Prologue: So it begins…..

Time has flown by; it seemed like yesterday rather than five years ago since I birthed my children. I waited until they were six months old before I resume my regime. My father-in-law and his Consort took to training me while Adrian watched our babies, then when I trained with him, my father and mother took over the babysitting.

Also after six months I took up the mantle of Vampire Slayer, being Julius' successor and I took care of any pain in the asses that were terrorizing the town. Adrian continued to work for the agency but took up my father's office as his and worked from there, and my father-in-law took my father's advice to heart and was now working on his medical education. Leon turned out to be well educated when it came to history so he's decided to work as my father's assistant, working toward a degree in teaching. Aside from being a Vampire Slayer I decided to be a stay at home mom. I was content with that for the time being.

Lisa and Gabriel were little imps at times but, what children weren't? Both children had a mischievous streak but as soon as their father looked at them, silently asking for an explanation, they talked. Today, after a tiring day of running around the lake, playing with the grandparents, the children demanded a story before bed.

"All right," I said with a smile, "What would you like?"

"Jack and the Beanstalk," Gabriel suggested as he and his sister looked at their bookshelf.

"Nah," Lisa said. "How about the Princess and the Pea,

"What's the point, she went to sleep on a bed that had a pea in it!"

"Snow White,"

"She talked to a stranger!"

"Gabe, come on…."

"Can't help that I'm picky," My son huffed. Then he blinked at a book with a little girl following a rabbit. "Mommy, what's this?" He passed the book over and I smiled.

"Why, it's Alice and Wonderland." I said. "I believe this is my favorite."

"Who's Alice?" Lisa asked as she held Faye, (my husband's fairy familar). Gabriel looked at his sister as if she were batty.

"She's a girl, you twinkie!"

"MOMMY!"

"Gabriel Mathias Cronqvist, stop teasing your sister!" I barked. My son looked down and nodded but I heard him mutter "tattletale".

"Your brother is right Sweetie, Alice is a girl, but she was very curious. And her curiosity landed her into adventure."

"So can we read this one Mommy?" Gabriel asked with pleading eyes. I sighed and after tucking the kids in, I settled in the middle and began to read. Time flew by again as I read, my focus and guard down. I almost fell asleep; my eyes almost closed until I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and felt a figure standing in the doorway of my children's bedroom. I shot up and took a stance. I heard a chuckle and I relaxed.

"Adrian, don't do that." I said with a sigh. My husband looked at me and smiled.

"You look tired Angel."

"I'm fine," I said as I resettled back on the bed. "How did it go?"

"Same old dance." My husband said as he sat down at the edge. "Were our children being imps again?"

"Not so much, I settled them down with a story." I said as I pointed to the book, which brought a smile to my husband's face.

"Ah, I remember this book." He said as he picked it up and placed it on the bedside table. "I believe this one's your favorite Angel."

"Gabriel spotted it."

"Ah," He chuckled. "On which part did they fall asleep on?"

"The very end," I said. He chuckled again and after settling the children into their beds, we went into our living room and sat by the fire. Soon, Mathias and Leon came and joined us.

"Where are my grandchildren?" Mathias asked. My husband and I looked at each other then at him.

"They're fast asleep, dreaming of Wonderland." Mathias smiled knowingly. I was about to say something when we heard screams.

"AHHH, get away ugly, hands off my sister!"

"Gabe help!" I heard my daughter cry. We all ran in and saw an evil looking portal and each of our children were held by a monster. I turned to my husband, who seemed to recognize the demon who looked like Death on some serious steriods.

"I thought I finished you long ago."

"You seem to forget that I can manipulate and control time, Alucard." The demon hissed. "Time has been kind to you and rewarded you with a fine family." I let out a growl and the demon looked at me with empty sockets. "Ah, a powerful yet beautiful creature….and powerful children to boot….They will make great servants."

"Get your hands off my children." I commanded. "And go back where you came from."

"You want your children; you'll have to weave your way through Reaper Tales…." He smirked, throwing a ball of flashing light rendering us all unconscious.

Meet you fools in StoryHell…..

I know it's short but I promise there'll be more to come.
