"A Journey with untold memories. A Journey with not a single dream nor a nightmare. Why must us mortals live in agony? Why must we fear the things that shouldn't be feared? Why must we live in a world of hiding and despair? And why was I chosen to cease all existence of life, and yet, keep on with my own. Is there a saying that goes: 'With death there is new life. And with new life there is death.'? So, if this is true, why do thing happen were my mother only brings death, and there is no life to retrieve what was to come? On days like these, I ask again...Why was I chosen?"
Frag had watched her daughter and two sons grow up to be very well off children. But there was a secret that she was hiding from her daughter, Angelina. That her child whether be a boy or a girl. That child would be cursed for all of Eternity. He or she would be the true child of Viktoria. Viktoria, the true Goddess of Death. Frag hid the emotions well, when she had learned that her daughter bared a daughter, in which she named Melinka Dawn, things seemed fitting. But Frag knew of what was to come. Her granddaughter, would never know what life was. But to suffer death over and over again. And unfortunately, she would be the cause of this destruction of man.
By this time, Bella had divorced Marielle, and married a man named Johnny. But thanks to her old ways, she kept seeing Marielle behind Johnny's back. And her twin sister, Tausha, finally settled down and got married to Cale. Luke and Neo had even married. But that wasn't the problem. Everyone was truly happy, with their new lives. New life was being brought into the world, of misfortune. But the day, Angelina announced she was pregnant, hearts stopped:
"You are beautiful, yes you are. Yes you are." Angelina stated with a smile, as she began to talk to her daughter, Melinka.
Hailey watched her wife talk to their daughter, "She is beautiful, isn't she?" Hailey stated in more of a questioning tone,
"Yes. She is very beautiful." Angelina stated, as she looked at their daughter more and more, there was something a little off. She gave off, coldness. Though she was a happy child, or baby in this sense. She felt...Cold.
"Hush now, little one. Dream sweetly. Let the waves of the dreams take you somewhere you have never been. Let the whispers of sweet angels, sing ever so sweetly as your dream, of the beautiful skies. The crisp oceans. Dream sweetly little one, for tomorrow is your first birthday. Sweet dreams, Melinka." Crispin whispered, "
As I now pray for your soul. I pray that...
Viktoria doesn't take your innocent soul towards the destruction of man. I hope that she sees that you belong mortal, not of immortality. My beautiful great niece, please, once your soul has been take away from the light, and unto the darkness. Do not forget the ones that loved you. For, we are here....
Why did Frag have to tell me this...
Why..." Crispin thought to himself.
"Day one. We shall potty train you, Melinka." Hailey stated with a warm smile, "Alright, pretend this is your diaper..." Hailey cut herself off, "
Is that what I really say to potty train a child?" Hailey thought to herself, "Just uhm, do your business, Melinka." Hailey stated, as she watched her daughter.
"Day two, sweetie. Lets learn how to talk. Hmm, what can I get you to say?" Angelina thought, "How about mama?" Angelina whispered, and ended up getting no response, "
Well, that was depressing. I'll try again." Angelina thought, "Can you say mama?" Angelina asked,
"M..M..Mama." Melinka finally replied,
"Yay! Thats correct, Melinka." Angelina stated, as she clapped for her daughter,
"Day three, baby. Walking. Alright, here we go, sweetheart. Mommy got you. Don't worry, I'll never let you fall. You are my precious package of love." Hailey stated, as she kept teaching Melinka how to walk. This was a beautiful moment for Hailey, Angelina, and Melinka. Nothing could go wrong, right?
After years and years of raising Melinka. Melinka decided to strike out on her own. And she went to college. She knew that this was the best opportunity for her. Not only to be own individual, but to also carry on the Van Roechoudt tradition. To go to College, and make something out of herself. And which she did.
"
This is just way to soon. Why Melinka...
Why did you have to go...
Do you know awaits you now...
Why did Frag have to tell Angelina and I...
What is to come of our child?! WHY COULDN'T SHE PICK SOMEONE ELSE?!" Hailey thought in disgust, "
Why..." Hailey continued her heartbreaking thoughts, but kept a strong smile on her face,
"I am so very proud of you, Melinka. Please never...Ever..." Hailey tried to hold back her tears, "That I love you. Angelina loves you. And your entire family loves you." Hailey whispered, as she hated the idea of letting Melinka go,
"Mom, calm down. You act like I'm going to go out and die. Don't worry, I love you, mom, and my family very much. How could I ever forget the love and the cherishing that you all gave to me?" Melinka asked,
"
Please...
Melinka never forget us." Hailey thought, "I know. I love you sweetie." Hailey managed to get out, as her tears cascaded down her features.
"I love you, mom. And take care of mum. Okay?" Melinka smiled, as she began to turn towards the house she would be living in for the next four years.
After years, of stressing over their daughter's well being. They feared the worse when she stopped calling. Melinka had stopped calling her family. And eventually met up with a woman, that her family feared, Viktoria.
"Ahh, Melinka. So you did decide to show up. Its an honor." Viktoria stated,
"Yeah, you asked me to come here. But...I also felt drawn here." Melinka replied,
"Good. Now, I have to ask you something. Have you ever heard of the prophecy? That three Gods, and three Goddess are to bare children and bring unto this world salvation." Viktoria asked and stated,
"Uh...Let me think. Yeah, actually. The Goddess of Death, The Goddess of Life, and the Goddess of Chaos are to bare children to bring balance to the world. Or at least try to. Where is the God of War, The God of the Sea, and The God of...I can't remember the last one." Melinka whispered,
"The God of Love. I know. Its rather strange. I would have thought the Love part would have been under the Goddess department." Viktoria stated, but then got serious, "Yes, Melinka. That is all correct. However, as you stand before me. You must know of your place upon this Earth. I am the Goddess of Death. I am the Goddess of Destruction. I bring no hope nor light into people's lives. I bring darkness and hopelessness. And you, Melinka, are my true daughter. Your mother, Angelina brought your into this world, for me, to take away. Bring into what is to be protected. You and your soon to be siblings are to bring nothing but balance. For there is a battle to be had. The Goddess of Life and Light was to bare the first child. And yet, I bared the first." Viktoria stated, but was caught off guard by the reaction of her daughter,
Melinka busted up into laughter, "That is too fucking funny!" Melinka continued to laugh,
"Do you not believe the words of your mother?! Do you not believe that these things can happen?! Or do you not believe at midnight, you'll become what you were born to become?" Viktoria asked, "Shall I count down? After all, you have but five minutes of your mortality left."
As time continued to whine down, Melinka was getting agitated with this woman's allegations,
"Five." Viktoria began,
"Blah blah! I can't hear you!" Melinka stated, as she began to feel quite weird. "Just stop, Viktoria! STOP! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" Melinka screamed as she kept her ears plugged,
"Four. Three. Two. One. Goodbye, mortality. And awaken your immortality." Viktoria stated,
Soon, Melinka would believed what Viktoria was saying, she felt something within her body. She felt coldness, and she felt something that she never wanted to be;
The daughter of the Goddess Of Death.
