A Twist in the Starnik's Past
Chapter 1: The Accident
Myka's P.O.V
"So, my dear half-sister has birthed three deliciously, gorgeous pups now three moons old, my nephews and niece, mine and my family's nemesis is long gone and never coming back, and to make things greater, I'm pregnant. Nearly a week to be a little more precise since I find out, and nothing could have made me, Jack or any of my family any happier. Tony was a little more then over the moon when we told him, he kept saying how I wasn't the pup he raised with my adoptive parents, but a grown she-wolf. He makes me laugh. Dad was ready to tear Jack apart, but they came to a clear understanding on the same day, after all, I wouldn't let him seeing as we share the same gift and I was the only one who was able to hold him off, plus no-one wanted to leave me to raise god knows how many, but that was all in the fun of it, we didn't know. It was amazing, but dreadful after mom told me what to expect. But that's not why I'm doing this. The reason I'm writing this, is because this was something I never want to forget. I did something this morning that nearly changed everything, and I mean everything. I nearly erased my siblings and my own existence, because of me; I nearly undid everything that my family had worked so hard for. And I'm saying this because I want to remember to never do it again, and if any of my children see this, to know that they should never try it either. It started off a graceful, beautiful day in mine and Jack's den in Idaho…"
"Jack, can you come here a moment please?!" I call out from the inside of the den. Clare and Gary came by earlier, neither able to believe we were married and now that I'm expecting. They were more then over joined, but it was great, we had our little gang back together and this time nothing would be able to prevent it again. It was a more then average day now that I'm pregnant, but other then the need to throw up whatever I ate this morning; it was nothing out of the ordinary. Jack walked into the den and I lay in with my book of Shadows slash diary laid out in front of me. Oh his smile, it made me melt inside.
"Hey gorgeous." He grinned. He walked over to me and kissed me deeply. I savoured the moment; I loved his touch, even more his kisses. "What's up?" He asked sitting back.
"Just sit there and don't move." He replied and looking back down to my book, so he did and sat patiently. "Bring forth my mate and me, make him fall on bended knee, to be by my side throughout all time, bring his heart and make it mine." I looked up to him, expecting some sort of reaction that indicates it had an effect on him. But he didn't show any sign of it working. I smiled; it was exactly what I wanted to see. I reached forward and pulled him onto a passionate kiss in which he wrapped his paws around me and pulled me over him, all without breaking the kiss. I stood over him with my paws either side of him as it grew in intensity until finally we let each other go after a lack of breathing.
"I think you lost your powers again." My hunky grey wolf chuckled.
"Nope, it just shows I don't need to cast a love spell to know you love me." I giggled and kissed him again.
"You don't have to cast a love spell to know I love you." He chuckled again as he pulled back and I looked down at him.
"Oh I know, and I have the evidence." I replied and motioning down to my stomach.
"Made with all my heart and love for you." He said softly and running his paw down my side and resting it on my stomach and above our pups. I caressed his touch, oh how I loved it.
"Oh stop it, you know I like it when you do that." I giggled.
"Hence why I'm doing it."
"Well listen, I wanna go and see mom and dad today, maybe when I get back, me and you could have a little fun." I said seductively and grinding my body against his a single time. I liked it, and I know he did even though he didn't show it.
"I think I can handle that." He ginned. I kissed him quickly and stepped off him. "Want me to come with you?"
"Let's go, you still need to make up with dad." I giggled. He shivered at the thought, only making me laugh as we stepped outside. I held lout my paw for him in which he took before I spoke and picturing mom and dad's den lightly in my mind. "There is no time to stop and stare, make it quick to travel there, for it is time that I now need, take me there so I may succeed." We were consumed in green light, the same my eyes turn and the same that runs in my blood as the Starnik gene took over. The light grew all around us and blinded me momentarily before it started to clear and our surroundings changed. It dimmed quickly and as it cleared to my right was mom and dad's den filled with all that human stuff they have here and to the left and over looking the Valley through a gap in the trees was where they sat side by side. I had the puppy in me overcome my body and I squealed in glee and tackled my father in which after he knew it was me he wrapped his paws around me and hugged it out.
"Hey baby girl." He laughed.
"Hi daddy."
"You only saw us a few days ago, what's all this for?" He asked while still laughing and I lay on him close to his chest. I couldn't help but feel as my cheek brushed over those scars on his neck that was clearly visible. But I didn't care; I'd seen and felt them too many times to even notice them.
"I just wanted to see you, I missed you already." I giggled.
"Well it's always nice to see you too." I looked up and around as mom and Jack finished hugging and she turned to see me. I jumped of dad laughing and ran into her chest; tail wagging and she started laughing.
"How are you doing honey?" She giggled.
"I'm doing ok, better if it wasn't for Jack." I replied.
"What do you mean?" She asked in a more serious tone.
"He made me this way, it's his entire fault." I giggled again and looking over her shoulder to wink at Jack. I felt mom relax a little more and let out an amused sigh.
"Myka?" A female voice asked. I looked behind Jack as he stepped out of the way, and Lupa and Faolan sat with their three pups Kodak, Shane and Sarah. She suddenly squealed loudly, but then again, so did I and we ran across the small gap and flew into one another and embraced each other tightly while giggling away. "Mom and Scott told us when we came the other day." She giggled. "Congratulations!" It was strange to feel her these days. She now lives as the Earth Angel, a spirit. She died on the night the Ditori fell and her body still lies there. She has no heartbeat, no breath or warmth, but her pups still get some sense of life around her if they still like to lie with her.
"Thanks, it's so good to see you again!"
"I know!" She laughed as we pulled apart but keeping our paws around one another. "It's been nearly two weeks, that's too long."
"What about Dakota? Have you seen him?" I asked as we finally let each other go.
"I saw him this morning; he's going to come by any time now." She looked around me and I knew her eyes had settled on Jack. "And you, come here!" She ordered and walking quickly around to him. While she did that, I walked over to Faolan who opened his giant mitts for me.
"Congrats, you'll make a great mom." He whispered.
"Thanks, it's good to see you all again."
"Auntie Myka, Auntie Myka!" Sarah giggled as she came around. I couldn't help but play along. I wriggled out of Faolan's grasp and crouched down opposite her and she practically hugged my muzzle seeing as how small she still was.
"Hey dear, how have you been?" I asked.
"We're ok." She answered.
"Can you show us a spell?" Kodak asked suddenly. "Daddy said you would." I looked up to him with a confused face.
"Lupa and I told them about this family and how special they were going to be one day. We thought it was about time they knew, so they know everything." He smiled.
"Ahh, so you know now do you."
"That you're a witch and grandma and grandpa are the Starnik, it's so cool!" Shane laughed as he bounded around. "I can't wait for my eyes to change."
"Can you still show us something?" Kodak asked again as they all lined up in front of me. I only smiled and swirled my paw in a circle high above their heads and speaking.
"For in their heart this season glows, bring forth that season's snows." As I finished, small but heavy snowflakes started to fall from the underside of my paw and onto them. They started laughing and playing with each flake, trying to catch them and just playing around in it. A moment later, we all heard that unmistakable low boom and rumble that was my dearest brother appearing in the background. He stepped up behind me and whispered in my ear.
"Mom and Scott told me and Chance yesterday, congratulations." He said and licking my cheek. The flakes falling from my paw seemed to stop by themselves after that and I arose to pull him into a hug.
"How's Chance and where is she?"
"She's spending the day with her dad, so I thought I'd use this time wisely." He replied as he let go.
"This is nice, having the family over again." Mom said out of the blue.
"We all came here only two weeks ago, we all do every month." Lupa laughed.
"Still, it's nice when it's not planned." She added.
"In that case then, I'm going to catch some lunch." Dad said as he started to turn around and head towards the Valley.
"I'll give you a paw sir." Jack said as he trotted along side to him.
"Think you'll live without me for a little while?" Faolan asked to Lupa.
"As Long as Kodak can chew your ear afterwards, then yes, go for it." He kissed her before running off after them.
"You know, I can't wait for the day that when the pups are old enough and you have yours that we can all hunt together." Mom laughed.
"A little like a pack then?" Dakota chuckled.
"We are a pack now." Mom replied. "Just a far apart one."
"Very far apart." Lupa giggled and rounding up her pups. Dakota gave her a hand and played with them while mom and I walked over to the edge of the cliff with mom to look over the Valley, the sole reason I came here.
"So how are you feeling?" She asked.
"Sick, nothing new." I replied.
"Sick now or just constantly feel like it?"
"Now and always." I replied with a smile
"That's a good sign." She giggled.
"Ergh, how did you do it, and twice, one with a human?" I groaned
"That human is your father might I remind you." She laughed. "But seriously, what kept me going was that the outcome is more then a blessing. It's all worth it in the end, just remember that."
"I will, thanks." I smiled. "On that topic, I've got another question." I added.
"What is it?" She smiled just as warmly if not warmer.
"Well, I love dad with all my heart, nothing can change that. But why did you fall for him?" She looked at me strangely, but certainly taken back and confused by the strange yet random question. But as I'm told, something I get from her. "I know Shadow and grams had a part to play, but how?"
"Well, to be honest, neither did I." She answered and looking back out across the Valley.
"I know you were great friends before and lived here." I pointed back to the den with Dakota and Lupa playing with her pups. "But how can you do all that and nearly risk it all."
"I really don't know either. But technically, it was him who started it, he kissed me first and then we were taken over, literally. I fell in love with his wolf, and only when he was it was I in love with him."
"That's totally not confusing." I replied sarcastically.
"Well maybe you can come up with a little spell of yours to find the answer." She suggested.
"You'd be ok with it? I don't know if it'll work or do the right thing. I could mess up big time."
"I'm sure you'll be ok, you'd put it right if you did." She replied licking my cheek. "Let me know too, I would like to find out and make sure I wasn't crazy that night." She added and then walking away behind me to be left with my thoughts. But as I was thinking, Lupa and Dakota sat either side of me.
"Mom said you were going to find out something." He said.
"That you were going to see what made them fall in love or something." Lupa added.
"I'm just confused as to how mom could fall in love with a human; she gave me permission to use a spell to find out myself."
"Mind if we join you?" Lupa asked. "I've had that question on my mind for a long time."
"Me too, come on, do it." Dakota added. I smiled at both of them and placed my paw over there's. I looked back at mom seeing her play with my adorable nephews and her grand-pups and for a moment nodding before getting down to playing again. I looked over the Valley and searched for the right words, the wrong ones and I could mess this up seriously. Who knows what could go wrong. I thought of what I wanted; I thought of something that their love did, me. I was the outcome of their love, so that's what I could use to set this spell.
"The story of our parent's mystery, let it be revealed to my brother, sister and me, searching for that answer throughout their time, give me that answer within this rhyme." Suddenly, the ground started to rumble and without a warning, green sparks in their millions spewed out of the ground like a mechanic grinder against metal. It made a wall around us, my heart beat frantically, and I knew the same went for my brother and I would say the same for Lupa, but I can't for obvious reasons. But it was then the ground beneath us gave away and led down into a bright, burning white light, something that made me start to think I cast a spell to kill us and now we're falling into heaven, strangely. But we fell, and we couldn't see the bottom. We screamed and yelled as we spun out of control and wildly, neither of us knowing what was happening. I just killed us, I knew it, and now because of me, we're falling into oblivion.
Hey guys, i'm back! I never seem to leave the Archive for long before i put up a new story. So here we are, it's so great to be writing another Starnik Story. This one i'm going to try and keep short, i don't epect it to be more then ten chapters long. But I've said that before, and look at the length of my others. hahaha
So, Myka, Dakota and Lupa seemed to have fallen somewhere, but where? Where are they going and what has happened? Only time will tell. I hope you guys enjoy it. Those that are reading this and haven't read the Starnik series will not understand most of this, so i suggest to leave this and then read them before coming back to this, otherwise yuo won't have a clue what i'm on about. But anyway, i hope you like it. Until next time. :)
