Sophie's POV
After discovering that Kayla was the daughter of Sarah Henderson, I immediately made a phone call to Agnes to let her know.
"And are you positive that this is Sarah's daughter? Last I heard about her was that her grandmother had taken her in and I never heard about her again."
"Yes, I'm positive. How do you explain that Kayla gets visions? Sarah was the same way when she was her age. Plus, I am pretty sure that her grandmother never told her about her being a witch so she's very freaked out right now and I think having you with me at her house would explain more about what is going on in the town and plus, you knew her mother."
Agnes lets out a sigh. "That poor child…only if she knew. Okay, after you get off from work, I'll meet you there and we'll take care of Kayla. Maybe teach her how to do spells since it sounds like her powers are coming in now."
I nodded, looking at the customers. There were fewer customers left since it was almost closing time.
"Okay, Agnes. I'll see you there. Bye."
I hung up and continued to do my job.
Kayla's POV
Ever since I came home after work, I couldn't stop thinking about what Sophie had told me. I immediately made myself a cup of tea, then sat down at the kitchen table where I had previously used my laptop earlier.
I pull up the Google search and typed in werewolves and vampires then pressed enter. 11,000 results came up and I was surprised to see that there was so much information out there. So I clicked on one of the results and started to read about the legend of werewolves and the character tics of being a werewolf/vampires. None of them described Klaus exactly so I gave up and turned the laptop off.
But I was still curious about them so I decided to head to the library and looked at the books for a while until I came across an old book. I took it off the shelf and opened it to the first page.
History of Supernatural Creatures
By Christine Henderson
"Christine?" I whispered, frowning at the name.
I moved on to the next page, which was titled "Werewolves".
I sat down immediately and started to read it.
"Werewolves
Also called Lycanthropes, Loup Garou, Beasts, or Wolves for short.
They are a near-extinct supernatural shape shifting species of individuals who unwillingly transform into large, fearsome and extremely hostile wolves on the night of the full moon. These creatures are the most dangerous enemies of vampires, due to their venomous bite, which is lethal to them. They are also hardwired to kill vampires on sight in their wolf form.
What triggers the werewolf gene?
A werewolf has to kill a human in order to trigger their werewolf gene. It does not matter if the kill was accidental or intentional—if a werewolf causes the death of a human, the werewolf gene will still be activated.
History
Their early history is still unknown. We think that they have been around since the Middle Ages, probably existed before the vampires, who were known to be created a little more than 1,000 years ago. We think that the werewolves themselves were made by Nature and that the curse itself was magically placed on the original members of their species by witches.
Appearance:
Werewolves in their wolf form are quite similar to natural wolves, although unlike natural wolves, werewolves have glowing yellow or orange eyes, wicked fangs and a much more feral and predatory appearance. The fur color of wolf forms differs from one to the other.
Werewolf Transformation:
They only transform under a full moon. The first transformation is quite slow, and the person is subjected to at least five or six hours of intense, bone-breaking pain before the actual transformation. After the first transformation, the experience does not last nearly as long, but is still painful.

· Super Strength

Vampires
Vampires are magically reanimated corpses who are inhabited by the spirits of the deceased and who closely resemble a living person. They feed and survive on the blood of the living, typically on human blood, and they can transform the humans into more of their kind.
History
They are all descended from those who are known as the Original vampires, whom, unlike the majority of vampires, were turned not by dying with the vampire blood in their system, but were instead created by a powerful spell fueled by dark magic. Vampires have been around since the 11th century, thanks to the Original family.
Powers and Abilities
Vampires who feed on animal blood will not be as powerful as those who feed on human blood. Human blood is also known to increase the speed of healing when ingested by a vampire after being seriously wounded. Their physical abilities such as strength, speed, agility, durability, healing and senses all grow stronger with age and experience.

It can appear whenever they wish, but it will appear against their will whenever they are aroused by the scent of blood, or are feeling intense emotions such as anger, lust, sadness.

I leaned back against the chair, letting out a long sigh as I closed the book. There were more pages to read, but I decided to stop due to being overwhelmed by all the information that Christine wrote in the book. They are real then…. After all those years thinking that they were just simply legends.
I went back to the kitchen to reheat my tea when there was a knock on the door. I walked to the door and opened it slowly to see who it was.
It was Sophie with Agnes behind her.
"Hey, Kayla. This is Agnes." Sophie says, turning to Agnes. Agnes was wearing a purple robe and a red turban wrapped around her head. She had some kind of bag with her.
Agnes nods at me and I nod back.
"So, are you going to let us in?" Sophie asked, staring at me. I pull the door wide open to let them inside and I closed it behind me.
"It has been 17 years since I have been in this house," Agnes says, turning around to me.
"So you knew my mother then?"
Agnes nodded, putting down her bag. "Let's make the tea first, then we'll discuss whatever you want, Kayla. I cannot believe that you're here now. You know…the last time I saw you, you were five years old and you were a wonderful and the most curious little girl that I had ever met."
I gave her a gentle smile, stuffing my hands in my pockets. "Thanks. Uh… Please make yourselves comfortable while I go and make the tea."
They walked into the living room while I made the tea and once the tea was ready; I took the kettle and set three cups onto the tray. I carried the tray into the living room and set it down on the table near the couch.
"Here you go," I whisper as I pass the two mugs to Sophie and Agnes.
I then took mine and sat down in the armchair.
Agnes sips her tea and set it down. "So…where do you want to start first? Sophie told me that you get visions and that you discovered another side of Klaus. Also, you found out that your mother was a witch."
I nod and cleared my throat. "Yes…that's right. About werewolves and vampires….I don't need to know because I already found a book about them….it was written by my ancestor, Christine Henderson."
Agnes gave me a soft smile. "Ah…that was your great-great-great grandmother, who wrote it. I'm glad to see that your mother kept it for you."
"Am I….. Am I a witch?"
Agnes and Sophie looked at each other quickly, then back at me.
"Child…. You are a witch. I am amazed that your grandmother never taught you how to use your powers or taught you about the vampires and werewolves. Your grandmother was also a witch so I don't understand why she didn't do that with you."
"I don't understand either…maybe she was trying to protect me or trying to deny its existence…. Is that why I get visions? Because I'm a witch?"
Agnes nodded. "Yes, child. How old were you when you first got yours?"
"It started when I was 16 years old. It started first in my dreams, then eventually started to happen when I was conscious. Sometimes I would get a vision by touching a person or an object. I told my grandmother about them and she told me that they were just hallucinations. I remember the last vision I had when I was 17 years old; it was so violent that it scared me and one day…. I got into drugs that my classmate introduced me to and the drugs helped me…. To stop the visions. The visions stopped when I was doing heavy drugs and I got addicted to them and it was pretty bad to the point where my grandmother had to send me to a rehab. By the time that I went to the rehab, I was 18 years old. I got clean and it seems like that the visions just stopped. The day of my granny's memorial service, I had met this gentleman who knew my grandmother and when I touched his hand, my vision came back. After that, it started to come more and more, especially since I have been here."
Agnes puts down her tea and pulls her bag from the floor. She then to start to dig around inside the bag, then pulls out a huge book.
"The visions that you get my child… it can be painful and also helpful sometimes so you can be aware of what is going on. Your mother had the same thing when she was your age. Oh… she hated it, but it did help us. This book was your mother's Grimoire. It makes sense for me to pass this on to you. Your mother would have wanted you to have this."
Agnes passes the book on to me and I held it, tracing the front page then on my mother's handwriting.
"What is this?" I asked, staring at a couple of pages.
"It's a spell book. It contains spells, herbs, supplies that you need, what kind of powers that you might have, and everything in this book that you need to start your powers."
"So I can start now?" I asked, looking up from the book to Agnes.
Agnes stares at me quietly before responding. "You can't do magic in this town. We are forbidden to practice magic, thanks to Marcel's rule."
I look away from Agnes to the picture of my mother. She was smiling at the camera, holding me on her hip. I found it in the attic when I was cleaning it out and it now sits on the fireplace mantel.
"How was she murdered?" I asked, still staring at the picture.
Sophie clears her throat and stood up. "I'll leave you guys alone." She then walks to the front door and steps outside, leaving us alone.
Agnes lets out a soft sigh. "Do you really want to know what happened to her?"
I look down, then back to Agnes, breathing heavily. "Yes. I found her death certificate. It says that her cause of death was caused by animal attacks. But that's not true, isn't it?"
Agnes shook her head, folding her hands together. I had tears already in my eyes as I prepared myself for her to tell me.
"I was the one who found her. You were…. In the corner crying. You didn't understand what happened and you didn't talk at all. She was killed by a vampire. We never were able to determine who it was."
I closed my eyes, breathing heavily and I could feel the rage in my body.
Agnes continued on as I focused on not losing my temper.
"We wanted to keep you, but your grandmother insisted on that she was going to raise you and that… you wouldn't know about her. She tried to protect you… your mother tried to protect you from the killer."
Something snapped inside me and I heard a loud whoosh, opening my eyes suddenly. There was a fire in the fireplace and I looked at her quickly.
"Did you do this?" I asked, confused by the sudden fire.
Agnes smiles at me softly. "No…that was you… it seems like that your powers never went away after all. You see… when you get emotional, say you're angry, your powers get stronger. The more you practice on using your powers, the better control that you have on your powers. I promise you, I will be here to help you to work on your powers and also teach you how to do spell secretly. Magic? That I cannot do, child because of Marcel's rule."
I stood up and walk to the sofa where Agnes was sitting and I sat down next to her.
I put out my hand to her. She grabs it softly and we shook slowly. "That's a deal, Agnes. I'll learn and get the son of the bitch who killed my mother."
Wow...Now Kayla is really angry. What do you think is going to happen next now that she knows more about the vampires and werewolves? I'll update soon sometimes once I am done with my third test in Biology coming up Monday, so this girl has to start studying! :) That is why I made this chapter longer...I hope it's longer for you lol. By the information that I got from Christine's book is from .com so this is their stuff, not mine. :D
Update on 4/13/15: I'm taking my biology test today so wish me good luck! I got butterflies in my stomach!
