"So, your mother, fascinated with ancient mythology, am i correct?" Jonah said as he and Tate sat down on one of the couches.

"Yes, you would be correct" i said warily as to why he would start the conversation out like this.

"Well the thing with you is that...you technically are, an ancient myth..."

I sat up straighter in my seat and looked up at Corbyn whose eyes kept moving back and fourth from me to Jonah.

"W-what do you mean? Ancient myth, what are you talking about?" My voice shook a bit.

I felt Corbyn put his hand over mine and i looked up at him.

"Calm down" he said and i took a deep breath.

"Listen, you can do things, you are so much more powerful than you think you are and your mom knew it, she knew what you are" Jonah said.

"The myth talks about an ancient people, these people had uncanny abilities, and what they all had in common, was that mark on your wrist" Jonah said.

I looked down at the tattoo on my wrist, i cant even think at this point, if i can do things why haven't i been able to all these years?

"They were known as The Gifted" Corbyn said and i looked up at him.

"Why are they just a myth?" I asked.

"Because when they were alive, thousands of years ago, the Council wanted to use their power, and soon the gifted people had died off becauseof it" Jonah said as he began to pace a bit infront of us.

"And Jessie, Emma and Andre were that council, they have been alive since the supernatural was even discovered" He continued.

"We got rid of them a few years ago, got them to leave, but now their back and clearly they came back for you" Corbyn said.

"But if the Gifted died out then why do i have this mark?" I asked.

"Because in the myth it tells that there will be another gifted, no matter a boy or a girl, would be born with the mark in the future" Jonah told me.

"Oh..." i brought my legs to my chest, feeling greatly overwhelmed by all of the sudden information.

Vampire's are out to get me, apparently i am The Gifted, but why haven't i been able to use what i can do?

"Why cant i do anything though?" I asked.

"Acually" Corbyn said, drawing the attention to him "you already have".

"Remember when you told me in the car how you escaped that werewolf by hitting his chest?" Corbyn asked and i nodded.

"Evie was attacked when she was thirteen and she hit his chest, causing him to fly off of her" Corbyn told everyone.

"And there's one more time..." Corbyn paused and i looked at him confused.

"But that was the only time..." i said.

"No, it wasn't" Corbyn cut me off, "last night, when you had your nightmare, you made the night light flicker and all the objects in your room hover".

"It must be because her birthday is coming up...its starting to wear off..." Jonah trailed off.

"Wear off? Whats wearing off?" I asked.

"When you were a baby, your mother wanted nothing more than to protect you, she new that if you were using you abilities you would be found" Jonah started.

"She went to a witch, asking her to put a spell on you, so that untill your twentieth birthday, you could not use your powers" Jonah said, connecting the dots in my head.
