Shy's POV
Walking home, I remembered the principal's words.
So my vampire side would awaken whenever someone said something to me that made us( mostly her) angry, and I could transform back when Leigh kissed me..
And after all that fighting, I made a new friend, and I could stay at Sweet Amoris High!
Rosalya and Leigh told the principal they would both protect me throughout my days, and whenever they could.
Could you hurry up and get home already? I'm starving!
I looked down at my necklace and blushed.
R-right...
I ran the rest of the way and closed the door behind me.
"Well, I just finished wrapping your birthday gifts! Did you have a good day?"
My mother walked up to me to give me a hug.
"Uh, hi mom. And yes.. school was.." Weird, wild... what else? "..fine."
She handed me a large pink box with a white ribbon on it, and I took it and smiled.
"Thank you mom."
"There's... something in it that's from your father." she said as we sat down on the couch.
I stopped. "M-my father? You're kidding..."
"Go ahead, open it."
I opened the large box to see a cute white, stuffed rabbit, a headband with large pink bunny ears, a new sundress, and a letter that had a long name on it.
I picked up the letter.
To: Shyann Lucine Summers – Open when you are 16 years old..
"You're father had so many names picked out for you that you almost sounded like a princess.. so I let him name you.. He left this letter the day you were born, and that was when he disappeared."
I was silent, staring at the letter.
"I was devastated when your father left, but I always believed he had his reasons, and I don't think he was being selfish, either... Elio wasn't that kind of man.."
My mother hugged me tightly, and I hoped she wasn't crying.
"Go ahead and go to your room, it's none of my business." she smiled, and waved me off as I stood up to walk upstairs.
Still staring at the letter and holding all of my things, I opened the door to sit on my bed.
I lay on my stomach as I ripped the letter open, and excited, I began reading.
To my daughter, Shyann Lucine Vespera Luna Summers
My eyes widened a little at the name. I couldn't believe that was mine!
I continued reading.
So you are finally sixteen years of age, and you may have noticed certain "things" have started happening to you.
I apologize for the sudden life changing events and all of the secrets that are being revealed, but I wanted you to stay clueless for as long as possible about the me and vampire world.
I disguised myself as a human in order to meet your mother, and we soon fell in love.
I felt guilty, however, to keep such a secret from her, but it was the only thing I could do to protect her.
As a king in a vampire kingdom, I was aware that falling in love with a human was prohibited, and I broke the rule, and your mother even became pregnant.
I stayed with her, and had to hide from the vampire world so they wouldn't find you both.
You were special because it was considered impossible for a half human vampire child to be born, and you proved everyone – even me wrong when you were born absolutely perfect, nothing was wrong with you.
But, I sensed the power that had been passed down to you, and even as a baby, you were almost as strong as me.
The longer I stayed with you,unfortunately, the more dangerous and the more obvious it was where you and your mother were.
The other vampires would surely try and destroy you both when they spotted you and saw what I had done, so I had to leave.
I'm so very sorry that you had to grow up without a father, Shyann. I regret every day I can't see you.
But I want you to know that I am trying everything I can to convince the other Vampire Royals that humans aren't as they seem, and that we can live among them peacefully, which is what the others at Sweet Amoirs High are trying to prove as well.
My goal now is for you and your mother to live with me in my kingdom and to be treated as the royalty you both are.
I swear to you that I will do my best to make sure you and your mother are known as the Queen and Princess of the Summer Vampires.
I'm not sure what will happen when your vampire side awakens, or how powerful you will be when that time comes, but please be safe, and protect your mother until I get back.
P.S. We will meet again someday. You have my word on that.
-King Eliodoro of the Summer Vampires
A.K.A – Your Father
I wiped away a few tears that had fell while I was reading, and read the letter over and over.
When I closed my eyes, I could see that "she" looked about as sad as I was.
So that's the story.
Yes.
I closed the letter and placed it back in the envelope, and I turned it around to see that the symbol I had seen on "her" several times was on the back of it.
This must be a symbol for father's kingdom.
Hmm, about that long name.. I don't want to be called "Shyann's other side," so why don't you all just call me Lucine?It's our second name, after all.
That sounds better, Lucine.
Her laugh echoed through my head, before we both yawned at the same time.
I'm beat!
Me, too...
I crawled in bed for a nap, and heard Lucine's light snoring just as I began to dream.
