Vivian walked across the lawn of their new home in Vermont. Nothing seemed to interest her lately, she realized though, that she didn't miss Maryland one bit. Nothing in particular when her cell rang.
" Vivian, is this you?" Rudy asked on the other line.
" Yea, its me, whats going on?" She asked. She heard hesitation on the other line.
" Vivian, we have a slight problem..." He started off.
A few hours later
As Vivian finished telling the story to her mother, Esme sat back in her chair to contemplate the situation.
" So, a woman shows up at the door and says that she and Rudy had a child fourteen years ago. The daughter's name is Jade, and shes loup-garou, the woman, Monica you said, is unable to take care of Jade at the time because of complications, but Rudy can't take care of any kid, so he wants to send her here to us, damn and I thought I was done taking care of children," Esme concluded.
" Don't worry about it, i'll do it, to prepare for what lies ahead," Vivian smiled stroking her stomach. Gabriel got up and wrapped his arms around Vivian. Esme nodded.
The next day
The next day was hectic preparing Jade's room. Apparently the girl wasn't one who would adjust to anywhere, so they made her feel at home by painting it black and putting in black lightbulbs.
Ulf and Finn were assigned to drive to the airport to pick Jade up, when they arrived, a new shadow now was in the car. As Jade got out, she slung her four suitcases along with a backpack over her shoulder and marched up. She had straight black hair with blue streaks in it. She had swamp green eyes that reminded her very much of Rudy's. Ulf came to the door growling.
" Damn, that bitch knows how to cop an attitude, good luck with this one, Viv," He said before going to lay down after the long drive. Jade came to the door and just stood there waiting for Vivian to say something. Vivian sighed.
" Welcome, Jade, i'm Vivian," She tried to start but Jade just scowled.
" Are all of you people like that around here or just the ones who have no brain cells?" She asked. Now it was Vivian's turn to scowl. Willem came up and looked at her.
" You had better cool it, you should know you're talking to the head bitch," He replied. Jade rolled her eyes.
" Anyway, where the hell am I sleeping?" She asked obviously bored by the conversation already. Jade made herself calm down and led Jade down the hall and up the stairs. Jade lagging behind because she was dragging four suitcases plus her backpack.
" Here it is, by the way, what's with all the suitcases?" Vivian asked.
" Well, the backpack is all my books and cds and shit like that. Two of my suitcases are clothing while the other one is my posters, anymore dumb questions?" Vivian just shook her head and left leaving Jade to plop on her bed to rest like Ulf after a long drive.
