Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 383 Everyone turned in horror as Carly stood in the grass , white eye blind to the world , voice too deep for a freshly seven year old child .

Rick turned back to me , because the goddess left my body , and we were once again alone .

Is that who I think it is ? Carly chuckled in a voice that sounded like she was grown .

If you are asking if I am the Shaman , I am indeed .

She turned to me .

High above us , where the stars can reach , the secret you are searching for has taken root .

Something in my chest loosened .

Something my soul has figured out , but my brain was still trying to catch up .

What do you mean ? You know .

She smiled , and then I watched her start to fall .

Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and before she could slam into the ground , I caught her .

Holy shit , you have the shaman here ? Rick paced .

Abby is playing with the shaman ? Shelly looked confused .

Ternen , sweet Ternen , just looked at us , Who or what is the shaman ? Everyone froze for a second and then everyone , including the newly awakened Carly , laughed .

I think the comment broke through everyones heightened emotions and brought us all back down .

Wendy , Toya , and Abby all came out of the cabin and walked up to the laughing crowd .

Everything okay ? Toya sounded worried .

I nodded .

Why ? Toya pointed to Carly .

The girls were playing with the dolls and this one sprinted from the room .

Carly wiggled to get down from my arms .

I felt a vision coming on and I needed to be with Amy when it hit .

She looked up at them .

Im sorry if I scared you .

Wendy crouched down with a smile .

Its okay , sweetheart .

She tickled her side , earning a giggle .

We understand that your power pushes you to do things .

We just worry , is all .

Carly hugged her and then turned to me .

You remember my words ? I nodded .

Good .

Then she turned to Abby .

Do you want to go back to play dolls ? Yes .

Abby danced in Toyas arms .

Hold your horses , girls .

My moms voice carried from the porch .

We all turned in surprise .

Ma ? She laughed .

Morgan and Shannon are gone .

The house is locked up and I came through with dinner .

She waved us over .

on and eat , and then we can figure out or next steps .

She walked back into the house .

Come 1/4 # 20 Bonu Morgan left the house ? Toya lifted her brows .

I nodded .

You missed the bomb that dropped today .

Toya and Wendy looked intrigued .

Ill tell you later .

Porch wine ? Wendy offered .

I nodded .

Porch wine .

I winked as we all turned and headed to the door .

Porch wine ? Shelly caught up to me .

I laughed .

Yeah , after Carly is in bed , the three of us will catch up on the porch with a glass of wine .

Toya started called it porch wine after the first night .

I slipped my arm around hers .

When you are here , you are more than welcome to join us .

Oh I cant .

She shook her head with a chuckle .

Why the heck not ? I shook her lightly .

Because I have Abby .

I snorted .

Rick will be here , and she will be cured by then .

Im sure the man you mated can handle her for one night .

She looked at me through her lashes .

You promise ? I distractedly nodded .

Promise what ? That he can handle his kid for a night .

Goddess , I freaking hope so .

I laughed .

Shelly chuckled with me as we went up the porch steps , but she shook her head .

No.

About Abby being cured by then ? I pulled her to a stop before the door .

The only reason Im not curing her instantly is because Vince would feel it .

Or who ever he had to do the curse .

Its connected to the caster , and if any die , or the curse is lifted , they are instantly alerted .

She quivered in my arms .

I cant lose her .

And you wont .

I squeezed her .

Mommy , come on .

Grandna Ainsley made lasagna , and garlic bread .

Abby bounced on her toes .

I looked at her .

Is lasagna your favorite ? She nodded .

My y mom makes the best lasagna ever .

Abby looked at her mom .

I think my mom does .

I smiled .

Well , I guess we have to find out .

Tonight we will have my moms , and maybe soon , we will get to have your moms .

She grinned , and we headed inside .

But instantly , something felt off .

I left everyone downstairs as I made my way upstairs .

Nels and Megans hackles were up .

I started to run , but something was wrong .

I ran to my bedroom and realized my mom had left the connecting doors opened in her haste to come over with her hands full .

I went to close them , but I heard something scraping against metal .

I slipped through the doors , closing them as I went , and made it to my bedroom door when I heard it again .

A soft scrap of something against my lock .

I spun the lock and wrenched my door open .
