A world I never knew

Jolie's POV

I woke up the next day confused by my surroundings. I made my way into the bathroom to take a shower. This was the first time I'd ever had a bathroom all to myself it was a little odd. I quickly took a shower. Today Miss Helen was finally going to tell me what was going on hopefully.

I put on a tank top and a pair of sweat pants. I made my way downstairs not bothering to undo my braid.

I found Aunt Jenna in the kitchen. It was so weird seeing her here. I had a lot of questions for her.

"Were you really dead?" With my question she turned around and faced me. I was just so confused about everything. I couldn't eat, drink, or sleep. I just needed to know what was going on.

"Yes it's a long story. Sit." I looked at her contemplating whether or not to sit but I decided to listen. I took a seat at the kitchen table.

"Okay how is this possible Aunt Jenna." I watched as she took the seat closest to me.

"Well for starters vampires, witches, and werewolves are all real." My face fell at her words. I thought back to those people in the woods and what was happening. I couldn't find the strength to disagree.

I waited for her to continue on.

"I didn't die in a hiking accident. I died because a man named Klaus who is an original vampire one of the first vampires ever, sacrificed me in ritual so he could become a hybrid. Part vampire part werewolf. Elena has known since early junior year about all of this. Alaric is a vampire hunter. Damon, Stefan, and Caroline are vampires. Tyler is a werewolf but I saw he became a hybrid thanks to Klaus. Oh right Bonnie is a witch and Elena is the doppelganger. I was turned into a vampire by Klaus when he sacrificed me. Elijah is apparently Klaus' older brother well half brother. Jeremy and Matt are human but they know." I looked at my aunt Jenna.

I can't believe no one told me. Well actually I could believe this because no one ever tells me anything.

"I guess what happened yesterday makes a little more sense now." I looked back on it. This has been going on for over a year and no one ever told me anything. I didn't really know how to feel. By not knowing I almost got killed. But I wonder if it would have really been that bad if I just stopped existing.

I couldn't help but wonder if it would even matter. I don't think that it would actually matter maybe people would be sad for a little but move on after a day or two.

"Ah I see you've told her about the supernatural. I was going to wait until after breakfast but apparently that's not going to happen." I looked over and there was Helen. I couldn't help but wonder where she came from.

"Okay enough with the mysteries tell us what's going on right now Helen." I could tell aunt Jenna had her serious voice on. That was never good.

"Why did those…um…witches attack me in the woods?" Saying it out loud was so bizarre. "And what did you mean during our first meeting?" Her words from Elena's birthday echoed in my mind.

"You are his forever his. He is your soul mate. You can run and hide but you two are fated to be. He is yours Jolie Gilbert now and forever yours. He will protect you as you will protect him. You are drawn to each other. You cannot fight it no matter how hard you try. He will be a handsome man but also quite bloodthirsty but yours none the less. He will be possessive and jealous but only out of love. He and you are fated to be. You may not want to be but you will be drawn to him at first meeting. Overwhelmed by his mere presence from the beginning you two are love, destined. He is yours for now and evermore." Those words I ignored for the time suddenly came back haunting me and I could not help but wonder if they were true.

"You were attacked and just now mentioned it!" I could tell Aunt Jenna was mad and so I just sunk down in my seat.

"I didn't want to bring it up. Why did they call me an abomination?" I mumbled into my chest.

"It all started with your birth parents. Your mother Gracie was a member of their coven before she defected one year before you were born." I listened to Helen's words carefully.

"Wait coven so Gracie was a witch?" Auntie Jenna sounded surprised by this information.

"Yes and quite powerful as well. Now please let's limit the interruptions. In 1991 Gracie met and fell in love with Michael St. Michael. The two were happily in love with one another. In April 1995 they conceived." I listened rather confused.

"But I don't understand what's so wrong with me that they'd call me an abomination and want me dead." I didn't understand.

"No they wanted to maintain the balance which you conception through off. A child born of spirit and witch had not been seen on this earth in millennium." I looked at Aunt Jenna and she looked just as confused as me.

"Spirit and witch?" Aunt Jenna asked the question I was too afraid to. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to know the answer to this question but now I didn't have a choice.

"Michael St. Michael wasn't just a man but he was thee Michael. The Archangel Michael. When she was conceived Gracie's coven grew fearful of what she could become, her power could be devastating. During the early stages of Gracie's pregnancy her coven could feel what was growing inside her, a Nephilim." Miss Helen took a pause.

"Then?" Aunt Jenna egged Miss Helen to continue.

"They decided to kill Gracie as that was the only way they knew to stop your birth. When they were about to sacrifice her Michael killed the portion of the coven that participated. Eventually Gracie spent her time in this house protected by Michael. She knew if she gave birth to Jolie she would die but all she wanted was bring you into this world. From the beginning she loved you a child born from a beautiful love." I could feel myself wanting to cry.

I always knew my birth mom died giving birth to me but I never imagined she knew she was going to die that she chose her life over mine when I didn't even value my life as anything more than burden and disappointment.

"This brings us to why we are all here today. Jenna he anchored your spirit to this house in order to help her come to terms with her birth right and to guide her through this time. When he feels you have done your job you will be ascended into Heaven." I listened just barely to Miss Helen things were just floating around in my head with me trying grasp my new reality, a world before today I never knew.

"The remainder of the coven realized that the window in which Jolie would be easily killed was closing quickly. In a few weeks it will be time for her to awaken. This is why she must remain here where she is away from people so she will not hurt anyone." Helen finished her words.

"I think I need to…go lie down." I made my way up to my bedroom. The moment I closed the door. All the emotions I'd been holding in suddenly came out. I couldn't fight it as tears fell down my cheeks.

All I ever wanted was to be normal, have a normal life, a caring family, and a sweet boyfriend. Now everything is just upside down.

A/N: Sorry I know it's a short chapter but I haven't been feeling my best lately.
