Hello! Been a while since I updated, but I went to one of Richelle Mead's signings for Soundless and all of a sudden I had a great idea. My heart goes out to those in France, especially the ones injured or have injured/dead family members or friends. Disclaimer: I did not write the Vampire Academy series or affiliated characters.
3rdPOV
Rose gently tugs a hat over Katya's head and swaps her keys off the hook before heading to Lissa and Christian's place. It wouldn't really be chilly out if it weren't for the breeze and Rose was positive it was still warm enough that Katya wouldn't be in danger of freezing, but she didn't want to take any chances.
"Excuse me! Excuse me, Guardian Hathaway?"
Rose turns and is faced with a man in a nice suit. Moroi. "Can I help you?"
"Would you mind if I took a look at your little one? Dimitri Belikov is the biological father and you are the biological mother?"
"No. Yes. Why?"
"Well, because she's the first Dhampir-Dhampir child born."
"It's Spirit." Rose responds deadpan before trying to move past the man. He blocks her, causing a growl to rise in Rose's throat."
"I apologize dear, but how is it Spirit."
Rose shifts Katya away from the man and sighs. "When you're Restored from being Strigoi and you're a Dhampir, you are now able to conceive with another Dhampir. Happy?"
"Restored Strigoi are imperious to being turned again, which means the child…" the man trails off and looks at Katya in wonder. "Oh, you really must let me get a vial of her blood. If I can get it tested…this could be progress."
"The only thing you're getting if you ever suggest using my daughter again is a broken spine. And we have progress, the tattoos? Those prevent new Strigoi from being created."
"You won't be able to get everyone!"
"Her blood won't help everyone either."
"Well, who was he?"
"I don't know Liss, a Moroi male. Pale, maybe 6'2", brown hair, blue eyes. Not all that remarkable except for the fact that he didn't get the memo that I stab first and ask later."
Christian snorts. "Everyone knows how…feisty, you are."
"Shut up."––Rose shakes fist Katya wrapped around her fingers and grins down at her.––"Aren't you cute!? Yes you are, yes you are."
Lissa muffles a laugh and Christian chokes after Rose gives him a look.
"I stand by what I said the day she was born: she's adorable."
"She is." Christian sounds reluctant about the admission, but quickly shakes it off.
"Liss, the guy."
"I know. I'll find him. Maybe we can get a sketch artist or something."
Rose grimaces. "It's not just him, though. The more the news of Katya's unusual conception spreads, more doctors and scientists are going to be coming for me and Dimitri and Katya. The man said that she would be impervious to being turned into a Strigoi, that they could use her."
Christian's brow crinkles. "We have Sydney's tattoo, what does he think he can use Katya for?"
"I don't know."
"Everyone is going to want her."
Tada! Kinda surprised I managed to write this considering my headache has not been affected by the Advil I took about two hours ago :(
