Darkside 30

“You.” Avery said. 

“Me. What are you talking about? I don’t have any powers or anything.” Kit said. 

“You did when you little. You lost them when you were too young to remember ever having them.” Avery explained. 

“I don’t understand.” Kit said. 

“You will in time, but know we must tell no one. This must be our little secret. Pinky Promise.” Avery held out her pinky. She knew that if Kit promised she would die before revealing it. 

“Avery! Bedtime.” Tina yelled from the house. 

“Bedtime. Is she crazy?” Avery asked. 

“Just go with it.” Kit smiled. 

“Fine.” Avery held out her hand and Jaime turned back into the mouse and scurried up to her shoulder. “Are you coming?” 

“No I’m going to sit here for a while. I have some thinking to do.” Kit said. 

“Okay see you in the morning.” Avery ran off. 

Kit dug her toes into the sand. She lost herself in thought. 

“Daddy how could this be?” She asked herself. 

In a flash of light Melvin stepped onto the beach.

“I know I should have not kept it a secret but your mother made me promise that I would”  He walked towards her. 

“I don’t understand.” Kit looked at him.

“Your mother was Queen, Supreme ruler of the magical world.  I loved her dearly. When she got sick you were still to young to rule. The darkness was closing in on the world. The Ancients were retreating into solitude to pull our powers and keep the darkness at bay. It was your mother’s dying wish that you not find out about all this until you were able to handle it. By that time we ancients were too weak to crossover. It wasn’t until Avery gave herself over to us that we regained our strength. Now that you know the truth you must prepare yourself for what is going to come. Avery will have to make the ultimate sacrifice to give you what is rightfully yours. After all is said and done You must convince Bette and Tina to take the children and give them what they deserve. I love you Katie. I’ll be waiting for you.” He said and in a flash he was gone.
