The Elemental: My Burning Legacy

Chapter 3

I cut him off and blurted out, "Oh I know this one! Sparkle in the sun or turn into dust from the sun." I tried hard not to laugh. He's seriously expecting me to believe that the supernatural are real. Maybe he's a fan of that show, Supernatural and because of the show believes in it? I think I should call a shrink.

"Actually, both no. Don't believe everything you read from books or movies," knowing where I got the reference from. "Though, the Sun does weaken them, it does not kill them. The older they are and I mean older such as thousands year olds, are stronger compared to the ones younger than them. They are immortal though. Before you ask about a steak through the heart, anyone could die being stabbed in the heart. And no, garlic does not kill them. Though holy water can hurt them a lot or even kill them depending on the age. Fire can kill them as well. Crosses does not affect them. They can turn others from draining their blood and than giving them theirs, though if they don't drain their blood, their blood can heal them with most damage. Vampires can be killed from decapitation though like most anything. Now, vampires do have their own sacred councils, different types of course but not all vampires follow through them. They do not require to be part of the councils, it is only for vampires that want to live civil. For those who are and do commit crimes, the council will punish them to what seems fit, if they can get to them. They do have their own court and like humans, 'innocent until proven guilty' rule and they do have a jury that will decide or the judge itself will determine but that differs. I am not sure how that really goes as I do not know much of the vampire laws. I am not saying they can be trustworthy because due to their immortality, they do not age within looks and will look young from when they turn and do have a glamour that makes them look at that age. They do feed on human blood but cannot kill them. They do put humans under a "spell" thus controlling them. Not sure how long it can last though but does determine how old the vampire is. For Werewolves, when first born, they do shift under a full moon but that doesn't start until he or she turns sixteen. Eventually once they learn how to control it, they can shift whenever they want and no longer turn on a full moon unless they do it at will. Only way they can become one is either through birth, bitten, or a deep scratch mark from their claws. They are one of the civil supernaturals and live a good life. They are not immortal but do age slowly. They can be killed through Wolfsbane, silver bullet in the heart or head, or decapitation. They also have their own clans but they tend to be civil towards others unless threatened." Stefan explained and waited for me to speak.

"Wow." I tried to withhold a laugh but highly failed. "I can't believe you're telling me that the supernatural exists. Literary best laugh throughout the night. Sure, I believe in spirits but vampires, faeries, and werewolves? Come on." I finished. I waited for him to tell me that this was just bullshit but after what felt like a minute, I realized he was not going to tell me that this was a joke. That there are no cameras hidden and that he is a host of a reality TV show that pull pranks on others. "Wait...you're serious? Please tell me you are not serious." I pleaded. This can not be happening.

"This is very serious." He said with a straight face. He scanned my face to see if I actually believed him but he couldn't get pass my poker face.

"Let's just say for shits that what you're talking about does exist, what does this have to do with my family?" I questioned.

"From the crimes that happened at your house, those were no human acts. It was a supernatural act. Your family are supernatural. They work with an organization that helps the supernatural world work civilized with the human world. Find others that commit crimes and arrest them in a way and eventually send them back to their courts that they belong to. If they do not belong to them, we hold them captive and find a way of what to do with them. Depending on their crimes, they can be released or workout a way, as in joining our team. Joining our team requires schooling and upon completion, join the forces." Stefan explained. "Depending on the crime, they could be executed or locked up for life."
