Seraphina
The wonder twins are gaping while looking around the house with a curiosity that is so amusing i don't even stop them but i figure that this is leading us nowhere and we would have plenty of time later to introduce them to modern day technology.
As i pour myself a glass of tequila from the liquor cabinet i turn towards them and ask, "Do you guys need a drink?" in hopes of plying them with alcohol so they loosen up and make it easy for me to get answers out of them
"I'll take fairy wine if you have some" rose says and snort in reply and say, "fairy wine what are we children..didn't you have any good booze back then, hmm considering every good kind of alcohol was invented after your time i'd say you are safe with a beer for now" and she nods
" I would love what you are have there darling" sebastian says
I pop a beer out of the mini fridge and pour another tequila for sebastian and hand them their drinks and say, "this is one of the few times i'm pouring you- a stranger a drink so you might as well remember it". They each take a sip and sebastian winces at the burn of the drink and i smirk at him as though saying i told you so.
" So take a seat if you will and we can get started with the 20 questions" i quip gesturing towards the couch and they settle down.
" Lets just address the elephant in the room shall we..Mr Lothaire how are you so very alive when even your sister thought you would be long dead.. Also follow up question why would you be long dead?" i ask and rose nods seemingly agreeing with my line of questioning.
He chuckles nervously and jokes, "Going straight for the jugular are we?"
"Your attempt at comedy to try and diffuse the tension albeit a well intended one is pathetic in reality so just cut the crap and answer the question" i cut back.
He clears his throat and says, "So starting at the beginning- during 1638 i got word there was war going on between our pack and the neighboring one so i wished to go and fight to save my people but 3 days before rose was put under the preservation sleep by antoine our combat and magic teacher i got wind of their plan to do this so that we are just in time to gain our powers and are ready for the heir of magic when he or she is of age and at that point in time the heir was not even conceived and it seemed rather odd to me that the sonarian council was not even taking our free will into accord and was treating us like pawns in their game and given that our parents were dead and antoine was the only one we thought we could trust i entrusted rose's safety to him and went to our birth city to help with the war but rose feared something would happen to me and could loose my life hence her belief that i were dead when she did not hear from me for 3 days"
He continued, "upon reaching there i found out that the news was fake and council was testing my loyalty to the throne and who i would choose between their directives and my desires. So they imprisoned me and i found out that antoine was on their side and he had already put rose to sleep but i fought my way out of that place and my loyal friends in the guard helped me sneak away so with much difficulty i reached the armory only to find antoine there, we fought each other that ended with him almost killing me but he took mercy on me and temporarily linked my the tiny sliver of life force i had left to rose and did a spell that technically rendered me dead but i would also come back to life when rose is reawoken by someone hence my turning up alive when you darling woke my sister up"
"Oh my god seb you went through so much but i am so glad you are alive and we finally have our powers and can finally live our lives freely without the council's influence now" rose says in between sobs and ambushes her brother in a hug
"Speaking of powers, you mind telling me who got which?" i ask nonchalantly.
"Oh my animal has already awoken and she is pretty chatty for a wolf" she says sheepishly.
"Guess that means you're the dragon then, we haven't gotten one of those in well ever..making you an enigma with powers truly unknown to me. Care to fill me in?" i ask Sebastian innocently. (failing miserably)
"Ah i could i tell you but then again you did promise to tell us about yourself so you tell me yours and i tell you mine i guess" he says smirking.
"God you're good" i quip and he chuckles deeply which somehow affects me just a tinge.
"So.." he probes and i sigh rolling my eyes and nod as though saying fine.
"My name as you know already is Seraphina Marshall, I'm turning twenty in a few months. I am a tribrid- the only one that exists in the worlds that means i have vampire, witch and werewolf powers. My parents are both dead and i have little to no family so never ask me about them if you don't fancy the broken bones you'll get to show for it. How i have these powers is a story i don't feel the need to share with strangers and mere aquaintances."
"Woah you intimidate me even more now if that's possible and i'm sorry about your parents i understand that feeling well." Rose says with kindness in her eyes that isn't what people normally show the ice-bitch.
Then she hesitates for a second but then finally asks the question i had been waiting for, "Seraphina, out of everything i want to know how it is that you found me or why were you there in the first place because as far as i can comprehend you are not who i expected would be waking me up."
That is when i look both of them straight in the eye and say, "Ah finally you are asking the right question proving my initial assessment of rose being the smart one correct. As for your question i am a student at an institute for the supernatural called The Starlight Academy- its the closest thing to a home for me. I was on a sabbatical of sort for the past 5 months and i recently got a call from the headmistress of the academy about a very powerful magical signature around this area probably yours so i was instructed to apprehend the situation and bring the supernatural back"
Gauging their silence as indication to go i continue,"After series of investigation i found you and the rest as they say is history i guess, Now i am probably right when i say that you two have nowhere to go and no means to live as you don't understand the current world so i propose that you come with me of your own accord and we can probably enroll you into the academy after some testing and you can learn new skills and ways of this time and can live a proper life after you graduate in 1-2 years. In the mean time we can figure out what kind of events led you to have a 365 years long nap together."
They seem to process what i just said and sebastian says, " what you are proposing sounds well enough but i am curious as to why you would help us?"
"Well how does the good old saying go- all in good time my friend. Let's just say i have a divine intuition about it and also for once i would be actually following orders headmistress faulkner gave me so the welcome home would not be hostile and that is a plus in my dictionary" i reply with a chuckle.
"So we are coming with you, its settled then?" rose asks nervously.
"Yes sleeping beauty, it is pretty late now and you both have 5 hours before we leave for Celestia - the only small country that is independent of any monarchy or kingdom, it is run by an elected celestial council comprising of 5 formidable members. Its where the academy is based."
"Huh i have always wanted to see that region of our world, back in my time the country you speak of was ruled by this very ancient vampire family i don't remember the name but many considered them a myth, anyways enough of stories lets rest and eat something." Sebastian says leaving me yet again thinking of the past his tidbit of information reminded me of.
