Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE HOUSE OF NIGHT SERIES THOUGH I DO OWN THE LEAD AND CRUSH/BOYFRIEND IN FUTRUE CHAPTERS

The school bell had just let us out from the last class of the day and I walked to my locker covering my mouth as I coughed.

People gave me strange looks everywhere I went and I ignored it since they did the same to my brother so since he left they picked on me since my twin was different and I supported him.

I stood in front of my locker placing my books into the ugly yellow shelve.

"Dyani!!!" yelled a high pitched voice down the hall. I turn my head and see a brown haired girl running towards me.

"What is it Carolina?" I asked raising my dark brown eyebrow while pulling my hair into a ponytail. I felt sick I had been feeling like this all day. Clammy, heat stroke and a horrid cough that I was waiting to cough up blood.

"Guess who is going to ask a certain 16 year old out who happens to be single." She sang off key

"-cough- I –cough- don't know –cough-." I said rubbing my throat while grabbing my scarf my brother sent me for our birthday. He had always sent me something useful.

"-sighs- you silly are going to be asked out by Josh Collins." She said

I look at her through my dark brown hair the hung in my face from the messy ponytail.

"so." I wheezed out slamming my locker door and walking towards the doors. Finally winter break and I get to go see my brother.

"Dyani Maslin!! Come back here and get asked out darn it." Yelled Carolina.

"No thank you –cough- Carolina." I said walking towards the parking lot until my lungs tighten.

I bent forward and coughed hard my eyes watering and I felt so weak as I fell to the ground coughing my hand was covering my mouth and I could feel liquid seep through my fingers.

'Blood.' I thought. My blue green eyes widen as I saw a shadow looming over my body and I look up seeing a young man with the crescent moon on his forehead.

'a-a vampyre tracker oh no'

My brother's change into a fledgling went through my head as the words the tracker went on the winds carrying them around me as I watched his face his lips never moving.

"Dyani Maslin, Night has chosen thee, thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee, hearken to her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits at the house of night." He said and then he was gone and my world faded to black abyss.

"My daughter open your eyes." A gentle voice called to me.

My eyes fluttered open and I sat up quickly looking around.

"Where am I?" I whispered.

A soft laugh next to me brought my vision to a figure floating next to me.

"Dyani." She said

Her beauty was simple and amazing she looked as though she was a dream but I knew who she was by the detailed description my brother had thought she would look like.

"Nyx!" I gasped

She smiled and brushed my cheek with her hand. "Yes my daughter it is I." she said

'What on earth would Nyx want with little ol' me?' I thought

This is the beginning of Dyani Maslin's journey of becomeing a fledgling being reunited with her twin brother helping Zoey Redbird with her problems and finding someone who doesn't judge her because of her brother's chose in who he likes.
