Unaltered #2_A Diamond in my Heart Read Online Free PDF

onto his
physical form but I could no longer track him using the diamond’s
powers; he’d gone ‘invisible’ again. Being able to see him but not
feel him confused me greatly. I knew I must alert the
others.”
    “What do you think he’s using or doing
to hide from you?”
    “I don’t worry so much about the
logistics of his ability to block us as much as I worry about his
reason. The ‘why’ is much more disconcerting. Freedom disagrees
with my choices and feels life on this planet should play out
chaotically with disasters and illnesses keeping the population
under control. However, that would also mean people of powers would
rise up and rule the rest, as in my early days, and the Unaltered
blood line would have ended during the Black Plague in
1348.
    “The Diamond Bearers chose not to
eradicate the plague because it would have been in direct violation
with nature. The world’s population suffered a huge hit but without
it the planet would be overrun with humans right now. However,
Freedom, his wife and two children were infected and were going to
die. I stepped in and healed Freedom and his oldest, a son, to keep
the bloodline going. Freedom was to be the next Diamond Bearer and
his son would continue the line. There was nothing to indicate to
me that Freedom would stray from the path of nature, but once he
became a Diamond Bearer and learned what I had done, his true
nature surfaced.
    “His son lived a full life
and had several children, the first of which was Unaltered thus
passing down the gene to continue the line. In Freedom’s mind, the
good thing I did was not right and as his son aged the more it
angered him. The fire was fueled with the deaths of his
grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. Freedom feels I took
away his choice, I forced him into this immortal state against his
will; in essence, he’s right. This is something you’ll need to wrap
your mind around, Calli. Your present family will die before you.
Your future family will die before you, and some because of you. But the
first born from every generation will be protected and guarded,
placed on the ready, should any be needed in the way you were
needed.”
    “So, is every Diamond Bearer a
descendant of yours?”
    “Almost.”
    “Am I?”
    “Yes.”
    “So you’re like my great, great,
great, great…how many greats?”
    “Three-hundred
generations.”
    “You’re the greatest grandmother ever!
How is it you’ve kept your existence a secret? I mean, you and all
of the other Diamond Bearers. Why didn’t Mrs. Winter know about
you, or Chris, or the Death Clan for that matter? We have ancient
Greek mythology stories, Bible stories, even King Tut stories, but
no Diamond Bearer stories.”
    “You are comparing the lives of
twenty-one individuals to entire empires and civilizations; of
course you’ll have stories about them still surviving in this day
and age. A small handful of people, regardless of their powers and
abilities, slip through the cracks of time; besides, those grand
iconic stories you mentioned are just fun bedtime stories told and
retold to the point of becoming myths. The real stories behind the
myths are much more interesting, trust me. How have we kept our
existence hidden? We stay out of sight for our own
preservation.”
    “Once I have all the shards inside me
I’ll be able to communicate with the other Diamond Bearers,
right?”
    “Yes, and they with you.”
    “When will that happen?”
    “When I know with a certainty you
won’t become another Freedom. Do you have any other questions at
this time, Calli?”
    “You’re leaving? Will I be able to
communicate with you? I thought you were bringing Beth and that I’d
be learning how to spot auras? What do I do in the
meantime?”
    “Yes, I’m leaving. I have other
pressing business to attend to. In the meantime you need to
practice meditation. Learn how to control your mind; learn how to
bring yourself to a place of neutrality. As far as communication,
