Chapter 14: The Truth

The girls just looked at the two boys with out looking or paying attention to any thing or anyone else. They didn't even realize the Krystia and another girl came into the room. The words of the other girl finally broke the silence.

"Look Krystia! They're wearing the pendants!" She exclaimed to Krystia.

"Excuse me?" Megana said looking at the group of standing seniors. "Who the hell are you all."

"Megana, please calm down." Jeremiah said then looking at Rachelia. "Look, your scaring Rachelia."

Megana looked to her side. Rachelia was sitting with her arms folded in front of her stomach and was rocking back and forth.

"Oh my god!" shouted Megana "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine I'm just cold!" She answered annoyed.

"Okay, now as we were saying," Jeremiah said offering her a blanket. "the truth…"

"I want to know a bout these pendants we're wearing." Rachelia interrupted.

"And if you say 'all in good time' once again I will wring your neck!" Megana answered seeing Jeremiah open his mouth to say those exact words.

"Fine but I need to tell you a lot more before I can tell you any thing about those." He answered pointing to Megana's necklace.

"Fine" Megana said letting him speak.

"First of all. This is Zackeriah from the smoke line, this is," he pointed to the girl with the uncontrollable mouth. "Karen she is from the same line as Zackeriah, smoke. Lines in our world are a lot like families in yours. Circles are only made from witches from the same line. They wear the same pentagrams as each other. Yours have the symbols of the zodiac, others circles have other symbols. The only thing that is different from yours and the others in your circle is the colored stones around the pentagram. Now Megana, I noticed yours has blue stones, blue represents water. You can, with a little training, control any body of water, big or small." He paused for Megana to take all of the information in. He turned to Rachelia. "I have noticed that your stones are red. Red is the color of fire. Again, when you are properly trained, you can control fire, put it out, or even start it. We have been notified that you had a sudden outburst about a week ago."

She shot a look of complete understanding at Megana.

He continued, "Yes, that was a sudden out burst of powers. Your powers are linked to your emotions. Anyway, that's what the pendants are for. Now, your circle. As you have already guessed you belong to the smoke line. Zackeriah, Krystia, and Karen are all members of the smoke line, so it would only be natural for you to be in their circle. But this circle is a little different than most circles. They, with the help of me, fight vampires. Yes they do exist." He said seeing the sudden look of unrealness in the girls' faces. "We have been fighting this battle for hundreds of years. Yet we have only just skimmed the top of this war. Megana has been born into witchcraft, it's in your blood. But…"

"Wait, no I haven't!" Megana interrupted, "My parents aren't witches!"

"Your mother is. The people you live with aren't related to you. You were adopted when you were an infant. You were born to Joycenia the greatest vampire hunter of her days. She was sloppy one night she was caught by a vampire named Aubrey he usually just killed hunters but he took a liking to her. She pleaded with him to spare her life at least until she had her only child. You." Again he had to pause to let her take all of the information in. "Now Rachelia, you were born to the parents you know but you are the first in your family, an only child if you will. Have you ever had feelings about people? Like you just don't trust or like them? Well, they are either vampires or you just don't like them. But now you will be able to tell the difference. There is a lot more information but that is useless right now. But now I have a question for you two. Will you help us will you help us fight those blood sucking creatures of the night?"

The girls looked at each other. And as if they were one mind, body, and voice they spoke. "Hell Yes!"
