Origins *Book 3 Of The Hunted Series*

Chapter 13: Vampire Origins

I don't own any of the Twilight characters or events

I walk around the giant Greek library, running my finger across the spines of all the books.

Leticia watches as I circle the room.

Kira and Mia stretch and yawn, laying across the soft sofas scattered around the room, snoring.

I smile at the sleeping lycans.

"Is there something you're looking for in particular young hunter?" Leticia wonders, sitting behind the desk in the middle of the room.

"Not really. I just want to know more."

"Hmm. I got something that might interest you." Leticia says, blurring to the very top of the shelf behind the desk.

"Are you a Titan or something? How can you move like us?"

"Because I'm Cassandra's priest, whatever she can do, I can do. It's the way we work. Incase she finds herself in a vulnerable position, I can keep her safe." She says, gracefully landing on the balls of her feet, blowing the dust off a book.

"You can control what she controls? Darkness and nature?"

"Exactly." Leticia says, boping me on my nose.

I look the dark haired woman over, noticing the familiarity in her markings

The skull in a blue flame in the ditch of her right arm.

The dark band wrapped around her upper left arm.

The paw print implant on her shoulders, symbolizing Ceberus.

The band with the letter H on her ring finger.

Hades.

"You and Hades are nothing alike, yet you're the exact same."

Leticia chuckles and glances at the skull on her arm.

"Yes. As much as he gets on every last nerve in my body." She says, pausing, smiling at the very thought of him.

"You'd lose your mind if anything were to happen to him."

She looks down at me and smiles.

"Very true. He means the world to me." She says, chuckling at the snoring lycans, drool dripping out Kira's mouth.

Gross.

"Speaking of husband's, why isn't your mate here?" Leticia says, motioning to the snoring lycans.

"Training with Malia and the Gods."

"Why aren't they there?" She questions, glancing at the sleeping sisters.

"When they want a good nap, they guard me. I normally mediate or research who we're hunting."

"You're quiet." Leticia states, arching an eyebrow.

"Yea. Everybody else plays video games or they're fighting. If it's not them, then it's Apollo or Malik. Sometimes Rose and Alice join me."

"Speaking of Rosalie and Alice, start here." She says, flipping to a page titled vampires.

"Vampires. This book, what's it about?"

"You wanted to learn, so learn. Whatever species you want to know about is in there. Read. I have some work to do at my desk. Any questions you have, I'm right here." She says, moving to her desk, sitting down.

"Thank you."

Leticia smiles and winks at me, picking up a pen and proceeding to write.

"Oh and one other thing lycans." She says, never looking up from the paper.
