{Chapter 7}
The next day, I packed up my stuff from the dorm, took it to my car, drive it to the apartment, and then went to get my stuff from the house, and then drove home. Finally, a place that is really home, with my real family.

The next day, Tuesday, I walked into the school and smelled something off. I ignored it and walked to class. As I passed a storage closet, the door opened, a hand reached out and grabbed me, pulling me in and closing the door.
I heard a snap and a glow stick filled the room with some light. I looked at who had pulled me into the room, and it was someone I had never seen before in my life, but he still seemed strangely familiar. "Who the hell are you?" I asked immediately. He told me to stay quiet by putting a finger to his lips, then held out his wrist.
I cautiously looked at him, but nonetheless, bit into his wrist. I saw flashes of an old cathedral, of two naked women, my mom and dad, then a man I knew from my parents memories as Marcus, and another I knew to be Lucian. I pulled my mouth away and whispered, "Tanis?" He nodded his head.
He cracked the door and looked around before pulling me out. "Take me to Selene and Michael, quickly." He said. I nodded my head and we both ran out to my car, I sped out, driving back to the apartment. I called my mom and told her to get back to the apartment.
I saw the car my dad had let me borrow speed up behind us, and pushed the meter a little bit further on the car. When we pulled in and Tanis got out of the car, my mom stared at him. "What are you doing here?" She asked him. "I could ask you the same question Selene, but we don't have time. I just barely got out of Hungary with my life, that is after Marcus came to me nearly 20 years ago."
We ran up to the apartment and once my dad and Eve were filled in, we sat down and Tanis began to tell us his news. "Once I regained consciousness after Marcus attacked me, I heard about the Purge and went into hiding. Then I heard of your escapes," He looked at my mom, dad, and Eve. "I hoped that everything wasn't lost. Just a few weeks ago, however, I heard of a conspiracy rising, one rumored to be led by Viktor, himself."
"Viktor's dead. I killed him myself." My mom argued angrily with him. "I know, but got a discreet message from him nearly a week after I heard of the conspiracy. It is indeed Viktor, and he has alerted all the coven's that will join his side, that you betrayed the coven, attempted to kill him, succeeded in killing Marcus, and bore a child with a lycan-hybrid. Now I see that it is actually two children." He said, looking at me.
That's when it hit me. "That's why that coven kidnapped me! They thought I was Eve. They thought I knew you when they kidnapped me." I said, looking at my parents. "Is that where you came from the day you showed up here?" My mom asked. I nodded my head. "But I killed the coven leader, at least I think I did. I practically tore his throat out when he pissed me off saying shit about you and dad." I explained.
"Just because they don't have a leader, doesn't mean they can't appoint another and come after you and Eve. Tanis, thank you." My mom said, standing up. "If you hope to be safe, you must take out that coven immediately. Before they find all of you here and alert Viktor, if they already haven't." Tanis said.
"I agree with him." I said. "No, if we're going to get rid of them, Eve and Nasya stay here." My dad said, standing up. "No way!" Both Eve and I said loudly. "We can fight just as well as you and mom. I can handle a gun.." "and I could kill a lycan right after mom found me, even bdfore she trained me. We're not staying here like scared children." Eve finished.
Michael looked at Selene, who nodded. " , come to the bedroom with me." My mom said. I stood up and followed her. She closed the door behind us and then went and pulled something out of her and Dad's closet. She walked over and handed it to me. It was another leather suit, exactly like hers. "Mom, are you sure. I mean.." "I want you to have it. I know that you prefer to fight like me instead of your father and Eve. Have it." She said, smiling at me. "Thanks mom." I said, hugging her. While she went to get her suit to change into, I went to mine and Eve's room and changed into the one she gave me.
Before I walked out, I looked myself over in the mirror. The guys were right, I did looked just like my mom. I smiled, then walked out of the room. My mom was already in the living room, it sounded like her and Dad were strategizing for the attack.
They both looked up at me, along with Eve and Tanis, when they heard me. "At least it fits." My mom said first, walking up to me. "Very lovely dear. If you were a vampire, Viktor would have taken you into the coven immediately. You look just like your mother." Tanis said.
"Ready?" My dad asked me, Mom, and Eve. I glanced outside the window and saw we had already wasted the day away. We all nodded. Mom grabbed guns for her and myself, along with extra magazines and a couple throwing stars, and we all left. Apparently Mom and Dad trusted Tanis alone.
We ran to the house the coven stayed at, and when we got there, we walked right up to the front door, and ran in. As soon as we ran in, men and women wearing all leather that carried guns of all types, ran at us and shot round after round.
I paid close attention to how many rounds I shot at each one I killed. I managed to keep it to two each. "Stop!" We heard a man yell. I stood still and stopped shooting, looking for where the voice came from. The men and women that had been shooting at us that were still alive parted and a man that was probably between 50 and 60 years old walked forward.
I felt a hand on my arm, pulling me back. I looked and saw my dad pulling my closer to him. I couldn't find Mom of Eve, but prayed they were safe. "Aah, Selene and, Michael was it? It has been a long time. I was told of how you defeated Marcus and William those many years ago. I was impressed, but then I was told of how Alexander Corvinus aided you in that defeat. I must say, very clever. Very clever indeed! But I am sad to tell you, that the cleverness has only prolonged your death sentences." He said, seeming so cocky about himself.
"So Tanis wasn't lying." I heard from the top of the stairs. I looked and saw Mom and Eve coming down to stand next to Dad and I. "What is this? Ah, I see. I see instead of one abomination, you gave birth to two." He said, sneering at my mom, who he now figured out he confused with me.
"I also see that one has been gifted with the same appearance as yourself." He said, looking back to me. I felt a hand grab my arm and pull me away. As I turned I saw my mom had her hand around my arm, and she was pulling me away, while my dad and Eve ran ahead of us.
We didn't look back the whole way back to the apartment. Mom locked and bolted the door. I turned and saw the guys all sitting in the living room, waiting with Tanis who had helped himself to some blood in the fridge.
"What's wrong?" Reid asked, standing up. "You were right, he is alive." I said, looking at Tanis. "Did you think I was lying? Just like your mother and Viktor, hard for you to trust me." He said, shaking his head, sipping out of the glass.
"I swear, this time I'll make sure he's dead." Mom said, walking to her and Dad's room. Dad followed her and I heard the door close. "I'm going to go lay down, I have a feeling we'll be up for a while tonight." Eve said, walking to our room and closing the door quietly.
I rubbed my face with my hands then said, "Tanis, you can have the couch for now until this shit is sorted out." "You want to come to my house, it looks like you could use a drink." Reid suggested. "That sounds perfect because I do." I said. He and the other guys stood up and we all walked out of the apartment.
