2 YEARS.

A lot can happen in two years. Everything changed for Emilia Page since she met Gloria two years ago.

Emilia did end up working at Gloria's restaurant making minimum wage. She was a great employee and didn't have to do much on a daily basis.

She ended up finishing the huge book Gloria gave her. It was long, tough, and a lot of the parts were just downright confusing. However, it introduced her to a whole new world. Emilia learned about witches, werewolves, vampires, crazy curses, and even a little bit about doppelgängers and soulmates.

Witches were a huge part of the book well because it was written by a witch. Gloria explained that the book was written by her mother almost a century ago. They can practice many different types of magic, but most always try to keep the balance by hating vampires. Gloria told Emilia that she didn't hate vampires and that she had been alive since before the 1920s. The book had many different spells that Gloria said she had used as a witch, but Gloria told her that part really wasn't important for her since she wasn't a witch. All Gloria said to remember about a witch's spell is that they always have a loophole.

Werewolves had quite a small part in the book compared to witches, but Gloria said because they were fairly simple creatures. According to the book, the werewolf curse was passed down in families and they had to kill to unleash the curse. Then, werewolves were subject to the full moon and had to endure a painful shift. They also had increased strength and speed but to the level of a vampire's. Gloria also told her that werewolves are weakened by wolfsbane and in their werewolf form have yellow eyes.

Vampires were misunderstood according to Gloria. Vampires had to feed on human blood and would burn in the sunlight. Vampires also had a weakness to a herb called vervain that prevented mind control. Vampires also had incredible speed and strength, but when hungry their eyes would turn red and veins would appear. The book also said that vampires could be killed by a stake to the heart (obviously) and a bite from a werewolf. The book also briefly mentioned original vampires who apparently were un-killable and siblings.

The book briefly mentioned a curse called the Sun and the Moon Curse. Apparently, an Aztec shaman put a curse on both vampires and werewolves making vampires slaves to the sun and werewolves slaves to the moon. However, according to Gloria, that wasn't the real curse. She said after meeting an original vampire named Klaus Mikaelson she learned the truth. The Sun and the Moon Curse didn't exist. According to Gloria, she met Klaus in the 1920s and he told her that he was a bastard child born of a werewolf bloodline. The curse kept his werewolf side from manifesting. Gloria told her that if the curse was broken he'd be a vampire and a werewolf.

Lastly, the book mentioned the tale of soulmates. It said that every witch, vampire, and werewolf had a soulmate. Sadly, there was no way to predict when you'd meet your soulmate, but according to the book when you first look into each other's eyes and touch each other, you'd just know.
