Celia Vargas pov

"Hey, I am looking for Kate Donovan, does she stay here?" I asked the women in front of me. She looked in her thirties with golden curled hairs and blue eyes and she had a mole on her right cheek. I don't remember Kate's face but I know that she had a mole on her face. My guess is that, I am in the right place.

"Yes, it's me. Who are you?" Said Kate, furrowing her eyebrows. Bingo! My lips curled into a smile.

"I am Celia Vargas, daughter of Elise Vargas. My mother was your best friend" I said. Kate looked shocked but also happy at the same. I hate dramatic meetings and people crying their eyeballs out, it's annoying.

"Oh my god, Celia! You are so grown up, I couldn't even recognise you. You grown up to a beautiful women" said Kate. I am beautiful and I know it, she should say something which I don't know about.

"Come in, would you like to have something?" Asked Kate. I enter the house and settle down on a chair. Yes, I would love to have that ancient book or whatever it is. I am guessing, that book must be something powerful. Why don't I use it for myself? I can be more powerful. I don't have to give it to that man, he will never find out about it anyway.

"No I don't want anything. It's been so long, I am just getting emotional even thinking about those days" I said. She looked like she was going to start crying. I wish I could ripp her head off. This act is getting on my nerve.

"Elise used to share everything with me and so did I, I miss her so much" said Kate. She is a liar. Kate used to flirt with my dad, I even saw them holding hands. I know it's sound very childish but I don't like Kate. She is a betrayer and the worst friend ever. I need to distract her, otherwise I would not be able to search for that book. Should I ask her about the book? Maybe not. The man told me not to trust her. I don't want any chaos right now. If I kill her, the police may come to investigate and they can get my fingerprints. But what if I use my claws? Okay, first I should try the less chaotic way then I would choose the violence path.

"I am sorry that I didn't went to see you. I should have been there for you but I didn't wanted to go back to that place, it was an eerie feeling" said Kate with teary eyes. Thankfully she was not there for me. The only thing she could do was making it worst.

"It's ok, I can understand" I said. I can understand how fucking awful person you are.

"How is David?" Asked Kate. I was waiting for that question. I thought she had my dad's number, I thought they text each other every night.

"He is doing alright. Hey could you make some pancakes for me? I loved your pancakes, they used to be so delicious" I said with a forced smile. Eww, I am not interested in eating her burn pancakes but that's the only way for me to distract her. Kate's face lights up. It's working.

"Sure! I never thought you would ask that. When you were young, you were too shy to ask me anything" said Kate. Well I am not my younger self anymore. I changed, completely. Kate get up and went to her kitchen, she told me to stay here. Great, now I just have to find her room. It'll be kinda difficult to find the book. I am not even sure if she kept the book in her room or somewhere else. That man, he told me that when I'll see the book I'll know that it's the right one. I get up and slowly walk towards the stairs. I saw three doors, one of them leads to a bathroom. The other two was bedrooms. I enter one of the bedroom. The walls were painted red, which reminds of blood. The room was unusual. It only had a cupboard, some fake plants and a table. The floor looked like a huge puzzle board with four pieces missing. I hit the floor with my leg, I was right something is under the floor. If I find the pieces I can open this. Kate must have put the book under here. It means the book is very important. But how would I found the pieces? Maybe it's in the other room. As I open the door I saw Kate standing in front of me. Shit, she must have saw me. I think I have to kill her now. Before I could do anything, she hold me by my neck and threw me across the room. Was she practicing karate? How did she got that much of strength? Guess, she is also a shewolf.

"That's what Elise was scared about, you Celia" said Kate. My mother was scared of lots of things, she was a weak and pathetic women. It doesn't shock me that she was scared of me because she should scare me, like everyone else should. My eyes glowed with a glimpse of yellow. Kate is making me angry. I wanted to sort it out peacefully but that's not going to happen now.

"Are you scared too?" I asked. Kate chuckled. Whatever she is, I want to see her dead. I get up and tried to transform myself but it was difficult cause I am still new at this. Suddenly a vine started to wrap around my body. What is this? My hands were tied by the vines. How did she do that?

"What are you? A witch?" I asked. Kate rolled her eyes at me.

"My full name is Hakate, I am sure you heard that name before" said Kate. Hakate? I realised the danger. Hakate is the Greek goddess of witchcraft, necromancy and night. Our history teacher told us. But why would she be my mother's friend? Is there something that I still don't know? I tried to untie myself but the vines were too tight. I need to get my claws out, I need to focus.

"Why do you want the book? It's dangerous, you have no idea what destruction it can cause" said Kate. Seriously! She just wants all the power to herself. I know what I am doing and I am on the right path.

"My mother knew about this?" I said. She looked concerned and walk towards me. Mom never use to tell me anything, maybe she knew that I was cursed or maybe she never wanted me to be this powerful.

"Your mother gave me the book to guard it from you. It's something that you need to get away from but I can see he is already in your head. Cant you see he is brainwashing you?" Said Kate, raising her voice. What? My mother knew everything but she lied to me. Now Kate is lying. Why would mom wanted me to stay away from a book? And who is Kate talking about? Who is brainwashing me? So many unanswered questions, I have to find the answers myself. All I know that my family betrayed me, the one I used to love the most. My claws appear and I slowly cut open the vines.  Kate didn't even saw it coming. With my claws I slash open her throat and she fell down, gasping for air. Blood started gushing out. I saw a key on her neck, it was like a pendent but I know the real use of it. I snatched the key forcefully from her.

"Yu...fa...Cer" Kate was trying to say something, she was shaking too much. Maybe she is begging for her life but it's too late. Her blood look appetizing, I lick her warm dripping blood. It tastes sweet.
