Kendall's POV;

We leave today. Back to america and back to my fake life as Alison Daily. I am disappointed i have to return to that life. Not just the life of Alison Daily but the life of She-Devil. This trip back to Russia has been the most relaxed and free i have ever felt. And has been the most time me and Jer have had spent together. I feel we have really bonded over the past few days.

I felt like I could breathe again. Like my world of secrets, hunting, and missions just stopped. It was nice while it lasted. Now to face my reality again and return to the life i signed away.

"Ken" i hear a knock at the door. I look up from packing my bags to see my sister. She has already put on her ritual clothing and i see she holds mine in her other hand.

We need to perform a ritual to find my mothers long lost grimoires and perhaps some more family air-looms with some type of magical help. Taking down two strong asshole relatives isn't going to be easy.

The downside about all of this is we have to be careful, for family grimoires are usually protected my ancestral magic. I am honestly not in the mood to deal with some angry dead relatives.

"Thanks" i reach out as she walks in and hands me the thin white clothing.

"Remember don't stain it, or get any substance on it that would mess up the ritual" she reminds me. I nod and decide to place the clothing on the dresser away from my coffee.

"I have completed the markings and have gathered all of the materials." i tell my sister. She nods and heads towards the door again.

"I also have mothers ritual knife downstairs. That should have a better connection than our own" and with that being said, she disappears from my sight.

I pack the last of my things and get ready for my bath before i get ready for the ritual that will take place in a few hours.

I almost forget that it is just past midnight.

May this night be over with quick.

After my bath i change into the long over-sized clothing. I stare at myself for a moment as i take in my appearance.

I have never worn a robe or anything traditional when doing magic. It feels odd but it for some weird reason makes me feel closer to my mother.

I tie my hair up out of my face and make my way downstairs then to the basement. When i open the basement door I am met with the golden glow of the candlelight dancing across the shadows.

"You ready?" my sister asks stepping into the golden glow from the darkness. I bite my lip and nod. I give my sister a look causing her to frown.

"whats wrong?" she asks. I firstly close the basement door and mumble a sound proof spell for the room.

"I need you to do something for me. Something that can not ever be spoken about outside of this room. No one can know" I ask of her. I close my eyes and sigh rubbing my temple. i can feel her concern and worry in seconds.

"oh my god" she says in shock. i send her a 'what the fuck?' look. "are you going to ask me to dump Jeremy?" She whisper exclaims.

"What? no! I need you to activate my vampire gene." i tell her. Kath's eyes go wide.

"what?! absolutely not! what if you go on a ripper spree and kill us all!?" she exclaims. I roll my eyes.

"i will be a hybrid Kath. I am able to survive mostly on normal food but i have to feed at least twice a month to stay alive. Hybrids also have much better self-control, i will be able to turn into my wolf and back to human as i please without the years of training! think of it as an upgrade?" i attempt to persuade her.
