A.N. Well I'm back. This story picks up five years after the end of the last story. I suggest reading both the previous stories that lead up to this one. You don'thave to, but you might be confused.

ApPOV:

"Andy?" I asked the blonde that sat beside me.

We were walking out of the movie theater that was located only a couple miles from our home. Andria and I had been best friend since she was born, even though she was a year younger than I.

I watched as her big green eyes turned to face me. I had always loved those eyes but now that she was nearing her 16th birthday, I was noticing her more and more, esspecially her eyes.

"Yes pollo?" She said her emerald green eyes meeting my own electric blue.

"Would you be willing to come to my aunt's marriage with me?" I asked.

"You mean Saffron's?" She asked a crease appearring between his eyebrows.

"Yeah." I said, worried she would decline.

"To Jeremy right?" I nodded, "They already have two girls, why do they bother?" She asked as we slipped into the waiting car.

"I have no idea, no one seems to mind, royals or otherwise. I guess they just want to since the kids go by Jeremy's name." I said slowly, thinking as I spoke.

"I guess, it will make it easier for the girls, esspecially Elizabeth, since she is four and wil soon wonder why she has a different last name than her own mother."

"Anyway, will you go with me?" I asked, a smirk spreading onto my lips.

"Well…I'll have to think about it…." She said turning her head from me slightly. My smirk faultered a bit, Would she turn me down? "Is it like a date?" She asked finally.

I thought about it for a moment, looking at her face, trying to figure out what she wanted the answer to be. Then I answered, "Do you want it to be?"

"Hmm… I'll think about it." She said as she quickly pecked my cheek and jumped out of the car and ran off.

"So is that a yes?" I called after her.

She turned around just befor she turned the corner onto her street, she giggled and I thought I saw a nod. Then she turned the corner and ran off down the street.

I chuckled to myself and began to walk home myself. I passed the street Andria had dissapeared onto. I glanced down the isle of houses and I saw a door open and flood the street with light, I watched a figure slip into the building gracefully and close the door behind it.

Andria. I thought, Why can't I just work up the courage to tell her how I feel?

"Maybe it's because your scared?" A voice said behind me. I spun around, a flame starting to form in my left had, only to come face to face with my two sisters.

I glanced at the older one, my twin. She had black hair that cascaded around her shoulders. She wore a pair of jeans and a simple purple tee-shirt. She was a dhampir, as she was supposed to be. When our mother was pregnant with her and I, she had started to die, I being able to wield spirit magic had brought her back, without even knowing what I had did. It had taken us until we were ten to figure out how to work the bond both ways, she could read my thoughts and I could read hers.

"Artemis! Butt out of my thoughts!" I exclaimed. I hated when she read my mind without my permission.

"But, Pollo! It's fun to read your mind." Ashlyn exclaimed, a pout appearing on her face.

Ashlyn had black hair that fell just like Artemis's hair did, but Ashlyn and I had the same bright blue eyes. She was wearing a matching sweatshirt and sweatpants combo. She was tall and skinny, so even in casual wear she looked like a model (hey, even though she is my sister, doesn't mean I don't know she's considered to be hot). We were also both moroi, which we shouldn't be, according to vampire genetics 101. Since our mother was shadow kissed, just like Artemis and Ashlyn, somehow we ended up as moroi.

Ashlyn and Artemis had gotten into a fight with a strigoi once when the two had snuck out of court. Ashlyn died, and as soon as Artemis had killed off the strigoi, she called me though the bond and I came as fast as I could. I used every ounce of strength to bring my sister back, in fact I used every ounce of spirit, so I could no longer use any of it. This prevented all side effects except for the three-way bond.

"Whatever." I said shaking my head, "Where are you to coming from?" I asked.

"Dan's house. Rissa and Jade were there, too." Ashlyn said.

"Oh… So who are you two bringing to the wedding?" I asked.

"Dean Badica. That royal moroi." Artemis said.

"Dean! Of all people, you choose Dean?" I yelled.

Dean was a year older than us, and he didn't have the best reputation,in fact, I'm pretty sure he knock more than one girl up.

"Hey! Do you think I didn't think this through!" Art yelled at me.

"No! I know you didn't think this through! If you did you would have realized you are a royal! In fact you are the king's daughter! Plus you are a dhampir! All royal moroi want to get into any dhampir'a pants! And here you are; a royal dhampir! You have the title and the genes!" I yelled at her.

She just stood with her had on her hip and tapping her foot. Ashlyn was looking between the two of us as if watching a tennis match.

"You done yet?" She asked, in a deadly quiet voice, then in the same voice, she continued, "I realize this. I also realized something you failed to. First off, mom. Would anyone mess with me if I had her backing me?" She paused, "Second off, I graduated a school for killing six years early. I know how to kill, so I might not even need Mom. And thirdly, have you looked at my neck lately?" She asked and spun around, exposing her neck to me.

There were tons of molnija marks on the back of her neck. Last I had checked there had only been two and the promise mark. "When did this…. You know what? I don't want to know." I said.

"And who are you going with, Ash?" I asked smirking, when she blushed.

All I got in response were a bunch of mumbles. "What was that Artemis?"

Shut Up Art! You already know! Ashlyn thought through the bond towards Artemis, but I also say a face. A face I knew…

"You're going with Danny?" I exclaimed.

I knew that Danny and Ashlyn were best friends and that they had been since they were born, but dating? I never expected this. Danny was like my little brother. So now, my little sister was dating my little brother.

Well this will be interesting.

A.N. Okay I know that this was kind of short, the next one will be longer. Let me know what you all think! I want reviews!
