Chapter 17:

Samantha's POV

I clenched my fists, "Let her go."

She smirked, "Why would I?" She looked at her, "She's weak, and she was an easier target than you,"

"What is it that you want?" I asked curiously, "What did we ever do to you?"

She spat out, "You were always better than me, always perfect in magic; everyone praised you and cared for you." She dripped with venom, "I hated how I was the shadow. You were always popular."

I gripped my fists and glanced at Soph in the eyes, I stated coolly, "Well I was my own person," I stated coldly, "Something you will never be,"

She growled and her hand was coursed with fire, I widened my eyes, "You're not supposed to have that power,"

Alyssa laughed, "Yeah well think again, I'm always one step again of you."

I smirked, "No, I am."

Alyssa frowned and I smirked as Sophie broke the ropes and spun and kicked her, Sophie held her up with her telekinesis and said, "Never, will you hurt my family Alyssa!" She growled, she coughed, "But how?"

I laughed, "Nice one Sam,"

"Sam?" Alyssa looked confused, "But?" She widened her eyes,

I smirked and stepped forward, "I have to say Sam, this was one of your best spells yet."

Sophie laughed, "You got that right."

"What are you guys talking about?" Alyssa growled,

Sophie smirked, "Well let's clear things up for the dumber, before I, Sam came in, I quickly muttered a spell and when I activate it, it allows the people to switch bodies, I knew Sophie wouldn't be able to break the ropes but I could, so I switched."

Alyssa gritted her teeth, Sophie glanced at me and I nodded, she reversed the spell and I was in my body, I growled at her and put a sword against her throat, "You were the spy weren't you?" She smirked.

"Duh!"

I laughed and snapped my fingers, two knights appeared, "Take her to the chambers, make sure she can't use her powers." I stated. They nodded and took some handcuffs; they put it on her hands and disabled her magic. I sighed and leaned back.

"Had a rough night?" Someone asked.

I turned around and saw someone, "Mark!" I squealed and kissed him.

"Where are we going?" Mark asked,

I chuckled and pulled his arm, "Not telling."

Mark had a blindfold on and I was leading him, I had a surprise for him and we walked for a while, when we arrived, I told him to take of his blindfold.

"Where are we?"

I smiled, "One sec," I knocked on the door,

"Hello?" A woman came to the door, "Sam!" The women bowed.

I smiled, "Hi Julia."

She smiled, "It's great to see you, what's up?"

I gestured to Mark, "You remember him don't you?"

She thought about it and nodded, "Yeah, though I didn't get your name though."

"Mark,"

She widened her eyes, "Oh, Mark…" Her eyes saddened.

I smiled and said, "Mark has been looking for his mother for a while, anything you would like to tell us?"

She fiddled her thumbs, "I don't know…"

I continued, "Her mother was on earth and then she died, Mark gave me this saying it was his moms." I lifted the chain up. She picked it up and gasped.

"This was my oldest son's chain, Mark." Tears weld up in her eyes, "Someone told me he was dead."

Mark listened to this story and whispered, "Mom?"

Julia looked up, "Mark Thomas?"

He nodded nervously and Julia hugged him sweetly, "My son…" She cried, "I thought you were dead…"

He shook his head, "I'm not dead mom."

She smiled and said, "You've grown soo big." She smiled, "And look at you, a knight!" She exclaimed,

I laughed, "Not to mention a boyfriend to me."

She widened her eyes and looked at him, "You better not hurt her." She said threating him, "Or you have my wrath."

He chuckled nervously, "Don't worry mom,"

"I know, you've grown up to be a fine man." She smiled happily, "I wish you a happy birthday."

"Birthday?" Mark widened his eyes,

She chuckled, "Your birthday's today sweetie,"

I laughed, "I knew that you didn't know your birthday, so I tracked your mom down, I tried scrying and bang! It worked." I paused, "By the way, I have to ask you."

Julia frowned, "Yes?" She asked politely,

I took a breath, "If you're here then that means you're a witch and if you're a witch…" I trailed off looking at Mark to see if he got the memo,

He widened his eyes, "Then I'm a full warlock…"

She smiled, "Sort of…"

I frowned, "What do you mean sort of?" I asked curiously,

She sighed and sat down, "I was on Earth to drag a vampire out of a quest, your mom sent me on this quest and told me of the consequences and was happy to send someone else but I refused." She paused, "When I was pregnant with Mark," She glanced at him, "The vampire that I was hunting for found me, he knew of my pregnancy and knew that I would protect you."

Mark listened intently, "And?"

"And your father died protecting me, he managed to buy me sometime to give birth to you but not enough to save you." Her eyes began tearing up. "I faced him and put you in your baby cot that we had prepared for," She looked down, "I stopped him but it took all of my magic, he was one of the oldest vampires, I recovered but my magic didn't,"

"I see…" I trailed off,

"But when I was about to come and get you, his followers attacked," I gasped, "I saw you crying and activated a shield around us, but that drained you since you were just born…"
