{Chapter 3}
I swallowed the lump again, and spoke, "I, I've had these dreams ever since I was little. My parents just told me it was nightmares, by the time was old enough, I just didn't tell them I still had them. When I was 12, they told me I was adopted. It was like that day set something off in my head. I started having the dreams every night." I answered.
"What were the dreams about?" Selene asked again. "All of you. At first it was just you two," I said, gesturing to Selene and Michael, "But then around the time I was 11, Eve started appearing in them. " I answered again. Selene closed her eyes, turned, and left the room. I heard a door close, then Michael followed after her. Eve looked at me, sighed, and sat down next to me. "So, you go to the Academy?" She asked, trying to be nice. "Ya, I've lived here my whole life." I said. "I'll be finishing school this year, I home school since we move around a lot." I noticed she avoided saying, 'My parents' or 'Our parents.' She was being nice and tried to forget about that subject for a minute.
"The dreams. Don't worry about them, I've had them since I can remember. If they're right, and you're my sister, then I can tell you how to handle everything." She said, smiling kindly. "Everything? Like the thing? I turned into something and killed one of the vampires at the house. Is that what you mean?" I asked her. She nodded her head in response. "That would be great!" I said, laughing. She chuckled right before I heard a door open and Michael and Selene walked back in the room, Selene's eyes slightly red. I was guessing from crying.
"Nasya, we know that you probably already know everything. But Michael and I only knew each other for a couple months before we were captured by Antigen and held there for 12 years. When I escaped and found Eve, and went back to find Michael, I found out that we had another daughter. Eve's twin sister. Ever since, we've been looking for her, or you. What happened was one of the other doctors, the one who raised Eve, took you away from the facility and brought you to your adopted parents." Selene said.
I looked at my hands and closed my hands, breathing. I looked up and smiled. "Ever since I found out I was adopted, I wanted to know who my real parents were. After a while, I realized it wouldn't happen. But it has, I never thought it would." I felt tears falling down my cheeks. "Nasya, if you would like. You could stay here for a while, and like we did with Eve, we could train you to fight." Michael said, rubbing Selene's shoulder as she calmed down.
"Ya, that sounds great. I could also get to know all of you and you the other way around." I said, looking at each of them. I noticed that I had Selene...my mother's hair and skin tone and my father's eyes, I had pretty much had the same features as Eve did.
We all heard my phone go off. I was surprised I still had it. I reached into my blazer pocket as I wiped my face off.
"Hello?" I asked. "Nass! Where the hell are you? I fall asleep after you did and wake up and nobody's seen you anywhere! Me and the guys have been freaking out." Reid yelled into the phone. "Reid! Reid! Calm down. I'm going to be out of school for a few days. Get my work for me? Thanks, bye!" I said, not letting him respond, knowing he would argue, and hanging up.
I looked at Michael and Selene, my parents, and said, "When do we start?" Michael chuckled and shook his head. I heard a small laugh from Selene.
Later that night, since Selene, Michael, and Eve had changed their sleeping schedule's to during the night, around 11 they all went to bed. I stayed out in the living room, partially because I wasn't tired and partially because that was where I was going to sleep. I told them I didn't mind, better than the floor. I had pulled my blazer, tie, and sweater vest off and untucked my button up, and taken off my shoes and socks. I walked over to the bookshelf and grabbed the copy of Beowulf I had seen Eve reading in my visions, as I now called them, from just this morning.
When I was half way through, I heard bare feet padding against the hard wood floor, coming this way. "Still awake?" I heard behind me. I turned and saw Michael. "Ya, I'm a late-nighter and I was wide awake and couldn't sleep." I said, moving over so he could sit next to me. He walked over to the couch and sat down next to me. "So, I know we just met a few hours ago, but I want to know my other daughter." He said, looking at me kindly.
I smiled, closed the book and put it on the table, and sat back on the couch.
"Well, my adoptive parents found me when I was only a few weeks old. I found out on my own that I was adopted when I was 12, my parents still think that I think I'm their real daughter. The only ones who know I'm actually adopted are my four friends Caleb, Reid, Tyler, and Pogue; we've known each other since we were in diapers. Ever since I was probably 10 or 11, I've watched movies with really bad gore and all that crap, but it never bothers me." I said, Michael chuckled at me. "I'm not sure if that's me or your mom's doing. She's been hunting lycans for centuries and I was a medical intern when I was still human." He said. I smiled and nodded.
"That would be hard to figure out. Anyways, I'm really into my art and drawing. Sometimes I can hardly get my nose out of a book, as you could tell..." We both chuckled.
"What about you? I saw a few things that happened, but I want to whole story." I said, pulling my feet under me.
"Instead of telling you, how about I show you?" He asked, gesturing with his wrist. I clenched my teeth, not sure of what would happen, but nodded. I took his wrist and bit into it.
As the blood slid down my throat, which felt so natural, I saw everything that happened in a flash. How they met, how my mom saved him from Viktor, how she saved him again from Marcus, how he helped her when the sun rose and she got burned, their talk with Tanis, with Alexander Corvinus, how my dad died, but I saw something that must have been my mom's memory from trying to save him, my dad killing William, being captured, his escape and finding my mom and Eve.
