Aly's POV

I sat down in front of Demi's desk.

Her long blond hair was in a messy bun and she was wearing her black glasses.

I was shaking a little, being a bit nervous for facing Demi.

"I wanna talk with you. Give you some answers on the questions you've been asking me lately. Don't be nervous, you'll need your nerves when it will be necessary." Demi said.

I took a deep breath and did as she said. It was kinda great though, I've been asking her about the Royals since the minute Evan told me about it, but I never got my answers.

"Am I really gonna be a vampire, werewolf and a witch?" I asked her and looked her in the eye.

She looked up and nodded. "That's right. When you turn 18 this summer, everything will change. It'll be scary, but I'll be at your side. We wanted to be there for you. We wanted to have you with us before it'd happen."

I was confused. "We? Us?"

"I'm talking about the Royals. Thomas, Peter, Daniël, Nick...."

"-and you", I finished her sentence.

She nodded. "Why me, though? Why am I involved in all of this?"

"That's a long story, love. Come sit with me." She tapped the spot on the couch right next to her.

As I sat down she pushed me gently against her and played with my hair while continuing her story.

"One of your... ancestors, Isabelle Lamberts, lived during the eighteenth century", she started. "She was the most powerful witch in our history. Everyone knew her. She was only twenty-six when she died in a battle, but before she died, she gave birth to a baby girl. No one knew what happened to the girl after Isabelles death. We did found something else, something really valuable."

Demi showed me the pictures of a happy little girl, a teenager and some of a young lady. All of them were me in different times of my life so far. In all of the pictures was a name written.

Alena Eleanor Lamberts

My name.

My name was written on some century-old baby photos.

My baby photos.

How was this possible?

Was this my doppelganger?

Was this me in some other life?

One picture was a beautiful lady with the baby in her arms.

"Is that... Isabelle?" I asked.

"Yes, that's her. You were just born in that picture."

I swallowed. This was so weird.

"But this was... 1789. How's that possible? That can't be me, Dem." I looked confused at her.

"I told you, Isabelle was the most powerful witch in this universe. Her power was insane. This means she was capable of everything and she was willing to use her power to save her little girl."

I was quiet, curiously listening to every word Demi told me.

"Everything, so what she did was risky, very risky."

"What did she do, Demi?"

Before she answered she swallowed and took a deep breath.

"She travelled in time", she said. "She brought you to the future, to the 21st century. She saved you, Aly. And that's how you're here, alive."
