(This takes place a month after the pups arrive at New Dawn)
NIcole whined and whimpered in her sleep as she tossed and turned She and her brothers shared a room in the main building of the new place they had come to. They were still adjusting and hadnt quite gotten used to being there yet. Nicole was still a bit uncomfortable and frightened and didnt understand why but the place scared her. In her dreams she saw many deaths and lots of blood of many unknown people. In the midst of them all she saw her friend Nastasia and the more she focused on her friend the more all of the bad stuff went away.
Her physical body stilled and relaxed.She went over to where her friend stood and greeted her although when she saw that Nastasia looked sad. She frowned. "What's wrong Cece?"She asked the older girl. Nastasia stood tall and thin with soft curls that stopped in the middle of her back and her iced blue eyes held such sadness that it hurt Nicole just to look at them. She had the same complexion as Nikki. Nastasia turned and gave her a small smile.
"This is momma's pack but momma's not here no more." She said softly.She turned to Nikkiand reached for her hand Nikki Hesitated before grabbing her hand. "Come on I will show you. There's no need to worry. Youre safe here. Momma protects this place." She said smiling. Nikki relaxed only a little,wondering who Cece's mom was. She and her brothers didnt have a mother though Papa bear told them stories of a girl who she suspected was their mother.
As soon as Nicole took Nastasia's hand they moved so fast she had to close her eyes. When she opened them she was in the front yard of a home that had been burned to the grown and had become partially covered by vegitation. The energy there nearly bombarded her and had her wanting to cry. Nastasia sensed this and turned to pick her up. "Shh, it will be ok. No need to worry. " Nastasia carried her around the back where part of the gate had been burned and knocked down.
Nicole felt the immenseenergy slowly stop pounding against her. She looked up at Nastasia and tilted her head. "How'd you do that?" She asked and Nastasia chuckled softly.
"My nanna taught me. She can teach you too if you want." She offered. Nikki wasnt entirely sure how it was done but if it took away bad feelings then shedidnt mind. "Yea." Nicole said and grinned.
Nastasia grinned and twirled her. Nicole giggled and held her close.Since she could remember, Nastasia had always been with her. She had always felt safe with the older girl and adored her. "Good. I'll ask Nanna to teach you then."She said and stopped to place Nicole on her feet. Nicole was reluctant to let her go but Nastasia patiently waited until she did.
Nicole was led to where she was able to view the whole back yard. There were weeds and overgrownplants everywhere. Some areas were were devoid of plant life, though. She looked around the yard confused as to why she was brought there. She turned to Nastasia with a questioning gaze though she didnt say anything as she saw how closely Nastasia was watching her then she felt it. It was waves of warmth and peace that pulsed and it caught her attention.
"Waht's that?" She asked. Nastasia smiled and shooed her forward. "Its a gateway. One that was created by my momma. I used to come and sit with her here all the time."She said.
"What's a gateway?" Nikki asked curiously as she looked at the tree where the pulses were coming from.
"Agateway is like a door to the spirit world. Our family is responsible for keeping them safe and making sure bad people dont go through it and that bad spirits dont come through either. Momma never went throughthe gateway but she always allowed me and pop popto come through. I loved being with momma but when she was taken away we couldnt see her anymore." Nastasia said close to tears Nicole wasnt sure how to react or even if she should.
"Dont worry little sister, Im not sad anymore because now I have you. You look so much like momma.Nanna thinks so too. " Nastasia said and wiped her face.
"How does your Nanna know me?" Nicole asked
"Well she's your Nanna too. Why wouldnt she know you?" Nastasia asked as if that was something that Nicole should have known.
"She is?" Nicole asked still a tad bit lost.
"Yeah." Nastasia said slowly and gave her a curious look.
"So we're related?"She asked as her young mind tried to wrap around what she was being told.
"Yeah." Nastasia said slowly once more unsure if she should go into detail or not about how exactly they were related. Nicole was her little sister,Lance and Nicoholas were her brothers and her other little sister was lost like their mom and was being hurt and forced to be bad. Whenever she thought about Lacey it made her sad but Lady Luna told her everything would be ok. She hoped that it would, she didnt like what was happening to her little sister.
Nastasia looked at Nicole and decided not to tell her much more. She was still young and influential and Nastasia wasnt supposed to influence her in any way. Watch over her, guide her, teach her and basically be there for her when she needed her most especially during the time before her guardian awakened. She wanted so badly to tell her that she was talking about their mother, how this was her home and these her people. She wanted to tell here where their mother was and why she coldnt come home.
She wanted to tell her what was in store for her and the others because of what her grandfather had done to them. She wanted to tell her About her her uncle and how he would come for them all. She wanted to tell her sdo much but knew that it wasnt the right time to tell her. She could see the burning curiosity in her eyes and sighed.
"How?" Nicole asked and Nastasia hesitated. "I...I cant tell you how...just yet. But the reason I brought you here was so that you could know there is a safe place for you here."
"What is this feeling?" Nicole asked after silently watching Nastasia. She reached out as if to touch the warmth that pulsed outward.
"Its the gateway resonating with your spiritual energy. You have very defined and strong spiritual presence. "Nastasia said with a grin though it soon slipped. "I wanted you to experience it before it was too late." She said softly fighting with herself on whether or not to tell her more though she couldn't help but inform her sister.
"You are still young...all of you are. I cant tell you a whole lot but you nor your brothers will be able to come back here after your first shifts. Something...something's gonna change in you and depending on that change, the gateways will not welcome you the same. The others on the other side will stop you from accessing the gateway. " She said and noticed that Nicole looked a bit frightened and Nastasia whined.
"I am sorry. I wont say anymore. Come let's just enjoy the family tree." She walked to the tree and sat underneath it. Nicole came and sat in her lap snuggling close.
"Its so warm." Nicole said with a giggle that had Nastasia smiling.
"Momma put a lot of time and energy into growing this tree and creating this gateway. This is a special gateway for our family. It's guarded on this side by momma and guarded on the other side by Nanna and Pop pop." Nastasia's eyes grew sad a moment. "Well it used to be guarded by momma." She said sadly. Nicole twisted around and gave her a hug before turning back around and snuggling back into her arms.
"Don't worry Cece, it's gonna be ok. We will find your momma and bring her home." She said with such confidence that it had Nastasia smiling through her tears. It would seem as though the tables had turned and Nicole was now comforting her. She held her sister close, knowing that soon she would have to leave.
"I know you will little sister." She said softly and cradled her in her arms until she felt her drift off to sleep.
