"Well, to first off I'm a vampire, second you're a seer and third we're sisters."

Amanda's POV

Just then my mom walked in and saw my shocked expression. "What's going on?" She said.

"Sister!" I shrieked. "Mom, I have a sister? Who? How? Why did you never tell me?" I turned to my mom whose face had turned white and she was staring with wide eyes towards who I guess was my sister. I had a sister! "Mom?" I yelled.

She looked at me, then back over to her. "Aspen." She whispered going up to her. "I thought they killed you." A tear escaped her watering eyes as she brushed Aspen's cheek with her fingers.

"I go by Victoria now." She said firmly. She hadn't flinched but I could tell in her eyes how nervous she was.

"What's going on?" I said quietly. "Mom will you please tell me?"

My mom turned to me and came to sit next to me on the couch taking my hand. "Before I met your father, I was married to a man named Andrew." She started looking over at Victoria/Aspen every few seconds. "We married right after highschool and I had Asp- I mean Victoria a year later. I had just turned 19 when I had her and everything was going good." By now she was staring into the distance as if remembering. Her hand was still clutching mine though as she continued her story.

"Right after Aspen's 3rd birthday we all went on a trip to Romania to see Drew's parents. On our way home, we lived here, we were attacked. Drew held them off and told me to take Aspen and run. I ran as fast as I could, even as I felt them tearing him apart." She let out a few more tears, but kept going. "I heard them surround me, I told Aspen to go hide in a small cave, and I turned back to face them. I fought them off, killing all but three. But then one of them got my neck, I blacked out. I woke up in the pack house and when I asked they said Aspen was gone. I was alone, Drew had died, my baby had died, and I was alone." She looked over to me. "I met your father a year later, he was so nice to me. He made me feel again. Then we had you, and everything was perfect." She smiled slightly.

"What happened?" I asked.

"The pack found me. They thought I was dead. They needed me back to tell them what happened to Drew and our child. I had never told your father and he thought I didn't trust him. Their call made me distant. My memories started haunting me again, but this time no one could save me. I fled back to the pack, and your father... Nathan... he wouldn't come. He couldn't. His kind aren't allowed in pack territory."

"His kind?" I asked. "Pack territory. What are you talking about?"

"I'm a werewolf dear." My mom said. "Your father was a seer."

"Assuming your telling the truth. What's a seer?" I asked. Then I turned towards Victoria. "And how come your a vampire?"

"I'll tell my story when she's finished." She said giving me a small smile.

I looked at my mom expectantly, "Well, enlighten me."

"Let me call your father, it'd be better if your heard it from him." She said.

"Why?" I asked aggravated she wouldn't answer me right away.

"Because you're mad at me right now, and I suck at explaining things." She said grabbing the phone.
