Sean and Manny entered Trackers domaine. They knew it wasn't right, and he might get mad, but they needed answers. School was out, but he was still in there, with some woman.
They both turned when the two raced in, Manny panting. "Is everything okay?" Tracker asked skeptically.
Manny looked at the petite woman by Tracker, who had milk white skin, long brown hair, soft features and caring eyes as they looked back at Manny. "W-we need help." she finally said, guiding Sean over.
Manny couldn't stop looking at the woman, there was something familiar about her hazel eyes.
The woman looked away, as if she knew Manny was trying to figure her out. "Maybe I should go." she said.
"No Christine, stay." Tracker insisted. He crossed his arms and turned back to them. "What is it?"
"We summoned somebody."
Trackers eyes widened and Sean rolled his eyes to Manny's burst of honesty. "Are you mad?" Tracker yelled at them. "Who? Who did you summon?" he rolled his own eyes now.
"Annabell." Manny answered, "From the original witch line, Elaines daughter."
Now the woman beside Tracker didn't look so sweet, and her fires blazed angrily, stepping closer to Manny. "Why in the hell would you do a stupid thing like that?"
"We needed to." Manny squeeked, "Something wierd is going on."
"Weird like what?" Tracker asked, pausing to put a hand on Christines shoulder to hold her back. "What's going on?"
"Emma," Manny heard Sean growl. He probably didn't want them to know EVERYTHING but Manny felt like she could trust them. "She's really powerful, and shes been going through these wierd things, like not even being able to go near vampires o-or-"
"What?" Both Christine and Tracker asked.
Sean nodded and added, "It causes her pain."
Both Tracker and Christine looked at another horrified. Manny stomped her foot after glaring between them, "Tell us what you know! I know you know something!"
Christine looked down, staying quiet but Tracker cleared his throat, looking rather worried, "If what you're saying is true, that's an effect only a descendent from the original line of witches can have."
Sean's eyes widened back to Manny's, "Emma's an original."
"Where is she?" Christine asked and Manny went to run off.
"Come on!" Manny told Sean, trying to grab his arm but someone grabbed hers, tightly. Christine. Manny gasped and then more of a sharp breath sucked in when her eyes went white, and a vision came to her.
CHRISTINES FLASHBACK THAT MANNY CAN SEE:
Manny stood outside what seemed like an old court house, it seemed to be around the mid 1930s' by how the people looked walking by. The gentlemen had top hats, mustaches, and the women in flappers or tight dresses. Their hair was in pincurls, or pinned up with victory rolls.
There was an old car that she knew was a Buick Eight, an old elegant car with white tires hung on the sides of it. Damn Jay for making Manny know that. She then gasped, jumping back when Christine ran by her, up the stairs at the back of the courthouse. Manny chased after her.
It was in black and white, it was like watching a movie but was someones memory. Christines memory. She had run through an empty courtoom, to the cells in the back.
"You can't be here!" a man in front of the prison bars yelled at the mystery woman that was Christine.
A man with copper hair, who was tall, very tall, was staring down wide eyed at Christine through behind the prison bars. He had chains around his wrists, in a white and black prison suit. Wow, these were really the old days
"Clarissa." he breathed, "You're alive."
Manny watched as he slipped his hand through the bars to hold hers, who he had called Clarissa. But it was Christine.
"Oh Snake." she sobbed, "I'm so sorry they did this to you."
"It's okay, what's important is they believe it, and you're no longer a threat. They can't know you're alive, or Rebecca."
Christine nodded in agreement, "My mother can't know."
"I think she's coming for me." Snake said, swallowing the pain and worry down in his throat, "She's haunting my dreams, she thinks I really killed you. I can feel her coming. Go. GO!"
END OF FLASHBACK.
Christine looked horrified, ripping her arm off Manny, "Seer." she hadn't known she was one, but the girl had pulled out her deepest darkest memory.
Manny looked at her more petrified though, glancing at Tracker and back at Christine, backing up. "You're.."
Sean looked puzzled, looking between the scene "Manny?"
"You're supposed to be dead." she told Christine, or 'Clarrisa'. She was Rebecca's daughter . The supposed dead one who had been 'murdered', who had ended the witch line of originals. "You're supposed to be dead!" she whipped her head around to Sean, "She's an original, she's not Christine, she's Clarissa!"
Tracker looked to Christine, mouth dropped and Christine looked back at Manny, "Get her!" Manny yelped when Tracker shot out, his arm grabbing hers until he yelled in pain when Sean grabbed his elbow and nearly cracked it.
Trackers eyes widened to the fangs that grew in Sean's teeth and Christine to gasped in sharply.
"RUN!" he told Manny, and she did, at first struggling with the fact she was leaving him, but he'd find a way out. He was Sean Cameron.
"Vampire!" hissed Christine, angry now Manny had fled. "You don't know what you've done!" she began to circle a fireball in her hand.
Fuck.
Sean dropped Tracker, and ran to a nearby window and dodged the first fireball, which crashed it open into pieces. With that help, he jumped out.
He was gone.
Christine's mouth dropped, and turned to Tracker who held his arm in pain. "They know."
(((**))
Emma was running to the library when the one she was looking for ran right into her, "EM!" Manny looked shaken, horrified. "We need to run! GO!"
"What?" Emma shook her head, "Where? Why?"
Manny grabbed her arm and pulled her, "Just follow! Hurry! We need to go someone nobody will know where to look!"
((**))
Jay opened his door, where in the mansion a large crowd partied behind him. It was a fancy party though, a masquerade. Everyone had on pretty dresses and masks. All but Jay, who seemed to just be opening the door on his way out but stopped in his tracks, his mouth falling.
Emma and Manny stood there, panting and looking scared, and desperate.
He closed the door behind him and hissed, "You can't be here. You're walking into a party of wolves." he grabbed Manny's arm roughly, like she should know better and stop putting herself in harms way. "You know what they could do to you!?"
Manny bursted into tears, looking up at him and he softened, his face twisting in pain. What the hell had happened?
"We're in trouble." she looked back at Emma, "Bad trouble."
Emma crossed her arms, feeling cold, and colder by the thought of being scared.
((((**))))
Jay had snuck them in, leaving the party downstairs and sneaking them up to his room. He had a large room, with his own personal tv like room to the side of his bed, even a mini bar. Boy did he live the life here. Manny looked around the room with narrowed eyes.
She wondered if he shared this room with her. Alex.
Jay had went to the mini bar, he needed a drink for this. "So," he came back, holding a small glass of whiskey, two of them. He offered one to Manny, who shook her head no, and then Emma, who did the same. He shrugged, and chugged one back, then sat and sipped on the other. "The original line isn't dead, but in fact, the GRAND daughter of Elaine is in Trackers very office."
"How does he know her?" Whispered Emma, still so confused on what Manny told them.
"And you!" Jay pointed at Emma, "You're part of the descendents." he squinted his eyes at her, "So this is your fault!"
"HEY!" barked Manny at him, shutting him up but he grumbled and leaned back, finishing off that other drink.
Emma had tears in her eyes but swallowed them down. She had to be strong. "This is why I have the magic I do. The curse I do."
Manny looked up, remembering what had happened. "Christine, o-or Clarissa, or whatever the hell she calls herself now, she-she didn't look shocked that being near vampires hurt you. Sean wasn't near her, but I'm sure if he was, she'd feel it too. Tracker said something like it only happened to the Originals." she looked from Emma to Jay, "I don't know why."
"Could be a warning signal for you." Jay informed, standing up and walking around them. He grabbed his phone but added one more thing, "Elaine hated vampires when she created one, then thousands were created and I'm sure were at war with her and her kind. Maybe she casted a spell to know when she walked into one, maybe she casted a spell on all her kind so they'd know too when a vampire was near..and maybe it hurts because she wants to remind her people what a vampire once did to her so they don't forget.."
Both the girls stared at Jay, Manny panting a little still from being scared and quite possibly from her heart pounding. God, he can be so damn smart when he wanted to be.
"You're right." blinked Emma.
"We need to find out why Elaine turned a man into a vampire. We need to go to the start." Manny said.
"You won't do a damn thing." a voice nearly boomed into the room, Jay's doors slamming open and Christine and a healthy as can be Tracker, walking in.
Manny and Emma both hid by Jay when he walked to the front of them, dropping his phone. So much for giving Sean a call. Where was the vampire anyways?
"You must be Emma." the woman said, staring at the blonde with the same color eyes the blonde looked at her back with. Manny now pieced together why her eyes looked so familiar before. "You have to come with me."
"Why would I go anywhere with you?" Emma sneered, but walked in front of Jay now, no longer scared. She was sick of being magic's bitch. She looked at Tracker like she had been betrayed, and he looked down ashamed.
"We're basically family." snickered Christine, "You have no reason to be afraid."
"Emma you have to trust her." Tracker said.
"I don't know who to trust anymore." Emma sobbed a bit, shaking her head. She didn't know where Sean was either, and neither did Manny who told her he had basically saved her to let her go warn Emma. This wasn't fair!
"Emma..." Manny tried to say something.
Christine and Tracker backed up slowly until Emma finally realised her hands were like electricity shooting around in a fire ball way. She clenched her fists, but it wouldn't stop. She didn't want to hurt anyone though and looked scared. It was shooting out small firework like bullets, electricity shooting against the wall and zapping against it for a good few moments. If that hit one of them, they were dead.
"Just breath." Christine said, stepping closer.
Emma glared, but her eyes still looked worried. How could she trust this person who was suppose to be dead? Who was suppose to be family but had supposedly attacked her friends? And Sean.
Tears burned her eyes, looking down at the fire balls and then she gasped and looked back at Christine who was stepping closer. Emma bit her lip and then sucked in a breath, and tried to breath. Christine nodded, and slowly the fireball began to fade the more Emma focused on calming down and breathing.
Then, it was gone.
Tracker caught his breath, looking quite worried for a second there. Christine smiled softly though back at Emma who was proud she got it under control.
"So," Jay ofcourse cut the moment off, "We dueling or what?"
Manny rolled her eyes at him.
(((((****)))))
They sat back in Trackers office now, everyone sitting around his desk but Emma. The blonde sadly gazed over the broken glass, and broken window Sean had jumped out of.
"Where are you?..." Emma whispered.
"Guess you want to know more about everything." Christine said, crossing her legs and leaning back in her chair.
Emma turned, and went to sit at the couch beside Manny and Jay. "That would help. A lot." She noted sarcastically.
Christine took a big breath, "I was never murdered. I made my lover stage a crime scene, and ofcourse my people back then didn't know much about how a person could hold their breath back then while they tried to listen for a heart beat." she laughed, rolling her eyes.
"Why did you want everyone to think you were dead?" Emma asked.
"I was part to the first Witch's line, the first witch to be burned at the stake. Do you think nobody knew who we were?" Christine snickered, "My mother, Rebecca, she was Annabells daughter. Annabell had always hated her mother for the magic, but my mother Rebecca, she hated Annabell for not letting her use magic. She loved it. She taught me everything I knew. But she loved it more than she should of. She was addicted. Everyone was fearing us again in our new City, after how hard Annabell tried to save our name."
"Get to the point." Jay taunted.
"Need to be somewhere?" Snapped Manny back at him, he shot her a look back.
Christine went on, her eyes glued on Emma and them both ignoring the lovers quarrel. "My mother burned down our village when everyone found out again that we were witches, and she just proved their fear right, that we were scary monsters. We went to a new town, and she did it again, so the very next town, a few years later, I met, and fell in love with a man named Snake. He was normal, but there was something extraordinary about him. It was around 1932. He found out what I was, and he didn't hate me, he loved me more" she seemed to tear up, "He thought I was special."
Silence.
She finally went on, "My mother warned me to stay away, said she'd kill him if he exposed us. She was out of control."
"You were scared of your own mother." Emma said.
She nodded again, "She and Elaine were very different. Elaine was a natural, beautiful witch who didn't want to harm anybody and could control her power but nobody believed her. Rebecca wanted all the power she could and more, and she wasn't a fan of humans calling her a monster." she took a deep shakey breath," So I tried to run away, but she'd always find me, and with Snake. To the point where she almost killed him. That's when I had the idea to fake my death. Snake helped me. She found me, and thought it was the town who did it. Someone had seen Snake with me though at the time of my death and pointed fingers at him. They arrested him, and I tried to save him, but my mother got to him first, and then the town got her, burned her alive like it was the 1800's again .."
They all stared wide eyed at her.
"I'd been hiding ever since." she looked down sadly at her stomach before tapping her fingers on it, "Not before I found out I was pregnant though, and the line would keep going...the torture of our family" she said with pain in her eyes.
Emma couldn't believe this. So she was, truly, an original. "This is crazy." she whispered. Did this mean her father or mother had been the son or daughter of whoever Christine gave birth to? It was getting too confusing for Emma. Maybe she was adopted, since the parents she knew now hated her.
Christine turned to look at her again, "This vampire you keep trying to go near? Stop trying. You're not meant to be with him."
Emma could beg a differ but just snickered, shaking her head and said nothing. She couldn't even begin to explain it.
But Christine saw through her. The young girl was in love with the monster. "You can't be together. Elaine put a spell on every witch passed down before her, so they know when they crossed a vampire, and to remind them what one had once done to her so they don't ever forget we are enemies."
The girls glanced to Jay, still shocked he had guessed that one right. Emma then bitterly spat back, "I don't care how some witch got her heart broken by some guy she then turned into a vampire. They're not all the same!"
They all looked shocked she had said it, and it sounded so right. So true. Christine even stared and blinked, turning to Tracker.
"I think that's enough for tonight." Tracker said and stood up, "Emma, you need some rest."
Emma whipped the tears that tried to sting her eyes and just yanked her arm away from him touching her. Manny and Jay walked after her when she stormed out.
Christine stepped next to Tracker sadly, "She'll be okay. That was close though. They could of brought Rebecca back."
Tracker looked torn, watching Emma until out of site.
Christine patted his back. "We've done what we can for her. We should of known bringing her here would raise questions. Who knew she'd fall for some vampire though; you were suppose to keep an eye on her."
"Caitlin wanted her here." Tracker whispered, eyes down on his shoes, looking distraught.
"Ofcourse she did, my son," Christine nodded, sitting back on her chair, "She's your daughter..and Caitlin always had a problem with giving her up for her own safety."
Trackers eyes twirled with pain.
AUTHOR NOTE: OUUUU! FInally! AN UPDATE ! Sorry everyone. I get such bad writer block. But oh my! Did you think that was coming? Emma is really Tracker and Caitlins daughter, that's why Caitlin was the one to bring her here and thats why Trackers always had a close bond to her and knew she had more power than most students. And Tracker is Christines son; before you ask how that's possible, the originals can immortalize themselves; hense why Christine is still alive and how Tracker is too since Christine was born somewhere before 1920's. She immortalized herself, then Tracker when he was around 28. Read on to find out, how, when and why!
