After the sudden realization that I could potentially be a part of something on a larger scale, I became mute. I walked up into the room that I was staying in and sat there. I sat alone for a while before someone knocked on my door. I didn't say for them to come in, but Blythe opened the door and she walked in carrying an old book. She placed it down on the desk and opened it up to a page that was folded. 

"This is one of the books Osmum used to read to us when we were young. This is also an old wives' tale, but it has a connection to the twins' story and I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, especially in your case," Blythe explained. She took a breath and then stared up at me, "This book is an old spell book that was used by witches. There's a spell in here that is to hide supernatural beings' powers. This is the spellbook that was used to seal Lucien Octavien Eryss and Luxeniya Skylisius Eryss. Luxeniya is not a coincidence. There's no way. The supernatural beings were placed under a code name. The siren and the serpent. Very powerful demons. If not the most powerful. I don't think they were sex demons like everyone said they were. 

"If you read the spell, it was a spell to lock their power, but sin isn't only about lust. There's pride, wrath, greed, sloth, gluttony, and envy. I don't know what it means, but I think it's more than we think."

"Blythe, maybe you misunderstood the spell. It is in Latin," I commented.

She shook her head. "There's plenty of folklore about these beings written in English as well. There used to be many of them. I can't seem to find the name of these beings, it just keeps saying children of Lilith, but we are all children of Lilith. Eryss isn't an incubus clan. It's a pureblood demon clan," Blythe explained. 

"We don't know that's me for sure. Get serious Blythe. Head Bloodtrei would've had me killed since my name sounds like the original. He was under suspicion of me, to begin with. He would've killed me," I stood up and started to pace, "Although, he would want to keep me alive just in case my power was needed. Let's say I am this Luxeniya Eryss, he would want my power as insurance. If the incubi ever revolted against his rule, he would want me to destroy them... " Was Dominick horrible to me on purpose? So I wouldn't know about my true nature? He would always say I was special. No, he was horrible because he's evil, I thought.

Blythe frowned. "The possibilities of that is high. Bloodtrei is paranoid about losing his power. With the way Jesse would talk about him when he first met him. Osmum would say the same."

Tessa came up to my room with wide eyes. "Blair's here."

I descended downstairs with urgency. Jesse was supposed to be the one to return, not Blair. "Blair?"

Blair stood in the doorway, his eyes glowing white from within. Power was rolling off of him in waves. It wasn't like Jesse, but there was something about it that made me want to jump him all over again. Anger started to peak within my gut. "Where's Jesse?"

"We don't know. We knew he returned to his place and it was trashed when we went to go check up on him. We think Bloodtrei and Dom took him. We think they're on to him," Blair replied.

"No one thought to go with him? Dom and him fought. You guys should've been with him in order to back up his story!" I exclaimed, feeling my anger rise more, "They would've known that Jesse was no longer following their rule due to the fact that he attacked Dominick. Of course, they're going to believe Dom over Jesse! Jesse disappeared, which makes him look bad. We were so stupid to even think that this plan would work. He never would've been able to pull this off!"
