2. The truth

You are not human. You are not human…

The words kept echoing in my head while Angie talked. "I'm sorry for dropping this on you like this it's just that we don't have enough time left. We came a week after your eighteenth birthday because we had some things to settle but this is as far as this will go. In a few days from now your real powers are going to wake up and if you are not prepared it will kill you. If we wake your powers up now when we're all here we can help you, train you, and protect you. Please Kath you need us. If-". "Angie enough, give her some time to rap it all around her mined" Lorna interrupted Angie.

"Kath?" it was Lorna this time. I looked up at her she had this irresistibly comforting look on her face. She came to sit next to me and started to tell their story in a calm relaxing voice. " I'll start with the general story. A long time before we were borne three vary powerful creatures a vampire, a werewolf, and a shape-shifter created some kind of counsel for the supernatural world. It was called 'the order'. Their name is long forgotten so they are simply called the old ones. At their time it was a complete chaos, creatures were running free at the streets killing everyone at sight. The order was created to control that chaos and for a certain time it worked. But soon they all became crazed with power, and hungry for more. They started to fight each other. A grope of humans warlocks and witches. Combined with a vampire a werewolf and a shape-shifter that dared to fight them, decided to stop it. They locked each of the old ones at a different part of the world. And the three supernatural creatures who helped became the new leaders of the order. Their names are Andrew, Jarred and Etrix." She stopped for a second and looked at me, giving me a chance to take it all in.

"How all of this is related to me?" I asked though I was scared from the answer.

She looked at me for a second and kept talking. "The levels at the order aside from the leaders are divided to three parts. There are the defenders which are the werewolves. They are only slightly stronger than humans at their normal form and they can't change unless they are in direct contact with the full moon's light. So they mostly stay at the temple and they are sent to missions at full moon only in very rare occasions. The next are the attackers- the shape-shifters. They are the ones who are usually sent out by the order because the usefulness of their ability to change at a moment notice. The last ones are the night walkers and I'm sure you can guess alone how is at this category." She paused. And I got a little confused. "Wait I thought that the sunlight don't kill vampires." I asked. "True" Lorna answered "but it does weakens them so they prefer to fight at night when their power is the strongest." I noticed the fact that she kept saying them and not us. "Anyway. To be able to control all of those creatures and prevent a riot, the leaders carefully chose thee of their strongest warriors and took a sample of their powers, and then they chose seven yet to be borne kids and inflicted their DNA to create seven hybrids. A combination between the three strongest supernatural creatures: vampire, werewolf and shape-shifter. Those seven are called the warriors each one is able to control a different natural element plus some more extra abilities they have. There is the ice warrior; this part is currently filled by Angie." I looked up at my sister not believing a word I'm hearing. She smiled a little smile lifted her hand and closed her eyes. Two seconds later a ball of ice appeared in her hand. I gasped. "There is also the earth warrior" Lorna kept going "this is Jim's part of expertise. After him there is the water warrior, this is me. The wind warrior which is Alice. The lightning warrior- Tommy. And a little more complicated one the growth warrior who basically controls everything that grows. This is Jamey."

I took a second to look at all of them with new kind of awe. And then something jumped to my head. "Wait you said the order created seven warriors. You only told me abbot six." They exchanged looks for a second than Lorna sighed and continued. "The seventh and last one is the fire warrior. This one is the leader of all the other six to prevent a riot from their side. This part is not filled yet but when you will wake your powers up it will be filled by you." They all looked at me trying to anticipate my reaction. I stared back for a few moments. Then I just started to laugh. "Ye right " I managed to say between laughs "you expect me to believe this story? I have to give you some credit you were very creative but no way this is true. I'm only human and we know it very well." They just stared sadly at me and my laughs slowly died out. And then my mind finely caught what they said." Really?" I asked staring at them. That was when Alice seemed to wake up from her daydream. She came to crunch in front of me took my hand and nodded slowly once. Somehow I knew that if someone else would have done the exact same thing I would have never believed it. But this was Alice, she never got out of her privet little world for something unless it was really important. My reaction surprised even me. Somehow my mind already accepted the logic and truth of what they said to me, all I needed was a reassurance.

"So what do I need to do now?" I asked getting slowly up. They all looked at Lorna who nodded and took a few steps back. They all stood in a circle around me. Aside from Angie how stood right next to me. She put a hand on my shoulder. "Are you ready?" I looked her in the eyes and nodded once. She walked to stand behind me. "Ho, and don't worry about your friends, they already know everything the bag we gave them was full with books and information about the order and some more stuff". And then as if on a mark they all closed their eyes and started mumbling something. I felt a cold hand on the back of my head and then everything went black. I've fainted.

...

I woke up on the big blue couch at Seth's house. I felt weird. Not a bad weird, a very good one actually. I felt my muscles tens and I somehow knew they were stronger, faster. I opened my eyes and gasped. Everything was so bright and clear. I could see everything, even some colors I've never seen before. And then I felt a hideous pain cracking my skull. Like my mind is about to explode. I screamed and immediately felt someone on my side. Seth I recognized his scent. (Ye I could actually smell him). "Don't touch her!" someone yelled "you will ruin it. Don't touch her!" Angie. "She is in pain what do you want me to do stand and watch her scream?" Seth said a weird tone in his voice. "Exactly. It will be over soon just wait a second." Angie said more urgently.

And then the pain stopped and the pictures and words came. Pictures of wars and places I've never been at. Words that told me thousand different stories. It ended suddenly in a short cut.

"Now you can" I heard Angie say, and immediately felt hands on me helping me get up. "Are you ok? Kath answer me please." it was Seth over reacting as usual. "If you'll give me a chance I'll answer you" I joked looking up at him." I'm fine really". He sighed and bent down to kiss me. "Ho get a room, I'm trying to eat" it was Jim just coming from the kitchen. "So shut up and eat" Seth murmured and bent down to kiss me again. I was to dazed to react. The feeling of Seth's lips on mien, of his skin and hair against my hand was so much different than before. He pulled back and smiled at me "just checking everything's in place".

"Kath what did you see? It's important you'll tell us everything". It was Angie again. They were all in the room now watching me, Jim with a half eaten sandwich in his hands.

"Everything". I started to explain about the wars I saw, and all those words and stories. Angie and Lorna listened intensely nodding and sometime looking up to each other in a reaction to something I said.

"That's good you seem to know all the history. But I'm looking for something specific, you see. What you have just experienced was the info flow. When the order created us they put all this information in our head that we will be able to reach to when we 'wake up'. When we were attacked that night we instinctively opened our powers. We got the flow and from the power of it we experienced a very disturbing hour of death. But it also suppose to give some unique sight to each one by what he can do...you see the order carefully built our DNA so we will have certain powers in perfect balance inside of us. "She said.

"Well at the very end I saw a very weird sentence it said ' the mined is yours to control' know what it means?" six shocked eyes jumped to stare at me. "No way" Jamey said, "impossible" Lorna said starting to pace along the room, "awesome" Jim said his voice muffled from the sandwich. "What?" I asked suddenly curios. "Well" Lorna stopped dead and started to explain. "Something like this happened only once before, with the first fire warrior. This sentence means your power affect the mind. You can read it control it do whatever you like as if it's a notebook and you could just write read or erase whatever you want to, it's an extremely strong ability and it's very hard to control it." she finished. They all stared at me like they expected me to start doing tricks in the middle of the room. "So... What do we do now?" I asked to move the attention from me.

"Now we have only one thing left to do" Angie said.

"What is it?" I started to worry. everything that happened until now was very unexpected, dangerous, and very weird.

"You have to train "Angie started. "And train hard" Jim finished. His sandwich disappeared, and he was suddenly very excited.
