Chapter EIGHT

“You two girls are a very important part of this war,” Tahliana begins. She has already confirmed Annalise's vision, and I have a feeling this is only the beginning. “The treaty was more than just a treaty. The war isn't just between the vampires and the wolves. Your parents found that blood magic had been used in the war by one of the covens. I'm sure we can all guess which one that was.” She pauses, sighing before taking a sip from her glass.

I look over at Annalise. Her eyebrows are knitted together and she’s looking at me. Yep, and that confirms the second theory. I hadn't thought it played a part in the treaty. I was so young and knew only a little, mostly from listening at the door of our parent's office.

“The treaty was supposed to be the three races coming together to stop the Ehys coven. Only it turns out we had a snitch, Mildred found out and, well, we know what happened next.”

Everything Tahliana says is the truth. She has dark lines through her aura, but so do I, so I can't judge her on that part. She hasn't explained how she survived, though. From what we knew, no one did. Before I can ask her about it, she continues.

“Your parents, they had a plan if things didn't go right.” She stops, sighing again, a sad, soft smile showing on her lips. “Girls, you should know how your birth was stronger than that of most ordinary witches. You're both much stronger than you could ever imagine. Do you know what happens when a coven doesn't have a sacred place where the coven’s magic can form its blanket?”

Annalise and I shake our heads. I honestly hadn't thought much about it.

“It has to go somewhere. You see, it went into the only living members of the coven. You two.” Tahliana leans back in her chair, bringing up her legs and crossing them. She doesn't say anything else, just lets her words sink in.

That couldn't be. If we had our covens, we would be a lot stronger. I mean, we’re stronger than most, but nothing crazy. If we were, I was pretty sure we wouldn't still be running.

Tahliana gives us a few more moments, Annalise won't ask any questions yet. She always wants to get the whole story before she asks questions or passes judgement.

Tahliana continues. “I was there. At the treaty, I was the head vampire, signing for the other vampires. Your parents…I think they knew something was about to happen before it did. Before I could figure out what was going to happen, they had placed a ward around me and my coven. They didn't have time to protect anyone else. I’m sorry. I tried to get through to help. You don't know how hard I tried. The last words your mother said were to protect her daughters. She opened a portal directly to your home. You were already gone and I knew you were safe with the state of the house.
