"Lissa! Zey!" Andre screamed as he chased his younger sisters. The twins giggled and dodged his arms as he swung at them. Even at only five years old, the girls were still quicker than seven-year old Andre. "Not fair!" He seethed as they once again got away with stealing his candy.
"Aw come on 'Dre." Lissa whispered as she handed him back the sweets. Zelda shook her head at her twin's weakness and ran outside.
"Zelda. Are you teasing your brother again?" Her mother asked with a knowing smile. Zelda smiled back up at her mother, icy blue eyes gleaming as she held up a chocolate bar. Rhea laughed and ruffed her daughter's downy blonde hair. "Go enjoy your treat." She told the girl softly.
"Okay mommy." Zelda replied running down towards the beach with a wide smile. Eric shook his head at his wife and followed the little girl, just in time to hear her scream. "DADDY!" The girl cried out, as she wiggled in the arms of a strigoi.
"Let her go!" One of the multiple guardians yelled, as he ran towards his charger's child. The strigoi laughed and fire instantly surrounded the house, efficiently cutting the horrified family off from their youngest member.
"Mommy!" Zelda wailed, her blue eyes wide and wild with fear.
"Zeldie!" Lissa screamed as she tore across the yard. Her blonde hair flew behind he is a wave as she tried to reach her twin.
"Lissie!" Zelda screamed as the strigoi began to calmly walk away with her. She cried loudly, her sobs echoing across the beach. The Dragomirs sobbed as they disappeared, swallowed up by the darkening sky
