Carolyn's pov:-
Even though I didn't understand the ancient greek they were saying - no, chanting- I am not numb to not understand that it was a mantra.
From what I assume, it was ancient greek and I heard 'vampires', so it is probably some mantra about or for vampires.....
Suddenly, the Ross-Kennedy family's elders came in. Everyone stood up but didn't stop chanting. One of the elders put up a hand and everyone stopped the chanting.
If I wasn't wrong, that was Cen Kolya Ross. He was the head of our family, along with his wife, Varina Rin Kennedy.
Now I understand why my family only got involved with the Kennedy family.
Because they didn't want to be involved with anyone who is not a vampire.
The Ross' and Kennedys were the only vampires our family could find. The eldest members of the Kennedy family were Grandma Varina and her younger sisters. Grandma Varina and Grandpa Kolya is Nicholas' grandparents. My grandparents were the youngest.
I wanted to go and hug my grandparents who were standing in the group of the elders, but I don't think now is the time to...
The eldest cleared his throat and motioned everyone to sit down and turned to us.
We both stood up again and a sly smile appeared on his face then it returned to his serious face again.
He had been the fun, loving grandpa who used to tell me and my cousins and not really cousins bed time stories when we were still learning the alphabets. But time passed by quick. But he looked like that young man that was pushing 30, so did my other grandparents. He never actually stopped telling us stories.
He told us stories at the time we were learning alphabets, at the time we were learning algebra, and at the time we were learning arithmetics. To be honest, he was the best grandparent, even though Nicholas and Nicole are his only 2 actual grandkids, he saw all of us as his own. If vampires dont die.....my "dead" great-grandparents are in here. My entire ancestry was in this vampire world.....
Oh My! They faked their deaths and came here!
The eldest started speaking and we both got a little started by his voice. So serious!
Chill grandpa!
"You both have graduated high school, and I hope you both know about our Vrykolakas clan. Before you both go away for college, you both will be given training on - how to use your powers, how to deal with the sunlight, how to hide your fangs, and so on. It does include learning ancient greek." He said.
God, I can't learn anymore.
"Now that you guys have entered this realm- The Land of the Vrykolakas. Your vampire genetics will start to show. For example- fangs, fragile when exposed to the sun, thirst for blood and immensely pale skin." He went on.
"Tonight you will be given a task, you are obliged to finish them after you finish your training. And also, your ancestors are here, they faked their deaths and decided to spend the rest of their immortal life in the realm of us vampires. Also the mantras we chant are supposed to be by-hearted. Don't worry, since you guys are vampires, you guys will learn it pretty quick." He finished and started chanting again, but this time the words were different than the other mantra and they were screaming those words. The echoes of their screams filled the room. Me and Polly looked at eachother. Fear was clear in both of our eyes. Suddenly, I started feeling changes in our body. My eyes darted back to Polly. She was also transforming!
I felt two of my teeth turning into sharp fangs. My hands turned pale white, so did my entire body. I took a glance at Polly, she was also having changes in her body, same as mine.
I felt an excruciating pain in my body and fell off from the chair. Polly also fell down from her chair. The pain was too much to handle that we weren't even able to scream. I sobbed and no sound came out.
I felt my eyes threatening to close any moment. Was this really the end? I just got into my dream university and my life is putting a full stop here?
My eyes shut and I fell into a deep sleep.
Maybe this was really the end.
Paulina's pov:-
Carol and I fell of from the chair at the same time and I saw tears falling from her eyes.
Tears blurred my vision and I stretched my hand towards Carol.
My eyelids grew heavy and I felt my eyes slowly closing.
I didn't fight it.
Before my eyes shut completely, I saw Carol's eyes cease blinking.
My eyes shut.
I guess this is it. The end of mine.
Nicholas' pov:-
Carol and Polly's eyes shut and I couldn't help but worry for my cousin Polly and distant cousin Carol.
Even though we grew up fighting non-stop, they were still my family.
I know they will be okay but I have once also went through the vampire mantra transition.
I felt someone watching us through the door, so I glanced at the door and saw a mysterious black figure holding a stick. I saw its eyes wandering through the room. I followed its eyes and saw it staring at a cabinet in the north-east corner of the room.
SHIT! That is the vampire turning formula.
A teeny-tiny drop of it and a normal being or any other creature can be turned into a blood-thirsty vampire.
However, only the eldest vampires - the first vampires of the Ross-Kennedy family has the cabinet's key.
But no one knows where they live. This realm can go on for thousands of miles. No one has ever found them. The chosen one have not yet arrived.
I felt the dark figure's eyes on me and turned to face it.
The dark figure suddenly locked eye with mine.
I quickly looked away and the figure ran away.
I thought about chasing after it, but the chanting was still going on.
