Chapter One
"Jessica has been brought over to our side."
Kassandra choked as she heard those words.
"What?"
"Aubrey brought Jessica over to our side last night." The servant repeated.
Kassandra stood from the home she had been feeding from, unable to drink any more.
"Why would he do such a thing?"
"He was forced I believe. I've heard that Fala attacked her, the only way for her to continue living-er-staying in this world was for her to turn vampire. With all do respect, Lady Kassandra, why is this Jessica so important? You were barely in her novel."
'Why is it so important? Why?! The fool, he doesn't know. Though very few know. I doubt Aubrey knows. Jessica is my twin sister. Jazlyn didn't have just one child that night. While one child belonged to the world of the humans, and was tainted with vampire blood, the other belonged to the world of the vampires and was tainted with human blood. Yet, both Jessica and I have dreamed of our mother. But yet, she has never heard of me. Very few know that I am the sister of the infamous 'Ash Night.'
Ignoring the servant's question, Kassandra started to speak of her plan.
"Is she strong yet?"
"I have heard that even Fala will not challenge her now."
"Good. We will go visit Audrey and Jessica then." Kassandra said coldly.
'My sister will not be stronger then me in my world…'
Jessica and Aubrey had stayed quiet in Aubrey's home for a few days. Only to feed had they ventured outside. Jessica had grown stronger every feeding, not only nurtured by human blood, but by Aubrey's love. Her sleep during the day had been silent too, but Aubrey had warned her that vampires had already dreamt. Jessica had persisted that what she had weren't dreams, but memory relapses. Aubrey had decided not to argue further. They hadn't heard from Caryn since, but rumors had been passed to that them, that she had been exiled, and was currently living at SingleEarth.
"Tonight we will go show your powers to the rest of our world." Aubrey smirked that dawn, while they were getting ready to go to sleep.
"Good. I'm getting tired of doing nothing around here. I need some action." Jessica replied.
Aubrey raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything in return.
Jazlyn did not know of the second child that had left her womb. No one dared to tell her that Siete has masked her pain, put her to sleep, and had immediately taken the second girl and named her Kassandra. He carried the silent child, jet black eyes, emerald eyes, and perfectly fair skin exactly like her sister, Jessica. He had only glanced at the crying child that lay next to her sleeping mother.
"Be silent Jessica." Siete whispered.
Jessica was silent.
"Your sister will live among my world. Your mother will never know of her. And neither will you. You will stay in her sniveling world of mortals. But no one will ever accept you. You are tainted with my blood. Every mortal will despise you, witches will be wary of you, and my kind will detest you too."
Jessica had started to whimper again.
"But Kassandra will be different. She will be a powerful vampire. Feared by all, and destroyer of weak mortals like yourself. Maybe even one day she will be your killer."
Jazlyn had begun to awaken to her baby's cries, and Siete left quietly, still holding the child that had never made one noise throughout her birth and her sister's taintings.
Jessica woke, shocked at this newest dream.
'Can it be true? Do I have a twin sister named Kassandra?'
She turned to wake Aubrey, but he still slept silently, and she had no desire to wake him while he looked so beautiful.
'There is time to ask him. All eternity of time.' Jessica decided and fall back into a dreamless slumber.
Kassandra too woke surprised at this dream.
'Did Jessica have the same dream? Does she know of me know? If she does, she should know that I should be feared. I will destroy her if she stays in this world. My world. Siete gave it to me. I must see to her as soon as possible.'
Kassandra peered outside from her home. She lived in a deep place of Europe, but she could transform into a beautiful jet black bat, so it would only take her a day to get to her sister's present place.
"Besides, it's been too long since I've seen some of my good old friends in the states." Kassandra smirked. "But I will wait until night. I do not cherish the thought of flying the entire day."
Kassandra turned from the window, and decided to go finish her meal from last night.
**********
When the moon finally rose high into the velvety black sky, Jessica and Aubrey awoke. Jessica was a little uncertain at first if she had just imagined having the last dream, or if she had really had it, but decided to question Aubrey about 'Kassandra' anyway.
He was rather excited about going out that night, but froze upon hearing Jessica's question.
"Kassandra? Yes there is a vampire of that name. Why Jessica?" Aubrey asked, sounding concerned now.
"I had a dream about her last night." Jessica said quietly.
Aubrey's eyes widened with shock.
"What about? I wouldn't mess with Kassandra just yet, Jessica. If you had a dream about her, leave it our of your book." Aubrey said seriously.
"You sound scared Aubrey." Jessica said, trying to lighten the mood.
"I'm serious Jessica. You may be strong, and I am too. But Kassandra would be no piece of cake for either of us. She was raised a vampire. Stay out of her way for now."
"She was raised a vampire?" Jessica choked on her words. "Where did she come from?
Aubrey shrugged.
"Old Siete just showed up with this baby one day, and was calling her Kassandra. No one knew who her mother was. But everyone learned to stay out of Kassandra's way. She learns quickly, and kills even faster."
Jessica nodded, knowing that her dream had to be real.
"What did you dream about her anyway?" Aubrey asked, not wanting to probe her mind.
Jessica hesitated for a moment, not sure if she should tell Aubrey the entire truth.
"I dreamed that she was my sister."
