Chapter One

The pain was like nothing I ever felt before, in my entire life. The fire that was engulfing the astral chains went right into my veins and made my blood boil in pain. It felt like my chest would implode on itself as if I was suffering from a heart attack. Every vein was on fire and hurt so badly I really thought I was going to die. 

The last thing I remembered, was the pain before everything turned black. I did not scream, I did not make any sound other than a groan. 

When I came to be, I looked at my cellphone's screen and saw that I had been out for 3 hours now. I then remembered what happened before I fainted. 

Two chains stayed. Which means, it wasn't only me and my parent's blood. Two other people were involved in the sealing ceremony.

Ugh, for fuck sake!

But, the fact that I remembered that name specifically while trying to undo a spell might be a clue in itself.

It probably means Klaus participated in the ritual with someone else I know nothing about.

It meant I needed to find a way to contact Klaus and ask him what kind of relationship he has with my family, my mother, to be exact.

And let's just hope no one noticed I was gone, otherwise, I'll be scolded. There's no way in hell no one noticed I was gone for a few hours.

Hell, if I'm lucky, only Derek is up. Sophie will try to diffuse any tension or scolding without revealing a thing, as she knew about the ritual tonight.

Anyway, no use worrying. Who would be the fifth person who participated in the sealing ritual? It must have been someone my family, my father, and my mother trusted above anyone else. To partake in such a thing requires a high level of trust from my parents.

Most likely some supernatural being, as I was left with only two blood vials. Either immortal or extremely hard to kill.
Mom should be smart enough to realize that if everyone is mortal, that there could be a chance for me to die as everyone else could be dead.

Then I would be in pain until the day I die. Which would suck, mind you.

Or maybe, if I'm lucky enough, I could lead a peaceful and normal life?

Perish the thought. Me having a normal life?

I wish.

I really wish.

Every fucking book I've ever read always were like, that girl is different, she likes to be different, or feel as if they don't belong and want to be different than they are than the majority is.

Hell, most of the time, I want to be like other girls. A girl who isn't constantly in pain, who doesn't hear any voices. A girl who hasn't learned she's a witch with a curse aka sealing spell killing her.

I mean who wouldn't want to be like everybody else? Normal.

Not like me, who thought I was insane for a long while.

Anyway, enough thinking about me and my fate. I needed to find a way to get that man's, Klaus, blood.

          Once I got to my house, I looked to the tree next to my window, but from the looks of it, it was easier to get down from it than going up the tree, as there are no lower branches low enough to catch with my hands. So, I had to go through the main door, with my key, hoping no sounds comes from it. Or I'd get the scolding of my life. Either by Dominic or by my idiotic twin brother. 

At least he's my dumbass of a twin brother. 

After taking a deep breath, I unlocked the door and went inside. As expected, since this was the middle of the night, it was dark inside, no lights out. Then, a light went up from my side and I almost jumped out of my skin. I felt like I was having a heart attack. 

And murderous, as the one who lightened up the lower floor of the house near the entrance was no one else but my own brother. Talk about the devil, or in this case, think, as my brother sat on a sofa, next to a night table with a lamp on it. 

How cliché can he get?

I really, but really wanted to beat him up with something. 

Alas, I had nothing close to me other than sofa cushions. I grabbed one and hit him in the face. 

" What the hell?" He hissed, as he rubbed the palm of his hand on his eyes. 

" You almost gave me a heart attack. " I said, as I hit him again. 

" Well, I wouldn't have given you a heart attack if you were in your room like you should be. I almost went out to look for you!" He hissed even louder and I narrowed my eyes in annoyance. 

What, did he want to wake up the whole house?! Real genius.

" Could you just lower your voice like a normal person?" I whispered while closing the door behind me, making sure no noise came from the gesture. 

"  How am I supposed to act like a completely normal person if you went out in the middle of the night? What if something happened to you, again? I swear ever since we came to this godforsaken place, so many things happened. Two times, things happened to you, once when you went out in the middle of the night, and a second time when you decided to follow Bella wherever she went after she was angry."

When those words left his mouth, an incredibly deep feeling of guilt overtook me. He was right, I was in the wrong, kinda, as Sophia knew what I was doing tonight. 

Yeah, I was outside, in the middle of the night, but what was Derek doing? He's wearing a tank top, a little bit of dirt here and there, and the sneakers he probably wore are full of dirt. I clearly wasn't the only one out tonight. I can understand how he feels, but he shouldn't be angry I'm outside if he did the same thing. 

Talk about hypocrisy.

And now that I had focused on myself, mostly, I could now dedicate my time to finding out what really happened to my brother.
