Dinami

I was nervous. I hadn't seen my friends nor my family since I made the change a week ago. Things would be different now. I hoped that jace wasn't there; he would have heartbreak when he saw aspis. Aspis whom was the only male I could think of. It's as if all my wants for jace had disappeared the moment I met aspis's eyes. I knew my parent's wouldn't be there but I knew that Dan and Elvin would be there though.

Sons of Erebus waited outside of the doors and a few walked forward. "fledgling allow us to come with you" one of them said after saluting us. "why?" I asked curiously. "in the recent events ate has requested that those whom are an asset must be protected" the son of Erebus replied. I sighed and dragon nodded "only two" he added as we walked through the door and into the great hall.

I sighed as I looked around trying to spot out Dan and Elvin. I knew they would be here but what I saw instead was a shock. My mother and my sister stood rather uncomfortably in the mass of parents and vampyres and fledglings alike. "oh no" I whispered stepping back. "what?" dragon asked from behind me. "my mother and sister are here" I whispered back terrified.

"dinami come on move forward" dragon replied pushing me forward. I trudged over to them knowing I had to see them. "hey mom, hey Lisa" I said softly. They turned and looked at me and my escort with wide eyes. "Anna" my mother said stepping forward. "hey mom, um I guess I should introduce you, dragon this is my mom, and aspis this is my mom, mom this is dragon and aspis" I said pointing from person to person. My mom watched how close aspis and dragon where and then gasped.

"do not tell me you have gone to polygamy, I know vampyres are messed up but never that messed up" she gasped her whole face going white. I could almost feel dragon's whole face turn red with anger and I could hear aspis hide a laugh with a cough. I had the urge to smack them both. "mom no I-"my words where cut off. "ma'm may I be so kind to further introduce myself, I am your great uncle dragon Lankford" dragon said sternly moving in front of me.

"Lankford? That's my maiden name" she said eyeing dragon. "yes because I am related to you by blood" dragon repeated. "but, vampyres don't live that long, nobody can live that long, only god can live that long" she said nervously. "vampyres live centuries, just for your knowledge" dragon replied. I felt my whole body sink when my mother's face changed. "and that one beside you, is this a cousin?" she asked glaring aspis down. "um no, this is my err" I looked at aspis with a confused look.

"I am simply a very good friend" he replied offering his hand. She took it expecting a shake but instead he kissed the top of her hand. She made an odd noise as if his lips had burned her hand and pulled it away as fast as she could. "very good friend? Wow you're already here for a week and your acting like vampyres. Like a slut" my mother said looking cross. "mom!" I gasped. "mom cut it out, there is nothing wrong with vampyres" Lisa snapped.

"thank you Lisa" I replied. "no problem Anna" she said back smiling softly. Good old Lisa I could always count on her. "dinami I hate to be rude but is that another friend over there?" aspis asked. I turned and watched as two new faces popped up. "dinami?" my mom asked. "oh yea when you become a fledgling your allowed to change your name, my name is dinami now" I replied as Elvin and Dan met us.

"ANNA!" Dan boomed hugging me tightly. "hey guys" I said grinning widely. "meet my uncle dragon and my very good friend aspis" I said as they had their turn hugging me. "oh and my name is dinami now just a heads up, and looks like my mom is going to explode in about 3,2" before I could say one my mother did explode. "YOUNG LADY HOW DARE YOU, CHANGE YOUR BIRTH NAME TO SOMETHING SO OUTRAGEOUS, STENGTH? WOMAN ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO HAVE STRENGTH, WE ARE SUPPOSE TO ALLOW OUR MEN THE STRENGTH, LISA GRAB YOUR STUFF WE ARE LEAVING AND NEVER RETURNING" my mother shrieked.

Jace

Jace was busy staring at the hottest girl he had ever laid eyes on. Yea Anna was majorly hot but danmit this girl. He barely noticed when the screaming started. "MOM CALM DOWN" someone yelled. Jace turned to see Anna standing nose to nose with her mother. Ok now that statement could go back, Anna was officially the hottest girl he had ever laid eyes on. Her hair was longer and thicker and her eyes had intensified in color. She looked more graceful and she looked smaller.

Maybe she was smaller or it didn't help that there were four massive vampyre males standing around her. Jace stepped forward through the crowd. "what is going on? Anna are you ok?" jace asked. His brown eyes shone with confusion as Anna's face twisted. Guilt, her face had guilt on it, pain and guilt. Everyone was silent. "NOW ANOTHER MALE COMES FORTH, YOUR DISGUST ME WHORE" her mother screamed striking her.

Jace was real fast to step between them but found himself bouncing back as the four male vampyre around her all suddenly appeared defensively around her. A blonde male with massive muscles held her to his chest while another shorter blonde male stood in front of her snarling. The other two where flanking the blonde one. Elvin and Dan watched in horror as a small female vampyre stepped into the chaos.

"MOM I CANT BELIVE YOU DID THAT" Lisa sobbed. She pushed forward to her sister and ran her hands over her hair. "what is going on here" a cold stern voice asked. "ask my whore of a daughter, you see how the males surround her" her mother replied. "dinami? A whore, I think not, in my week of knowing her the only male I have seen her as much as look at was her own uncle dragon Lankford and her warrior protector aspis" the small vampyre replied. "he is no longer my uncle, he is my father and I bet you he will be a better parent then you and dad together" Anna hissed.

She looked danm scary and jace could have sworn he saw sparks flying around her. "she is a useless creature of darkness now, she has nothing to be proud of, she should be dead" her mother hissed back. "dead? Dinami should be getting hero worship, she saved the life of many fledglings just last night, your daughter has been uniquely gifted by our goddess" she replied. "she has been touched by darkness!" her mother insisted.

Another vampyre broke through the circle and by now everyone was watching in shock. This girl had brown hair and a nasty look on her face. "listen woman I don't know who you think you are, but nobody fucking slaps my friend like that" she said seizing her mother up. "I am her mother get the hell out of my face you demon" Anna's mother spat. "you think I'm a demon? Wait till you piss off dinami, no mother should ever hit or talk to their daughter that way" the girl replied.

"I am done here, Lisa come now, we shall no longer stick around such blasphemy" her mother hissed. "no mom" Lisa said crossing her arms over her chest. "what did you just say?" she hissed back. Lisa stepped forward "I am nineteen you don't control me, don't expect me home anytime soon either, bye" Lisa said in her face. Anna's mother turned red faced and left the room. Jace turned to Anna whom was in utter shock. He pushed through the people in his way and hugged Anna.

"hey Anna I missed you" he whispered into her ear. She pulled away. "jace my name is dinami now and I think I should tell you something" she replied. "what's that baby?" jace asked. "i.i.i I think we should end our relationship, I'm sorry" she replied chewing her bottom lip. Jace blinked for a moment and then nodded "yea I know you need to be with your own kind, I still love ya though, you will always be my friend dinami" jace replied. Dinami nodded and then leaned back into the arms of the same male vampyre.

"well I think we should cut this visiting session short for dinami, dinami due to last night's events I think you should go back to sleep" the short vampyre said. Dinami nodded "yes lenobia" she replied. Then she disappeared. Melvin and Dan had sick looks on their faces. "we need to do something about her mother" Dan finally said. "no we just need to make sure my mom doesn't get near her again" Lisa said glaring at them.

"what's wrong with your mother anyway?" jace asked. "she was brainwashed seriously when she was a kid" Lisa replied. "I'm glad dinami is here, hey what's the big issue with dinami as a name? I like it! It fits her way better then Anna" Dan said. Lisa sighed "dinami means strength in Greek, my mother thinks that woman should never be strong" Lisa replied. "but that is so her, dinami, I like it because she is strong" Melvin replied.

"I agree, oh well now that my mom is totally against her it means I will have to send her some money" Lisa said shaking her head. "well wait, what if we open a bank account and each put fifty bucks in it a month? I think the three of us can afford that" Melvin suggested. "yea we can good idea Mel" Lisa said. They nodded and then all left together.
