CHAPTER 10

I stopped in front of the door unable to bring myself to knock. Leif looked to me and nodded before he reached up to knock on the door. I swallowed hard as I thought about the woman on the other side of the door. She was the key to knowing about my birth mother. I heard footsteps on the other side of the door and I held my breath.

“Who is it?” A soft melodic voice called from the other side of the door.

“Um, we’re friends of Catherine. We’d like to ask a few questions.” I could tell Leif was trying to keep his voice light and friendly.

When the door flew open, Caroline gripped a dagger in her hand. “How do you know my sister?” Her voice was firm and dangerous. She held the dagger poised to strike us.

I took a step in front of Leif. “I’m her daughter.”

She appraised me. When she stopped on my eyes she nodded. “So you are.” Her hand dropped to her side. She opened the door wider. “Come in.” She walked into the living room. She took a seat in the chair adjacent the couch. The small flowers on the couch matched the deep red of the chair. I took in the room, examining the small details. A vase filled with matching tulips sat atop the glass coffee table. There were even small flowers on the vine-like table legs. Caroline must really like flowers. She motioned for us to sit on the couch. I took a seat close to her and folded my hands in my lap. Leif mirrored my posture when he sat next to me.

“So, you’re one of Catherine’s babies. You have her eyes.” She commented as she continued to appraise me. I shifted under her scrutinizing gaze.

“What do you know about my mother?” I asked. I had so many questions for her, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I wanted to know everything I could.

“Oh honey, she was my twin. I know everything about your mother.” She gave me a pensive look. It was also slightly sad. Considering she’d died recently; the grief was probably still fresh in her mind.

“Do you know about her being a mage and the prophecy?” I asked wanting to ask about the little things, but knowing I needed to get to the point.

“Of course, I’m a mage. Your mother told me about her visits with Hecate. She had five babies. All of you are the descendants, who are prophesied to be able to take out the God, Morrigan. But you already know all of this. It’s what led you here. What you really want to know is about your siblings? I don’t know where they are. Your mother was protective of the information. She didn’t want to help Morrigan find you. Hecate promised to protect you, but Cat was always nervous. I admired the sacrifice she made for you guys. She loved you fiercely and was willing to let you go to protect you. She was a marvelous woman.
