A/N: Sorry it's been so long since I updated. I keep forgeting and forgeting. So to make up for it I am posting TWO chapters! Yay!
Disclaimer: I only own Chrissa and Alyssa. The others are Richelle Meade's.
"Little Dhampir! It's been forever…did you miss me?" I turned my head to look at Lissa, who was holding a baby in each arm in her hospital bed. Then I turned to look at Adrian.
"Sure…I guess you could say that," I told him sarcastically.
He started to say something else, but changed his mind and went over to the babies. "Let's see my newest cousins," he said as he reached for Chrissa. Lissa handed her to him. He looked at Chris for a second, and then at me.
"It's a little Rose!" he said, laughing loudly. Chris got mad and started screaming. "She acts just like Rose, too!" he added, handing her to me. She stopped crying as soon as she saw I was holding her. Only Christian and I could make her stop crying.
"They have a bond," he announced out of nowhere. I looked over at him.
"How could you possibly know that?" I asked.
"I can see it. It's like a golden piece connecting them."
"Then why can't you see ours?" Lissa asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe it's a different bond than yours."
"Maybe they have a two-way bond." I said.
"A what?" Christian asked, coming back in from the cafeteria. He handed me my breakfast and I handed him Chrissa. We took turns going down there so Lissa wouldn't be alone. I thanked him and sat down to eat while Lissa filled him in on the newest theory.
We talked about that for a little while longer and then Adrian talked about his time at the Royal Court. A nurse came in and told us that the twins could go home that afternoon. I looked over at the clock. We had three hours until then. I heard Adrian chuckling and looked up. He was staring at Chrissa and Christian who were sitting at the end of the hospital bed and Alyssa and Lissa who were under the covers in the bed.
"What?" I asked, thinking he was having another crazy moment.
"They're auras are the same," he replied. He must have seen our confused expressions because he explained. "Lissa's aura is bright, probably because she's a spirit user. Alyssa's looks just like hers. That makes me think that she's also a spirit user, or will be. And Christian has a darker aura, not as dark as Rose's-hers is black and then some-more like dark shades of oranges and reds. Probably because he's a fire user. Little Rose's looks like his, so she'll most likely be a fire user."
Okaaay. That hadn't been what I was expecting. I looked over to see Lissa's reaction. She wasn't shocked or anything she just looked jealous that she couldn't read auras. Christian looked annoyed, but he had been since Adrian had gotten here.
"That's amazing, Adrian. Now you and Lissa will have another person to talk to about you're weird powers. I'm more worried about Chris throwing a temper tantrum and burning everything down."
