Chapter Two: The beginning of something new

I had to decided what to do next. I didn't even know the year. Too long had I been in isolation, I needed out. After burying Albert I walked, what direction I did not know. I just walked and walked following a path that my feet lead me on. By the end of the day I found myself in a meadow. The moonlight shone over it filling in all the empty spaces with a soft silver light. To normal eyes, human eyes it was dark, but to me it was the brightest and most beautiful of lights. Twilight. Walking towards the middle of the meadow I sat down with my lags crossed. It was so peaceful that I knew that I could sit here for as long as I needed, till Ii had made a decision as to my future. Placing my hands on my knees I closed my eyes and entered my mind. To the outside world I was in a trance, meditating, but for me all I was doing was clearing up my mind so that my decision was clear and true.

I sat there for a long time probably about a week, just thinking a clearing my head. I came to the conclusion that I needed to find my brothers and sister. Also that while I was doing that going to school would also be a good cover to why I looked so young, but then I could go to a supernatural school? With the connection with my brothers and sister I knew that they were at a school north of where I was. Getting up I began to run in their direction. As I ran I thought what I would tell them or if I should reveal myself to them. Did they deserve to know I was there? Coming out of my thoughts I noticed the familiar surroundings, this was where I had set up a school for supernatural's centuries ago. I called this place the Temple, but what it was called now I did not know. As I got closer I put up the small defences I had against others hiding both my scent and body from them. I was invisible. There are many supernatural beings here, I could sense them. Vampires, witches, wizards, and many more. However the scent that was the strongest was the scent of my brothers and sister. They were inside the school. Looking up at the sun I noticed that it was mid day already, I had been running for three days.

Looking on at the school I came to a decision.

It was a frosty day as everyone walked towards the large building. Those that were still human or had human characteristics had puffs of smoke coming from their mouths as they breathed showing the contrast to their hot bodies to the cold weather outside. They all froze in their steps as thy noticed a hooded figure walking towards the school. The figure was on a pure white cloak with a hood up covering its face. It walked with inhuman grace, but still too graceful for a supernatural. It seem to stop and look at everyone, then continue walking towards them. As whoever it was got closer it looked up from the ground to reveal white eyes that shone through the shadows that covered its face. It did not stop again but continued to walk on past all the shocked frozen people. The cloaked figure walked through the doors and was confronted with the mysterious ancient brothers: Sam and Sasha, the figure stood still and for a while everyone got a good look at the figure. It was obvious that the figure was feminine and that they were short and slim. The girl stood starring at the brothers then suddenly turned and walked towards a bench on her right. Sitting down she was joined by the brothers, for what seemed like a decade they sat in silence just watching everything around them. They were soon joined by the sister of the brothers, Sally.

I knew that people would be shocked with the fact that I was obviously new and the cloak didn't help, but it covered me up enough. I could not show people what I looked like, broken as I was it would be deadly for anyone, but my brothers or sister to see what I had become. I walked through the entrance only be confronted with the sight of my brothers: Sam and Sasha. They had not changed one bit. They both still were shockingly beautiful even though they looked sad. Their eyes looked broken like I felt. As soon as I walked in they looked up at me and stared. They knew it was me I didn't bother to hide from them. With my senses I knew that there was a bench on my right turning I walked towards it and sat down. I knew that they where following me and they sat in front of me on the other side. For ten minutes we sat in silence just sitting in comfort of each others presences. Next to me my sister appeared and sat down, how she knew to come I did not know for I I had not yet opened my mind to them. They knew that I wouldn't open my mind for sometime, only when I was ready.

Looking up at my family I saw that they where looking at everything and seemed to be avoiding looking in my direction. Sighing I knew that I would have to be the one starting the conversation.

"It has been to long Sam, Sasha, Sally" I said.

Looking up at me Sally said "Hello Elizabeth. What are you doing here I thought you where staying with Albert?" Sam and Sasha from guilt just nodded.

Sighing, again I realised that I have been doing that a lot recently.

"Albert is dead. He died about four five days ago. I am sorry I know how close you were all to him and him to you. He died of natural causes and left letters for you." Handing them the letters that I found with Albert's dead body I realised how much I had missed my brothers and sister.

"At least it was peaceful and not violent." Sasha spoke for the first time since my arrival.

"Yes. Now he is in a better place." Sam said.

"What are you going to do now Elizabeth? I did not think that you would ever leave the sanctuary." Sasha stated.

"Always to the point Sasha." I said smiling, but no one could see that I was smiling because of my hood, though it was clear in my voice that I was amused. "How about we start with you calling me by my real name, Selena." I then stood up and brush out the creases in my white cloak and walked away back towards the entrance leaving the building.
