I shook my uncle. "Uncle Varance," I said softly.
"Huh?" He asked cracking blood-red eyes look up at me.
"I have blood for you wake up." I tell him as I hold up a cup.
He groaned as He sat up. "It's too early for this." He huffed.
"And you have an hour to be ready for our meeting with the outworld leaders," Father said from behind me.
"It's too earlier for that too!" He hissed as he took the cup from me.
"I know Uncle." I chuckled and a knock came on the door. "I have that," I tell him and I stepped out. "Yes, can I help you, Caretaker?" I asked Lily.
"I am sorry for bothering you but." She held out something similar to Mom's phone showing me a photo of the man who was not supposed to be here.
"Where is he?" I asked her.
"Back stairwell." She said. "He keeps peeping in the door. Because he's technically in the rights of the restraining order I can't call the cops."
"But I can scare him off." I nodded to her. "Give me a moment." I wanted to let my fangs drop but I did not want to scare the kids but I did slam the door into him. "I know my guards have already told you to fuck off." I snarled as my eyes bleed red and my fangs door.
"YOu freak I have every right to be with my son!" He spat at me and I grabbed him and slammed him into the wall
"Not according to you courts and if you do not leave I will do something drastic." I spat at him.
"OH? You going to kill me?" He asked me.
"Oh, you think I could kill you no see that would be far too easy," I tell him my fangs retracted. "People like you get to the mines and work like rats for the rest of your miserable life. And you know that I think I think your government wouldn't say no to the request since you keep not listening to the warnings of a Vampire Queen and her guards." I dropped him.
He crawled back and looked scared. "You wouldn't."
"Oh but I would, now if anyone sees you in this healer's house again or you go near that young man I will hall your ass tot he mines personally thought my shadows." He got up and ran down the stairs as I watched him with blood-eyed eyes.
"I have to say that was quite entertaining." I looked up at a male healer. "Thank you he has been a nuisance since the little boy goes here."
"Not a problem I hate child abusers," I said as I opened the door for him.
"You and me both." He said as I walked past the kid's room the mother stepped out and grabbed my arm.
"Can I help you?" I asked with a hiss in my voice making her let go of me.
"Sorry." She said and sighed. "Thank you for your help." She said.
"Do not thank me for protecting a child," I tell her. "Anyone who lays a hand on a child needs to be in the mines but I do not have the power to send him there."
"Excuses me." A woman said walking up to us.
"Can I help you?" The woman beside me asked her.
"I was hoping to get an interview with this vampire." She said as I stiffened.
"I think not." Nurse Lily said stepping in between them. "I am going to ask you to leave you reporters know better than to come to the hospital."
"Oh come now we all want to know if the turning of young James is the start of a turning pandemic." She said with a venomous smile.
I raised an eyebrow at her and then tilted my head. "Are you a mother?" I asked her.
That made the smile drop. "No, but I have a niece."
"What would you do if she had been shot in the chest twice and the only way to save her was to let her become a vampire? Because that is the only reason James was turned there was no way anyone even the fastest vampire would have been able to get him to a hospital. That is all you are going to get from me and if you wish to talk to someone about turnings and the restrictions of it go speak to the kings and queens. But that is right we have to meet with the leaders before the news gets their chance to speak with us. Please leave or you will be removed."
She said nothing but turned on her heel and left. "Well, you know how to play to strengths of the heart," Lily said.
"Everyone has someone they want to protect. Or well maybe not everyone but most do. So why not play that to what I need?" I asked them.
"True. So will you be at the meetings?" She asked me.
"No my Uncle and Father will be thought. Speaking of which I need to get back." I said as I excused myself and headed to the room.
"There you are," Father said as I stepped back into the room.
"Sorry, we had a stocker of a kid that I had to scare off," I said.
"Again?" Magda asked me.
"Yes but hopefully he will stay away now." I sighed as I sat on the edge of the Nest.
"Will you two be okay here?" Father asked.
"We will be fine I will go sit with the kid again and we all know Diana will not leave this room without someone else here to watch him." I nodded as Father sighed.
"What is it, Father?" I asked him.
"I feel like we are getting too involved but we have our laws when it comes to Children and I will not let anyone stop us from following them." He sighed again.
"Tell me about it." Uncle huffed as he was drinking another cup. "Also your eyes are red."
"I know I need some of that," I said taking a cup of blood as I sighed and sat on the edge of the nest.
"I hate this," Uncle said as he disappeared into the shadows.
"He sure does like to complain." Magda laughed.
"Tell me about it." I laughed. "Will you hand me the map?" I asked her.
"Here and I will be stealing this," Magda said picking up the book and then left the room.
"So it's you and me, James," I said to him as I shifted on the nest. I know he wasn't going to replay but talking out my thoughts helped. "So that is where the butcher Dr.Luca was talking about. It's about two blocks from here." I said marking the map. "That is the Library. I am going to need to keep an eye on Kieth when he finds out since he is a book nerd. Though I think he and Owen have something going on. He seems to be flustered around him." I laughed. "I have never seen him get flustered like this. And he was my teacher when I was a Paige. This is the…" I stopped as a knock came from the door and it opens.
"Hey, Lady Diana." Healer Luca said. "I just wanted to check in on yea."
I smiled at him. "Not a problem Healer we are fine here," I tell him.
He smiled at me. "Good let me know if anything changes or you need anything." He said before he closed the door.
"You know he's really nice but that healer needs to have more confidence in himself," I tell James. "Now where were we?" I asked him as I picked up the map again. "The armory that is something we will need to keep a few of our guys from because while we do not use guns some of our guys want to know how everything is built." I huffed and then I look at one of the builds. Then I leaned back and then sighed. "I will kick Logan's teeth in if he goes there," I growled as I leaned back. "I think we need to change over to a book what do you think?" I asked him. A few hours later Magda came in and growled as she leans back on the door.
"What is it?" I asked her.
"Reporter." She hissed. "I am ready to rip her head off."
"If it was the female I was talking to earlier she is wanting to find a way to make everyone fear us keep your head, my knight," I tell her.
"I know. I know." She sighed. "Lady Diana what can I say to get rid of her?" I smiled at her.
"Start resiting the Knights oath if she will not leave you alone," I tell her.
"That works now I need to go back to Gil before he freaks out." She said.
"I will be here. If she is still harassing you let me know."
"You know you can not leave this room." She said.
"No, but I can stick my head out the door." I grinned at her.
"Good point. When is Xavier getting here?" She asked.
"Mother said after school and that ends at 3:30 pm on the clock there and it's a 20 minutes drive on the bus."
"Very well I will see you then." She said as she walked back out the door.
"I know that you will make the north proud," I tell her and she smiled at me as she shut the door. "And you," I said turning to James. "You will be so loved y uncle Varance and the Terant clan heck I am and I know for a little over a month that King Varance was my uncle since my Father never talked to about the past," I tell him.
"You act like he was going to reply." I was up and over the nest growling at a male who entered the room. "WHOA Princess!" I growled again and I sighed as I looked at Onyx.
"Onyx I was about to rip your head off." I snap at him.
