“General Talbot,” Kathy said.
“How did you get in here? Who are you?” General Talbot asked in shock.
“I'm the White Rose coven leader. How I got in here is really quite simple. Please don't try your vampire blood magic on me you'll find The White Rose has made it possible for me to see through it,” Kathy replied.
“What do you want witch?” Jason asked with venom in his words.
“You say that like it is a bad thing General. You obviously know about The White Rose, so you should know, she is a witch first. I'm not sure of the stories about her told by the vampires, but she doesn't become The White Rose fully until she's on deaths bed and the man she loves gives her life through the bite of the vampire. Until The White Rose has been bitten she's hidden away for only a few to know. I'm here because you seem to think my brother is The White Rose, yet even I know The White Rose in the vampire stories is female just as in the witches stories about her,” she said.
“Your brother?” Jason asked in total confusion.
“I guess since we've never met it might be a good idea to inform you who I am besides being the White Rose coven leader. My name is Katherine Waters-Nielsen, oldest sister of Samuel Waters,” she said.
“What is it you want witch?” Jason asked again, again applying his venom in referring to Kathy as a witch.
“For starters I want you to understand that until the magic decides, The White Rose will not be revealed, if she has revealed herself to you, it was done out of trust, and to betray that trust is something I wouldn't even begin to know the consequences of and never want to find out,” Kathy said.
“Has she revealed herself to you witch?” he asked her with a little less venom on the witch.
“Do you really think you could use your magic to make me answer that question vampire? The battle between the magic of the vampires and the magic of the witches is over, at least in the White Rose, The White Rose is alive and has made our magic inert against each other. Only she can change that since she bound the magic of both together. I'm here simply to let you know that trying to force The White Rose to reveal herself before the magic is ready to show her to the world holds dire consequences,” she said.
Before General Talbot could even think to move Kathy was gone as though never having been there.
