So I waited for Gabriel and his family to show up, when they did he got everyone into a house then he took the men back to get the stuff they couldn't live without.
While they were gone I went over to see how Annie was doing, and to see if she knew what was going on.
"My queen I think we are in danger. We were followed from the hospital today. That has never happened before. I don't know if it was because of Amber getting well so fast or something to do with the baby. But four men in an SUV followed us home then sat outside the house till Gabriel came back home. We went out to talk to them but once he got close to the car they sped away. Gabriel said you put up wards and shields around this place and we would be safe, so we came here. I'm scared my queen, this car has been following us for a week. I need my children safe."
"I know Annie, and you will all be safe here. I promise you nothing will happen to your family as long as I'm alive. Why don't you try to take a nap, I can see your exhausted. The girls can watch over Amber and I will watch the baby. By the way what did you name him?"
"We named him Scott after my dad. He died when I was six months old. my mom never got over it. If your sure, yes I need sleep. Thank you for protecting my children."
"You are all apart of my clan I will protect you to my last breath. Now give him to me, Emily and the girl's will watch Amber and you sleep."
She gave me Scott and went to lay down, Emily and the girl's passed the time showing Amber how to use the sticks. Either daddy had been teaching her or she was a natural. I took Scott in the house. Just as I sat down I remembered the shields and warding, I turned to Arianna," Um wasn't the wards supposed to keep out all but dragons elves and Lilly, How did Annie get through? I know the kids got through because of their dragon halves, but what about Annie? She's not a dragon I would have felt it. And you only took Lilly's blood so only she can get in and out without being harmed. Is it possible that she has elf blood or dragon blood in her but it is really diluted, she did say her father died when she was six months old."
"This is a good question I will have to examine her after her nap, and you might have to talk to Gabriel about it."
"Yes, it seems I must talk to him about a few things. Also would it be to taxing for you to ward against specific creatures? I don't want to wear you out but what she said has me worried."
"You would like me to add shields and wards against vampires don't you."
"Yes please, These are all the dragons left I must protect them. I will help if you need me to."
"Thank you my dear but warding against a specific creature is much easier than many so it won't take long. With Lilly's help I can be done in an hour. That is if Lilly isn't busy?"
"No, get your stuff I will take you anywhere you need to go. I will be waiting at the car."
"Thank you I will be back in five minutes."
Arianna went upstairs to get her equipment, then Lilly looked at Sky and said," I was going to tell you about last night's dream but I guess you already figured it out."
"You mean to say you dreamed about vampires?"
"Yes, four of them come in a black SUV here on Monday while we are at work. They kill everyone here. We come home to a slaughter."
"Well I'm not going to let that happen, no one will die this time. Everyone will be safe. Please take care of mom."
"You know I will, watch over the kids we will be back soon."
"It might take a little longer than an hour, I am adding warding for Hell Hounds as well. They use them for hunting and tracking. I will make this place as secure as I can. Also I believe everyone should call out sick tomorrow so we will be prepared. When the men get back talk to them, see what they have to say."
"Your right I think it's a great idea all the way around. Now please get moving I want you back here before dark."
So Lilly took Arianna back out to put another layer of shields and warding around the community, she was determined not to loose anymore of her people to the Vampires or the council.
About fifteen minutes later the guys came home she stopped them before they unloaded the truck," We need to talk! I assume you told all the men why you decided to move here right."
"Yes my queen, they were vampires. They know we are here. The men and I plan to patrol tonight I don't plan on loosing my family to them."
"Good, now you need to know where the perimeter is. Always stay on this side of it, you can see out but they can't see in. You can be right in front of them and as long as you don't physically hit them they will never see you. Also you all need to know Arianna and Lilly are adding more to the warding. We will be hidden from the dark elves, vampires, and hell hounds. If you can think of anything else let me or Arianna know. Also Annie is asleep so wait a bit to move this stuff. Scott is in our house, and the girl's have Amber."
" Thank you my queen."
As the guys to to their houses for a while Gabriel and I walk back to our house. That's when I ask him about Annie.
"Gabriel do you know anything about Annie's background? She got through the shields with no issues. I know she wouldn't have been awake if she didn't have elf or dragon blood in her line somewhere."
"To be honest my queen I think she might have dragon blood. When Amber was a year old they had to give her a blood transfusion and Annie was a perfect match. I can't prove it, but I believe that is it. she doesn't carry enough to make her a full dragon but it's there."
"Arianna will test her if it's okay with you both. We can prove one way or the other. It will also explain why the children's souls were fighting they way they were. they are a hair more dragon than human."
"I would love it if she could check her out."
"It will most likely be tomorrow, and by the way everyone is taking tomorrow off in case something were to happen. I don't believe it will now, we have had advance notice so we will be prepared."
" I am totally okay with that my queen, now not to be rude but I would like to see my children."
We got Scott first then we found Amber. Gabriel was proud of the way she was using the sticks. He said he should have taught her sooner.
