Ch7 Parallel worlds

"You might be the queen, and Damons mate, but I was here first" he almost whined I scoffed, he sounded like a six year old girl "Damon is my best friend and I'm worried about him so tell me ...." Now it was my turn to interrupt him
"Wait you and Damon are best friends?" I asked
"Yes?" Matt confirmed but it sounded like a question
"How long have you been friends?" Matt looked at me like I'd grown another head
"Over three centuries, when Damon first came here, Dylan and I became his friends, then Charlie came along, then you, but you know all this already" he stood away from the table as he squinted
"Uh of course I do" I tried to wave it away with a nervous laugh
"You didn't know" Matt began I could almost see the coggs working in his brain "and Damon didn't remember, and Dylan didn't say hi, and, oh my gods, Anastasia please tell me what the hell is going on before I lose my sanity" Matt shouted, I was stuck on the fact that he called me Anastasia, when I had told him to call me Anastasia in the past he had refused, saying he was already my employer he didn't want to stop calling me queen
"Matt sit down, please, you're going to need to sit for this" both of us sat down, I remembered something Robert had said once that Damon picked his friends very carefully, that you had to be someone special to be his friend, not anyone could become his friend, and if we don't count Kristen we can say that Damons friends can be trusted "do you believe in parallel worlds?" I asked, Matt shook his head
"I own a library, what do you think?" He said, I nodded
"A week ago, Damon and I woke up to a world where warewolves were nothing but a myth created by mortals" I began to explain everything, Matt went from shocked to sad to angry to happy
"When we came back, I was happy to see you, Damon doesn't know you well, and Dylan, well Dylan and Charlie come from a world where you don't exist" I finished
"How long were you gone?" Matt squeaked out, before clearing his throat, I looked at him and smiled apologetically
"Two months" I revealed, when he nodded I included "but we came back to the exact moment we left, so technically we never left" I smiled.
We spoke more about our time away and Matt was in awe
It had only been an hour since Dylan, Charlie and Damon had left but they blinked in and straight away Charlie started talking
"Anastasia we need to talk" he looked towards Matt then quietly said "about what we did" I laughed at how that would've sounded to an outsider, I stepped back from him
"Matt knows, he knows everything" I revealed, Damon stepped forward this time
"Why?" He asked wanting to know why I'd tell Matt anything
"Because, Damon, he's your best friend" I told him, Damon raised an eyebrow "Dylan, Matt and you have been friends since you came here"
"That makes sense" Charlie spoke once more, I gave Charlie a look that said 'go on' Charlie sighed "I've read the books on warewolves from cover to cover, and one thing the books don't mention is a warewolf bite being lethal to vampires" Charlie told me, before I could say anything I heard Matt laughing
"Warewolf bites killing vampires? That's absurd, why would a warewolf be able to kill a vampire?" He laughed,
"Matt, when Evangeline woke up and found her child dead she created warewolves, I told you this" I reminded him
"You said the warewolves were created to kill the vampires" Matt said
"Yeah by biting them" Dylan said as he crossed his arms across his chest accusingly
"But warewolves can't kill vampires, we've never been able to kill vampires" Matt furrowed his eyebrows
"He's right" Charlie began "I'm guessing that, thanks to our input, when Evangeline created warewolves she made sure that they couldn't hurt vampires, Anastasia there's no enmity between the wares and vamps, they get along, they always have" Charlie finished, I sighed this made me happy, this was great, in this world there's no enmity which means Matt and Damon can be friends a smile played on my lips as I thought about Matt and Damon becoming best friends
"Um, look Anastasia go home, you need rest, and uh, Damon you don't have to come with me tonight, I understand..." Matt said looking upset, but Damon interrupted him
"No Matt, I would love to come out with you, you said we were best friends?" Matt nodded "then what are friends for? Although we will probably have to start from the beginning" Damon nervously brushed a hand through his hair
"Cool" Matt smiled, his smile was contagious and I smiled too, "Now all of you go home, you look tired"
After goodbyes we blinked to Damons house. Damon and I fell on one side of the big corner sofa whist Dylan and Charlie fell onto the other side
"I like him" Damon said, I smiled at him
"I suppose I can see us becoming friends" Charlie shrugged
"Great, another member in our group" Dylan said sarcastically
"Are you ok Dylan?" I asked I didn't want him being upset
"Yeah, I'll be fine" Dylan brushed me off
"Good because according to Matt you and he were best friends before Damon came to this coven, I believe that in the world Damon and I come from you and Matt were friends but when Damon came, you became friends with Damon so you and Matt drifted apart because of the enmity between wares and vamps, and I'm thinking in this world you all stayed friends because the enmity doesn't exist" I explained, Dylan seemed to be deep in thought as he nodded his head.
"We still need to find out who went back in time to eradicate warewolves" Charlie reminded me and my anger started to come back, someone wanted my children dead, I would kill them. I said nothing as I nodded "it has to be someone from your family" Charlie said to me calmly like we we discussing the whether
"Excuse me?" I nearly screamed, Damon put a hand on my shoulder to calm me down
"Baby, Evangeline is the only witch in existence that had the ability to travel through time, we know it couldn't have been one of the queen's so it must've been someone the queen's trusted enough to talk about their potions" Damon explained it better and it did make sense, I felt myself nod
"Ok, maybe one of the husbands or children" I thought out loud the men nodded showing they agreed with me "we need to make a list of all the children the queen's had, their husbands, their boyfriends...." I stopped talking when Anubis appeared in front of us. "Anubis" I stood up to greet the god of death, I hugged him, he smiled warmly at me the men stood up too and took turns in hugging the god in greeting.
