about me, about who I am,” she tilts her head up slightly to look in his eyes. “Okay, well let’s all sit down. Sophia knows everything, but we want Nate to hear the details too. He knows the basics already. It all involves Sophia as well,” Ebony begins to explain.
“ I thought you two just met?” Matt asks.
“ We did. But our families have a history,” she confirms.
“ Are you two related?”
“ No. But I’ll explain everything” she insists.
Listening to everything happening, I walk in to the kitchen to get drinks for everyone, and then take my seat next to Nathanial after ensuring everyone has a beverage. “Okay, now that everyone is here I’ll begin, Sophia please jump in at any time,” Ebony suggests, almost pleading with a shaky voice.
“ Only if you need me too…this is your story,” I reply.
“ I really don’t know where to begin,” Ebony admits as she nervously twirls her hair between her fingers.
“ Just start at the beginning and don’t be so nervous,” Matt encourages.
Ebony switches from twirling her hair to fiddling with the necklace she is wearing as she sits at the head of the family room across from Matt. I don’t ever remember seeing anyone this nervous before, and then I remember when I told Nathanial about my secret, and realize I know exactly how she feels.
“ Well I guess a brief history on my family is in order. My family originated in Salem many years ago. My ancestors were witches here in the 1600’s. In the early 1900’s my great grandmother was one of the most powerful witches around, along with my Grams who was just a young girl at the time. The two of them would help the immortals in need; ones that had kind souls and meant no harm to the mortals. These immortals are called vampires .” She pauses to gauge Matt’s reaction.
He is extremely calm and only trying to see Nathanial’s and my reaction, to his surprise we are equally as calm and just watching him.
Ebony continues, “When my sister and I were born it was a magical event within the community; two witches from a strong family heritage of powerful witches . When I turned sixteen, I began to notice changes within myself. I would think of something and it would slowly move toward me. I realized I am telekinetic; I can move things with my mind. My sister has powers too. Now that we are both of age within the witch community, we are considered The Magnificent Ones, the most powerful of all witches in the world. That is what happened that day at school with Mel, when the two of us were arguing by the lockers and everything flew open.” She stops again to see how Matt is handling the new information. “You seem so calm, is everything okay?” she questions.
“ Honestly, I am just trying not to laugh,” he replies.
“ What? This is no joke!”
“ No…no, that’s not what I mean. I am all too familiar with the supernatural. I believe you…I have even heard of you and your sister. I just never knew it was you,” h e explains. “I guess I should have figured it out that day at school with Mel. I realized then you had powers, I just never put the pieces together. I mean, I assumed you were a witch , but you being one of The Magnificent Ones never crossed my mind.”
“ Really? What do you mean by familiar?” Ebony asks.
“ Well, let’s just say I have a family history too,” Matt smiles.
“ Okay…I guess I’ll explain a little more and then you can explain to me?” Ebony suggests.
“ Sounds good to me,” Matt agrees.
“ I really only found out about this around the same time as my incident with Mel–before that I thought it was nothing more than stories. Since then I’ve been working to improve my skills and powers. I have been learning spells and how to make potions. My sister and I are getting pretty good at it too,” she boasts with a hint of pride.
“ Now you say you are familiar with the supernatural, but is it just witches or do you know about other supernatural
