"Exactly. You told me you felt a warmth enter your body and tingles go up your arms right?" He asks
"Yeah." I reply fully snapping out of the flashback.
"I think somehow she transmitted her gifts to us." He says
"That's impossible she was human she had no abilities." I say
"That we knew of." He replies
"Did you ever put the pieces together of when you could transform into anyone? You found out you could change your whole body and look when you turned 13, you were 12 when she died but two days later you turned 13." He says and I nod
"I found out I could use my ability when I turned fifteen. It has something to do with age. Like a year difference." He says
"I don't think so. I think it's just another disfunction we have." I say
"Think about that thought at least." He says
"I think we were born with them Josiah. I just don't think they were awakened until mom died." I say
"But why?" He asks and I try to think of any explanation then one comes to mind.
"Blood." I say quietly
"What?" Josiah and Eric both ask.
"Her blood. I felt the warmth in my body with my head on her heart where she was bleeding, I felt the tingles in my arm when my hand was in her blonde hair which was covered in blood. Your hand was on her bleeding forehead. It's the blood it has to be! There is no way she was completely human because her blood instead of just red it had a huge black tint to it!" I exclaim standing up and rushing over to my black bag. I yank out a small tube and look at the black blood inside.
"Turn on that light." I say pointing to the lamp to my far left while I search for other stuff. I grab a small bowl then rush over to the desk.
"Hand me your knife Eric." I say and Josiah and Eric come over beside me. I take Eric's knife and hold my wrist over the bowl.
"Whoa Raven what are you-"
"Just trust me ok?" I say then slit the knife across my wrist. The blood drips into the bowl then I watch the wound heal.
"How'd it heal so quickly?" Josiah asks
"Oh guess she forgot to mention that part yeah your sister here can heal herself and anybody in an instant unless the wounds too deep. Then it takes longer." Eric says and I scowl at him.
"Seriously? And when exactly were you planning on telling me this?" Josiah asks and I shrug.
"You would've found out eventually." I say then put the bowl of my blood under the light then grab the tube of demon blood.
"Raven what are you doing?" Josiah asks me
"For heavens sake just trust me. I'm testing something!" I exclaim and he sighs nodding. I screw the lid off the tube and take it under the light as well then pour a small amount into my blood. My blood sizzles for a few seconds then starts to take on the same appearance as my mothers blood.
"Josiah look at this." I say and he leans over my shoulder and looks at the bowl.
"What the hell." He mutters and I look over at him with a smirk.
"She had demon blood in her system we all do. If that demons blood would have touched our red blood the blood would turn pitch black then to ash if it was average, but not with my blood, once the demon blood touched it my blood accepted it and took on a dark ruby red shade with small black swirls through it." I say
"That's impossible!" Eric exclaims and I shake my head.
"Evidence is right there." I say pointing to it.
"If your mother passed on these gifts to you, if your blood mixes with demon blood that can only mean one thing." Eric says and I nod looking back to the bowl of blood then up to the guy's bewildered faces.
"Our mother was half demon which means that-" I cut Josiah off and nod.
"We are half demon." I say.
