November came like a flashlight, Athena now had a month and a half in that state, and everyone started to be more worried, Alec and Jane they keep sobbing crying for her sister and just talking if the kings ask questions nothing else, Stephen didn't talk with anyone now, he just answered the twins and just basic questions, Caius decide that the alpha wasn't present anymore in the throne room, it was obvious to the kings now how he was breaking with every day that she didn't wake up, all of them in the nights study everything about witches or something that gave them a clue, Athena also stop vomiting and bleeding in that time ,the calls and texts became more and more, Alec had to turn off the cellphone because in any minute Stephen was going to snap at someone, the twins and him understand better and have a better relationship now than before because in the nights they passed some time together in his room watching over Thena, one night the twins with Stephen were in the room with Stephen having Athena in his arms crying silently, he always talked with her and tell her nice and lovely things and sometimes he gets a response with magic and that makes him a little happy, Jane was reading the type of witches that were before, and Alec was playing a soft melody for her sister, it was something that they created together, when reading Jane had an idea that they never consider

-And if since the beginning we were wrong to even her? -Jane asked them, that make Alec and Stephen put attention to her

-What do you mean sister? -Alec asked

-Think about it, is she never was an elemental witch? If she was something else and we never thought otherwise, that just was the beginning of her powers, but because she was biting her powers were also frozen, but after millenniums they start coming out? -she respond

-When she was human did she practice? -Stephen asked to them

-Not that I remember, just for little things to make us smile but not to a formal practice -Alec respond to him

-Jane what do you think she is? -Stephen asked

-Reading I think she is an Eclectic Witch, in here says that they do not follow a single path of witchcraft, but incorporate many different beliefs and practices into their craft

-That means? -Alec asked in confusion

Jane rolled her eyes, sometimes her brother could be very silly and not use the brain -That means that she can be every type of witch, right now she could be in an astral type of thing, is coming out in a hit, not slowly like it was supposed to happen, her body even if she is immortal all that power have to accommodate and adding all the gifts that she has

-You are right, maybe that's why that can explain her gift being a vampire -Stephen realized- Alec called the masters we maybe are onto something, Jane I think we can search for something like that in her stuff -they both nod their heads and Alec left the room for their masters, while Stephen put Athena in the bed in a comfortable position while he and Jane start walking to their closet, they could here the masters and Alec coming their way

-Thank you, Jane, for not giving up on her -he gave her a smile and a hug, Jane stay like a statue not expecting that, but she did the same a moment later

-I could never give up on her, she never did with me, and well you never gave up neither is just that you feel when she is in pain, and that makes it worse, she is family and our family is strong -Jane declared

He nod in agreement with her, and they keep searching when a book called his attention and took it, but it gave him chills- Jane do you feel something with this book

She turned to see him and she felt like an electric current and chills -Yes but it gives chills, let's take this and the other things and read, I think today was a good day -she said with a small smile, they leave the closet and saw their masters Aro with Athena her hands together and Marcus on the other side giving her affection and say things to her, while Caius stay in front of her with a painful look

-Master I think Jane found something, she thinks that Athena is not just an elemental witch but an Eclectic witch, which could be also the reason that she is a copycat

The kings look at each other knowing that now their theory is right- Jane I think you are right, and that makes us sure of our theory we been searching about it, but we can not find something useful -Marcus explains

-The reason that we believe that she is like that is that all the power that she has in her tiny body is getting out of control -Caius adds

-Yes we had that theory too, especially if she can have all that type of power just being a witch with all the gifts that she has now as a vampire, even when is technically just one - Alec said to them

-There is something more dear Alec, we think that she is having a mental battle with herself, we are not sure but right now we can only wait, she needs to accept her hybrid part, that being a witch is just another part of herself, forgive herself for what happened when she was a baby and that she didn't deserve all the things what her father told her

-We knew it! -Stephen, Jane, and Alec said at the same time, looks like they have a lot of time together, the kings gave each other a funny look, while Stephen gave the twins a mad face

-That is not happening, I hate when you three talk together, it's not going to happen with me- he stated, while Alec and Jane roll their eyes in sync, the kings laugh a little, looking like it was a good day for all of them, but remembering an important detail they lost the smile

-But there is the worst part my children, we don't know if she can come back if she doesn't win her battle -Marcus adds, the face of hope and happiness left their faces in a second

-She, she can not wake up? -Jane asked with pain and disbelief

-It's a lie, she is the best she can not leave us -Alec said with tears, while Stephen start to have tears again in his eyes, but after they can continue they hear something moving a moment later a book started floating and start heading toward Thena and put himself beside her and he drops, when they think he stopped he started to turn pages quickly and started to release a violet haze like when Athena uses her gifts, they saw that he is a page but can not understand what it says

With caution, they start to get close but the book put a dome letting them out not wanting them close to her witch, the twins and the alpha start hissing and growling in exasperation because they can not enter the dome, and the kings decided to stop them

-No calm down, I think he is protecting her -Aro said trying to have a calm voice

-Of what?! -Stephen snaps -I am her husband, her mate and she is mine, Alec and Jane they are her twins

-Yes I know but the book doesn't know it -he responds again

-Put attention, is like he has his own mind, and right now you are giving him a reason to let the dome there -Marcus explains

Caius starts thinking about something that he read before -They are right, there is a very old scroll, talking about how witches have their grimoire, but they have their own character that combines with the personality of her witch making them unique, they protect each other

Stephen starts to calm himself down a little -I swear that if I didn't love her as I do, I would go crazy with all these witch things

-Well you are not the only one, all of us are learning, and Athena will keep learning, especially her -Alec said

-Alec is right we are learning as a family, and we can help her when she wakes up -Jane adds

-It is because I know that she is coming back to us- Stephen said very sure of his wife, then a moment later the dome was down again they turn to see the grimoire with caution

-Looks like we prove to be worthy and that we are not going to do anything to her witch -Marcus said in astonishment, he saw that the three wanted to go and hug her but didn't do it because they were there- let's leave the kids alone, we can continue later, and we have to tell this thing to the queens -he said to his brothers, they agree to that, and all of them kissed her on the forehead

-I know that you are strong enough to come back my little sun -Marcus said in a whisper to her

-You are the strongest Athena, the Greeks consider you the goddess of war, so I know that you are going to be here with us -Caius said to her while also kissing her on the forehead, that was something that shocked every person there

-Dad loves you Thena, I miss you, my little girl, come back to me -Aro said to her, following the same example that his brothers, they leave leaving the three to run to her knowing that even when it doesn't look good, she is not going to stop fighting for them

They stay there more time, and Jane started reading more about her type of witch so she can help her sister, Alec start playing again, and while Stephen was hugging her, Jane saw that he was sleepy she made a sign to Alec and he understood

-We leave you so you can sleep and cuddle with Thena -she said mockingly, which made Stephen chuckle- I come when you are about to do your job Stephen -Jane said to the alpha, he nods his head in a thankful way

-Good night...brother -Alec said while leaving, Stephen smiled at that knowing how hard is for Alec to express himself, just because its the same with him

He cuddles with her, that night with much more hope he could sleep way better than the one month and a half, the next day he woke up with more energy, he feel more confident so he decided that he was going to the throne room that day, make the work that he didn't do this time, of course, he did other jobs but he knew that Jane was going to stay with his mate, he showers and changes while he was putting a black jacket to look formal, Jane knock in the door, and open

-I'm here you can go to do the check the perimeter of the castle and see the new ones -she said not noticing his outfit while walking to the closet searching for Thena's outfit that day and the things to do her hair, she got out and she walks past him she had to stop in her track in shock, Jane turn around and notice the change -What are you wearing?

-Clothes, I need to be formal in the throne room Jane, you know this -he responds

Jane opens her eyes but hides her shock very fast -So you are going to do your job as the personal guard of master Caius, and his right hand, are you ready for that? -she asks while leaving the things that she has in her hands on the couch

He breathes deeply -Not completely, but now I have more confidence knowing what is happening to her -she nods in understanding, Alec and she feel much better after yesterday

-I hope that this trial for today is not long, I hope to be here after eleven -he explains

Jane was thinking about Rosalie and Emmett and how they should tell them what is happening to her, she knows that the blonde beauty considers her sister her child -Did you talk with them?-she ask bluntly, Stephen stopped walking and turned to see Jane looking at him already

-Not yet Jane, I'm not ready to deal with Rose screaming at me -he sight

-I'm just going to say this one time, and if you tell someone I am going to deny every word that I said- Stephen raised an eyebrow he could notice the hard work that was taking her to tell him this- You need to tell them, I know that I hate that clan, but they need to know especially the blonde one, she loves her a lot, and you need your brother, I know that even when you consider Alec and me family is different when you have another person as a brother, and you have that with Emmett and the other blonde, even when you are mad with the last one, now go the trial is very soon -she turns around and start with Athena's hair, he smiled a little knowing that if his wife was there she would be telling him that she is right and that Jane has a soft side, he chuckled and speed toward the throne room

In the throne room were waiting for the kings to make themselves present for the trial that they have that day coordinated, Stephen entered the room from the door behind the thrones and put himself next to Caius' throne, Alec turn to see him there and he gave him a nod and a little smirk as a proud sign, he did the same, and he says hi to Felix and Demetri that gave him a huge smile, they were happy to see him there, it was a good sign maybe Athena was getting better, even when they are part of the elite guard they didn't know exactly what was happening to her, the kings enter the room and they stop walking when they saw Stephen there, he turns around and makes a bow -Masters -he responds, they saw that he was more calmed that the month before. Unfortunately, that trial take more time than it was supposed to be, so they were there the majority of the day.

While in the room with Athena and Jane, she keeps talking to her and singing a little, when Jane notices that she start bleeding again, Athena starts vomiting the black substance Jane runs to put her on the side so she can vomit everything when she stops her nose stars bleeding, tears were coming and she notices now that her ears start bleeding, she saw that her sister start shaking, like convulsions, Jane starts to panic

-NO, NO SISTER!! -she yelled- COME ON FIGHT THENA!! -the little blonde in the bed was not stopping and the bleeding got worst, she open the doors and sped toward the door of the hall where their rooms are located, she saw Chelsea there and others

-CHELSEA, GO TO THE THRONE ROOM, TELL THEM IT'S URGENT -Jane demand screaming, she nods and speeds toward the room

Jane went back with her sister that was getting worse, sweating was coming out, she put a hand on her forehead, she was boiling in temperature, she run to the bathroom and put cold water and took a handkerchief to put on his forehead, she does it but nothing help to get down the temperature, Stephen enter the room in a panic, with Alec behind him, seeing all the blood around his mate

-I don't know what happen she was fine then it start again, but she has a fever I put this to lower the temperature but I don't think it's helping much -she explain before they ask- she also had a convulsion, and her ears start bleeding this time

They turned to see her like she was crazy -I swear she did, it was horrible she look like she was dying again -then a convulsion started again they open their eyes in surprise and when they tried to get close the book put a dome, they hissed at him, the kings got there to see her like that, then she stops and a moment later there was an explosion inside the dome, they open their eyes in fear

-ATHENA!! -Stephen starts screaming at his wife, with tears now on his face

-SISTER!! -Alec and Jane scream in pain, and the three of them start punching the field force with every strength that they had

-Stop, stop you three -Caius said to them, he had to call Felix and Demetri to contain the alpha, while Aro and Marcus contain the twins, of course, Felix and Demetri had shocked faces and tears

When the smoke cleared, they could see Athena intact, with a few drops of sweat on her face, it was when they heard her heartbeat louder than before, they opened their eyes in amazement -Her magic is fighting the venom -Aro said with incredibility

-Looks like she needed to be more witch than before, the magic is exposing herself like a virus, like she was human, that's why the sweat, the vomits, the convulsions... -Caius realized

-She needs rest -Marcus demand -You three are not going to be in the next few days in work, only if it is necessary, Felix, Demetri you are going to be in charge of the guard for now

-Yes master -they said

They stay there more time, but worried, Stephen and Alec went for ice for the temperature, while Jane change her again, but this time in a pajama just in case she vomits again, in the night Athena was much better, Stephen was with her hugging her from the side, while Alec and Jane were in both sides in sofas with their eyes closed trying to process everything, they were in comfortable but worried silence, then they heard something, it was Thena she was murmuring things, they start putting attention but it was in Latin, but they couldn't understand

-That is a good sign, right? -Alec asked

-I suppose, while she is not delusional -Jane respond

-Both of you are right even if it is a good sign, we can not take it as a bad sign either -Stephen said, he put a hand on her forehead checking the temperature- The temperature is normal now I think, do you have the thermometer, Alec?

-Yes there it is, how is she? -Alec asked

-Looks better now -he respond, and they let out a breath that they didn't know they were holding, Jane and Alec looked at each other thinking the same thing, so they get up and start leaving the room, Alec turned around and point to his phone

-Called them Stephen, we know or we hope that she wakes up, but if she doesn't do it, they need to know what happen to her, and I don't want to deal with the blonde one, and even if you are fighting with them, we know that you consider them family- with that they left the room, he knew that he couldn't stop it now, he took his phone and turning it on, he saw all the calls and messages that he had from everyone, he took a dept breath and mark Rosalie number, it was going to be a long night

With the Cullens in New York...

It's been now nearly two months without news about two of the members of the family, they knew that they make mistakes, and they wanted to fix that, Rosalie and Emmett were the most anxious, and Rosalie was getting more and more worried, neither of them answers the phone or texts, and something in her tell her that her daughter is in danger, one night of November it was something weird that all of them were together, that day Rose had a like a panic attack so they wanted to be there for her, all of them were deep in thought, when Rosalie phone ring, she took the phone and her eyes open and took the call

-Stephen? Are you alright? What happens with you two? -Rosalie asked very fast, they heard him take a breath -Stephen, is something wrong?

-Rosalie take it with calm please -he pleaded, Rosalie's nerves came back but tried to compose herself

-Ok, but tell me -she said

-We are in Volterra now, or well since we left -everyone looks at each other, knowing that they didn't think of that- you know that Thena told you we had a mission some time ago

-Yes she told me that it was in... Ireland I think -she responds and puts the phone on speaker
