Jaelynn nodded, "Correct. Layla may be able to replicate appearance, and maybe even aura, we're unsure, but she could never replicate her mind to the point I would not be able to recognize that it's her." She sighed, stepping away from Serus before she smacked her, "Now tell me why you didn't just tell the truth to the council? We could've avoided a lot of the issues we're currently facing."

Serus sighed, placing her hands on her hips, "Correct Seth, and as for your question Jae, you'll be surprised at my answer." She paused, "You all know how the Council can be..I couldn't subject Layla to their cruelty..oddly enough." She shrugged, "So, I kept her here." She swung the door open to reveal a full sized master bedroom. It was completely furnished, with red being the main color. "I spent most of my time analyzing her mind, decoding her powers and trying to figure out how to apply them to myself, or other vampires if need be.

"I already knew about the blood transfer of power, but it only lasts 24 to 48 hours, give or take. I wanted to know how to make it permanent. I never did. Just recently, about 50 years ago, I decided to venture around the country to see if I could find anyone who would know, but I couldn't go to the council of course. Just before I had met Seth, Dragos somehow found her and managed to wake her up..."

Jaelynn frowned, "Your cruelty knows no bounds either you know. I don't want to go into those details regarding Layla's...stay here. Either way, what about Dragos? How did he survive?"

"I have no idea. I had wanted to ask him before I killed him, but I never got the chance to do either." She chuckled slightly, shutting the door and sliding the panel back across the wall, "Thanks to Seth. Now that's not a bad thing though."
