Kevin's body ached as another cough ripped it's way though his mouth, he barely managed to hide the sound despite the fear he felt. Ever since Zoey turned into a Vamprye ( The Lucky Bitch), they had freaked out about even the slightest cold or cough they had. Kevin had allergies, always had, so this was a pain in the ass. Not that anyone seemed to care, Their Grandma was all about Zoey, Mom was all about John, John was all about his ego and religion, thier sister was all about the nearest penis she could impale herself on, and of course Zoey was a vamprye but even if she wasn't Zoey was deeply entitled and didn't really give a damn about him. He was alone, utterly alone...

" Stop Brooding, Kevin." He Mumbled to himself, as he was want to. " Your not Sasuke Uchiha or Kakashi, we are not him." The Duck Haried Brooder popped in his head, from one of his favorite Animes, making him relax and sigh. Naturally his Mother and John failed to notice, too busy ranting about Zoey and Vampyres. ' Why are they even going to see Zoey, why are they taking me? John Hates Zoey, Vampyres and anything that isn't him... and mom doesn't have her own opinion. They are just going to make a scene... why am I even here? Oh yeah, I caught John sleeping with my baby sitter... I wonder how long I can use that against him?'

He doubted it would be very long, John would find something to threaten him with... or would remember that mom was too weak and obsessed with John to really believe any slander against him. Still, he could enjoy the power while it lasted, even if meant he had to visit his stupid sister.

" Kevin, we are almost here, I want you on your best behavior. No Talking to the Vampyres, without me around, and do not eat anything they give you. I don't trust them." John's fake, Fatherly tone made Kevin want to puke, but kept himself quiet and just nodded. He had no interest in actually taking to John, that would be a waste of his time and just make the man more angry. He didn't feel like doing that...John was scary when he was angry, he hadn't actually Hit Kevin but he knew that it could happen one day. John was the kind of person...

As they exited the Car, Kevin was amazed by how beautiful the School was, even the Nude Statue of Nyx that John scoffed at and called a demon's tool. The place smelt like food and horses and the Herbs his Grandma burned at her house. Speaking of his Grandma, she hustled behind them all a flutter about seeing Zoey, it made his heart hurt. Why was Zoey so special that Grandma had to ignore him?

Suppressing his anger and hurt, he turned his gaze to the collection of people ahead of him... and gasped. They were all so beautiful, their delicate Saphire marks scrawled into beautiful patterns. One women, with Grey eyes and the body of a dancer, had knots with Horses rearing around Celtic marks. Another had vines and birds, and another had Dragons blowing fire into their crescent. His favorite was the most dramatic, a filigree tattoo covered in Runes, swirling in contrast against Dark Olive skin... Wait, he recognized that skin. " Zoey's marks are beautiful..." He didn't care that John Scowled, that his mom looked disgusted, and that his Grandma Proudly smiled at him... it was true, Zoey's marks were perfect. Not quite as Dramatic as a normal Vampyre Tattoo's, but just as beautiful. It reminded him vaguely of Silk patterns he saw on a women's scarf, he wanted to draw them...

His Eyes shifted to the rest of Zoey, and he almost gasped. She seemed different, for one her Olive skin almost glowed with a sheen that was blinding, her already thick Jungle of Hair was even Thicker and shinier, her eyes were a bold contrast of Green and Brown that made the Artist in him scream out of pure jealousy. Zoey had always been beautiful, that much was obvious to anyone with eyes, but now she was like a Living Aphrodite... and honestly she outshown everyone in the room bar the Lady just behind her. Much like Zoey all of her features were extreme, her Forest Green eyes and Aburn Hair, her Wavey Tattoos and perfect lips, all melding perfectly with her Creamy Literally glowing Skin. If they somehow had a child, their child would be worshipped as a God or Goddess of beauty even in Modern times...

' Yeah, I need to stop reading to much Mythology... damn you God of War for getting me interested.' He suddenly was forced to bite back cough that racked his body and made his vision blurry. His Parents didn't notice, but Grandma did, she had a knowing proud look in her eyes that made him angry. She wasn't allowed to feel proud, she never gave a damn about him before! Besides, why the hell would she be proud of him anyway, all he had done is struggle to choke out a cough?

Ignoring her weirdness, he turned and gave Zoey a Smile... when he was hit with a nostalgia, he hadn't seen her in a month, even talked to her, so why would he feel happy about seeing her. Ugh he hated feeling, it was so confusing..." Hi Zoey... Are, uh, are you enjoying yourself here?" John's glare made him cringe but he didn't care. Even if his current knowledge about John's infidelity failed, he had a few other tricks that would keep John in his place. Such as his trips to sniff his sister's panties, or porn collection he had hidden in the Garage. Really his options were not as Limited as one might think.

His Sister Smiled, blinking at him for a moment and released their grandmother ( when had they hugged, he really needed to get out of his fantasy world sometimes, he missed so much!) long enough to give him an awkward hug. " I love it hear, I've made a lot of friends." It was clear, from her tone, that she felt as awkward as he did. That made him happy, it was her fault for isolating herself from him and Sarah!

" No Hug for your Mother?" John's words had a strange effect on them both, in perfect synchronization, they gritted their teeth then scowled at him with the same annoyed expression. It was so similar that Grandma giggle and their Mom gasped, while John actually recoiled for a moment. Zoey was intimidating when she wanted to be, something he knew she never realized.

" Ugh" Another cough racked him, letting him miss the battle between then. To be honest, he could only hold it back so long, but eventually he collapsed and started to hack up blood, so the argument stopped and a cold hand rubbed his back and he struggle to stay concious. " What is wrong with me..." He managed to push the coughs away long enough to hear the most beautiful voice coldy geld John ( Metaphorically speaking... unfortunately.)

" This child is grievously sick, call an Ambulance if you must but I am versed in all forms of healing and have mastered them over the last Century. I will ensure he survives, I do not care if you are his family he will live while he is in my home." Energy smashed all over him, power that made his skin tingle. Opening his eyes, he managed to focus on the voice, it was the Women that was as beautiful as Zoey. She was a glowing warrior, a goddess of children that would rip John into Nothing if he said the wrong thing.

His stupid stepfather snarled, actually snarled at her. " He will be given to God, not tainted by your evil!"

" Shut the fuck up John." Everyone gasped, looking at Kevin who leaned against the Women's large breasts. " I don't believe in your God, And Vampyres are known for having high standards, I'll take my shots with her..." He tried to stand, swaying lightly and leaning against the women who rubbed his chest, taking the pain away.

Grandma stepped in front of John, who made a threatening move ( Ignoring his sobbing mother). It didn't matter that Grandma was tiny, and old, she gave what had to be the single most intimidating stare he had ever seen. " Back off Sooli, you have no sway on this child, not even legally. He is Vampyre, or... he will be." Grandma held her head high, nodding to someone that he couldn't see right away but assumed was a vampyre...

He was right of course, the person was beautiful and mysterious, and in his current state was hard to see. " Kevin Heffer, Night has Chosen thee, Thy Death Shall be their Birth. Night Calls to thee,Harken to her sweet voice, Your Destiny awaits you at the House of Night." Pain erupted around his forehead, and Darkness took him.

Neferet hadn't expected this, Zoey's younger Brother was a Fledgling, a powerful one like her. Even before he was Marked, in that brief moment, his Mind was difficult to read. He had a strong mind, one warped by a lot of Pain... Misery that went past went Living with a fool like that Pig John. That man was all she hated about Men, about Humans, distilled into a person... his wife was the same, but in reverse, a weak minion with no ability to make her own opinion.

It pleased her, knowing that she had access to someone who could be used to break Zoey, should the little Chit become a true threat... emotional blackmail was a favorite of hers, it caused so much delicious agony... the mere thought of it brought her immeasurable pleasure...

Under the guise of evaluating the boy, Neferet gazed upon his. Despite only being Fourteen, he had the marks of a Powerful Man. Standing at Five Feet Five Inches, the boy was tall for his age. His Hair was the exact shade Zoey had, just as thick and beautiful. His skin was a beautiful Olive a few shades lighter then Zoey's, and like his sister he had a strong, Long Nose.. unlike her he had freckles, clearly from his Deadbeat father. His Jaw was strong, going well with his Long face. However his are really what caught her interest, they were Green, not Forest like hers, but more like Jade. Really, he was a beautiful child who could become a beautiful man...

" Child, how do you feel?" She didn't really care but she had to keep up pretenses...

He took in several breaths, before shuddering. " Good... Much better... Much, Much Better..." He stood, turning to her fully, ignoring his sobbing mother and sneering stepfather. " I read some where, after Zoey turned, that we get to chose our names... is that true?"

Eager to manipulate the boy, she nodded. " What would you like your Name to be?"

" Kevin... Kevin Khione...I like the snow." His flush made her smile, her plans were going beautifully.

" Then from now on, you shall be know as Kevin Khione, so shall it be!"

Chapter end, Tell me what you think in the reviews.

It was a random idea I was tinkering with... all thoughts are welcome.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
