a glamour to prove it to him. I looked at Anita, studying her. I grabbed my waist length, wavy, nearly black brown, soft hair into my hands and slid my hands down its length. The color lightened to a mahogany with lighter caramel streaks. My waves straightened out, and the length contracted to the middle of my back. I waved my hand in front of my face, and my tan colored skin lightened to Anita’s unearthly golden porcelain color. My full lips and angular cheekbones that indicated my Native American heritage softened and reflected the delicate features of her Hispanic heritage. I wrapped my arms around myself, and shrank down to match her petite five foot two frame rather than my average five foot five.
I walked over to Anita, who now looked like my twin and she smiled. “Cool!” she squealed with excitement. I turned to Finn and spoke in a voice that was still my own. “Not a prank. I know the world is different than you thought it was, but you still have a place in it. Maybe even a bigger role than you ever dreamed for yourself.” Finn turned to Dean and asked, “You aren’t going to turn into a cougar now are you?” Dean laughed. “No, I don’t think you guys want to see me take my clothes off.”
“I think I need to sit down,” Finn said. Outside clouds began to gather, marring the perfectly clear sky from moments before. I shook off the glamour, and went back to looking like myself. I guess I had no choice but to press on. “I don’t know how to do this. To tell you gently so I won’t rip the ground out from under you. You wanted to know what my mother said, right?” Finn nodded yes. “Alright, here it goes, your parents are elves, very powerful elves actually. That makes you an elf as well.” “Really? I thought it made me a dog. Sorry, this is all too much,” Finn said, and let his head drop into his hands.
I took a deep breath, and continued. “I know, and I am sorry for that. I am even more sorry because there is more I have to tell you. It sounds like your parents might have been taken.” Finn’s head shot up, “Was there a ransom note or something?” I shook my head no, “No she didn’t really say anything, but she seemed worried when I said you hadn’t heard from them. I could tell there is something bad going on, because she said there were others that have lost touch recently too. I asked my mother to search for them; right now she is the strongest witch alive, and the best one to search for them. I know you might not feel like doing me any favors, but I have to ask you to do something for me. Please, don’t go running off by yourself. I have been doing some research, and nothing I have found looks good.”
Anita cleared her throat, “What research? When did you figure all of this out?” “I have been studying during my long break between classes each day. Look, there wasn’t anything to mention. I started just trying to get caught up on my supernatural history, and find anything that would motivate vampires to openly challenge us. I didn’t know supernaturals were missing too. This has happened before according to the histories, but only when one group is trying to start a war.
Your parents are very powerful elves and it makes them a threat. My mother mentioned others missing too, my guess would be other powerful members of the Council . Elves are extremely powerful supernatural beings already, so the most powerful elves are quite formidable. The vampires, and their allies would try to remove their biggest threats while they had the element of surprise. I hope you know it isn’t always war and blood in our world, but between human’s prejudice and power-mad members of the supernatural world it is always best to watch your back. Anything you need, we are here. Anita, Dean and I have been learning to deal with this for a year.”
Finn threw his hands in the air, “Anita too? What are you
