Chapter 1 - Who Am I?

Her head hurt. Why did her head hurt? Slowly she opened her eyes, blinking several times to adapt to the glaring light coming from a torch bracket on the wall above her head. She tried to sit up but was somehow being restrained. It was then that she realised her hands and feet were bound by rope. As she looked around she could see that she was in some sort of cave. Where was she? Wait! Who was she?
"Ah, I see you're awake," whispered a disembodied voice. She quickly looked around searching for who ever had spoken.
"Who are you? Where am I?" She asked. For some reason her eyes were drawn to the darkest corner of the cave. The longer she stared at the shadows the more solid they became and before she could register what had happened there was a man dressed in black standing before her.
"My name is Marcus Affreux and you are in the Affreux Compound of the Underworld." The Underworld? Why did that sound familiar? All she knew was that this guy made her feel uneasy and she wanted to get as far away from him as possible.
"What happened? How did I get here?"
"All these questions will be answered in time," replied Marcus as he began to slowly pace in front of her.
"I want them answered now!" Okay this guy is freaking me out, she thought.
"Dear, dear Courtney. Always in such a rush." Courtney? Was that her name? It felt familiar but sounded very wrong coming from this man's lips. "What's the matter Courtney, you look confused. Is there something wrong? Missing memories perhaps?" Courtney's eyes widened in shock.
"You! You did this, didn't you? You, you somehow wiped my memories. Why? Why did you do this to me!" She yelled as she frantically struggled to loosen the rope. But, to her dismay, they didn't even budge. Submitting to defeat she looked up and stared him straight in the eye, but had to quickly look away because what she saw terrified her. What she saw wasn't even human. It was evil. Pure evil. As if sensing her fear, Marcus burst into laughter.
"Dear Courtney you always were the feisty one weren't you? Yes, it was me who kidnapped you, who brought you here and erased your memories."
"I'll ask again why?"
"Simple my dear..."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT! You can't kidnap me, erase my memories and then call me dear!"
"Like I was saying, it's simple my dear. You come from a powerful line of Witches..."
"Witches?" she asked sceptically.
"YES WITCHES! Now will you stop interrupting? As I was saying you come from a long line of powerful Witches. Your mother and aunts were the most powerful thus far. That was until you were born"
"Me?" She was finding it hard enough to believe in Witches but to be one her-self was even more unbelievable.
"Yes you. You see whilst pregnant with you your mother had the unfortunate accident of running into a Vampire and Werewolf on the same night, both of which obviously attacked her. Fortunately for her, her Wendigo genes, which are still present from a prior transformation, counteracted the new Vampire and Werewolf genes rendering them useless. But," now he seemed to get excited with his story because he had stopped pacing and was now crouched down in front of her.
"But?" she asked urging him to continue.
"But, not before some of those genes had entered your body."

"So what are you saying, I'm part Witch, Vampire and Werewolf?"
"In a manner of speaking, yes you are. I don't know if you've noticed but you have turned your back to the light. Why?" he asked as he leaned closer.
"I don't know," she answered defiantly, but the truth be told she didn't.
"I do. You see without your memories you are forced to rely on your instincts. Instincts created by your Vampire and Werewolf genes. You can say it's a safety mechanism to ensure your survival."
"What's that got to do with the light?"

"How will I explain this to you? You have certain senses and abilities from both the Werewolf and the Vampire. From the Vampire you have their ability to outrun the fastest human as well as an enhanced sense of sight. From the Werewolf you have enhanced senses of hearing and smell. Not to mention the ability to put a lot of force behind that nasty right hook of yours. Add these to your Witch genes, from which you can freeze time in case you were wondering, and your Whitelighter genes..."
"Whitelighter?"
"Yes, I guess you can call them Guardian Angels for Witches. You see you are a very powerful being Courtney. You turn from the light because it leaves your 'inner Vampire' incapable of seeing properly. Thus leaving you vulnerable"
"OK but what has all this got to do with you? Why erase my knowledge of these things just to tell me about them?" Now she was really starting to panic. Why tell her all this? What did he want from her?

"I guess there's no harm in telling you," Marcus replied as he slowly started to straighten.
"I plan to purge you of your Witch and Whitelighter genes, leaving only those that originate from your 'evil' counterparts. Once this is done I will do an obedience spell, if you wish to call it that, so you will, as the title implies, obey my every command. Once I have you under my control I will unleash you onto the world of 'above' to wreck havoc on the Earth. You will start by destroying your family and then move on to kill every other Witch in the world. I told you of your powers so you will know how to use them when your morals are unhinged, so there will be no hindrance when you unleash your insatiable fury."
"But how are a bunch of senses going to do any harm? Or freezing time for that matter?" This guy's crazy! I have to find a way to get out of here.
"As I said, once your evil right and wrong will no longer apply to you. This means you won't think twice about killing innocents, which will cause the killer instincts from the Vampire and Werewolf to 'kick in'. You will use any means available to kill, be it your hands or your teeth. Not to mention your Witch powers will become lethal and you will get the ability of producing energy balls."
"Energy balls? What the hell are they?"
"THIS!" He hissed as he held a ball of crackling electricity just centimetres from her face.
"And what makes you think that your plan will work?"
"It's worked so far hasn't it?" He replied with a smirk that bordered on the line of being manic.
"But..."
"ENOUGH! I have had it with your pathetic questions!" He yelled just as two more men 'appeared' out of no-where.

Mean while on Earth…
