Maureen fallS asleep from the quietness of the apartment. When she is woken by a loud crash coming from Thomas"s room. Rushing in she sees him thrashing on the bed as if he is fighting someone. She tries to remember the times she and Onacona were next to Remi if anything bad happened to Thomas. She gets anxious and calls Onacona. "I need someone now!!!!!!" Onacona worried it"s medical gets Moll and Inola and they rush to the apartment. Aisling, Remi, and Astila follow. Yona stays with the others to answer any questions as to why everyone rushed out. When they arrive Thomas is still thrashing about. Moll explains that if a stranger enters his dream that it could be harmful. If Aisling or Remi enters they could calm him. Since Remi would be pregnant during Thomas"s dream. Aisling asks Moll if the Glamour spell would work in a dream. She nods yes. With that Aisling goes into a trance and quickly enters Thomas"s dream. She chants a glamour spell and changes to a pregnant Remi. Thomas is fighting with a group of boys. Looking closely she sees that one of them is Deans" friend. The one who Remi has a crush on. She walks over and grabs Thomas. Pulling him away from the boy. She glares at him angrily and points to the boys. He knows she won"t speak but understands she wants an explanation.
"He was talking about how you sleep around and that your b.a.s.t.a.r.d isn"t from the person who hurt you. I told him to shut up before I shut him up. He just kept running his mouth so I shut him up. He is such a coward he wouldn"t even fight back." He storms away from Remi (Aisling)and heads home. Remi (Aisling)glares at him. The boy begins to explain.
"Look Dean is crazy we know that. The last thing you or your family needs is for him to think he is your child"s father. So get your brother to back off. If not he might figure out that the baby is his. You don"t want anything to happen to your brother or your baby so please get him to stop." With that, the boys walk away. She followed Thomas home watching him wipe his eyes every few steps. He is quietly crying trying not to let anyone see. Moll brings Aisling out once Thomas is calm.
"So what happened?" They ask looking at her anxiously.
"Thomas was fighting with one of the guys that were there the night of the attack. He was spreading rumors about Remi. Thomas was trying to defend her." Remi sits looking at her hands.
"I remember that day it was the last time he spoke nicely to me after that he hated to even see my face. The boy was my crush and he warned me to figure out a way to get Thomas to stop fighting them. Every person he heard about that could have been involved he got into a fight with. He told me that if I didn"t want Thomas hurt or my child hurt I needed to find a way to get him to stop. So I told him it was true and he needed to leave it alone that everything was my fault. Mom told him that I got sent away because I did something wrong. She was afraid he would get involved. So I let him believe that. That is why when he started hating me I left it alone and tried not to be hurt by it. It was better to have his hate than to have him hurt." Remi looks at her brother and moved his hair from his face kissing his forehead she is close to tears and goes out of the room. Aisling goes and hugs her cousin. You can have Moll try to get your mom and him to stop this now and wake up. We can try to get them awake. I don"t know if things will change or not but we can try if it"s too hard for you. " Remi shakes her head no she turns to everyone. She wants to explain why.
"it"s a nightmare when I go through therapy and have to relive it. I want to die after each session. I can"t have him live with the baggage of my Dad being killed because of me. He needs to face reality so he doesn"t become broken like me. I want him to be able to love and to love my child. Crystal loves them so much I"m tired of her being hurt by them. I don"t know what they are remembering completely. I just know it"s something they need to. I, unfortunately, remember every moment from the moment that he first hit me till now. I have lived in h.e.l.l for close to six years. The only light I have had until now was Crystal. I want him to have loved not hated. I need you to teach me how I can help him." Her face is wet with tears by the time she finishes talking. Her voice is a little horse from holding them back. Aisling holds her a little tighter. Moll comes over asks her if she would like to take a test. She nods Maureen Moll and Aisling make a circle around Remi and begin to chant words no one can understand. The electricity in the room begins to crackle and charge. The lights flicker and go out. Moll tells Remi to command the lights to come back on. Remi in a stern voice commands light. With a whoosh, the lights come back on. Remi commands lights off they went out. With a squeal, she hugs them. smiling she asks
"Does this mean I"m a witch also ?" Moll flicks her in the head.
"We are gifted not witches. We are spiritual beings that have been gifted by G.o.d with certain gifts. Since you refused to talk or acknowledge your gifts they laid dormant. Aisling acceptance of her gifts at a young age made her more powerful than most. Even without guidance. Like you said the other night you always knew we were close. You knew when we were there to comfort you. You were just too afraid because of how you may be treated to say anything. Now that we have awakened them you are going to have to learn how to control them and when to use them. Now that you have accepted them you will have a responsibility to G.o.d to use them when asked. This will also make your emotions heightened. So you will hopefully now be able to edure your sessions better as well. " Inola chuckled loudly and Moll shoots him a irritated look.
"I laugh because my Nephew is in love with her. Oh boy is he going to be beside himself when her finds out that she has powers like his sister in-law. So do you think they planned it this way. That their lines would be so intertwined. I truly wonder what their story is. If maybe someday we will find out. I mean think about it. All of us are connected through them and because of them. In various life times as well. I wonder if we will ever be able to unravel it. "
they all look at him dumbfounded Aisling and Astila look at each other for they both were shown through their journeys by each of them. Aisling explains what"s she knows.
"I was shown three trees with the roots beneath the earth entertwined with a Celtic knot and a seven point star with a snake wrapped around them holding them. I thought it was my two lines and Astila"s . Could it be Morrigan and Uktena with all of us making up the third tree?"
Inola looks at them and shrugs .
"Only they know for sure."
Remi is like a kid playing with putting everyone in the dark and then light. They all begin to laugh at her when she tries to lift a gla.s.s of water and can"t. Moll decides she needs to explain a few things to her.
"Remi dear you have to be careful what you use your power for. If you miss use it or use it for personal gain it can get very bad. You see there is a threefold rule. If you use magic for evil or personal gain then bad things will comeback to you times three. The wealth we built up over the centuries was not acquired by magic but hard work and careful planning. Yes our ancestors were well off and some of that wealth came from them. We kept it and it grew because we cherished things that were important. Everyone of you have something that is priceless. That is compa.s.sion and love. You have had times of great hardship but you have always had unconditional love. When Aisling was born she was the catalyst that enabled the three of us to comeback as spirits to watch over you. She also was the one to unlock the secrets of the house. That is why she was able to inherit everything. Everything she needed to set things right in the past and to give our line a second chance was locked away till she needed them. She has never been told that she had to share her inheritance , she just has because of her love of her family. You have not spoken in over five years because of your love for your family. It"s that love that had bound our line for centuries. It"s also why our powers are so strong. Without love we would become something inhuman and then G.o.d would have no choice but to end our line. So we will need to start training you soon. If Inola is ok with it we can go to my cabin through the portal in the sitting room and you can learn there just like Aisling. " Inola nods in agreement but has a condition.
"Only while Yona is gone and only for short periods of time. No more than a few hours a week. You must finish your therapy so that there is no darkness that can corrupt your magic."
Remi agrees and they all get ready to go back to Aisling"s house. They go to check on the ones sleeping first.
