Wow, I am a terrible person... sorry this took so long, but this is the LAST chapter in this book! Yeah!

Chapter 6:

The Past Comes Back to Light

"Let's go." I say as I grab Benny's arm and take him back to Ethan's. Behind me is Erica and Rory. Behind them is Sarah and Ethan.

"Em." Benny says once we've stopped. "What's going on?"

"I explain everything I promise." I say

"Then let's go inside." Ethan says. Sarah helps Ethan in the house, and we're stopped short by none other than Evelyn Weir.

"Evelyn?" I ask almost not believing

"Emmeline?" She asks in the same shocked tone

"You know my Grandma?" Benny asks, just as shocked

"Y- your Grandma?!" I ask, then process it. I face palm. "I'm stupid." I mumble under my breath.

"What do you think you're doing?" Evelyn asks, mad

"Evelyn, do you think the interrogations could wait maybe 10 minutes?" I ask. "Because I'm pretty darn sure that you're not the only one with questions."

She nods and gestures for us to come in. After we're all sitting, Benny and Ethan on the couch; Sarah and I on the floor in front of them; and Erica and Rory sitting on the back of the couch. We all sit in a comfortable silence until I stand up. "Okay, you all obviously have a ton of questions, but before I answer any I just want to say, I'm sorry I lied. To all of you." I say, then let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding. "Benny?"

"What's with the getup?" He asks, full of seriousness.

"It's not getup. This is what I actually look like." I say sadly

"How long have you been a vampire?" Sarah asks.

"7th grade. Or at least that's what we all thought." Erica says quietly

"Well, that's a lie too." I say

"How much did you lie about Em?!" Benny yells at me, standing up. "Did you lie to my face when you said you like me?" He asks, tears brimming.

"I didn't lie about that, I swear." I say. "To answer your question Sarah, I've been a vampire for as long as Horace has."

"That explains why you keep calling him that." Ethan comments. "Physically, how old are you?"

"17." I say quietly. "Okay Evelyn."

"Emme... I haven't seen you in a long." Evelyn says quietly

"I know. Any other questions?" I ask

"How'd you change your appearance? Or how did Jesse get frozen in his spot? Or how did the cuffs get unlocked?" Rory asks quickly. "When did you really get your powers?"

"Oh." Is all I could say. "Well, I was born a psychic."

"But only one person has ever been born a psychic." Evelyn says quietly

"Who?" Ethan asks, curious.

"Emmeline Whitechapel." Evelyn says quietly.

"How do you know that?" Benny asks.

"Emeline was a friend of your great great great grandmother." She says the Benny.

"Annabeth. Annabeth Weir." I say her name for the first time since I left Black's Church.

"How did you know that?" Evelyn asks.

"I knew her." I say simply.

"Anyway, Emmeline Whitechapel was born a psychic then when was probably 14 she developed the ability to put people into trances."

"You mean like Jesse?" Erica asks

"Exactly like him, she taught him." I say quietly

"Jesse turned her into a vampire, she developed the ability to change her appearance. Make herself appear..." Evelin trails then looks at me.

"Make herself appear?" Ethan asks, wanting her to continue.

"Younger, older, even change her appearance to make herself look like a completely different person." I say.

"Like you?" Benny asks. "Did you know her? Did she teach you?"

"Exactly like me. The thing is I didn't just know her." I say my voice suddenly losing all of the bravery it had.

"Was she your sister? Mother?" Ethan asks

"She died when she was 17." Evelyn says. "She had no family either."

"Then how do you know so much about her?" Benny asks

"... Because... I'm Emmeline Whitechapel."

"Y- you're Emmeline Whitechapel?" Everyone asks, shocked.

"Yes." I say quietly. "You were almost correct with you timeline." I say to Evelyn.

"How so?" She asks, confused.

"I was born a psychic, but I developed my ability to put people into trances when I was only 10. Then when Horacee turned me, at the age of 17, was when I was able to change my appearance." I say shifting back into the form everyone has come to know. "Then when I Horace forced me to become a full vampire I developed telekinetic abilities. That's how Horace couldn't move and I unlocked the cuffs from across the room." I say explaining everything.

"How'd we get to Jesse's house in the first place?" Sarah asks.

"I put you all in trances." I say quietly. Getting confused looks from everyone I choose to elaborate. "Horace didn't know it was me, he said get them there. So I did what I do best, put people in trances. Even as a human I was incredibly powerful with my trances. I developed the ability past where Horace has his abilities now, even after 300 years of practice. Then when I had nothing to do for 300 years except not have Horace find me and make monthly trips back to Black's Church, or as it was now called Whitechapel. I mastered the powers and mastered my appearance changing as well."

"Okay, I get that. Now, though, there's a major flaw in your story as to why you left after 7th grade." Benny says, now thoroughly pissed. I turn to Evelyn, who nods.

"Fine. Follow me." I say as I walk out of the living room. We get into the kitchen and I sit on the island. Benny stops in front of me. "What you need to understand is I never wanted to hurt you."

"That's what you told us before." Benny replies sourly.

"And it's still true!" I shout at him. "No matter how much I lied! No matter how much the two stories seem so different, they're the same in the end! Iran to saveyou!To save you from the one thing I couldn't get rid of! Myself!" I shout, trying not to cry. "So, go ahead scream at me! Tell me I'm a monster! Tell me you neverwant to see meagain! Because I already know that!I know that I'm a monster! Do you how many times I thought to myself that you're in danger whenever I come with 5 feet of you?! There more times than I could ever try to count! You think you were hurting when I left? Imagine being me! How I felt knowingI had hurt you so badly? Ethan told me what you were like, but I didn't need to hear, because I saw you when no one else did!I never actually left, soI saw everything!Everything! However you felt, multiply it by 1000. That was how I felt! Because Isaw the damage I did to you!I hated myself for it!I wished I could take back! I still do! I would give all of my powers, everything, to take back what I said in those five minutes." I say, my voice dwindling down to nothingness.

"I'm not going to do that, Em." Benny says quietly.

"You should, it'd be the logical thing to do." I say sourly.

"Whoever said I was logical?" Benny asks, I look up at him then force my head away as I shift back to me.

"Benny, this is who really I am. You fell for a person who doesn't exist." I say completely ignoring his attempt to lighten the mood.

"Her looks may not be you, but I didn't fall for those. I fell for your spunk, your unbreakable spirit, your... you." Benny says, sweetly.

"Aw." Two voices say behind me. I spin around and see Sarah and Erica. They looked shocked.

"Don't you two have lives?" I ask irritability.

"Not really." Sarah admits.

"Well at least you're honest." I say defeated.

"So? Are you two getting back together?" Erica asks hopefully.

"Evelyn?" I call into the other room. She comes into the kitchen. "Do you think you could sound proof this room? I'd ask Benny to do it, but I have a feeling that the Morgans will want their kitchen not to explode."

"Hey!" Benny says loudly, offended.

"Sorry, Ben, but you have to admit she has 2 generations of experience on you." I say, then smile slightly.

"Fine." He says, grumpy.

"Of course." She says then walks out of the room and performs a spell.

"Okay. Why soundproof the room?" Sarah asks.

"I figured you wouldn't want Ethan and Rory to hear this." I say, smiling slightly. "I'll make official with Benny, if you tell your corresponding boy that you like them."

"What?!" They asks together, shocked.

"How can you be sure they like us back?" Erica asks. I roll my eyes.

"Love really is blind." I mutter to myself. "Sarah, Benny can vouch for me on this me on this one, Ethan has a major crush on you."

"He does, he'll go on for hours!" He says annoyed.

"Aw. I didn't know that." Sarah mumbles.

"Erica, admit it, you've had a crush on Rory since before you were a vampire." I say sternly. She ducks her head but nods slightly.

"That boy is head over heels for you!" I say to her. "Now! Go do something about it!" They both walk out of the room. "We should probably give them a few minutes." I say as I turn back to Benny.

"I can think of something to fill the time." He says as he grabs my chin, gently bringing his lips to mine. I swear sparks flew. My world was in total bliss. My hands found their way to the back of Benny's neck and his found their way to my waist, deepening the kiss. That is until the door slammed shut.

"Sarah!" Ethan shouts, Benny and I run out of the room only to see Sarah's figure fly up.

"What'd you do?!" I ask Ethan.

"Nothing! She opened her mouth to say something only to ran for the door, slammed it shut and ran out! I don't know happened." Ethan admits.

Fin.

There will be a sequel.

Promise.
