"Excellent!" Caryn exclaimed. "Jeremiah, when can they train?"
"Hold on Caryn" Zackeriah said, "they need to know more than this before they can be trained, right Jeremiah?"
"No, they can learn without our long histories." He answered. "Why don't we go down stairs, and have a little orientation. There others that would like to meet you."
They got off of the bed and started towards the door. Before she could even think Megana went up to Jeremiah looked into his eyes and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you." She whispered in his ear, "For telling me the truth." She hugged him and started to sob.
He said nothing but pulled her towards his chest and soothingly caressed her hair. He motioned for the others to leave and they did so.
"She was a very good friend of mine. Your mother, she would have wanted you to do this, to carry in her work. Do her one favor for her. When you meet Aubrey, and you will, kill him. Don't back down, kill him. Okay?" He took her head in his hands and looked into her eyes.
"I sure as hell will." She answered.
"Good, now shall we join the others?"
She nodded. And they left the room that changed the two girls lives.
When they got down stairs Caryn was telling Rachelia about her uncommon gift.
"Healing can be very helpful. Especially in Single Earth."
"Single Earth?" Rachelia asked. "What's that?"
"It's where all of the blood traitors live. In hiding." Said a cold voice behind the group.
"Hello Dominique." Jeremiah stepped in he knew how she got when reminded of her daughter.
"Jeremiah. So, Caryn when did you start fighting vampires?" she started half acknowledging him.
"I have my reasons. Just like you."
"I'll bet you do."
Jeremiah quickly cut into the conversation between the two women. "Rachelia, Megana, this is Dominique Vida. She is another hunter. She has been hunting for several years. She will be helping me with your training."
"Good, good. They look strong, healthy, youthful. Perfect conditions for being hunters."
"I have a question," Rachelia interjected. "How and how long are you going to train us?"
"Well, it won't take long. We really can't train you to kill any other way but to take you to one of their bashes, but of course we can't do that quite yet."
"No kidding." Megana said entering the conversation.
"If you will follow me into the living room, I can show you some of the rituals that most perform."
They followed him into the living room. Zackeriah looked just a new as the girls. He was just as interested in all of their surroundings as they were. His eyes traveled around the room and landed on the circle of people Jeremiah took them to. This particular group was hovered around a Oiji Board.
"This where we contact the dead. The Spirit Board allows us to contact our relatives who have done the same work as us. Most boards will open too wide the boards we use enable us to contact only the spirits we want to. If you don't do that the user will be open to any thing, even possession. We can't take that chance. Follow me please.
As they walked Megana started a conversation with Zackeriah.
"So, how long have you known?"
"Known what?" He asked, "That I was a witch? I'm as new as you they told me right before you came."
"And what did you think?"
"Personally I thought it was a senior prank."
"You're not a senior?"
"Me? No, I'm a freshman too. I think our powers aren't ready to be trained until we are at high school age."
"So what's your power?"
"Air."
"Cool."
They were soon interrupted by Jeremiah. They were taken down into a basement. There was what seemed like a chamber two or three times the size of the house floor.
This is where we will be training you. He motioned to the room.
They looked around more and saw that one end of the room there were water stains on the wall and at the other wall were what looked like burn marks.
"Where will I be trained?" Asked Zackeriah not seeing any way for him to train.
"We have another house that can with stand your needs." Answered Jeremiah. "I am sorry to let you go but its coming up onto twelve o'clock and you really should be getting home."
He was right, Rachelia looked down at her watch and saw that it was in fact 11:45. It only seemed like an hour or two tops.
"We need to call my mom to pick us up." She said to Megana. "I have one last question. When do we start?"
"As soon as we can, tomorrow night."
(A/N: Sorry for the missunderstanding with Caryn's name spelling. Sorry again. R/R please!)
