forces as well?” Ebony wonders.
    He replies with a smirk on his face, “Well let’s just say that not too much would surprise me.”
    “ Okay, well do you believe in vampires ? Because I happen to know for a fact, that they do exist.”
    “ I’m aware of them, but don’t have much extra information on them. What I know is not much more than what you can get off the Internet,” he admits.
    “ Okay, well then I guess I can continue,” Ebony says, still shaking with nervousness.
    “ Now some of the other things that have been happening in Wenham are that vampires have returned; the ones that are here are kind, good spirited and feed only on animals or donated blood. The bad news is that the evil vampires are heading this way; they believe that our area is rich in powers, and they are right. This is creating an inevitable supernatural war. The evil vampires that are called the ‘Cerberus’ should arrive here in days, and the leaders of the civilized vampires , the ‘Renata’, are tracking them here,” she tries to explain.
    “ How is it you know so much about vampires ? Is it because of your family history?” Matt inquires.
    “ Sort of–the reason I know so much is because I know the vampires that live here,” she confesses.
    “ Who? Do I know them?” he asks.
    “ May I interrupt?” I request.
    “ Please do,” Ebony insists, with a sense of relief.
    “ It’s not safe for mortals to know about vampires . Only a few know they really exist and those are only the most trust worthy people. With that said, the vampires she is referring to are my family. All eight of us are vampires . We have not harmed humans in over 80 years. It’s been difficult at times, but we all help one another to stay true to our beliefs,” I confess as Nathanial holds my hand supportively.
    “ Okay…and Nate, you know all this?” Matt asks, surprised by this revelation.
    “ I do, I know everything. Sophia saved my life the day of the attack in the park. If it was not for her healing me, I would be dead. Her family’s like heroes to me,” Nathanial declares.
    “ I understand your family is very amazing. I assume you will all be involved in this war with the Cerberus?” Matt seems to be sucking up; I can sense his heart rate increasing with the new revelation.
    “ First off, Matt I don’t want you to worry; we are still the same people you have hung out with for months, just with a little history. Even if you can’t accept this, you are safe. We only ask that you keep this a secret. Secondly, my family will be the main players in the war. With Ebony and her family, we should be successful,” I explain.
    “ Not a problem; I think we all have secrets in this room that will need to be kept. Maybe it’s time for me to share mine. Maybe then you will be able to calm down Ebony.” Matt goes to sit next to her and holds her hand.
    “ Sure, but I bet it’s not as surprising as mine or Sophia’s news,” Ebony nervously laughs.
    “ I’ll take that bet,” he chuckles. “Well, just as your families have history, mine does as well. The thing is, Ebony, it ties in with yours. Have you learned about ‘ guardians ’ yet?” Matt asks.
    “ Yeah, a little bit. A guardian is kind of angel that helps and leads witches to protect mortals from evil,” Ebony shares.
    “ Yeah that’s right. But did you know that they are chosen even before death, actually from the day they are born if not before? Guardians are trained and prepared for their afterlife. It is similar to witches –you are born to it and it is passed down through the generations.”
    “ No, that I didn’t know.” Ebony seems surprised that Matt knows so much about guardians ; she sits and listens intently with her deep brown eyes wide on Matt.
    “ The reason I know this is because my great grandfather was a guardian , and he has now joined The Great Ones. I’m also chosen to be one. I’ve been training from a young age, learning the history of witches ,
