I sat down on the roof next to Robin, I was pretty sure there was a lot of explaining to do. Robin sighed.

"If it was my choice Raven, none of this would've happened, but as it is, it is not. The lives of thousands of people are in jeopardy, and our Queen decided it was for the best. We are all humble to her wishes." He stated.

"But why does this 'Queen' need us? Why are we chosen and not someone else more powerful or influential than two teens?" I asked.

"Because you are the dow…" He started. I threw my hands up.

"Yes, yes I know I'm supposed to be the downfall of Trigon! But he's my father Robin! We're blood bond! He will be able to call on me anytime, anyplace, and I will be forced to fight along with him. Demon ties are very strong…" I said, exasperated. Robin turned and his face was expressionless.

"But you forget, we are also blood bond. I made you into what you are, I have just as much power over you as Trigon." He stated. My eyes widened.

"Why you Robin? Why were you given the task of my protector? I seems like a lot of work for such a new vampire, I mean… your not that much older than me. Why doesn't the Queen do it?" I asked.

"Well first of all, since I was sired by the Queen herself, for this very purpose, I am as powerful as any vampire a hundred times my age. And I was picked because your emotions are controlled by emotion." He stated.

"So?"

"So… It seems the Queen realized we had specific emotions for each other. The strongest one in fact, the only one that can stop Trigon's rage. She chose me to sire you because with my blood flowing through your veins, it will be much easier to build up that emotion whenever you need it and resist the pull of Trigon. We are bound by blood and by soul Raven, Trigon will not come between us."

"Right… so we are both half-demon-vampires then, eh?" I asked, slightly amused.

"Yes, since you gave me part of your half-demon soul, and my soul was incomplete at the time, I gained everything you had, and since I am a vampire, it increased my mental abilities that I already had. Same goes for you, except reversed of course." He said calmly. I laughed coldly.

"So, you're my sire, soul bond, and soul mate? Father, brother, boyfriend?" Robin recoiled in disgust.

"Well… I wouldn't put it exactly that way, but yeah… something like that. But we are no way related mortally, I can assure you." He smirked. I grinned back.

"That's a relief." I placed my head on his shoulder. "Now that's sorted out, what about this war? What's the story behind that?" Robin drew in a deep breath.

"There have always been tensions between the two kingdoms, mortal and demon. But now, Trigon is getting impatient, he wants the mortal world, and he wants it now. He wasn't planning on the vampires, or he at least didn't think we were organized. We cannot defeat him alone, but we can hold him off, he needs you to defeat us, and we need you to defeat him. Luckily, the Queen got to you first." I interrupted him.

"Who exactly is this Queen? And how does she know all these things?" I asked.

"The Queen is the oldest vampire in the history of our world. She is also the strongest. It's said that she was created by the Egyptian god Wepwawet, god of war and the funerary cult, as a companion. She was dark, brooding, and passionate. He fell deeply in love with her. But unfortunately, so did Anubis, the god of the dead. They fought bitterly for the dark princess and finally ended up cursing her, trying to keep the other from claiming her. Wepwawet made her immortal and gave her ageless beauty so she would never step foot in Anubis' realm. But when Anubis heard this, he stopped her heart, freezing her in between life and death. Seeing what they had done, the two gods wept for her, but came upon an idea. They poured blood from a crocodile down her throat and she lived, dead at the same time, her heart never beating, but her veins pumping another's blood. Ashamed at their actions, the gods granted her all the power they had, and told her she had to keep drinking other's blood to stay functional. She is said to have adapted the teeth and cold blood of the crocodile that kept her alive." He finished.

"Enthralling story love… but it still doesn't answer my question. How does she know all these things?" I purred, not realizing how vampiristic I sounded. Robin smiled and started running his fingers through my hair.

"No one knows, the Queen is one big mystery. You two are more similar than you know." He smirked. I nodded in agreement.

"One last question…" Robin sighed and looked up.

"Yes?"

"What are these?" I pointed at the ties at my waist. Robin smiled when he saw I had worn them. He nuzzled my neck in to show his appreciation.

"The Queen made 100 children, and gave them each their own title, colors, and right to a line. Those ties are the colors of my line, I am the hundredth child. The blue tie signifies that our line is a caeruleus regina, that's a vampire title, it means we're sort of royalty, the Queen's right hand. The black tie is my represents my vampire name, aquilus regulus." He smiled proudly. (A/N: caeruleus regina is Latin for 'blue queen' and aquilus regulus is Latin for 'dark prince')

"Do I have a vampire name?" I asked. Robin nodded.

"Yes, but I don't know it… the Queen will name you," He stated.

"So… when do I meet this Queen?" I inquired. Robin looked at me, confusion clear on his face.

"You already have…" He started.

"No, I haven't… I mean the only vampires I have met are you and…" Then it hit me… Robin finished.

"Lillith."
