He tried to keep himself calm. How can a human get so much power that she could become supreme amongst the supernatural, it was unbelievable.

"Human?..."

She sighed.

"Yes I was a human... A normal girl..."

"Then how did you became like this..."

"You know in witches only the firstborn gets the legacy of power?..." She asked and he nodded.

"Yes I am aware..."

"I was born into a witch family... But I was the second child. My elder sister got all powers from my mother and I got nothing, I was like a normal human girl which didn't bother me or my family at all as we know it's not in our hands. I was used to standing in the corner and watching my grandmother, mother and sister using their powers."

she sighed and licked her dry lips.

"And?..." He was impatient to hear the rest but he didn't express it.

"And my grandmother, Victoria... She was not a good woman..."

"As in?..."

"She wanted to be the superior amongst all the witches... At that time there were no vampires. Werewolves hardly showed their existence so most of the people thought of them a myth... The only known power was witches and the wizards..."

"Vampires didn't existed?..."

"They didn't... Don't you know your own history. Your grandmother Elizabeth made the first vampire, Robert. She was a powerful witch, powerful than everyone and my grandmother wanted to be the one..."

"So you knew Elizabeth?... You knew that___"

She shook her head.

"No... I didn't. I never met her, I knew that Robert has a mother named Elizabeth and she is the one who is the powerful but that day when I snatched her powers I didn't knew that she is the one. I never saw her face before, maybe Robert knew that something like this will happen when we collide that's why he never let me come in front of his mother..."

She explained and Nicolai nodded in understanding.

"What about Victoria?..."

"Victoria started performing rituals which were banned for the witches. The power she got as her legacy didn't satisfy her greed so she started borrowing her powers from the 5 elements of nature which made her powerful... But she didn't realise that she was making the witch world toxic and was opening forbidden doors for the evils..."

"What happened after that?..."

"I had a cousin, Carlos... Who was a wizard. He was not stable in head, he was evil and always bullied others using his powers. He had this obsession with snakes, he had many snakes as his pets... He was so crazy that he wanted to became like them, lethal and poisonous. At a very young age Carlos started consuming snakes venom little by little and his body accepted that or maybe he used some spells to make it work. After few years he started consuming venom only..."

"He was fucked up... Didn't anyone tried to stop his craziness?..."

Nicolai scowled.

"No everyone was scared... Specially me, we never went along so my father strictly warned me not to go in front of him. He won't think twice before killing me and it was too easy for him as I was human..."

Nicolai's hold on her arms silently tightened thinking that.

"Carlos learned what my grandmother was doing. He wanted to be the same so he started performing the same spells but he failed. The venom had already changed his blood as he didn't had the pure magicblood to perform rituals... On other hand after getting incredible power my grandmother became more evil, she started to exploit people weaker than her which included everyone. She started to think herself as the supreme, even greater than god which my family didn't like... My father and mother left her saying they don't want their daughters to become like her..."

"You and your sister?..."

"Yes... We left her. Victoria soon realised that her power meant nothing without her family so she wanted us back, her son and grandchildren back but my father didn't agree... My father was very angry as she became immortal by exploiting and misusing the nature as those 5 elements are sacred and inevitable and by borrowing that power she became like that too..."

"And Carlos?..."

"Carlos rituals didn't work so he used another evil spell to snatch others Power... He started killing other witches and wizards which automatically transferred their powers to him... And now his target was Victoria. He wanted immortality and supremacy..."

Nicolai sighed.

"What an interesting family you got..."

"Shut up... My father and mother were great..."

She scolded.

"Okay I am sorry... And then?..."

She continued.

"And then Victoria and Carlos became each other's biggest enemy. He wanted her powers and she wanted him to be powerless... Finally my grandmother found a way to do that..."

"How?..."

"By transferring his powers to someone who has the same bloodline as his... But someone who is pure, someone who will be a puppet of Victoria... And that someone was___"

"YOU... That someone was you..." Nicolai stiffened.

"Yes... I was the only one who was not a witch. I had pure blood and a young body which could handle the powers. A girl whom Victoria could treat the way she want. My father strictly opposed it saying I am the only one who makes him feel like human and he won't let her spoil my purity. He liked that thing about me and that's why he named me Serenity... But my grandmother forcefully transferred Carlos power into me and made me like him but still she couldn't managed to snatch all his powers. He managed to survive and ran just to come back and avenge all of us..."

Nicolai rubbed her arms...

"How did you felt..."

"Terrible... I wasn't used to all these supernatural powers. And I didn't only got the powers from Carlos___"

"Then...?"

"I got his venom too and his power to snatch others Powers... The Obsession of snakes, the addiction to their venom. I was no longer a harmless human. I couldn't live my life normally. Just a scratch and I burnt everything down..."

"Is that why those flowers___"

Nicolai couldn't complete his sentence.

"Yes... That's why I can't touch flowers and this venom has no limits. It kills everyone and everything that has life... I was in pain, mentally and emotionally in the start. My sister started hating me because she wanted these powers which my grandmother denied her because she was a rebel unlike me who was an obedient kid. Even Victoria didn't bother to groom me but my father never gave up on me. He taught me how to control it and succeeded. I started living my life with all the borrowed powers..."

"Did you miss your human life?..." Nicolai rubbed her shoulders gently and she sighed in satisfaction.

"In the beginning I didn't... It was fun to do magic but as days spent I started missing my normal life. I couldn't play with my friends anymore, I wasn't allowed to be careless and free. Victoria on the other hand took charge of my life... Which was really bad, she wasn't a great person..."

"Did she hurt you?..."

Nicolai asked.

"Not physically but mentally yes..."

"Why didn't you oppose her... You had powers..."

Nicolai furrowed his eyes.

"Yes I had powers but I didn't had the courage... She was powerful and it wasn't easy to fight against the power of nature..."

"Understandable..."

He sighed.

"Carlos was continuously trying to harm Victoria for revenge. He attacked her and Victoria compelled me to kill Carlos but___"

She stopped and Nicolai titled his head towards her.

"But___?"
