When text is like this "............" it means they are using sign language. :) I know you shouldn't have two POV in one chapter but if I separate this two the chapters will be very short. Don't worry it is the only one with two POV. :)

POV John

.................

I sensed light caressing my face, the touch of the warm light made me dizzy. My wounds weren't enough healed to resist the sun. I opened my eyes and looked towards the warm yellow light that came from the door. I thought I closed it?

I raised myself up. I could see the scars on my body, those damn spikes almost killed me and then Miss Alexandra made half of the building explode. A shade of white and black surrounded her before compressing together and then the last thing I felt was being thrown away against the surrounding trees.

I hope I can find out who she is before Father Thomas comes back. If he was taunting us instead of killing, there must have been a reason for that. Someone higher than him wanted to test Miss Alexandra. I touched my scars.

"These scars are healing too slowly."I exasperated. I just couldn't understand what had happened?

I put myself back on the bed to sleep, hoping my wounds would heal more. Falling into a big slumber, I could hear my little sister the first time we met.

"Sir Thorn," looking up I saw a black girl around my age next to her mother. She was hiding behind her. Long curly brown hair matching perfectly with her clear marron eyes.

"What, is it Matthews?" my father asked him looking up from his book.

"Your two new slaves arrived, sir," Matthew bowed his head in submission.

"Fabulous, let us see the merchandise, shall we?" My father moved near the two slaves. He touched the mother to see if everything was right and asked her if she spoke English. The mother bowed her head. I could sense her fear and sadness.

"Son," I looked towards him, he slightly moved his palm so I would come closer.

"Father, why do we need more slaves?" I asked doubtful that we needed more.

"Well, your mother needs help with you and your little sister. So that is why we need more," He smiled towards me, continuing talking.

"I hope you also do more than just taking care of my children," my father touched her face and smiled. She understood what he meant looking down although I didn't understand.

That night I heard someone knocking on my father's library door. I should have been sleeping but I couldn't with the heavy rain outside. I stood up and opened my door, carefully moving towards his library. I peeked inside expecting my mother being with my father, but I saw in horror how my father was touching the new woman.

He saw me! Pushing the women away, he ran towards me, I tried to go back to my room, but he caught me, turning me around and slapped me, screaming "Don't tell your mother!"

I opened my eyes again. I sensed a presence next to me.

"Thinking again of the past weren't we John," I heard a calm voice telling me.

I looked to my right and there she was my little sister Kayla, her long curly hair matched her clear brown eyes, still so perfect.

"How do you know, Kayla?" I looked at her suspiciously.

"Just a guess you seemed distressed," she was looking up, but I could see in her eyes that she knew which moment I was thinking of.

She gazed around before looking at me and smiling "You should try to forget that, John. It was over 300 years ago."

"I do know that, but I cannot forget it, it was the moment I saw how horrible we were." She didn't say anything, just looked at me and walked out of the room.

Although after my transformation I became a monster. I shouldn't be so hard on myself or should I? So many questions on my mind, I would wish to die sometimes.

POV...Kayla...

I should have said something to him, I always tell him to forget our past, but I can't, how should he?

I was sitting on the couch waiting for John to come out. I heard steps from upstairs. Turning around I saw Senja coming down. She used sign language to say hello. I went towards her and hugged her, she pushed me back.

"I see you still don't like hugs," I teased her in sign language.

She smiled and asked me if I wanted to drink something.

"Well, do you have blood?" looking hopeful, I didn't drink blood since quite some time.

She went immediately to the kitchen when she came back, she had a wine glass full of blood with a bit of cinnamon on top.

"You remembered I like my blood with cinnamon, gives an extra touch of sweetness to it."

I took the glass and the moment it touched my lips, I was in a trance-like moment. It is so great that she works in a hospital.

I heard a door opening behind me. John came out of the room just in his black boxers.

I saw as Senja was looking at him from head to toe.

"Sweety, he is out of your reach." I laughed when she poured her tongue out.

"I know that!" she signed quite angry.

"You both do know I can read sign language?"

"Yes we do, still I am your sister you could at least put on some pants, no?"

"Why?"

"Is that even a question?" I looked at him like is he kidding me. I saw Senja signing something.

"You can even strip a bit more."

"Senja, are you serious?"  She just lifted her shoulders.

John went back into the room and put on some trousers and a yellow shirt.

"John, are you smelling it!" My cracking voice gasped for air.

"Yes, they surrounded the house," we looked at each other disturbed.

"Guys, I am not a bloodsucker please explain." Senja had been always so impatient."

"Werewolves, surrounded your house." I was shocked and perplexed to why the hell would they surround Senja's house. From what I know there is a truce between werewolves and witches.

"They are here for Miss Alexandra, I knew Father Thomas wasn't working alone," John exclaimed frowning.

"Who is that Alex?" I asked curiously.

"The girl that almost killed me," He said that as if it wasn't a big deal.

This guy really, he irritates me in every way. I could smell at least ten wolves surrounding us I just hope it isn't any daimon. They can hide their smell so I just hope.

"We have to protect her," John said with enthusiasm.

"First, we aren't in a movie and second of all, why should we protect her?"

"She saved me in a way."

"But you just said she almost..." he cut me in the middle and just asked me to trust him.

"Fine" Senja nodded and went upstairs to prepare some potions.

"This won't end well John, you do know that," I said worriedly.

"I do Kayla, this will end the truce between the witches and the werewolves," his face was serious and frightened of the consequences.

"Not only that John. If the nobility finds out about this attack they will retaliate against the wolfs and you remember what happened last time!" My voice was calm but my thoughts were trying to get why the hell they would even risk a war.

"I do, we almost wiped each other out of existence." His voice wouldn't let out any signal emotion but his eyes were avoiding my gaze.
