            After arriving back at the mansion, Elijah told Klaus he would like to talk to him while I went up to Elijah’s room and found the journal he was talking about. It was sitting on the nightstand by itself. It was dark brown and made of thin leather, there was no telling how old it was. I remove it from the table and sit down on the couch near the bay window.

            When I open the journal, I notice a spot is marked. I flip to the page and read:

May 23rd, 1456

            This week, I made a shocking discovery! I was visiting Annette, my old witch friend from childhood, and she told me of a young woman she had met a few months previous. She stumbled up on her in the forest as she was looking for some herbs. The way she spoke of this mystery woman frightened me. She said she was a witch, like us, but yet very different…

            As she went on, she spoke of a spirit witch, something I had never believed in. It had always been a myth, no one had ever met a spirit witch until now. The myth stated that if Mother Nature was ever furious with the supernatural, she would create her ‘offspring’. It was meant as a punishment, as the witch had gained her power through Mother Nature herself. She had the gift of giving or taking life. No matter what you were, even if you were an Original, she could kill you with one single kiss.

            I didn’t believe her at first, but then she told me that she had befriended this witch and wanted me to meet her. I was reluctant, but agreed to see if there was any truth to the myth.

            Within the next few days, Annette had a ball at her home and invited practically the whole community. It was there that I met the mystery woman. Her name was Talia. She was beautiful and always had the attention of the men in the room. I was anxious to talk to her but after I did, I figured out she actually wasn’t terrifying. She was friendly and I enjoyed her company.

            After everyone left, Talia showed me some of her magic. We went out into the woods and travelled for about a day, we found a group of soldiers who were injured. Talia went up to each one and kissed them. Sometimes, she kissed them on the lips, other times, on the forehead, or even the hand. Each time, they died, within seconds.

            I thought she put them out of their misery, but she went back and kissed them all again. They awoke and their injuries were healed. I couldn’t believe my eyes! All this time I thought she was evil and turns out, when she takes a life, she also gives one.

            Spirit witches are indeed very interesting but also very dangerous. They’re just like any other supernatural creature, they can be good or evil, depends on the person, I suppose.
