Lahat ng Kabanata ng Conceived under the moon: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Jolene is walking around the inside of her waterfall home. She tries to stare out through the water but she can’t. She does not like the fact that she can’t see anything outside but she’s grateful that no one can see inside either.She walks along and runs her fingers along the wall. All she can think about is Luna, she used to run her fingers on the walls like this. She trickles the drips of water from her fingertips and rubs it along her stomach. She feels a kick and is a little thrown off when she can see a handprint.She can help when she shouts out, “Apollo!”Suddenly, a bright light appears, and a polo runs up to her in a panic, “What’s wrong?”Julian can’t help her to laugh, “I’m sorry! It’s not a bad thing, look!”His eyes follow her hand as she motions to her stomach. She can’t help but to be filled with joy as she watches him place his big hand up against the tiny little handprint on her stomach.He whispers, “Hi!”Another hand print appears and he places both his hands on

Out of pure panic, Alice starts to shout and pray really hard. A stream of water forms and starts to float towards Jolene. Vines Form out of the inside of the cave they grow they start to wrap around Jolene’s body. The water seems to be helping the vines, faster, water and vines consume Jolene‘s body. Vlad attempts to remove the vines from her body, but Alice stops him, “Stop, they are helping her!” Vlad tries to argue, but then a vine slaps his hands causing him to back off. Suddenly Jolene‘s body floats into the air. They follow her body as it makes its way into the woods. A crowd has formed. Everyone is curious as to what is happening. Everyone is left in shock as her body is suddenly submerged in and under the water. Apollo reappears and demands, “Where is Jolene!” Vlad and Alice don’t know how to respond. All they can do is point into the water. Apollo makes a disapproving noise and he jocks into the water as well. Everyone attempts to watch what is happening, but no one can

Jolene wakes up to the girl awkwardly poking her, “Excuse me, miss?”Jolene lifts her head and giggles in embarrassment, “My bad!”She wipes the drool from her mouth, and tries to clean some off of the pages gently.The girl jokes, “Good book, huh?”Jolene nods, “I really enjoyed it..”She stops in her tracks and dramatically smells the air. Her stomach growls. She sets the book down. Making her way towards the food, she leaves the girl behind.The girl runs behind her, “Where are you going?”She runs around the corner and finds Jolene shoving her face with eggs and bacon and toast. She laughs, “Good?”Covering her mouth to hide the food, she exaggerates, “I thought the books were good!”She throws her head backward and moans, “This is so good!”The girls laughs.Jolene’s eyes go wide and she becomes apologetic, “I am so sorry! I don’t even know your name, and here I am eating all your food!”The girls laughs, “I’m Tonya!”Jolene makes an ah-ha noise, “Tonya suits you!”She rubs her

Jolene sits there and reads this book. It doesn’t say a lot about why she does everything that she does but it explains how. It’s written in the third person and the queen herself wrote the book. Jolene can’t believe all the horrible things that the queen had done to try to get power.She feels sorrow for other people that were hurt by her. All the creatures that she killed.. Before she can even finish the book, she has tears rolling down her face. She feels a strong arm forming around her waist. She smiles because she doesn’t even have to look to know that it’s Apollo.He wipes her tears, “What’s this?”She shrugs and waves the books slightly, “Not a fan of what I’m reading.”Apollo studies for a moment and it makes an annoying sigh, “Ahh- the queens memoir. This is how everyone will remember her.”The sarcasm in his voice is stern, “How did you get?”Jolene shows him what page she is on and he knows and then pretends to zip his lips.She can’t help but giggle, “What is that for?”H

Jolene is packing her clothes. It’s time for her to continue her journey. As she folds her clothes she comes across a dress that the water Goddess had made her. It has mystical powers. She holds it up to her chest and twirls it around. She collapses to the ground and cries into the dress. She’s not ready to go back to earth. She can’t handle it. She wishes for nothing more than to live on the sun with Apollo.Suddenly she feels a soft touch on her shoulders followed by a worried voice, “It will be okay!”Jolene can’t speak through her tears, instead she just shakes her head in response.Tonya continues, “We’ll be together! Everything will be fine!”Jolene cries out, “No, I have to leave today..”Tonya cuts her off, “We have to leave today..”Jolene jumps up in shock, “What do you mean?”The Goddesses voice booms through the room, “My lovely daughter is finally brave enough to go out into the world!”She proceeds to float across the room, “Thank you so much, Jolene!”Jolene and Tonya
