7 The Mystery Woman

Ironically I woke up at the exact same time, I fell into oblivion in my dream. I was supposed to be feeling negative about my death, but I didn't feel so. In some part of my mind I couldn't help but feel Grace loved me. I hoped that that would be true. At the exact same moment the bell rang. I had to catch Grace, I search everywhere but I couldn't find her in despair I sat down. Little did I know that I was in a meadow.

I heard a pop and cool breeze hit my face I lifted my eyes to meet those of the mystery woman. The one I had seen by the lake. She sat down next to me and she said "I know this is hard for you but you have to give this time. Only with time comes greatness. " I couldn't take it I burst " You think that words solve everything! I don't even know who you are! I have dreams of getting killed!" I paused for a bit.

" If you really want to know who I am then I'll tell you about something that changed my life for the better or the worse" she said. "It bought me to where I am now."

Mystery woman: Cassandra POV

When I think about Jacob and his words it makes me think of the past.

When I look back, I can't help but think how blessed I was. I had a family and I had a home. Until that was taken from me, an invasion killed my mother. I was beaten and bruised until the fighting spirt had left my body. I was angry at my people for rebelling, more than that I was angry at them for failing. They thought I was living a happy life little did they know. It was all an illusion to squash out the protests. Now if I think of it, I can't help but wonder why I put myself down. Did I believe in the fact that I would be treated equally. I did think so, I loved and I lost. What more can I loose, I can't afford to loose anymore of my people.

It was my blood that was spilling. I was destroyed, shattered, beyond hurt. I was broken into a million pieces with no one there to bring me back to life. I didn't have anything to loose. I can't sit here, how can I not do anything? I am not their puppet, I will not bend and yeild to their every wish. I am Cassandra Angeline Cress Nylon, Queen of Arizona.

I was born from the ashes. I'm not a lady I'm a queen once destroyed but bought back to life. No more peace this is war. So watch out I'm coming for you, I will fight at every step of the way. Checkmate: I will kill all those with the blood of my people on their hands. They better watch their backs. Those where my thoughts at that time I had vanquished them.

I took a deep breath and turned to Jacob. I said" I was soul bound too. I loved and I lost. I lost my love when I was turned there was no other way I could with him. A single touch from me would kill him slowly. The gods cursed me to live on forever, if he dies I will have no soul" I had no idea what made me tell this but there was more to the story.
