"Okay… just calm down." Said Olivia, hoping to calm me down.
"Calm down? Freaking calm down? Olivia, I don't think you've noticed but I look completely different. Well, saying that I still have the same body shape," I then looked down my top. "Oh, come on! Couldn't you of given me a body with bigger tits? That would've been great!" I was right though, I've always had small boobs, it aint fair! I want a bigger rack!
Olivia couldn't help but fidget. I looked at her, waiting for an explanation.
... waiting...
"I'll explain on the ride home."
We then got in my car and began our journey back to home. I kinda kept nagging her to tell me, I really wanted to know!
"Okay, your mum was a very strong witch, everyone knew that. But what everyone didn't know is that she wrote a journal for me and some kind of witchy looking book for you," I took my eyes of the road for a second and looked at her doubtfully. When the hell did mum have time for that? she barely had time to go to my shows, forget about writing a freaking book.
"Wait, I'm not done. She had visions of certain events of your life that she wanted to change so she wrote about the visions in a journal; it had everything the time, date, even place of the visions. She even made sure that the only people that could open it was the person it belonged to, she had like some identification spell on them."
My hands tightened round the steering wheel. Mum knew something was going to happen and she kept it all secret. But I knew she did it to proctect me
"She said in the journal that I was not to tell anyone that you were in danger, I had to look after you on my own. People are after you Rory, I don't know who and by the looks of things neither did your mum. She said that today I had to save you, doing that spell will make it harder for people to find you, that-"
Before Olivia could carry on I interrupted.
"So mum made me a new body?" Well, it turns out I am a even bigger freak show, yaay!
"That's the thing Rory; you're not in a new body. You're in your original body, the one you were born in. when you were a baby; you were like given an extra layer of skin, and that extra layer made you more human. It changed your appearance completely but the body your in now is your own. No spell, but yours and the body you are in now holds your powers. And it gets freakier, get this, every human that you know or have ever met thinks that you've looked liked this ever since they met you but with supernatural beings it's completely opposite."
"She said all this in your journal?" I asked "Wait, where's my book thing?" what can I say? I wanted my book!
Olivia sighed and stared out of her window. Uh oh.. This ain't going to be good.
"Yeah, it did and I'll give it to you when we stop at yours, you'll have to read it in private."
The rest of the car journey home was silent and right when I was outside the house, I remembered something, how the fuck is Sookie going to react to this?
I told Olivia to wait in the car. She gave me the book which was really thick and old looking might I add. It looked like that witch book out of that TV show... what was it? Um... Charmed! That's it! except this one on the outside is all black and leathery.
When I got into my room I laid the book on the bed and sat down. I took in a deep breath not knowing what I would find in this book. I opened the book and the first thing I saw was an envelope with my name on it, without hesitation I opened it.
My darling daughter Aurora,
I know if you're reading this that means I am gone. I am sorry for leaving you darling but it is my time. Aurora, you have great power, you need to be careful because they are after you, I can't tell you anything else. Hopefully you are in your true form by now, there is an amulet in the middle of this book which will help you with the balance between good & evil and will also help you with your powers. But even I don't know how much of your powers you have released; only you hold the answer to that.
Remember, you are the thing that's most precious to me and I will always be protecting you.
Love,
Your mother.
I felt a tear role down my cheek. I turned to the middle of the book and found the amulet. After I put the amulet on I heard shouting from downstairs. Someone's pissed Sookie off. I ran down stairs wanting to back my sister up, she was probably having ago at Bill... his a deadman. Wait, no, not dead man, his already dead... You get what I mean! But before it was too late I realised the little problem about my appearance.
Sookie looked at me in complete shock. Oh no, I'm dead forget about killing Bill, she's going to kill me!
"Who the fuck are you?" She shouted.
"Fuck, shit, bollocks." I cursed worrying about how I'm going to explain this one, I mean it's not everyday you get a new body!
"Okay, Sook, before you go all Bruce Lee on me, this isn't my fault." Crap! shouldn't of said that, she might get the shot gun and then I have to go all Bruce Lee on her!
Sam who I didn't notice was there started sniffing the air.
"Rory?" He asked in surprise.
"Wait," Said a voice, I looked to my left to see Olivia. Didnt that girl ever listen?
"Livvie, I told you to wait in the car!" she just waved awkwardly at everyone. This is going to take forever to explain... Then I have to introduce her and Liv, this is just too much.
Before Sookie kicked Sam out, we went through what happened and what we knew about this whole wacky body changing mojo thing. I think it took her a few minutes to get over how different I looked. I know how she felt, every time I saw my reflection I nearly shat myself. When I introduced Livvie and Sook to each other the got on really well, but I still felt rude asking if She could stay in Jason's old room but of course Sookie being Sookie didn't mind at all.
Sookie then didn't forget to tell me why she kicked Sam out. Of course I found it quite entertaining.
"Good choice, I mean if your going to have a little love triangle why not throw a shifter in there who isn't doing too bad down stairs." I said with a wink. But Sookie looked appalled by what I was saying. But I was telling the truth, I was quite impressed.
Before she could explain herself I continued. "Remember Sook, you only have one vag, so don't be too greedy."
"Aurora!" I couldn't help but laugh at Sookie's response. After talking about Sookie's love life, I showed our new roommate to her room and went back to my bed. I couldn't wait to go to sleep but before that, I couldn't help but look through the book. It had all sorts about creatures I never knew existed. You name it Elves, Sirens, mermaids. To be honest I thought mermaids and sirens were the same but it turns out, they're not. This book was really like that Charmed book... Cool.
I must have been so tired because I fell asleep whilst reading through it.
The next morningish
I was woken up by a small explosion; I got up and ran to Jason's old room to see Livvie making… potions? Oh god, we're all going to die.
"What the hell Liv? You can do a body swapping spell but can't make potions?" I asked amused by the image I was seeing. She was wearing a pair of those science goggles and she had some huge blue gloves on, she looked like she just escaped the looney place.
"You know I've always been really good at spells but when it comes to potions I'm crap."
I walked into her room and saw she had all her stuff in the room. Ooo, chocolate bar. Mine! I began munching on it, this whole body changing thing was tireing.
It looked like a normal room. She had a few pictures around of me and her, a few dream catchers and a lot of posters of bands she liked. She even added a few of her own lamps. It was actually quite boring, I kinda wish it looked more witchy but of course having a mother as a witch that those are stereotypes, witches houses were actually normal. Except for their basements or in Liv's case bedroom.
"How did you-"
"A magician never reveals her secrets." She winked at me.
"First of all you're a witch, not a magician. Second of all they're scam artist."
She walked over to me with such a big smile.
"You want to talk to me about scam artists? Rory, your first real job was stealing from people. I remember when you use to pick everyone's pockets so don't start with that."
She warned in a playful manner.
"Right, your a dick. People said I displayed kleptomanic tendencies so don't bully me!"
"Your blaiming your stealing antics on a obsessive-cumpolsive disorder? and can you close your mouth while your eating!"
Well, that was rude. I opened my mouth and stuck my tongue out to show her all the gross contents in my mouth, she backed out of this battle. I win!
After our little name calling game I went to get dressed and afterwards decided to go for a walk with Liv, we needed a catch-up. Big time!
In the middle of our little catch-up I got an e-mail, details about Drew Marshall. When I saw his picture my heart stopped. It was Renee. I then suddenly had a feeling of fear. Crap, Bollocks! Renee is the killer! Oh my god! Jason's best friend!
"Sookie's in trouble, I can feel it." I said out loud. Liv looked at me with worry.
"Rory track her. You guys most have a magical bond if you can feel that she's in trouble. Me and Lauren have it. You need to track her."
I closed my eyes and concentrated. These bonds were actually quite common with supernatural siblings; it just never crossed my mind that me and Sook could have it. But who am I to even complain about it? It's easier for me to keep her safe this way.
"It isn't working!" I said panicking. Liv held my hands.
"Okay, concentrate on the way she looks, her smell. Keep concentrating and you will feel her energy. When you feel her energy you are pulled by it and you will know where she is."
I took deep breathes and thought of my big sister. A few seconds later I could feel it, my eyes shot open and I bolted to that direction, shortly followed my Liv.
I then saw them, I saw Renee kicking the heck out of Sam's unconscious body and Sookie who was also unconscious by a tomb stone.
I snuck up behind Renee, grabbed a shovel and hit him over the head over it. He fell to the ground and began to cough up blood. The shovel was then yanked out of my hands, I turned around to see Sookie, and she then decapitated him. Sook looked... Well? I couldn't blame her though. A killer was trying to murder her.
Well, that's a lovely image.
Sookie then ran off to another direction, I looked in that direction to see a crisped Bill Compton. Sookie sobbed over his body. I then suddenly saw Sam comforting my sister,
"We need to get him out of the sun." I announced, Sam picked Bill up and we began to bury him in the shade while my sister cried.
