The Book Of Life

Chapter Fourteen

Brandon did a number on me two nights ago. He put me through the ringer.

Normally I would have healed, like they used to, by now but the bruises I have are not from hockey, they are from Don, who taught me everything he could for one night- mostly consisting of a crash course in Martial arts and drilling into me right away as he taught me the no so basics of Karate.

My upper arms and thighs ache and shake with exhaustion sometimes, otherwise they are slightly sore. Sophie shadows me, everywhere. Acting as if she randomly happens to be there when I spot her, and she can't deny that I saw her. What she doesn't know is that I would have seen her regardless of my powers. Or enhanced eyesight.

She tries to follow me every time I'm seen with Arron or Alyx.

So far, she doesn't know our usual meeting spot.

"She has you in her sights, Katlyn." Alyx sighs.

"Following you around like a lost puppy." Arron sates.

I snort and the Everett siblings narrow their eyes at me, "Think of the irony in what you just said then.

Laughter spews from their lips with mine.

"She has to know something by now. "Alyx cries, "Otherwise she wouldn't be following us around."

"Yeah, I agree with Alyx. She is getting way to close for comfort." Kory agrees.

"She only meant to attack you because she thought you were a Supernatural. I guess she thought you were a newly turned Werewolf or a rogue." Alyx points out.

A sly smile spreads across my lips. " I am a Supernatural very much, keeper and guardian of the book in fact. She just doesn't know it."

"Or an unidentified Supernatural." Arron shrugs.

They were shocked when I told them about mine and Sophie's encounter. So much so, they wanted to capture her and extract every last information about what she knows and what she saw, out of her. I had a feeling that they were more focused on protecting me, instead of the book.

"Witches," Kory seethes, " Always trying to prove their place in the Supernatural world. As if they have to prove themselves......Humans with magic. What's more supernatural than that!"

I know, I can deal with Kory as friend but witches, a hard pass." I guess the two have finally come around.

"Why don't we create a secret base or hideout or something. That way no one would ever know where we are or went." Kory pipes up.

"Yes! and that way we don't have to worry about Sophie shadowing us everywhere." Alyx agreed.

"Also, no other humans finding out about the Supernatural accidentally." Arron says, his eyes casting over to me, sending and invisible meaning behind his look.

I sigh. I guess they are right, a hidden base would do wonders. But I have a feeling it's going to be me that's the one to create it.

"Okay, I agree with you all. But I am not being the one to create this." I say.

"Katlyn." Kory states my name, raw emotion emulates in her voice, "You are the most powerful Supernatural in history. Werewolves associate your pelt colour with Fenrir, the God of wolves and the most powerful werewolf out there- He, was the original werewolf. Vampire's believe you're their goddess Elizabeth: Who was the first ever Vampire after she was killed and brought back to life as a Vampire by the goddess of nature because she gave her blood to help heal the wounds Elizabeth received when she fought for her life as Queen when she died on the battle field- From then on, her new life as a Vampire meant that she lived for centuries, her own people were turned and soon Vampirism spread to the world."

I'm shocked.

"I-I never knew anyone seen the guardian of Supernatural's like that." I stutter.

"No. Not you as the Keeper of the secret and Guardian of the book. You as a fucking Supernatural yourself!" Kory shouts.

I'm Astounded even. Bewildered. My whole brain and body are disorientated.

"You all see me as multiple Gods and Goddess?" I feel as though I'm about to faint.

"Yes. Most Supernatural's believe you, are the Reincarnation of the first protector. Her name was Elizaveta Mercia- The first ever Supernatural to be all the species. The first ever Human to be turned Supernatural." Alyx states, yellow amber eyes ablaze as she hammers each word into my brain.

"Okay, " I sigh, still shaken up. "How do we create it?"

"It's a pretty powerful spell- even some of the most powerful witches can't master it." Kory states.

I have a knowing pang in my gut that I am going to need the book for this.

"Kory! You can't be serious; I only just mastered the basics!"

"Katlyn! those were nothing compared to what you can do, those are to teach you control and make sure you have control of your powers. You are the most powerful Witch alive today!" Kory says as her iron grip burns my shoulders as she shakes them.

"Fine," I grumble, opening my bag and pulling out the book. "Give me a few seconds, I don't actually know what I'm looking for okay."

I don't know if the book is actually going to help me with the spell but I know it feels right have it in my hands. I know the energy I exert when casting the spell will be caught and sucked in by the book and spat out. But into my body as if it was a cycle, the energy the book will spit out will be twice as much- possibly thousands- more times powerful than mine. I think of it as a conduit.

"Why not underneath the drama block? We seem to like coming back to this place every time." Arron shrugs.

"Nice thinking!" Alyx slaps her brothers back.

Who hisses in pain a little and glowers at his sister.

"The whole building will be sound proofed so any excess noise we make would be barely heard." Kory eagerly states.

"Just one question: How are we going to get in if it is underground?" Alyx's tone emulates confusion.

so am I, I am confused as heck.

"We can use a protection charm that would only allow us to enter if we had the right password. But right now, let's let Katlyn focus on creatin' it."
