Chapter 10: A History of Knightwood Bay

Justin and Benny were moping around the house trying to find anything to do while the adults were out. The boys ended up being grounded for sneaking out without permission and taking the car to who knows where. Miranda was not thrilled and took disciplinary action on the two. She hoped that when she left for work on Monday that things won't get out of hand, but anything was possible in this family.

"I can't believe we got grounded." Benny commented while he searched the fridge for food. Justin sat on the island stools trying not to think about what happened yesterday.

Benny had told him what happened the moment he grabbed Alison's wrist, the situation only lasted seconds just like the incident in the cafeteria. He told Benny what he saw, but were confused about the images and decided to call Alison over to clear some things up.

"Alison should be here in a couple minutes." Justin commented to Benny.

"Why couldn't we help them look for Ozzie?" Benny asked as he took a seat next to Justin, "We're his friends." Justin shook his head while his friend stuffed his mouth with food, the words barely understandable.

"What I don't understand is the fact that you saw Ozzie. Or someone who looked like him, yet he wasn't there." Justin questioned, "Didn't Alison say she was sure Jason was behind the text and call?" Benny shrugged his shoulders nothing made sense anymore.

Jason was watching Ozzie adjust to his new life, he had plans for this boy and he was sure it would work.

"Vampire 101, you need blood." Jason spoke to the newest fledgling, "Too bad that isn't an option." He smirked as he grabbed his shoulders. He looked at Ozzie who was terrified beyond belief, "You will starve until its time."

Ozzie complied with Jason's orders and showed no emotion, he had been put in a trance. It was only a matter of time until the bloodlust got too strong that he could possibly die.

Justin, Benny, and Alison were reviewing all possible clues to what Jason was up to. Alison had some idea of Jason's goal, but since she was a fledgling she could only be told so much.

Justin accidentally put his hand near Alison's as he tried to make sense of the clues when he gets the most painful headache yet. He was in agony and holding his temples to dull down the pain but it wasn't working. The pain suddenly left when Benny put his hand on his shoulder to calm him. Alison just stared at him not knowing what was happening.

Justin turned his head towards the hall as he started to hear whispers again, Benny moments later starting hearing them as well. The whispers started very low and built up as they started walking towards them, Alison was a bit confused since she couldn't hear anything even with her vampire super hearing.

"Speak, demand, we'll answer." The first of the whispers were heard followed by, "The truth." Justin and Benny were surprised they could hear the words clearly. They reached the same spot as before only there wasn't a door this time. The last of the whispers were heard followed by the words, "Jason's past." Suddenly the door appeared right before their eyes.

Justin opened it and started walking towards the room in the back. Alison followed the boys not shocked at all; she was a vampire after all.

On the table the Book of Shadows rested on a small podium. Justin and Benny were a little taken back because they had locked the book in its original place. The three approached the book; Justin was about to touch the book when it sprung to life and the pages started to flip on their own. They jumped back not knowing what was going to happen until the book opened to a particular page, "A History of Knightwood Bay, 1693."

Alison started to read from the page as Justin and Benny stepped forward to touch the book. "The town of Knightwood Bay was actually once known as Grandview, founded in 1693, by Brandon Knight and Jake Baywood-Knight, was once home to those who escaped the fate of the Salem Witch Trials." Justin quickly gasped thinking he was going to get sucked into another one of his visions, but this time it was different, nothing around him froze and his eyes were only glowing. He was thrown into the past as he saw the scenes of what Alison was reading. "Until the Lockwood family moved into town. The Knight's and Baywood's had suspected they were creatures of the night and confronted them."

Justin saw all three families confronting each other of their secrets and agreed to keep them safe. Time sped forward to the night when a Lockwood was feeding on an innocent. It infuriated the Knight's and Baywood's and took matters in their own hands. All sides had plans for the other and nothing good would come out of it.

"The Lockwood's told the townspeople about witches walking among them. The townspeople were afraid and took drastic measures to rid their town of evil. Before the townspeople could burn them at the stake, the two families went to the Lockwood Estate and burned it to the ground." Alison kept reading as Justin saw the images of what was happening.

He saw someone who looked like his father approach the estate holding a purple crystal, and he saw another man summon fire from his hand and aimed it towards the building. The building caught on fire instantly and the family inside struggled to escape because the crystal stopped them from entering the town again. The crystal started to glow and float into the air sending waves of energy across the town. It came back down and rested in the palm of his hand. The two walked away as the house continued to burn down.

Justin saw two figures emerge from the building carrying someone out and the image flashed white before he could see whom they were. His eyes stopped glowing as he gasped for air. Alison and Benny were staring at him, wanting to know what happened.

"What was that?" Alison questioned, "Another vision?" she asked as she air quoted vision.

"Yeah. It just stopped." Justin responded to both of them, "I feel like there was something missing. There's more. Something important."

"Well there's nothing more the page stopped halfway." Benny answered as he eyed the book.

Alison stepped forward and was going to touch the book, but before she had the chance the book closed itself shut with an audible slam. She was bewildered and tried again; the book threw itself off the podium and onto the floor. Justin and Benny looked at each other with knitted eyebrows. Alison once again kneeled down to pick up the book only to have the book burn her hands. She yelled in agony as the book fell to the floor and she looked at her hands as smoke vanished into the air.

"Are you okay?" Justin asked her while Benny picked up the book and set it on the table. He went over to check on her burn that was slowly healing up. The books pages were once again flying open and stopped on the page it was on before. The three looked at the page and it had more writing on it.

"There's more writing on the page." Benny whispered as he began to continue where they left off. "The townspeople saw the rubble near the orchard the following morning and thought it was the work of the witches. That night an angry mob formed outside of the Knight and Baywood's property. They were taken to a remote area in the woods were they had set up stakes."

Justin recalled the dream he had when he passed out and was quickly taken back into the past as he touched the book and put a hand on Benny's shoulder.

The area looked the same as before the only difference was the night sky and the angry townspeople surrounding the platform. The two men pleaded with the people to reconsider, they weren't the ones to be feared. They had already made up their mind to rid the town of evil. The two men held hands ready for the fate and punishment they were going to receive. Justin saw a look on the man that looked like his father, but it quickly disappeared. Justin thought he might have had a vision, but about what.

"He saw that these deaths were only the beginning, they were going to come back and seek revenge for what they had done. They were going to be back with a new agenda and no one was going to be able to stop them if they burned the two men; Neath the swallowed moon the dead take route, for the barren orchard bears the devil's fruit. The townspeople were warned of a special alignment of three orbs in the sky that would cast a red shadow on the earth, one no one would see coming." Benny continued reading out loud.

Justin saw two men light the ground of sticks on fire. The fire quickly engulfed the two men who were tied to a single stake on the platform, they yelled in agony as the fire burned them alive. His vision flashed white as it changed perspective, he saw two boys about his age or a little older look from afar towards the fire. He assumed the boys were the men's children; the boy who looked like Justin was about to run toward the fire when the other boy stopped him and tried to calm him down. He quickly took him away from the scene and ran towards a house.

Benny finished reading the last of the text, "After that night, many more burnings at the stake took place for the remainder of the year. More than one hundred witches and vampires were burned, and their remains buried in an unmarked grave. The next year, the town was reborn as Knightwood Bay."

Justin was at a house and heard people talking about one day coming back, they told the young man that he was to do exactly what they talked about. "Find the crystal if you want them back." Justin heard someone say, it sounded like Benny but with an accent. His vision flashed to where he was looking at the young man face to face. The young man was Jason Lockwood.

Justin gasped, "Okay, the book left out one huge detail." He began as the two listened, "Two people helped someone escape the burning building, that someone was Jason." Justin explained to them about a crystal the two figures were talking about in his vision.

"So that's why he wants the crystal!" Alison concluded.

"What's the big deal about an old rock?" Benny asked at no one really. The book quickly started flying through pages rapidly when it came to a stop on a page about a crystal. "Ask and you shall receive," Benny joked as the others rolled their eyes.

The page showed a royal purple clear crystal, the exact same one that was on Jason's parchment. Justin started to read the page, "The Animus Crystal, created for the sole purpose of preserving the souls of supernatural beings. A powerful witch that could alter reality created the crystal out of an ancient moonstone. Can only be used on the night of an aligned full moon, by a descendant of the witch who created it. If touched or used by a vampire, the user will become imprisoned within the crystal and will be drained slowly of their life force." Justin finished reading the text on the page and Alison looked at him, "What?" he questioned.

"Jason thinks that crystal can resurrect his followers." Alison quickly stated to the two boys.

"And not only that, but he's a vampire from over three hundred years ago!" Justin exclaimed while closing the book and Alison's phone beeping. She picks it up and sees the message she received from Jason.

"Guys, we have a problem!" She quickly exclaimed and showed the guys the message.

And I am back with Part Two! Thanks for reading everyone! Sorry for the long wait but I bet it was worth it.
