The Draven's 39-The Journey Begins
Layla’s POV: Amanda begins to go over what procedures I will be undergoing tomorrow and we work together all afternoon on everything from baby names to a birthing plan. I was nervous and scared as my thoughts raced with all the information I had discovered in the few short hours I was awake but a sense of peace also lingered in my chest that I couldn’t explain. The next morning came quicker than I had intended and Nicolae took some time away from working to escort me to the doctor Amanda had found. Once the initial check up was complete I was rushed into a dark room where the doctor began to measure our baby. They told us it was still too early to detect a heartbeat and suggested that I come back in two weeks time. Nicolae and I agreed and after we had our next appointment we phased back to the underworld and began to prepare for our trip. Lorie was not excited about us leaving but I assured her I would return whenever I could to see her between the meetings. She reluctantly agreed
The Draven's 40-Healing Light
Layla’s POV:Our group spent the first few days resting as much as possible and once everyone was refreshed we met with John in the great hall.“I am sure you know what we are here.” Nicolae says from across the table.“Yes I do and I have awaited your arrival with much anticipation.” John replies with a smile.“Then tell me what are your thoughts on peace for all the realms?” Nicolae asks.“Peace.” John says as he looks down at his hands.“Is such a thing really attainable?” He asks as he looks up at us with doubt in his eyes.“Don’t get me wrong, your majesty, I want peace as much as you do but is it realistic?” He asks.“It very much is attainable and with your help and the help of others we can achieve that.” I say in a firm but gentle voice.“Daddy daddy!” A little girl suddenly shouts as she runs up to John and climbs in his lap.I look at Nicolae and can see the loving look in his eyes as he watches the two from across the table.“Peace seems like just a dream.” John says as he
The Draven's 41-Logoic Plane Pt.2
Nicolae’s POV:“What happened?!” Amanda frets as she checks Layla over.“I’m not sure. All I know is that she got out of bed and walked through the halls as if she was in trance. She entered John's room, found his comatose wife and woke her.” I reply in summary.“She did what?!” Amanda says loudly.“She has to stop doing these things! They aren't good for her health if she passes out every time she uses her powers.” Amanda says and begins to dab a damp cloth to Layla's head.“I will send for a physician in the morning just in case. For now you both need to rest.” Amanda says and she stands and gives me a bow before leaving the room.I lay in bed gently next to Layla and slowly try to heal whatever is wrong with her but she doesn’t stir. When she still hasn’t awoken after a few days I begin to get increasingly more worried. Layla’s POV:I find myself in the familiar white space that I had discovered was called the Logoic Plane once again and at the sound of Michael’s voice I turn qui
The Draven's 42-War Approaches
Layla’s POV:I can feel the eyes of everyone in the room on me as Nicolae clears his throat and leads me to a chair next to his.“Nicolae, we were wrong.” I say after a few moments of silence.“Peace can not exist until we eradicate those who wish to oppose us.” Nicolae says and he leans back in his chair.At that moment I glance at the table to see war strategies laid across it with notes scribbled here and there with a map of the surrounding land and valley.“Are we already at war?” I say with a gasp.“Not yet my queen but it is very close.” John says as he leans forward.“But that's..How long have I been asleep?” I ask as I begin to try and recall the number of times I had felt the healing touch Nicolae had used.“It's been a month, your majesty.” John's wife says with her head low.“I want to thank you for helping me.” She says softly as I try to wrap my head around the amount of time I had been asleep in this realm.“Nicolae, we can’t do this.” I say as tears begin to sting my ey
The Draven's 43-Labor on the Battlefield
Layla’s POV: The day was finally here and we were being summoned into the valley by our enemies. Our army readied themselves and with a wave of my hand I clothed them in the finest armor and gave them the finest weapons. Amanda helped me onto a horse and as I mounted Nicolae came up beside me on a horse of his own. “I may not agree with this but trust you, my queen.” He says with a slight bow. I smile gently at him and then take off at a slow pace to the meeting spot. Once we arrive I spot a general on a horse in the field waiting for our arrival. Nicolae and I approach him and stop a few feet away. “Is this really necessary?” Nicolae asks with his head held high. “This vision of peace that you are so hell bent on your majesty is just that, a vision. In all my years none of our kind have ever been at peace.” The general says with a smirk. “But it is possible. I have seen it.” I replied. “And we are just supposed to take the word of a witch?” The general laughs. “If you do not
The Draven's 44-Birth of the Prince and Princess
Layla’s POV: I cry out in pain in response and I can feel Amanda hand on top of my pelvis. “Push now!” She says and I push as hard as I can and scream out in pain as I begin to feel like I am being ripped in two. “Alright, that was good again!” She says and I push again. Waves of pain continue to crash over me with each push as the minutes seem to drag by. “Please make it stop!” I cry out in pain and I grip Nicolae’s hand tighter. “You're the only one here that can make the pain stop, my lady now push!” Amanda instructs and I push once more. This time however my efforts are not in vain and a small cry echoes in the room within seconds as our first little one enters into the world. “You're not out of the woods yet my lady. One, two, three, push!” Amanda says again and more pain hits me as I see a woman swaddle my newborn baby in a blanket. “Please!” I pead as my body pushes again to relieve some of the pain it is feeling. “Good, good, that's it, one more big push!” Amanda say
The Draven's 45-Victory Together
Layla’s POV: I slowly blink my eyes as the room comes back into focus. I sit up slowly to see Amanda sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. “You should really rest my lady. The little ones will be up soon and we have a long journey to begin tomorrow.” She says with a smile. “A long journey? Where are we going?” I ask curiously. “It has been decided that we will be returning to the underworld soon.” She replies. “But..is it safe to be phasing this far with the twins just being born?” I ask as I glance at their cribs. “Oh no my lady, your husband has arranged special transportation for us. He insists we go by car until we can go no further then phase into the underworld. Most of the others have already gone ahead and we will follow in three days after you have rested more.” She replies with a reassuring smile. I nod, satisfied with her answer and lie back down onto the soft pillows and let sleep take me once more. As Amanda has said we leave in three days time. We stayed
The Draven's 1-Nights at Draven Manor
Layla's POV:It's a cold autumn night. I'm running as fast as I can through a thick forest. The moonlight that shines through the trees is bright and you can see the full moon through breaks in the leaves above me. My heart is racing as I look down at the dress and heels I am struggling to run in. As I look over my shoulder at the black figure chasing me I can hear the faint cry of a wolf in the distance. Who or what is chasing me? I gather more of my dress in my hands hoping to improve my speed. I hear the wolf's cry once more but closer this time. I'm out of breath but I can't stop. I must get as far away from the creature chasing me as I can.I hear the sound of something running closely at my side. Instinctively I look towards the sound. An enormous wolf like creature comes into view and for a moment our eyes lock. The creature's eyes that are silver in color look almost human, but how can that be? The creature lunges over me sending my chaser crashing into a tree
