Destined To Be Greatness novel Chapter 11

Another wave of pain shot through my body and I closed my eyes. This pain was becoming unbearable. My grip on Jake's and James's hands loosened as I passed out hoping that the darkness will help take away the pain.

Jay's P.O.V

I was surrounded by nothing but darkness. There wasn't even a sliver of light anywhere. I screamed out my pack mates names but I got no reply.

What is going on?

I walked around searching for a way out or any sign of life. I screamed in frustration and sat down placing my head in my hands. You need to calm down Jay, calm down.

Taking deep breaths I eventually calmed down and instructed myself to think. After a few minutes everything that happened flashed before my eyes. Running from a green haired Penny, the burning pain, collapsing, my brothers cooling me down and then finally falling into the darkness.

I can't be dead can I? I questioned. When I thought about it, it seemed like it could be a possibility. I mean there's no way that someone could survive that kind of pain. I was so into my thoughts that I didn't notice that I was no longer sat in the dark but in light. I lifted my head up from my hands and looked at where the light was coming from. It was like someone had just opened a door to heaven. I squinted my eyes to see if I could make anything out but I couldn't, the light was too bright.

The light began to fade slightly and I was able to make out a black silhouette, making its way towards me.

"Jessica." The figure said. Judging by the voice I could tell that it was a woman.

"I don't go by that name anymore, its Jay." I replied. "Why am I here? Am I dead?"

The women laughed before answering me. "I can tell you that you are not dead and as to why you are here. I will get to that in a moment." The women stepped out of the light and I was finally able to make her out. Her hair was as white as snow, her eyes were the lightest of blues and her skin was as pale as her hair. Going by her looks she looked like she was in her late twenties and she was quite small for her age, probably the same height as me.

"Please, just tell me why I'm here," I pleaded.

"I'll be saving the human race." I supplied.

"Ah yes thank you. A great evil will be upon us soon, and it will be threatening the lives of humans. You along with other super naturals must come together to stop it and you, Jay, will be the one to end it all. You are more powerful than you know. I have given you the power of fire. I must apologise that in order for you to hold this power, your fist shift had to be delayed. You see a sixteen year olds body is not strong enough to hold such power and that power is released when you shift, so I had to delay your shift. For that I am truly sorry."

When she finished talking I tried to process the information that she had just told me. I was in the process of shifting for the first time, I now held great power of fire and I was going to save the human race. I don't know about most teenagers but this kind of thing definitely doesn't happen every day.

"What's going to happen when I go back?" I asked finally.

"You will notice that a few things have changed about you but I'm going to let you figure out that on your own. You will also have to keep your temper in check because as you now know you possess the element of fire and getting anger will only unleash it, and you could end up injuring someone or even yourself. And as soon as you wake up you must begin training immediately as the war is almost here. I have to go now. Just remember that I am always watching over you and I wish you good luck." The moon goddess slowly started to walk out of the room.
