. I heard the door closed and sighed. I rubbed my sore ribs and my right leg because that’s where the pain was the most. Focus, I told myself, you just have to focus. With that, my super tense body loosened up as I focused on healing. As the focus traveled to the places that carried the most pain. I cried out in pain as a burning feeling touched those places.
“Lucinda? Are you alright in there?” Jesse voice asked from the other side of the closed the door. I couldn’t answer him. The burning was too intense but I knew that I shouldn’t allow myself to stop the healing process. The burning feeling was spreading through my entire body. It was burning and it possessed me. The heat was extremely painful but I kept focusing on my healing while I screamed and cried in agonizing pain. I heard the door knob twisting but the door didn’t seem to want to open for who ever tried to enter. I felt like something pushed me and knocked the air out of me and then the burning was gone. I found myself on my hands and knees gasping for air. The pain was gone. I just stayed there, on my hand and knees, trying to pull myself together. It only took me a minute or two before I started breathing normally and rushing to my feet.
There was still knocking at my door and my name being called. I opened the door and watched as Jesse, Miraculous and Maria came running in to see what could possibly have made me scream the way I did. I ignored their multiple questions and went to the mirror. I was glad to see the scratches were gone and I looked like my normal self again.
“She is fine,” Miraculous spoke for me. “The healing process sucks, doesn’t it?”
“Without a doubt, the worst thing that has ever happened to me,” I answered not recognizing my voice at all. It sounded so weak and exhausted.
“You’ve done well, old friend,” Miraculous said. I walked up to her, completely avoiding Maria’s gaze.
“It is time to learn,” I said, finding my strength in my voice.
“Well said,” she said, simply. She walked out the door and I followed behind her. We didn’t stop until we were outside the cabin. “I need to change first.” I made a gestured for her to continue. She walked ahead of me and stood in the clear empty space. She held her arms up in the air.
“Ancient ones! Hear my voice! Change me back, as is my choice!” she shouted with a strong powerful voice I knew so well. I watched as she manifested to the glorious dove that I have ever seen. I watched her arm grow in to giant bright wings and her full lips turning into a beak. Her eyes became wiser and brighter as they glistened in the moonlight. She changed before my eyes and it was the most amazing thing that I ever seen.
“Shall we fly, child?” Her voice breaking through my shock. I walked up to her. I thought about how in the world I was getting on her back when she sighed at me. “Trust in your instincts. Believe me, they will speak to you.”
I sprinted toward Miraculous and made a giant into the empty air. I was surprised at how high I jumped and with no effort I landed on Miraculous back.
“Well done, Child. Well done,” Miraculous said. She began to flap her wings and we headed toward the sky.
“Aren’t you scared of being seen?” I yelled over the flap of her wings.
“Not at all,” she said.
“What is with Maria?” I asked.
“Maria was banished from my world so she came here. In order to return to the land from which I’m from she must do right by my people. She accepted the task to watch over you and the angel in which you call Jesse.”
“Why was she banished?” I asked.
“She once walked the road of your vile sisters,” she answered. I could hear the pain in her voice. “This is why I have my doubt about this one.”
“What did they do?” I asked.
“They killed many of my people, including my daughter,” she spoke coldly and I felt a shiver go down my spine. I couldn’t think of anything else to say.
“Don’t feel that way child,” Miraculous spoke. “Sympathy is not what I ask of you. I only ask that you do not follow the path of your sisters.”
“You have my word,” I replied. She chuckled and we began lowering back to the floor. I jumped off before she touched the ground.
“I’ll see you soon,” she said.
“I’ll be waiting,” was me reply. I ran in the cabin. I found Jesse and Maria in the kitchen. They both stop speaking when I walked in the room.
“That was fast,” Maria spoke first.
“Whatever,” I replied.
“Did you learn something new?” she asked.
“I sure did,” I grumbled.
“Well what did you learn?” She asked.
“That you’re a murderer,” I answered. I leaned on the counter and waited for her respond. But it was Jesse who spoke first.
“What are you talking about?”Jesse asked.
“She knows,” I said. I folded my arms over my chest.
“That was a long time ago,” Maria yelled.
“But you can’t bring those people back,” I yelled back.
“Are you kidding me? Maria killed someone?” Jesse asked.
“Maria, do you care to explain?” I asked, sweetly.
“I used to work with the sisters of Lucinda. They were wretched females but I owed them my life. They granted me my life again in return of my service. I was dying. I had no choice.”
“Whatever,” I said, turning down the hall to my room. I slammed the door behind me. I paced back and forth. Why so much anger, child? I heard Miraculous say through my thoughts.
I can’t stay here Miraculous. It’s going to drive me insane, I replied. I slumped on my bed, pulling a throw pillow to my face.
Do you wish to return home? Miraculous asked.
How can I do that? I asked. Then I realized what home she was talking about. I felt my stomach knot up.
Do you think I am ready? I asked.
You were born ready, child Miraculous answered. I walked out my room and tip toed to the front door.
“Where do you think you’re headed?” Jesse asked, creeping up behind me.
“Uh, I was just going to get some fresh air,” I said,
