Chapter 1.12: Time Just Flies

-

Well, here it was their family pie she made on birthdays. She couldn't believe it was Isobel's tenth birthday, Serene had turned three and Juniper declared she no longer needed birthdays because she no longer got older despite being human. "Children! Rug rats! Munchkins!" Juniper called up to them.

Isobel was the first to come downstairs, it was kind of depressing. Her little girl, was growing up so fast. too fast. Juniper could remember their first words, and how odd it was that they weren't spouting mama. Isobel's first word was broccoli, and Serene's was doll.

"Thanks mama," Isobel said as the grabbed a slice. Juniper sighed, smiling down at her little girl and watching as she walked out of the kitchen. Would there be a day when she walked out of this house, for good? Would there be a day when she had kids of her own? She supposed it was only natural, children grow and mature. They learn new things, but she couldn't imagine her little girls being on their own.

Even though her little girls were growing up much too fast for her liking, Juniper wouldn't trade those moments for anything. The moments where she couldn't be prouder of their accomplishments....
The nerve racking and thrilling moments



The not always glamorous moments....



The moments she couldn't live without


Juniper was selfish, somewhat, she never wanted her children to grow up. She wanted them to stay little, to stay with her and to forever be innocent. She didn't want them to suffer, to get hurt or to ever know what it was like to truly be afraid. Yet, she knew there was nothing she could do to prevent them from growing up, no magic potion or spell to keep them little. Her children would grow up, and they would experience things she wanted to protect them from.

Perhaps one day, they would have their own children and they could all relate to those moments. Relate to hoping they never grow up, never get hurt, and never feel alone.

    She could turn them all vampires again and they'll all be young adults together forever!! Or, she can let them live their lives. Flip of the coin really, haha.

Chapter 1.47: A Tragic Past

Tabitha "Daddy, can we talk?" I asked. I kept thinking about what I overheard mother saying to this boy, and I couldn't believe it. If what she said was true, then I had two siblings I didn't know about and it was kind of upsetting. All I've ever been told was that I was an only child, and now it's like my whole world turned upside down. "Yes sweetheart?" Daddy asked, smiling at me. I always loved how he talked to me, like I was the only thing that mattered. I smiled, but then shook my head. "Who are Joseph and Valentine?" I asked. I wasn't sure what I was expecting to hear but I sure didn't expect to see the color drain from his face. He looked genuinely afraid, but of what? "Where did you hear about them?" Daddy asked me, and I frowned. "Mother was talking to someone, I think his name was Hayden or something?" I asked, shrugging. The boy wasn't important but the names were, the names of

Authors Note: This chapter starts Serene into the story, or more accurately her point of view. Now that Toby is dead, she officially gets her debut! Also, their wonderful new house they live in is thanks to Glenkarri from the D.N.A team! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mama decided it was best if they move, because papa and the old house was too sad. The old house was filled with the haunting old tunes of the piano, the laughter from when he told us silly jokes and the sweet sound of his voice when he read her bedtime stories. This house, it meant nothing to Serene. It wasn't where her papa was, and it wasn't where she wanted to be.    This house made her feel so lonely, so alone. She had been so sad, and cried all the time at first but now she was angry. She was so angry at her mama; it was all her fault that papa died. Serene had heard something, a very bad something and it changed everything.  --------------

Valentine "Umm, I don't know. I wasn't there when my papa died. Why are you asking all these questions?" Serene asked me. I couldn't really tell a ten year old that I wasn't sure why her father died. Hell, I couldn't tell her anything because I didn't want her to say anything to anyone. The last thing I needed was something to happen to Isobel's little sister. "Just making sure everything in the case is all good to go," I said, smiling. I really hoped Serene isn't that bright, maybe my bullshit lie won't be seen through and I can convince her not to worry. "Really, I'm just doing my job. Rookie work, ya know?" I said. "So, nothing new came up?" Serene asked. I had to admit I was surprised by her question, maybe she knew something wasn't adding up and she could help me. "You live with my sister right?" she asked. "Yeah," I answered. "Keeping her safe?"
