Chapter 34

Uriel

The gentle touch on my chin lifted my head slightly. My eyelids widened at the woman before me. Mom stood there in her pretty white sundress with her favorite gold laurel crown on her head. Her eyes held that same warmth I witnessed every morning when I woke, her cheeks were rosy like she had been smiling too much.

"Mom?" I questioned.

Did I fall asleep again? I wouldn't doubt it because sometimes a great long sleep followed after a good cry.

"Hello, Uriel," her knees bent down to meet me on the floor. "Your father and I wanted to check on you." Her voice held the softness she had when she put me to bed before reading to me every night. I had a whole mess of information to sort out, and she was the first person I needed to talk to. I bit my inner cheek, trying not to remember the happy times when I was utterly ignorant.

"You've kept secrets from me," I whispered, turning my head and standing. Walking towards the bed, I picked up Mr. Rainbow Farts and clenched him to my chest. Mom only sighed, walking towards the bed. The apparition she cast was translucent in appearance and didn't disturb the bed when she sat beside me.

Picking at my unicorn's hair, the room became deathly quiet. My mom took ragged breaths. "I had to," she whispered. "I had to, to keep you safe." My heart didn't ache or feel the pinprick of a lie. She honestly believed she had to keep it a secret from me to keep it safe.

"You should have told me when I was older," I murmured as I braided the unicorn's hair.

"Being a child, I would understand you keeping things from me, but I'm twenty-five years old!" my voice rose. "You kept me as a child, so innocent and locked away from the world. I trusted you! You and Dad were all I had!" I threw the unicorn to the ground, and hearing the flop of him hitting the floor; I winced.

Sorry, Mr. Rainbow Farts.

"You are a part of a prophecy—" I cut her off, growling at her. Mom's eyes widened at my outburst. She was trying to explain, and I almost snarled at her.

"I know what I am a part of, Mom." I hissed. "I know all of it, every bit, and those plants you kept in the house, which you made me water every day, kept me from growing up!"

Mom shook her head, dumbfounded. "What?"

"Yeah, those plants stunted my growth. For flower's sake, I couldn't even get something as normal as a period!" Mom sat back down, her hand coming to her mouth.

"How do you know this?"

"Athena went to our home and saw the plants! She's pretty smart, you know? Oh wait, I guess you do know because you know everything and kept it hidden from me!" I hissed.

There were scratching sounds at the door. More than likely, it was Cerberus. I could hear his grunts and growls from the other side.
