OLIVIA
It had been five days since Matt and Anna asked for permission to change Anna so that she would become a wolf. I know they have both been searching for everything they possibly can, so they are prepared, just as they had been asked to do. I had talked with Kate, and she had found some old scrolls, yes scrolls, not books, that told about the safest way and time to do it. They also recommended that there would be a healer, not a doctor, but an actual healer.
I knew that Anna's father, Dr. Joseph, had some healing abilities, but as far as I knew, it was the ability to close and heal wounds. That is what he did either mine after the attack that happened at Rose’s birthday party, and I am pretty sure that it is not the kind of healer that the scrolls talk about.
‘No, it is not.’ A female voice says in my head.
‘Moon-goddess?’ I ask.
‘Yes, my child.’ She answers back
‘I am sorry, I did not expect this.’ I tell her and hear her hypnotizing laughter.
‘I know, my child, but I want to help you, so you can help the young wolf to be.’ She tells me.
‘I need to find a healer, right?’ I ask.
‘No, you do not.’ She answers.
‘But, I don’t think I understand then, the scrolls.’ I begin, but she interrupts me.
‘The scrolls are not wrong. But you don’t need to find the kind of healer that it tells you about. You are that kind of healer, my child.’ She said and stunned me.
‘What do you mean? I am not a healer.’ I say.
‘But you are. It lies deep in your genes. Your mother came from a very old and powerful family of healers.’
‘What? Why has no one told me?’ I ask.
‘I do not think your father knows. And it has been many generations since your family felt that power may have been forgotten.’ She says, and it makes sense.
I nod my head but don’t answer, and it makes him anxious, and he begins to check me in any way he can.
“Baby, please, what happened? I felt you sort of zone out for a while to come back to this state. Talk to me.” He begs me, and I look up at him.
“I can save Anna,” I tell him. And he looks at me, confused.
“What do you mean?” He asks, and I tell him everything I have just discovered.
“Baby, that is… I do not know what to say. I mean, it is amazing. And we need to learn more about it. But we also need to be careful about it and about who finds out.” He tells me and looks at me with soft eyes, but I feel the worry come from him.
“I know.”
We sat down and together looked in the scrolls again before we mindlink did, and my grandparents asked them to come to meet us in my office. We do not wait for long before they are here, and we all sit down. Logan tells them about Matt and Anna, and then I tell them about the scrolls Kate found for me.
