AN: After a small hiatus I'm ready to jump back in.

Age: 13

The Dovahkiin sat in his rocking chair cupping his chin, something was bothering him. And the fact he wouldn't say what, annoyed Serana to no end. Occasionally he let out a "hmm" or "mhmmmm" as he thought pondered about. Serana just watched him with eyes that burned into him, but it wasn't like the man noticed.

"Does Marius seem...different to you?" The Dovahkiin blankly asked.

"Is that what you've been thinking about all morning?"

"Just answer the question woman." Serana muttered something under her breath before rearing back to slap the man. He managed to move at the last second avoiding he slap.

"He's thirteen so probably puberty, unless..."

Serana had begun pondering.

"Do you think he may be...hanging out with those Nord kids? I heard they do mind altering substances in the Cloud District."

Serana rolled her eyes, sometimes she wondered how he managed to court her.

"Anyways...what makes you think he's changing?"

"He's unnaturally quiet, I noticed he's been a bit more moody as well, along with him lashing out occasionally. I think he might be-"

"Maturing." She interrupted.

"What?"

"He's just growing up, all kids are moody when they're thirteen. Weren't you?" He took a moment to think that question over.

"When I was thirteen I was training in a military boarding school in High Rock. But I will admit, I was a little wank back then."

"My point exactly, he's just growing up. It's not like he's turning into a monster." She had a point, perhaps he was just being a little irrational, which he wouldn't openly admit.

"Where is Marius anyway?" She asked, only to receive a shrug.

"I dunno."

"What do you mean you don't know?!" Her tone had become increasingly more aggressive with each word.

"He just vanished."

Serana began to twitch and a prominent vain popped appeared on her forehead.

"So you're telling me...our son ran off? Could be fuck knows where. And all you've done is sit around?!"

"I thought he'd come back for lunch at least." It took every fiber in her being to not hop over the table and rip the man's throat out. "Speaking of lunch...what's on the menu de-"

Before he could finish his sentence she lunged forward wrapping her hands around his neck with a iron grip. She began to jerk him back in forth whilst she let out a string of swears that'd make Talos blush. Then the door had opened, the two were frozen still as their son walked through the door. Something about his appearance let Serana know something was very different about him. He was a few inches taller than the day prior, his curly black hair had grown out and was akin to a bush, the boy even had some muscle on him as well. And most of all was the color of his eyes, they were no longer the light shade of brown but a bright orange. Dovahkiin was right, she'd never be caught dead saying it out loud though.

"Hey...son. How're you." Dovahkiin definitely noticed something was up with him.

"Fine." The boy sat down at the table and began to eat a sweet roll.

"So...how was outside?" Unlike her husband, she hid her anxiety quite well.

"Fine, I was hanging out with my friends."

"Have we met these friends?" His father asked.

"No, but you guys will like them. Or at least mom will." Marius blankly stated, the two of them were unsure what the boy meant by that.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked.

"They're kinda like you." Before Serana could pry further, several knocks were placed onto the door. "There they are."

Marius opened the door revealing three pasty pale kids wearing black leather with various spikey accessories. Dovahkiin loved the youth and all, but their fashion trends were something he loathed. He couldn't help but recoil when he saw these "kids" appear at his door. Another thing to note about their appearance, was the fact they looked like forty year old men that want to be fourteen year old kids.

"I take it your Marius' dad, can he come out and...play?" The "lead" pasty kid ended his sentence with a hiss of some sort. At first the guy's words didn't register until he snapped back into reality.

"Actually Marius has his studies to attend to." Serana interjected.

"Ma'am I don't think you realize but me and your son have important business. You may not be aware, but he's a vampire like us."

"I'm very aware of my son being a vampire, but what business does he have with you?" Serana asked.

"It's nothing you need to worry about ma'am, just vampire stuff."

"I beg to differ, I just met you three and now you want to run off with my vampire son. I think I have a right to worry."

After a long period of going back and forth, Dovahkiin had to diffuse the situation by sizing up the three vampires. They took that as a sign to leave, but not before giving some parting words.

"We'll be back for your son you bastards!"

Serana laughed at the kids, she didn't think much of them since she could break them all in half. She was cool up until one of them had to open their mouth.

"Stupid hag." Dovahkiin pulled Marius behind him in an attempt to protect him from the hellish rage Serana was about to unleash.

"Who...are you calling a HAG!" Dovahkiin and Marius held the woman back with everything they had. The woman was eventually burnt out, the kids laughed and stuck up their middle fingers to taunt them.

"You little son of a bitch!" He charged the group of "boys" with his fist clenched, right when he was within grabbing range a blinding light immobilizes him. He let out a string of obscure swears that would cause the Greybeards to scratch their heads. Dovahkiin fell to his knees covering his eyes, Marius and Serana ran to his aid but they were blinded by the same light as well.

"You're a fool to think you could attack us. We aren't your typical Neanderthal vampires, we don't burn in the light." One of the vampire children stated.

"As a matter of fact...we sparkle!" Dovahkiin looked up to see the shirtless kids shining brightly.

"MY EYES! MY EYES!" Dovahkiin exclaimed as thick black smoke rose from the visor of his helmet.

Marius got back up and disappeared into the house. Serana covered her eyes, in an attempt to protect herself from the flash. She growled as she got up from the ground, she brushed the dirt off her expensive looking dress.

"Someone needs to get their fucking kids! Because if these dirt stains don't come off by tonight, I'll rip these fucking sparkly pisswads again."

"Hah! I'd like to see you try-" The lead vampire "child" was cut off by a shining arrow piercing his throat. He gurgled as his body was set ablaze. Everyone turned to see Marius drawing another sunhallowed arrow into Auriel's bow. When he release it, the next arrow ripped through the other vampire's skull. That shot killed the beast instantly, the last vampire scurried off with his tail between his legs.

"Yeah you better run!" Dovahkiin taunted in the complete opposite direction. He hadn't noticed the fact he was still blind. He waved around in an attempt to feel for his son, his hands made their way to Serana's face. Since the boy shared his mother's soft cheeks, he was under the impression it was him. "I'm so proud of you Marius, you've killed your first vampire! This is a cause for celebration, bring out the mead, the festivities, and even the whores!" Dovahkiin found himself on the ground again when something collided into his groin.

Serana cracked her knuckles, and let out a deep sigh.

"Marius, there comes a time in every boy's life when he experiences...chan-"

"Mom, I've known I was a vampire for about two years now." Marius blankly stated.

"Well shit." Serana swore under her breath.

"Who turned off the fucking sun?" Dovahkiin asked from the ground.
