Dear Diary,

I think the Goddesses hate me. Or are toying with me. I had just started talking to James about going back to school in August, but then my ex roommate, Farrah, called me.

She told me she was a dark witch, and that her girlfriend, Josie, was actually her soul-tie and a warlock. She knew a lot about me. According to her, I didn’t have time to go back to school, I needed to prepare for war. And then she sent me the letter David gave me on my birthday last year. I had completely forgotten about it, and never opened it. And after reading it, I wish I never did.

Hybrids, beyond myself, existed in a safe place. A place David knew about and never told me about. And he was working with Farrah. I confronted him, of course, and he told me everything. He had a book filled with names of hybrids all around the world.

So many people kept so many secrets from me. I was livid. It was all too much for me, and I ended up hurting James again. I took too much of his blood and then I left to make sure I didn’t hurt him more or anyone else.

Celeste was the one who found me. And she calmed me. And then she took me to them. The time I spent there was insightful. I met the hybrids. They accepted me and I them. All these years, they were waiting for the hybrid of the prophecy to come, and now I was here.

During my time in the Forbidden Woods, I came up with a plan to prepare for this war. I also asked Celeste about what she said about choosing a mate. I told her I refuse to choose anyone but James to be my mate. She seemed to be satisfied with that and said he will be king at the end of this.

When I got home, James was nowhere to be found, so I jumped to him. He was with Stella, Jordan, Farrah and Josie. I’m not going to lie and say everything was all good- it wasn’t. I exploded on them and demanded an explaination.

And no, Jordan and Stella were not innocent. Stella was the High Priestess, she knew Farrah and Josie and didn’t say anything. And Jordan had the gift of sight, he saw through their masks and didn’t tell me. His excuse was that they didn’t seem like a threat, and he didn’t know who they were.

Farrah explained that after Vasilia, she was the second strongest dark witch. She said that she couldn’t tell me who she was until I fully accepted my destiny. She wanted to, when she first met me, but she had a vision that things would be bad if she did, so she waited.

I told them I would forgive them as long as there were no more lies. In truth, I think it was because Josie reminded me of of the little hybrid girl I met earlier, thanks to Celeste. She was innocent, and brought into something she probably didn’t ask for.

You’d think that was enough, but before I left, Jordan told me there was a bounty on me. After James almost killed him – Gaia used her aura to make him stop – we found out that it was closed, and Jordan’s family was in charge. Jordan has been stalling. I couldn’t deal with any more information.

I told them that starting tomorrow we would train in the Forbidden Woods. Farrah too, since she chose to be my second guardian and fight in Stella’s stead. And yes, second, because Jordan was my first. The bond he and Gaia created was an blood bond. He was my guardian and his life was tied to mine. Farrah’s life was her own, but she swore it to me without the blood bond.

When we got home, I apologized to James, made love to him, and then told him everything that happened after I nearly drained him of all his blood again…

I need to learn control. Training starts tomorrow, so I’m going to bed. If I have time to write again, I will. But with this war coming up, I don’t know. We’ll see.

As always, wish me luck.

XOXO
