/Jade/

Staked outside of Tori's house, the West sisters and Cat were trying to come up with a plan to take down the young vampiress.

"Okay lycan twins, how is going to work?" Cat asked, crossing her arms.

"Well as far as what we know about Wannabe Katherine, that she's probably turned off her humanity." Jade mused.

"Turned off her humanity?" Cat repeated, confused.

"See, Kitty, when you become a vampire, your emotions become heightened. Rage, Anger, Grief. When you make your first kill, your humanity makes it unbearable to cope. So they just...turn it off. Mostly because of the pain. And that's why, most vampires, like Tori, tend to be a bit uncaring about what they do to people." Jozzy explained, smiling at the redhead.

Jade nods. "How come you know so much about vampires?"

"Oh, I'm not supposed to speak about that just yet. But what I do know is that you'll find out soon enough." Jozzy deadpanned.

Cat took in a sharp breath. She didn't like the fact all these supernatural things were going on. She felt like she should know something too, she did, she was actually a particularly smart girl, who chose to carry on a ditzy facade to retain her intelligence from the outside world.

She was inquisitive as she was cautious, and she remembered a few things her grandmother had told her before she passed. Could it be the old bedtime stories her nana used to tell her were true?

My grandmother told me stories of the supernatural beings that are supposedly haunting this world," she spoke finally, more to herself than the girls beside her.

"And?" Jade pressed.

"She said that one day soon The Queen would take her resemblance in the body of teenage girl." Cat spoke monotonously, the cheerfully happy note to her voice gone.

"The...Queen?" Jozzy asked, her head tilted to the side.

"The Queen." Cat repeated, hoping to spark a memory. She got blank looks. "Oh come on you guys are gonna tell me that you two haven't heard of the prophecy?"

The twins shake their heads.

Cat sighed. "A few hundred years ago, the first vampire was created. Her name was Tatia. She is an Original, the most powerful vampire there is. She has doppelgangers; one of them I've come to realize is Tori."

"So... There's another crazed vampire Vega running around killing people?" Jade concluded.

Cat nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, you could say that. But in no way is this 'Tori' related to the actual Tori."

Jade's brows furrow. "How so?"

"Well Tori's last name is Vega right?"

Jade shrugged. "Yeah? What's that got to do with anything."

"Guys. I, I think Tori might be adopted."

"They're just sitting there. Should I go out there?" Beck asked, turning to Tori.

"No, no, it'll blow your cover. Then they'll know you're alive and I'll lose my leverage over Jade." Tori told him, swinging her legs back and forth, sitting on the arm of her family's bright red couch.

She jumped off and strode over to the window to look for herself. She laughed. "Please. They're trying to come up with a plan. Why do such a thing in front of the enemy's house?"

Beck shrugged. "Why ask me?"

Tori snorted. "It was a redundant question, Beck."

The boy mocked her under his breath. She flashed to him and lifted him into the air by his neck, making sure to squeeze it painfully. "Mock me again and I swear I will dispose of your day ring and tie you to a tree to watch you burn at sunrise!"
