Destiny had just showed Sire the house the house before she flopped down on the couch. She muffled a laugh as Sire hesitantly stood by the couch looking around. She raised up and pulled him down laying her head in his lap.
"Sorry I'm still new to this." He sighed looking down at her.
"What did I tell you?" Destiny asked.
"That you love me just the way I am." Sire said.
"Correct so if you want to be yourself you can. You just need to make yourself smaller. When we go in public though I need you to be in this form. It's safer because your true form may attract thieves." Destiny said playing with his fingers.
"Okay I can do that." He said laying his head back.
"Good because it's also safer since she hasn't registered you yet." Tori said descending the stairs. She was rolling up her sleeve and staring at her tattoo. She smiled as she twisted her arm looking it over. It's been a while since she's had a good look at it.
"What does that mean?" Sire asked confused.
"That it's dangerous for certain people to know you're not registered yet. They might try to take you for themselves." Jade said as she came down the stairs next. "And I don't feel like going around the world to save you honestly. The way you were summoned is one of an old practice and we don't use it much anymore."
"So where are we going?" Destiny asked her adoptive mothers.
"To visit our parents and let them know everything that we know?" Tori asked looking at Jade for conformation.
Jade nodded kissing her cheek. "Then we need to get Sire registered at the school with Lane."
"This'll be the first time that I meet your parents." Destiny said a bit nervously.
"Hey relax they'll love you." Jade said moving her hair behind her ear. "They always say how they want grandkids. And now they get two."
"Two?" Destiny questioned confused.
"We're talking about Sire of course." Tori said grabbing her keys.
"But I'm older than all of you." Sire said confused.
Jade shrugged walking out the house. "What does that matter?"
"What she means is you and Destiny are a packaged deal now so, everyone is going to welcome you two the same." Tori explained as Destiny walked Sire outside.
"We're not flying?" Sire asked as they were headed next to the thing Jade was leaning on.
"No we don't always fly." Destiny said trying to find a way to explain it to him. "Sometimes we take cars, planes, trains, buses, or other methods of transportation."
"Um alright what do I do?" Sire asked as Destiny opened the door.
"You just get in and I'll buckle your seatbelt. It's for your safety." Destiny said rubbing his back. She smiled softly as Sire made no move to get in the car. "Hey relax I would never let anything bad happen to you. You know that right." She spoke softly still rubbing his back. Sire nodded gulping quickly. "Good now I need you to trust me and get in the car Sire." Sire whined as he slowly got in the car. "Thank you." Destiny said closing the door behind herself and then buckled him in.
"I won't go to fast Destiny." Tori said already sensing what she was about to be told. "Not until he gets use to it that is."
Jade laughed as Destiny reached forward and hit her aside the head. Tori only smiled as Jade turned up the radio and started singing. Destiny held Sire's hand and explained different things to him as they drove. She was beyond grateful that they had time for this. She could only hope that more moments like this would come up sometime soon.
Tori was embraced by both her parents as soon as she step foot in the house. "What's with all this?" Tori said making no move to push them away.
"They thought you weren't talking to them anymore since you graduated." Trina supplied for her sister as she got up from the couch. "Jade."
"Spawn of the devil. Wait no never you're nothing like him." Jade growled eyes flashing golden.
"Jade." Tori warned as her parents let her go. Jade threw her hands up in surrender as she headed for the back door. It would be best to have this type of conversation outside. Destiny took Sire's hand and followed Jade out.
"What was that about?" Mrs. Vega asked her daughter.
Tori smiled motioning towards the back yard. "That's what we came to talk to you about and then we're off to Jade's parents' house." Tori waited until her family was seated for her to begin the story. Then Jade and Destiny traded off on their ends of the story.
"Wow little sis what are you going to do next? Go see your birth dad?" Trina asked.
Tori nodded. "Yeah the hundred years are up so I think it would be a good idea."
"I'm so glad my girls are ok." Mrs. Vega said cupping Tori's cheeks.
"Mom stop it. Destiny needs it more than I do. She almost died." Tori said pulling the hands off her face.
"Oh no I'm fine now Sire healed me." Destiny said waving her grandmother away.
"I've never seen an old time spell work." Mr. Vega said looking Sire. "Sire may I see your true form?" Mr. Vega asked excitedly.
"Dad no calm down." Tori said rolling her eyes.
"Don't tell me to calm down. Did I tell a certain someone to calm down when she almost burnt down the house after finding out Jade was a Raiju wolf? Huh Victoria?" Her father asked.
Destiny and Jade laughed at her embarrassment. "Sire you wouldn't mind would you? He has a feline true form as well just not as big." Tori asked the familiar.
"Sure I wouldn't mind." Sire said smiling as he followed Mr. Vega to the open yard. Mr. Vega gated into his true form an Ovinnik as soon as he got away from his family some. Sire followed suit shocking both parents.
"You're huge!" Mr. Vega said jumping around him before they started playing.
"Jade would you be able to show me you Raiju form? I'm very interested in see it." Mrs. Vega asked her.
"Sure Mrs. V." Jade said smiling at her. She went to the other end of the yard as to not disturb the two. She gated into her regular true form and shook out her fur. She gated again and Mrs. Very gasped.
"It's not as dangerous as it looks." Jade said as Mrs. Vega walked over.
Mrs. Vega gated into western dragon form. "Oh I'm sure." Jade let the huge head nuzzle her side. "Fly with me?" She asked flexing her wings.
"Yeah." Jade said gating back to her regular form as the dragon flew off.
"You must have a lot on your mind to not join in on the fun." Destiny said to Tori as she watched the other to fly away.
"You're one to talk." Tori said bumping her with her shoulder. "You love to fly."
"You look like you could use some company." Destiny said. "So what's on your mind?"
"What's not on my mind?" Tori sighed. "Everything keeps floating in and out of it. You guys, everything's that's happened, my dad, Beck, what's going to happen after all that. I just what to marry Jade and not always have someone trying to kill us."
Destiny nodded. "I know what you mean."
"Oh do you now?" Tori smirked raising an eyebrow.
"Yup." Destiny rolled her eyes. "You don't think I know that I'm too young to be having worries like this? I almost lost you and Jade in like one crazy ass one day. I am simply human got caught up on the crazy world wind that is you guys' life. I made a choice to become a spell caster and got an awesome familiar from so other world or dimension. I a simple human puts her life on the line every second by being with the two of you." Destiny had no idea her voice had become higher and higher. Tori was at a loss of words. "But! I wouldn't have it any other way. I remember thinking you two were bat shit crazy for believing me at the police station when no one else did. I haven't regretted doing one thing since meeting you two." Destiny whispered before she looked at Tori and smiled. Tori just kept looking at her. "Tori I believe we'll figure everything out."
"Yeah and we'll start with my dad first." Tori said nodding as she looked up at the sky as a wolf and a dragon danced.
"Your parents' house is seriously nice." Destiny said as they pulled up to Jades parents' house.
"That's one way of putting it." Tori mumbled and Jade punched her in the arm. "Kidding."
Jade rolled her eyes as she got out the car. "Remember don't be nervous and that they'll love you. The both of you." Jade said taking Tori's hand.
"Alright." Destiny said as she followed them to the door. "Ready?" She asked Sire.
Sire shrugged. "I don't share the worries of approval as you little one." Sire said flicking her nose with his tail. Destiny grumbled as she stood behind the two older girls and rubbed her nose.
"Jade!" Mr. West said as he opened the door.
"Hey dad." Jade said giving him a hug.
"Come in! Come in!" He said waving them in as he yelled for his wife.
"What's with all the yelling?" Mrs. West said coming down the stairs.
"Jade! Tori!" Mrs. West said hugging her daughter then Tori.
"What brings you guys by?" Mr. West asked wrapping an arm around his wife's waist.
"Well I found out about my birth parents and I wanted you to meet two very special people in our lives." Jade said as Tori pushed Destiny and Sire in front of them.
"Uh hi I'm Destiny and is Sire my familiar." Destiny said pointing to herself then to Sire.
"We took Destiny in and adopted her." Tori explained to Jade's parents.
"Oh honey!" Mr. West said stepping forward and hugging the two new additions to his family.
"You are adorable and you look very strong and wise." Mrs. West said joining in the hug as she talked to Destiny then to Sire.
"Thank you." Sire said smiling enjoying the pets that he was getting.
"I didn't think we would be getting grandkids so soon." Mrs. West said looking at her daughter and girlfriend.
"Yeah well we didn't think we would be getting any of the things that have been coming into our lives either but they happened." Tori said.
"Baby." Jade said calmly.
"Sorry sorry." Tori sighed.
"What's going on?" Mr. West asked.
"Why don't we take a seat first?" Jade suggested with a smile. Her parents nodded and they all made their way into the living room. "Destiny my mom can read minds is it ok if she reads yours?" Jade asked the younger teen.
"That's so cool." Destiny said looking at Mrs. West amazed.
"I ask that you do not read mines. You can get all the information from Destiny's mind." Sire said liking the way he kind of sunk into the couch.
"Ah yeah you can read mines." Destiny said remembering she didn't give an answer.
Mrs. West laughed as she took her husband's hand. "This won't take long." She said closing her minds.
"Can your dad do anything cool?" Destiny asked Jade.
"No he's a regular human just living it up in the supernatural world." Jade said snickering in thought.
"That's kind of dangerous isn't it?" Destiny asked.
"Not really because even knows not to get on the West's bad side. Nobody wants to risk making my mom or me angry." Jade explained.
"You are pretty feisty." Tori chuckled.
"A lot has happened." Mrs. West said looking at her daughter sadly.
"But we're both happy that you all are ok." Mr. West said. "I'm happy you found out the truth about your parent Jade. We wanted to tell you the whole truth but we never knew it all. And that's what you deserved."
"I thought you and your family would be a lot friendlier with each other." Destiny said as they were pulling away from the house.
"What do you mean? We are very close." Jade frowned looking back at her. Tori was trying really hard not to be rude and laugh.
"I just thought it would be more like Tori's parents. There was nothing wrong with it thought because I liked it there to." Destiny said thinking Jade would still probably yell at her.
"Well you liking them is all that matters."
"What does the registration process consist of?" Sire asked.
"Um I think paperwork and maybe Lane will look you over and make sure you're healthy." Tori said taking a guest.
"That doesn't sound to nerve wrecking."
"I know the both of you must be tire. After this we can go back home and take naps and get food on our stomach." Jade suggested to the grumpy familiar.
"That's fine I guess." Sire said looking out the window.
Destiny was so happy when they finally pulled up to the school.
"This is the school you speak of?" Sire asked Destiny as everyone got out the car.
"Yeah." Destiny said with a smile.
"Did you already call Lane?" Tori asked as she held the door open for them.
"Yeah he said to meet him in the gym." Jade said leading the way to the gym.
"It'll give you more room in your true form." Destiny explained for Sire. Sire nodded as he followed behind them. Lane smiled when they walked in.
"I've got to tell you I was very surprised when I got you phone call Jade. You just manage to keep them coming." Jade laughed.
"Well this time you can blame Elk and Destiny because I had nothing to do with this." Jade stepped aside so Destiny could be seen.
"Elk is always a great honor in everything that he does." Lane said rolling his eyes. "Congratulations are in order." He said holding his hand out for Destiny. "Only a few can pull off what you did and survive."
"Thank you but it was all Sire." Destiny said gesturing towards her familiar.
"Ah yes." Lane said holding out his hand for Sire. Sire only stared at it though. "Alright well there are only a couple of papers you need to sign." Lane said handing her a short stack on paper work.
"Sire if you please come this way." Lane said walking out to the center of the room. "You can turn into you true form whenever you're ready." Sire nodded and gated. He stretched out wings and legs as he yawned. "Amazing. Beautiful really." Lane said circling the huge creature. "We haven't seen you kind for a very long time. Leave it Elk to bring one of you back."
"Yes Earth hadn't been in our journey for ages now." Sire said nodding.
"What have you done about training?" Lane asked curious.
"We have practiced a little but I have not asked her yet." Sire said looking down at the human.
"I see." Lane said pacing as he thought. "Two days should be enough. That's like what sixty years on your planet right?" Sire nodded. "It is not that I think she can't do it but can her mind do it and come back and live another sixty years and more."
"I understand but for her to become an expert with you. It'll have to be done." Sire huffed as he looked over and watched Jade and Tori help Destiny fill some stuff out.
"Hey Sire what did you and Lane talk about when I was doing paper work?" Destiny asked as she laid down with him.
"You haven't really spoke since we've gotten back. It feels like something is wrong." Sire sighed. "We need to talk. I've been thinking about this since our bond was made."
"Ok what is it?" Destiny asked worried. "For you to become a great spell caster and fighter you need to come to my world and train." Sire said. He back tracked as her eyes grew wide. "Time passes differently on my world than it does here. So we would only be gone for about two days really."
Destiny thought it over. "Just two days and we can come back?" Sire nodded.
"What's the catch?" Destiny glared at him.
"You will grow older while you are there but when you return you'll be the same age as when you left. You'll remember everything from my world." Sire sighed again. "I'm worried about it being too much time on your mind."
"Can I think about it some more before I give you an answer?"
"Yes of course little one. I don't want to rush you." Sire said nuzzling her. Destiny hugged him close as she willed her thoughts away so she could go to sleep and not think about this.
