Prologue
I smile dancing to the loud techno music echoing the place, neon lights hitting the ground and walls. My hair is up in a ponytail, I'm wearing a black mesh deep v neck top with a solid black bralette underneath and a green high waisted skinny jeans with open toed green heels.
Going to the bathroom needing to pee, I check my phone to see Jeremy texted asking how my first week in England is while Elena is texting how I'm a bitch for getting to study in England and that it should be her. Well you didn't skip a grade now did you? Mom and dad haven't texted once, I don't know why I'm not surprised. I'm not the twin they would kill for or help bury a body for.
After I'm done with my business, I look up seeing a man in here "Um" grabbing the thin brown paper towels—that it's basically just brown paper—here to dry my hands "this is the ladies room" looking around the bathroom, yup this is the ladies room.
Next thing I know I'm being pushed up against the wall, his hand around my neck. A gasp escapes me when I struggle fighting back but his grip tightens and his eyes do this weird dilating thing "Do not make a noise and stand still"
"Help!" I scream which causes him to look confused so his grip in my neck tightens that I feel the air leaving my throat, a few tears run down my face as he tries to order me to not do anything again. I struggle more as fangs come out and his eyes veins turns a dark color.
I slide down the floor when he's yanked off by this blonde with some facial hair, warm ivory skin and blue eyes. Grabbing my neck as I stand up, I'm obviously shaking. The two fight and when the blonde pulls out a wooden stake he stakes the thing and the body goes limp. Its skin begins to turn grey and the guy who staked the thing pushes it off and gets up.
"What" he looks my way as I point "what the hell is that?!"
He walks over to me "What" he has this Scottish accent or I think it's Scottish "do you remember?"
"What" spluttering as I'm shaking "what do you mean? Some guy pushed me up against the wall and had fangs! Only vampires have fangs and vampires shouldn't be real and the stake this really reminds me of my parents secret room in their closet filled with stakes that look like that and"
He covers my mouth with his hand "Your panicking" he watches as I take in calming breaths calming down a bit "let me buy you some water" he set the body and fire and I watch as it quickly turned to ash "follow me" taking my wrist, he has us leave the club. When we are at this pub, he orders himself beer and me some water.
The bartender looks between us and I asked "Why did that guy try to kill me?"
"She encountered a sociopath" my savior tells the bartender whose eyes widen "the police have him" the bartender leaves then and the guy pushes the water to me "drink, you need it" Taking it, I am silent as I sip the water "Your parents or one of them are hunters"
"I'm sorry?" I ask
"Vampire hunters" he looks around before showing me a stake "this was the stake you saw?"
I take a look at it nodding my head "Yeah, there were a bunch with a crossbow and these knives. But the room was boarded up, didn't look like anyone was there for a long time"
"Then someone in your family was a hunter" he explains "like myself, part of the Brotherhood"
"Brotherhood?" I repeat
"Brotherhood of the Five" he explains "we are this supernatural group of vampire hunters who sole purpose is to end this immortal named Silas but until then we have to kill vampires to complete this mark"
"What mark?" I ask
"It's an invisible mark" he shows my his right hand "but right here" he points to the palm of his hand that doesn't have anything on it "it's a compass and I don't know where the mark will end but the mark is a map"
"So this Silas" I ask "how will you kill him?"
"I'll shove the cure down his throat" he explains "the cure to immortality, once I shove it down his throat and kill him will my task be complete"
"Why yourself?" Shaking my head "if there's five of you"
"I don't know" he stops me "how many of us there are left, the only way I know about this is because of a witch" I stare at him "yes, witches are real"
"I think I need something stronger" taking his beer and drinking it all "much stronger" making a face, he chuckles. So glad he finds this amusing.
***
When I leave Anubis House, there's this elderly lady sitting down on the bench outside "Um" she looks my way smiling "Can I help you with something?"
"It's you!" She exclaims standing up "it's really you!" She takes my hands on hers "I've been wait in for you for a long time" his lady has short white hair with grey eyes and warm beige skin.
"Um" nodding my head "Okay...why don't we sit down? What's your name?"
"Sarah" she says "my name is Sarah" she points to Anubis House "that's my house"
"Your house?" Repeating the words "this house?"
She nods her head "You mustn't let them find it" grabbing my arms tightly "you mustn't let them find it"
"Find what?" I ask
"The treasure" she says, looking over her eyes widen "you're a twin?"
Looking over, I see Elena "Elena?" She tilts her head looking at me "What...are mom and dad" making a tense face "you can't let me have this one good thing can you? I got here on my own and let me guess you threw a tantrum until mom and dad gave in"
"I'm not Elena" shaking her head, she walks towards me on high heels "it's uncanny, the resemblance between us" she pushes some of my hair behind my ear "I'm so glad we are meeting"
"Who are you?" Taking a step away from her "oh my god am I a triplet? If so we have a sister named Elena who is a huge bitch"
Her lips twitch amused "We aren't sisters...but we are family. I'm Katherine" holding her hand out "Katherine Pierce"
"Autumn" shaking her hand after a moment, not sure what to make of her "Autumn Gilbert"
