Thanks for the review Jesse Drake! And thanks book-lover-book,Aussiegirl16, and Emmy for the continued suport.

I think I got the brothers in the right order age wise but I don't own the book so if someone could confirm it for me that would be great! Enjoy!


Nicholas

I speak for all my brothers when I say we were shocked to see a young girl taking on 16 Hel-Blar by herself. In a matter of minutes she had 11 of them down but at a price. She was slowing down. None of us saw how it happened just next thing we know she's on the ground getting kicked. I looked at my brothers. We all nodded at each other. Like a flash we all darted out of the trees and jumped into the fight. I raced to the fallen girl.

""What were you THINKING taking on 16 Hel-Blar on by yourself?!" I demanded

Then I looked her over and noticed the blood coming from her shoulder and soaking her clothes.

"Did they scratch you or bite you?" I demanded.

She glared at me. "He scratched me. I'm not stupid! I know better than to let one of them get close enough to bite me!"

"and yet one still scratched you." I mused.

"Hey not everyone's perfect!" She snapped back.

I ripped my shirt and pressed the material against her shoulder. It was then that she started to really get dizzy from the blood loss. She started to sway.

I pushed her down "Take it easy."

"What's your name?" she asked me.

"Nicholas. What's yours?"

"It's…." She passed out before she could finish.

My brothers gathered around me.

"I can't believe that little thing took on 11 Hel-Blar without getting touched! And then she still fought the other five." Connor exclaimed.

"Did one bite her?" Quinn demanded.

I looked at the girl then back up to him.

"No, she said it scratched her."

All my brothers let out a breath of relief. If she had been bit we would have had to kill her, otherwise she would have been turned. We all looked at her.

"Uh guys what's that around her neck?" Logan asked.

I reached around her neck and caught hold of a necklace chain. Gently I lifted it off her neck and took a closer look at it. Only to curse loudly when I read the inscription on the back of the pendant.

"What?" All my brothers exclaimed.

I showed them the necklace. They all gasped and reached for their necks, feeling for the exact same pendant we all wore.

"Why does this girl have a Drake family crest?" Marcus questioned.

"That's not all." I said grimly.

"What else Nicholas?" Sebastian asked.

"On the back it says Solange Rosamund Drake."

We all stared at the girl in shock.

"That's not our little sister. Solange doesn't have blond hair." Duncan said reasonably.

"Yes but who is she and why does she have Solange's necklace?" I asked.

"We need to take her to mom." Sebastian said.

"Agreed." Every single one of us said in sync.

I picked up the girl and we ran back to the farmhouse. As soon as we walked into the door we were bombarded by our wives, sons, and our mom and dad.

"Who is that girl?"

"What happened to her shoulder?"

"Let's all go to the living room and discuss this." My mother said calmly.

Immediately everyone moved for the living room.

"Now boys what's the meaning of this?" my father asked calmly.

Sebastian stepped forward and explained everything.

"Well if she's that dangerous then we need to tie her up and when she wakes up we will question her."

Marcus grabbed a sturdy wooden chair and put it in the middle of the room. I placed the girl in it, then grabbing the rope from Quinn I tied her arms together behind the chair and tied her feet to the legs of the chair.

"Mom there's something else we need to tell you."

"What is it Nicholas?"

I hesitated. "She was wearing Solange's necklace."

Before my mother could say anything the girl stirred and opened her eyes.

Riana

I was sore, very sore. I tried to move my arms only to discover they were tied behind my back. My eyes flickered open. I was in what looked to be a living room. It was filled with dark haired, blue eyes grownups and a couple of kids about my age or older. Everyone gasped when they caught sight of my eyes.

"She has eyes like Solange." Nicholas muttered.

They all continued to stare at me like a rare species.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." I snapped.

"Well aren't you a little spitfire." One of the boys taunted.

I smirked at him. "Boy you have no idea. Now would someone like to explain why I'm tied up?"

"Well if you had an unconscious stranger in you house that took out 11 Hel-Blar without flinching would you leave them untied?" One of the grown ups asked me.

I tilted my head. "Okay fair point. But I didn't ask to be here."

One of the women stepped forward.

"Where did you get your necklace from?" she asked point blank.

I looked down and saw my necklace wasn't hanging around my neck. I looked up and saw the woman dangling it from her finger tips.

"None of your business. Now give it back."

"I said how did you get this necklace?"

"And I said that was none of you business. Now I'd like my necklace back."

"Your necklace? So your name is Solange Rosamund Drake?"

"No."

Everyone in that room gave me a death glare. The woman looked at me and said.

"You don't want to cross me little girl."

"And what are you going to do if I cross you?" I mocked.

One of the younger boys let out a low whistle.

"Lady I don't think you want to go there. That's my grandma and her name is Helena Drake."

My eyes lit up in recognition at the name.

"Scared now?" she asked smugly.

I threw back my head and laughed. Everyone stared at me in shock.

"Oh yes just quaking in my boots! Ma'am you aren't nearly as scary as my mother."

"We'll see about that."

She moved so fast she was a blur. Her hand caught my neck and she slammed the me into the wall. Did I mention I was still in the chair? When I hit the wall the chair exploded behind me. That freed my hands as she pinned me up against the wall and started choking me.

"Now I will ask you one last time. Where did you get that necklace?" She screamed in my face.

I made a strangled sound.

"If you must know it was my mother's." I gasped out.

She dropped me on the floor and backed away from me.

"Mothers? Was?"

I glared at her. "Yes, my mother gave it to me as a birthday present. Therefore it's mine and it was hers. Got a problem with that?"

"You're Solange's daughter?"

"No I'm not, that's why I'm wearing a necklace with my mother's name on it!" I said sarcastically.

A couple of the boys moved towards me. I jumped to my feet without using my hands and got in a fighting position. They stopped and held their hands up in a surrender position.

"Hey take it easy we were just going to help you up." the one that looked to be the oldest said gently.

I growled. "What is it with you people and telling me to take it easy? Good grief!"

A couple of the boys laughed at that.

"Why don't we introduce ourselves so she'll know who we are?" One of the woman suggested.

"Okay I'll start." Helena said.

"I'm Helena Drake."

I nodded. "Kind of got that one."

A man stepped forward.

"I'm Liam Drake, Helena's husband."

Then one of my rescuers stepped forward.

"Sebastian Drake, oldest son of Liam and Helena."

One by one my other rescuers stepped forward.

"Duncan Drake, second oldest son of Liam and Helena."

"Marcus Drake, son of Liam and Helena."

"Quinn Drake, twin of Conner, son of Liam and Helena."

"Connor Drake, twin of Quinn, son of Liam and Helena."

"Logan Drake, son of Liam and Helena."

The last rescuer stepped forward.

"Nicholas Drake, youngest son of Liam and Helena."

Then as one they all said. "We are also brothers of Solange Rosamund Drake."

I looked at them. If what they were saying was true then I was looking at my mom's family.

Then the other women stepped forward.

"Hunter Wild. Quinn's wife."

"Christabel. Connor's wife."

"Isabeau St. Croix . Logan's wife."

Finally the last woman stepped forward.

"Lucy Hamilton. Nicholas's wife."

Finally the boys stepped forward.

The one I guessed as the oldest stepped forward.

"Shawn Drake, son of Quinn & Hunter. I'm 19 years old."

Then another stepped forward.

"Carter Drake, son of Connor & Christabel. I'm 18 years old."

"Jay Drake, son of Logan & Isabeau. I'm 17 years old."

Finally two boys stepped forward.

"I'm Thomas Drake."

"I'm JC Drake."

"We're twins and we're 13 years old. And we're Nicholas & Lucy's sons." They said at the exact same time.

"So what's your name sweet?" Isabeau asked me.

I snorted. "I am anything but sweet. My name is Riana Drake, daughter of Solange Drake."

"How old are you?" Jay asked curiously.

I considered lying and saying I was seventeen.

"And don't lie, we can hear your heartbeat so you're still human. And therefore not over 15." I gave Jay a shocked look.

"What?" He shrugged.

"I'm 15 and I turn 16 soon."

"How soon?" Liam asked.

"Too soon in my opinion."

"You don't want to be a vampire?" Lucy asked.

I just shrugged but gave no answer.

Then the door banged open and in walked an incredibly hot boy.

"Hey Drakes what's happening? Shouldn't you be getting to bed soon? Sun's coming up." then he looked at me.

"Well who are you?"

"Who are you?" I fired right back.

"I asked first."

"Yes but since I asked you and I'm the lady that means you have to answer first."

He frowned. "Can't argue with that. Name's Matthew Anderson but call me Matt. I'm Jay's best friend. Your turn."

"I'm Riana Drake."

He snorted. "Well that's real informative Ms. Drake. How are you related to this dork." He punched Jay on the shoulder.

"Apparently I'm his cousin."

"Apparently?" Matt raised his eyebrows.

"Long story."

Suddenly Jay and Carter both yawned. All the older Drakes started yawning as well.

"Like I said the sun's coming up." Matt said helpfully.

I froze. "Oh crap."

"What?"

"It's morning."

"Yeah so."

"I have to get home before my brothers send out the cavalry."

For the second time the door slammed open.

"Too late for that Riana."

I looked at the doorway to see a women standing in the doorway, glowering at me.

"Uh hi mom."
