CHAPTER 11

"Mom?" Riley leapt to her feet and faced the backdoor.

Duke was standing there with an older version of Riley. The same blue eyes. Same curls. Older features same height.

Serena smiled opening her arms for her daughter who ran across the room and hugged her mother close as if she would disappear if she let go.

Serena looked over Riley's shoulder and smiled at Esme who nodded.

"I've missed you."

"I missed you too baby." Serena said pulling away. "How is your family doing?"

Riley's face lit up as she pulled Serena into the room. "This is Rachel and her mate Quinn." Riley introduced as Rachel and Quinn extended their hands but Serena pulled them both into hugs.

"We hug family." Serena said pulling away.

"This is Santana and her mate Brittany. Be careful with them. A few hybrids kicked their asses pretty good." Riley teased as Santana glared at her but smiled politely at Serena as she hugged her.

"Watch your language young lady." Serena warned.

"Then you have Mike and Tina. You knew Tina's grandpa. She and Mike aren't wolves but they are part of the pack and family." Riley smiled as Tina hugged Serena and Mike wrapped his arms around the two ladies.

"Nice to see you Serena." Tina said pulling away.

"How is your family?" Serena asked.

"Mom and Dad are ecstatic that I am almost meeting my grandfather's status." Tina smiled.

"He would be proud." Serena looked at Mike. "And what can you do?"

"I'm a water elemental." Mike beamed with pride.

"Not many of those around anymore." Serena mused.

"We're making a comeback." Mike said puffing his chest out.

"You certainly are." Serena giggled.

"You remember Sam and his mate Alina?"

"Samuel Evans. You have grown." Serena said hugging him and kissing his cheek. "You are a very beautiful girl Alina, my son in-law is very lucky."

"I feel as if I'm the lucky one." Alina said.

"You know Esme, this is her family, Carlisle, her husband and her children, Emmett and his wife Rosalie, Edward and his husband Jasper and then little Alice and her mate Bella Swan." Riley introduced.

"Very nice to meet you all." Serena looked at Puck. "And who is this young man?"

"As if you don't already know." Riley smirked walking over to Puck wrapping her arm around his waist. "Mom, this is Noah Puckerman. People call him Puck. He is my mate and even though it was rough getting here we did. I'm proud to call him my mate and proud to say I love him. He makes me happy and even though I've made his life hell he still wants me."

"I love you too." Puck beamed kissing the top of her head. "Nothing is going to make me give up on you." Puck said as Serena teared up.

"Oooh. My little girl is all grown up." She wrapped her arms around Puck and Riley then pulled away and poked at his abdomen. "And he's lean and muscular. He is a nice catch."

"I don't remember you being this affectionate and childlike." Riley said.

"Around your father?" Serena asked and Riley laughed.

"You have a point."

Suddenly Serena did a complete one eighty. Her face now serious and leaving no room for funny business.

"You said hybrids attacked Brittany and Santana?" Serena asked then noticing the bracelet around Esme's wrist and the pendent around Riley's neck. "Oh no."

"That's why I brought you here." Duke said. "You said if it got bad you'd come out of hiding."

"I did and just in time." Serena said.

"Do you know how we can beat these hybrids?" Santana asked ready to beat the shit out of the ones that hurt her and Brittany. More for the fact they hurt Brittany.

"Hybrids rely on the fact that they have abilities from the two or three species they are conceived from. If you can get them to isolate one you can strike them in the weakness of that one. It also depends on what species of vampire or werewolf or dragon or whatever they are mixed with." Serena said.

"Dragon?" the group shouted in shock while Riley, Sam and Alina covered their ears with Mike and Tina. They knew about dragons.

"It's in the books!" Serena defended. And she was right. If they had just picked up a book and read they would know this.

Riley snapped her fingers and the book flew from her bag into her hand. "Here you go." She handed it to her mother who smiled.

"I see you have been practicing." She smiled proudly taking the book and turning a few pages. "To kill a dragon you'd need a sword that was made to be indestructible."

"You mean this?" Rose asked lifting up the sword Riley placed down earlier.

"Yes." Serena turned to Riley. "So irresponsible. You don't leave an ancient sword lying around." She scolded as Riley shrank back. "So that takes care of one. It also works on any other kind of mythical creature. The head off any vampire or werewolf can be cut clean off with this. Any creature really." Serena beamed at the sword swinging it once and then a second time as everyone backed up.

"What?"

"How about we talk strategy?" Esme suggested as Serena put the sword down and nodded.

"Excellent idea. We must prepare for when they get here." Serena said.

"Get here?" Alice asked.

"You aren't the only clairvoyant one." Serena winked.

Sorry it is short. Review please.
