Misty was the headmistress of Miss Grimwoods Finishing School for Ghouls. Miss Grimwood died three years ago. Misty , mallow, Elsa, Phanny and Lillie took it over and made it the way there mentor wanted it. ash and Pikachu were the only outsiders at the funeral. The two took time off from mystery solving to attended it. Scrappy still in jail sent his best.

Misty was teaching a math class. It was something she was good at teaching and math. mallow came running in and said. "There is a phone call for you." Misty at first dismissed it and kept on teaching. She was in the middle of explaining how to find X when she dropped the chalk she was using.

It clicked with her finally. The Ghoul School did have a phone but it was not used very much. Only one person knew the number and he knew her schedule so for him to be calling at this time it meant only one thing and it could not be good.

She said. "Girls I will be back. mallow please continue with the lesson." Misty then ran to her office. Her best friend and brother was calling and he never called at this hour so she knew something was wrong deadly wrong or at least bad. When she got to the phone she said. "I am sorry ash for taking so long what do you need?"

ash said on the line. "I need a place to stay and a job." Misty could tell that ash was defeated. His voice was broken and it worried the vampire princess greatly. She said very gently. "Of course bother you need not ask. We will see you soon." The phone line went dead and Misty left her office.

After dinner was eaten the rest of the gang gathered in Misty 's office to hear the news. mallow said. "So what happened?" Misty sighed and said. "He is coming to the school. I have a feeling he is here to stay. I will have him teach gym, sports and history. These three things he is really good at. The girls will be happy to see him again." ash was well liked at the school. Many of the girls had crush's on him.

Lillie over the years had learned many medical arts. She has also learned about psychology. She also knew her sister well and knew her sister was hiding something or was at least worried to say it. So she said. "What else Bella you are not telling us something?" Misty sighed and cursed herself for letting Lillie go and become a psychologist. What was she thinking she thought to herself?

Misty said. "Yes something bad has happened he is hurting and hurting badly I can hear it in his voice. What every happened it was not good. I think he will need us. No I do not know I did not ask." Else said. "Of course we will help him." Phanny said for once not crazy like. "We would not be who we are if it was not for him." Lillie said. "We need to wait for him to bring up whatever is bugging him. We can't force it out of him or else it will be bad."

Three days later a large werewolf with blonde hair appeared at the school. He was spotted by a girl about nine years old. She had red hair and brown eyes. She was Ruby. She was a vampire she knew the scent and ran up to the werewolf while the others students backed away. mallow was teaching and she also knew who the werewolf was.

Ruby tackled him and said. "I am glad to have you back teacher." The werewolf transformed to a human with ash blonde hair and blue eyes. He smiled and said. "Good to see you as well Ruby. Now please let me up." Ruby did and gave her teacher a hug. The other girls did the same thing.

mallow said. "Well my friend it is good to see you. Girls let Mister ash go he has to get settled in. He will be at dinner tonight." All the girls ran off to do the exercise they were in the middle of before ash came. ash smiled at the girls in the class. It was the first smile he had in over ten days.

mallow finished up class and went to see how her brother was doing. The other members sensed he was here so they all meet up in his room. ash was unpacking and he said. "I am guessing you all wish to know why I have come here and in this state." He did not look that well he was a mess to put it simply. Misty could feel the sadness coming off of him.

Lillie said speaking for the others. "You do not have to tell us." Phanny said. "We are your friends." Elsa said. "We are your sisters." mallow said. "No matter what we will always be here." Misty said. "We will not leave you behind and we will be here should you need someone to talk to."

At this ash smiled and broke down in tears. His sisters all hugged him expect Phanny since she was a ghost and all. ash said. "Pikachu is dead that is a part of why I am this way." All were saddened by this Pikachu was there friend and someone that was precious to them.

ash said. "Fred got this invite that was in no way official at all. It told him he won an award that has never been given and he was the first to be given it. It wanted him to come with the rest of Mystery Inc and not tell anyone." mallow said. "I am guessing you and Pikachu told them it was a trap." It sounded like a question but it was not. It was just a statement of fact. Misty asked. "What did Velma say?"

Flashback

ash looked at his girlfriend with complete rage. He could not believe what he was hearing. Actually a part of him did believe it. Velma said. "I am sorry ash but this is not a trap. I love you but you are wrong." ash said. "I am not really surprised at this. You always take his side it makes me wonder if you are in a relationship with him."

Velma was mad. "How could you suggest that?" ash said. "You never support my thoughts even when you know I am right and I have so much evidence to support it. Fred has nothing and is wrong and you know it yet you support him." He took a pause and said. "You never once supported me or stuck up for my idea. You take all the credit and give it to Fred." He started to walk away.

Velma grabbed his arm and said. "I am sorry ash its just that I am always use to you being the one that does not think. I usually do the thinking in the relationship." ash said. "I love you Velma but I am not sure how much more I can take of this. I need to go and get ready for this trap."

Velma said. "I will support you from now on but I am not cheating on you. I love you ash." The two shared a kissed and they went to try and convince Fred it was a bad idea. He did not listen so the gang left a few days later.

End flash back

ash said without emotion in his voice. "I was right we walked right into a trap. Waiting for us were 20 people that we had put in jail. Many of the ones we put in jail fixed their lives and were actuall grateful for what we did to them." He took a pause before saying. "Somehow all of them had escaped and made a plan to kill us all. Pikachu was able to take down two of them before they shot him." At this the gang once again held there brother.

ash said. "Seeing them kill Pikachu and then laugh at it well I got mad. The wolf inside of me got mad as well." ash was turned into a werewolf by Count Dracula when a werewolf was needed to take part in a race. The Count was never able to get rid of the wolf but he helped ash control the powers he now had.

The wolf and ash had an odd relationship. The wolf helped ash grow in mind and body. He helped ash get stronger. The wolf knew ash would absorb all of his power and knowledge someday. He figured it would be a few more years. However something snapped in him.

Flashback

The wolf and ash were in ash's mindscape. The wolf said. "They must pay they must be made to pay." ash said. "I agree so what are we going to do?" The wolf said. "I will speed up the process and the final absorption will take place now." ash said. "What will happen?" The wolf's answer was. "You will have all my power the only negative side is the others may not like we they see."

ash said. "I need to keep them safe if I must transform then so be it." The wolf smiled and said. "Very well I will do this. If she accepts you mark her as your mate for that would mean she is a keeper but if she does not then find another mate one who loves you unconditionally."

The wolf started to chant. As he was chanting his body started to dissolve for a lack of a better word. After what felt like hours he was gone. Back in the real world ash had transformed. His fur was a light blonde color. The villains were scared.

ash smirked and said. "You have made a mistake. About six years ago I was cursed with this power. Since then I have fought day in and day out to control it. It has not been an easy fight. The wolf inside was my friend he taught and trained me. Seeing our buddy die made him absorb into me."

A villain asked. "Why are you telling us this?" ash said. "You will not be alive for much longer." True to his word ash charged then and killed them all. He did not enjoy the killing but it was needed. Looking at his friends he saw looks of horror on their faces.

End Flashback

ash said. "Afterwards they all called me a monster and to get away from them." ash said after a pause. "Velma told me she wished she never feel in love with a monster. Only my mom and little sister accept me. I told them the truth. My sister she begged me to stay."

Misty said. "Well we do not care we understand what it is like." mallow said. "We got your back. You are a part of our pack." The gang left there brother alone to get settled in. The night at dinner it was announced that ash would start teaching. It was met with great cheers. You see ash was well liked at the school. Almost all the students knew him. He was a legend.

He was not himself but he knew that being at the school would heal him. Sitting and eating with the students helped out a lot. He knew he had a long way to go.

ash was in a somber mood. Today was the day that a memorial service was being held for Pikachu Doo. He was not going to cry not to act manly or tuff but because he had already cried. He had no more tears at this moment. Plus Pikachu would not want him to cry anymore.

The memorial was at the Ghoul School. Like ash Pikachu was a legend at the school. Some of the canine girls had crushes on him as well. ash stood at the altar in the school's church. Yes the school had a church a place where all could practice their faith no matter what it was. Some of the girls did not believe and that was fine.

Services were held every week. You could go if you wished. If you did not wish to go then you did not have to go. If you did not go then you could study or use the gym. Misty had it put in since she was deeply religious. She prayed daily and attended church ever weekly. All of the teachers did. Everyone was dressed nicely to honor Pikachu.

ash got up and said. "Pikachu Doo was labeled as many things. Some called him a coward. Some called him a dog that liked to eat a lot." He took a pause to prevent himself from breaking down any further. He went on to say. "However none of that was true. Yes he did run form danger and yes he enjoyed food but he was no coward. He was brave and strong. He had a heart that few can equal."

ash said after a pause. "He was my friend and he was always there for me. He died in a tragic attack but he went down fighting. I want all to honor his memory." One by one the teachers of the school gave their thoughts on Pikachu Doo. All said different things but for the most part they talked about how ash and Pikachu helped them see who they really were.

Before the services ended ash said. "My friend I will miss you. I want to thank you for all that you have done. For keeping me sane and happy over the years and for making me feel like I was someone." The service was done after that. ash had no class to teach so he went to visit someone.

He went to visit Scrappy Doo. Pikachu did not die right away he had one request for ash. ash was on his way to a prison. Misty went with him to give emotional support. After going through all the channels he was given the right to speak to Scrappy.

Scrappy Doo was in an odd mood. He had been in jail for four years since the whole Mystery Island event. In which he tried to kill all of his former friends. While in jail he had a lot of time to think and reflect. During that time he saw what he had done was not only wrong it was beyond that. The first year in jail he was filled with rage.

The second year he started to feel the regret. He was alone so it came as a shock when he was told he had two visitors. It came as an even bigger shock when he saw that the visitors were ash and Misty . The trio was given privacy. Scrappy said. "To what do I owe this visit? I am happy about it but confused."

ash said. "I bring bad news and a message if you will. Your Uncle is dead." ash then told Scrappy in detail what had happened. Misty was there giving him the support he needed. Scrappy at the end was crying. ash said after Scrappy had stopped crying. "He had a message for you. Would you like to hear it?"

Scrappy nodded his head that he would like to hear it. ash said. "Your Uncle told me to tell you that he loved you and has forgiven you. He hopes that someday you can find the peace within yourself." Scrappy cried and thanked ash. Before he was taken back to his cell Sieblla said. "Scrappy you get out in a three years. You will always have a home with us however if you chose to come and if you hurt the girls I will kill you." ash and Misty left Scrappy who had a lot of thinking to do.

It had been a year and half since that day. ash was doing better. He was able to now move about his day without much effort. He still missed Pikachu since Pikachu was his first friend but he no longer cried. He also was missing a mate. He had yet to find anyone worthy. He had dated a few women in the town that was ten miles from the school.

Ruby was in Misty 's office and she had just given an ideal to the headmistress. The idea was to have her big sister come and act as a security guard. Misty said. "Ruby my dear I am not as old as ash but I have been headmistress enough years to know that you are hiding something. It has to do with your sister and ash. Now please do not lie to me." It was true about the age the teachers were about 22 and ash was about 30 years old but he looked younger thanks to the wolf's blood.

Ruby said. "You are right headmistress I have another motive and it does involve Mr. ash." Misty said very calmly but Ruby knew she was not. "What are you planning?" Ruby said. "My sister is feeling the same way he is." Misty softened when she heard this.

Ruby said. "Both need love or a mate. I think they will be perfect for each other. Even if they are not perfect as mates they can be friends that can help each other." Misty said. "This plan of yours has a lot of setbacks. It could cause both to be very mad at you."

Ruby said at this point she was close to tears. "I know but I need to do it for them. My parents were killed after I was born. It was my sister that took care of me. She watched over me taught me how to hunt and survive. She got me into this school so that I can fit into the human world." She took a pause to control herself and to get her thoughts together.

She said after a pause. "I have always felt like a monster. All of us do and he has helped and shown us that it not the case. Mr. ash and my sister have given me so much I want to give them each other. I can feel it. This is the right thing. If it fails and they both hate me and never want to speak to me again I am willing to take that risk."

Misty thought about it. She had met Ruby's older sister a few times and she was a nice woman. She might be what her brother needed. She also knew her brother was what Ruby's sister needed. It was risky very risky but she had learned that in life risk had to be taken. So she said. "Very well I shall call her and offer her the job. Be patient Ruby things like this take time to grow. Both are hurting love will not be easy or quick."

Ruby thanked Misty and left the office. She had to get some work done. She knew it was the right thing to do. She went to the church and started to pray. She said softly. "Mom please let this plan work. Please help them. I know this will work please help it to work." A soft breezes of wind blew into the sealed room.

About 700 miles from the Ghoul School we see a young woman about age 30. She has long flowing red hair and bright green eyes. Her name is Dawn and she is the big sister of Ruby. She had been taking care of Ruby since Ruby was very little. This was due to their parents being killed by so called monster hunters. Dawn was hurt by the one she loved. Like ash she fell in love with her best friend. Like her when he was in danger she unleashed her vampire side and slaughtered the attackers. Like him the man called her a monster and said he regretted ever falling in love with her.

Unlike ash she had gotten over it but she was still weary of a relationship. She wanted to fall in love and have a family but she was weary. She had dated but no one seemed right. No one would understand her vampire side. What she needed to date and fall in love with was another monster. She would really like someone that was half human and half monster but she did not think she would fine that.

Her musings were cut short when she heard her phone ring. It was a ringtone that she set for only one caller. Fearing the worst she picked it up "Is my sister ok?" Misty on the other line face palmed herself she forgot what time it was.

"Yes I am sorry to worry you. I am actually calling to offer you a job as a security guard." Sieblla said. Dawn thought about it. She needed a change of pace and it could do her some good. Plus being close to her sister would be helpful in the long run.

"The answer is sure. I think it will be a good idea. I must ask will I get to meet this ash that my sister talks about so much and will he be affected by my vampire powers?" She did not want someone acting like an idiot to impress her. You see a lot of vampires had the power to draw in the opposite sex or gender to them. It helped them to found blood if it was needed.

The more powerful the vampire the easier it was for them influence someone. Plus vampire's were just beautiful or handsome to start with. Dawn she was a very powerful vampire she was on equal footing with ash in his wolf form. So she could easily influence anyone she wanted to. Plus she was a very beautiful vampire. On the note of blood drinking she only consumed human blood once a year and when she was enraged.

"No he has met many of the vampire girl's mother's. There are three of them that are drop dead beautiful and ash is not affected by them even in the slightest. It is actual funny to watch the mothers fail. The three tired to team up on him and they still failed." Misty said. Dawn was now very interested someone that was able to ignore a vampire's powers like that was someone to look into.

Now she was not going to jump in. She was going to try and see if they could be friends first. She only knew what her sister told her which was a lot. Her sister did not trust many others. So for her sister to speak highly of ash it meant he was special. Little did she know that her life would change and she would find the perfect partner one who she loved and loved her in return.

Back at the Ghoul School ash was cleaning out his ears. "Ok I will help her and make sure she gets settled in." Misty had just told him what she wanted him to do. At first he did not hear her correctly so he cleaned out his ears and asked her to repeat what was said. When she did ash agreed to the request.

A few days later ash was teaching outside since it was a nice day. He was teaching history. Many would be surprised by that but history was a strong subject for him. Plus he had his degree in teaching history. The story is for another time of how he got it and kept it from his former friends. "Now class today we are going to talk about the Second World War." He then went on to teach.

Towards the end of the class a tall and beautiful woman walked up to school. She had long flowing red hair and bright green eyes. Ruby seeing who she was ran over and hugged her. "It is so good to see you big sis." Ruby said. Dawn smiled and so did ash. It was then that Ruby realized what she did. ash and the others laughed good naturedly at this. "Ok I would like you to write one page on this question. It can be more. The question is was the dropping of the atom bomb by the USA necessary or not? There is no right or wrong answers in this. Many are still debating that very question. I am looking to see how well you girls can defend your point." ash said. He then dismissed the class.

He got his first real look at the woman and one word came to mind and that was beautiful. He looked into her eyes and he could see a deep intelligence. This only added to her beauty. He gives a slight bow. "It is nice to finally be able to meet you Miss Dawn." ash said. Dawn was shocked that this stranger knew who she was.

To answer the question he knew he was going to be asked. "Your sister speaks of you often." He says. This caused Ruby to be slightly embarrassed as she tried to hide in her sister's dress. "You must be ash." Dawn said. ash had guessed that Ruby talked about him.

He was proven correct. "My little sister speaks highly of you." Dawn said. Ruby hid once more. Dawn took a good look at ash and one word came to mind handsome he was handsome very handsome. His eyes showed much intelligence but also a deep pain and sadness with a little bit of joy mixed in. "Ruby you need to head to class before you get into trouble. You can see your sister later." ash said. Ruby nodded hugged her sister and ran off to class.

Dawn was impressed ash was firm yet kind to the students. She watched him teach for a bit until she relived himself. She was never a fan of history yet she found herself hanging on his every word. ash was a great teacher and speaker. His voice was so soothing to the ears.

"So I was asked to show you around and act as a guide for you. Are there any questions?" Dawn smiled before. "Yes which room is mine so that I may put my stuff down." ash helped her with her bags. Dawn liked the room. After putting her stuff down ash gave her the grand tour.

Dawn liked the tour it showed her all that the school had to offer. She noticed that the girls of the school respected ash. He would help out the girls if they needed help. He stopped the tour to help if needed. She was starting to like him. He would be a good friend. After the tour Dawn went to rest before dinner. Both agreed that they had to meet after work to just talk and hang out.

A week later ash was teaching again and Dawn was watching the teaching. "Well class I have read your papers and all of you got high grades. All of you defended your points very well. Should any of you wish to go to college you will do well in it. All of you also said that it was not necessary. All of you suggested that an invasion would have been better." ash said. Everyone was listening and in awe by the speech.

"Now this is perfect very perfect for the class today. An invasion plan was given to President Truman. It was called Operation Downfall. It was a two part plan that involved capturing various parts of the country and then taking it down slowly. The main problem with it was the estimated rates of death were very high on both sides."

ash could tell all were stunned by that. "Now your next paper is to think once more about the question I asked you. If you still think it was not necessary then write that but explain it. I ask this for a simple reason. I use to think there had to be another way. A classmate of mine one who was anti pointed out that it was the only way."

Dawn left and she was impressed she learned a lot about history and about ash. He truly enjoyed teaching and was good at it. She was glad they were friends. She could fall for him but she was not going to jump in.

For the next year and a half every night they would meet and talk. They had become fast friends very fast friends. It did not go beyond that both were too scared to make that step and very comfortable with the way things were. Neither was in a rush. The talks started out with the actions of the girls. It moved to school related matters to personal matters to the various theories the two held. A few times Dawn had fallen asleep and ash carried her back to her room.

Ruby knew her plan was going well and it was a work in progress. She had a hard time keeping it a secret that she arranged for it to occur. She only hoped that they forgave her when she let them know. She smiled whenever they talked. It was clear to her and the teachers that the two were falling for each other.

Everything was going well until something happened that changed that. It changed in a good way. ash trusted Dawn enough to tell her what had happened.

Dawn the past couple of nights had noticed that her friend was not talking as much. She knew ash was hurting about his past. She heard from the other teachers that he was hurt badly. She did not know how. They would not tell her and she was not going to ask. She was going to let him tell her when he was ready.

Seeing her friend this sad was making her sad she was about to say something when on the third night. "Dawn I know that you know I was hurt in the past. I want to thank you for not asking what had happened. I have been this way for the last few nights since I have been debating on telling you." Dawn was shocked.

She gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "If you want to I am here. I will not force you my friend." ash nodded and then told her what had happened in great detail. Dawn was in shock. Yes she had it bad but compared to him none of her former friends died. She hugged ash and told her story.

She told him how one day she and her boyfriend and there three friends were just walking. They were attacked and her three friends were hurt. The people that had trapped them and there were about 12 of them had a gun aimed at her boyfriends head.

So she did the only thing she could think of. She unleashed her vampire side. She drained the 12 of all their blood and they feel to ground dead. Her ex boyfriend called her a monster. At the end ash hugged her. "How did you mange to go on?"

Dawn smiled. "Ruby she needed me to take care of her. She needed me to be strong. So I could not be like that. Yes it hurt a lot but I have moved on. I am not suggesting you do it right away but you do not need her. You are letting her win." ash knew she was right.

"Form this day forward I will not let her control me. I loved her so it will take me a little longer to get over her but I will get over her." Dawn smiled she put her head on ash's shoulder. She enjoyed doing it. "You have not feed yet and you are getting closer to the time." You see vampires only needed human blood once a year. They did not need to kill the human they just needed some of the blood. They needed about 12 ounces of blood. Since there were roughly about 150 ounces of blood in the human body it would not kill the human. The human would be tired but the human would live.

If a vampire did not drink the blood by the time a year had pass they would grow weak and need even more blood. If they went over 18 months without human blood they could die. If they went 32 months they would be dead for certain. Dawn have gone 17 months without any human blood she had some animal blood but no human blood. She also ate regular food. Vampires could eat regular food if they wished.

Dawn was shocked that ash knew this. "One of my best friends slash sisters is a vampire. There are 17 girls that are vampires. I know the signs. Drink some of my blood." Dawn tried to refuse. "ash I need at least 20 ounces that could cause you to be out for a few days."

ash sighed. "It is ok Misty has taken a lot of blood from me. You are my friend. I want you to drink my blood." Dawn tried to argue that she would go to the village and find someone. ash presented his neck to her. "In your state you would not be able to do it. Please just take my blood." Dawn not wanting to fight anymore plus she knew ash was right. She was not totally weak but she was not as strong as she should be.

So she plunged her teeth into his neck. She then started to drink his blood. She felt her energy and power returning. She noticed something odd. She does not like the taste of human blood. Only some types of human blood she likes. It comes from humans that are not nice. Even then there blood is like eating dry meat.

ash's blood was different. It was sweet. It tasted like strawberry's dipped in rich chocolate. She took all the blood that she needed and sealed up ash's wound. She felt her power growing it was amazing. She felt stronger then before she met ash. She then rested her head on his chest. "I am sorry but after I feed I am tired." ash gentle picked her up and brought her to her bed. He put her in the bed and tucked her in. He then gently kissed her forehead and whispered. "Good night my angel." He walked out. He did not know that Dawn had woken up when he put her in the bed. So she had heard everything she felt the kiss.

No one had ever called her an angel. She could hear the undertone of love in the words. She could feel her heart beating and beating fast. Combined with that the comfort of being in his arms and the taste of his blood she could no longer fight it. She was in love. You see it was said that the blood that taste the sweetest to a vampire it means the vampire loves that person.

Dawn still tired walks to the church and starts to pray. "Mom I need your advice please. What do I do I love ash but how to get him to see that? Please mom I need you." She started to cry softly. She felt a pair of hands on her shoulder. Looking up she sees no one. She close's her eyes. She swears that she can hear a voice. "Follow your heart my child. He will love you till the end." Dawn knew it was her mother.

She walked out thanking her mother. Up above her mother smiled down on her. She had heard Ruby asking for help. She knew what her youngest was planning so she looked into ash. She found him to be a very good choice. His only issue was being fixed and that was his love for the one that hurt him. So the mother helped her daughter see the truth. She thought go now and be happy. It will not be easy but you have always been stubborn.

Dawn went to speak to Misty . "ash needs time off. He has been pushing himself too much. I know what has happened with this Velma person." Misty could read between the lines. "You are planning on winning his heart and taking him away is how you plan to start that."

It was not a question not even close to one. Misty looked at Dawn. She have been watching her and admitted this one was good and would do well for her brother. "If you harm my brother I will end you plan and simple." Dawn nodded that she understood. "I have no intention to do that. I love him I will not hurt him."

Misty called ash into her office and told both ash and Dawn that they were to go to Texas. They were to have some fun see a movie visit the sites and all that stuff. Dawn was not affected by the sunlight. It did not bother her unless she stayed out for 12 hours in one day. Lucky she was not stupid enough to do that. After a little packing the two went to Taxes. Neither knew that their relationship would grow stronger and they would return as more then friends.

Dawn and ash were in Texas. They had just arrived and both were a little tired. On the flight Dawn used ash's shoulder as a pillow. ash did not mind at all. It felt nice to have the vampire that close to him. He knew he had feelings for her yet he was not going to act on them. He knew he had feelings for her and had for about half a year. Every time he went to tell her he froze up. He kept seeing Velma's face and her reaction after his transformation. ash was known to the world as a coward. Only a few knew the truth he was everything but a coward. He just could not do it. He needed to bury the ghost of Velma so he could move on. He had a great woman by his side that he could lose.

Dawn knew she was in love she had just been fighting it. She knew ash was hurting so she was going to slowly win his heart. Her plan was at the end of the trip she was going to tell him how she felt. She did not know what would happen after that.

The two made it to Dallas and set out to their hotel. They got last minute tickets to a rock concert. They did not know that the concert was the Hex Girls. Dawn was a fan and was very happy to hear the stories ash had about them. The two enjoyed the concert very much. They were some of the last to leave.

As they were leaving they were invited backstage to meet with the band. Dawn was really happy at this prospect. Both thought it might be a trap so both were on their guard. Seeing ash the Hex Girls hug him. Dawn feels jealously after all the Hex Girls are all beautiful. She was able to control it and hide it.

"So ash who is your friend?" Thorn asked. ash introduced Dawn to the girls and they were glad to welcome her. "ash we heard from the others what happened? Is it true?" Luna asked. ash nodded his head. "Can you show us please?" Dusk asked this one. So ash did and to his shock none were surprised by it.

"We knew right away we could sense it. We are witches all of us." Thorn said. "We were furious when they tried to get you in trouble." Luna said. "We have cleared your name with police. You did them a favor they said." Dusk told her friend. The girls invited the two to dinner. ash left to use the restroom after an hour.

The girls slowed down time. "So Dawn what are your plans with ash?" Thorn asked. Dawn knew these three witches were trustworthy so she told them point blank what she had planned. "Well I must say do not give up and you are a good pick for him. If you hurt him we will hurt you." Luna said. Dawn smiled at that.

"After the events with Harperh we wanted to give up. ash convinced us not to give up. He is like a brother to us." Thorn said. Time was returned to normal and ash returned. The group split up but not without a warning form Thorn.

"The rest of the gang is in the area you are heading to. Be on your guard they are trying to get there reputation back. They have been a joke since you left. So many people have gotten away." ash waved good bye to his friends and he and Dawn went back to the hotel. It had two beds so everything was set in that respect.

The next few days were wonderful for them. The visited many museums and even visited various sites. It was on the third to last day of the trip and the visit to the Alamo that things went wrong. ash really loved that fort it felt great to him. "Imagine what it was like seeing the Mexican Army coming at you." He told Dawn. She agreed with him it would be scary. She also closed her eyes and imagined it.

As she was closing her eyes she could sense that ash was afraid. She could smell fear. ash was never afraid nervous sometimes and sad and mad but never scared. Looking up she sees three humans coming near them two females and one male. The male was tall with blonde hair. The first female had red hair and the second female had brown hair and glasses. The red head was pretty the brown hair one was not.

Guessing by ash's reactions Dawn correctly guessed these were his former friends. She gently takes his hand in hers. "Whatever happens let me handle it unless I am in danger. I need to face them and her myself." Dawn nodded that she understood. This was a fight he needed to do on his own. That did not mean if she felt he was in danger she would not step in.

ash and Dawn casually walked. The path they were taking was going to have them get near his former friends. ash just ignored them and kept on walking with Dawn. He pretended they were not there. Velma was not amused by this action.

"How dare you show your face in public monster." ash looks up smiled a fake smile that everyone knew was fake. He shook each of their hands and hugged them all as if he was greeting old friends.

"Fred, Daphne Velma how nice to see you guys. How is life treating you? It has been almost three years since we last saw each other." All three were stunned by this. Dawn was having a very hard time not laughing at it. Seeing as no one wanted to answer he just keep walking around the fort. He enjoyed being here no one was going to ruin it for him. Velma was not pleased.

"You should not be amongst normal humans." Velma said to him. ash ignored her. He no longer cared. However her next words changed all that.

"You should not be with this woman. If she does not know the truth I will tell her to save her. If she does then she is a hoe." ash grabbed Velma by the throat. He then threw her to the ground and walked away.

"I will not have you insulting the woman I love. She did not sleep with my friend. Thanks to the wolf I knew you cheated on me Velma. I always knew. You are the hoe. Now if you excuse me I am going to go and get some dinner with this nice lady that is by my side. Come near me or my family I will hurt you."

He took a pause to relax and control the rage. "Out of respect for the friendship we once had and for Pikachu I will spare your life this time. Next time we meet and you attempt to harm someone I care about I will kill you." Velma pulled out a gun and fired at ash's retreating back.

ash could hear the bullet coming. He had two options one take the bullet or two dodge the bullet and kill an innocent little girl So he took option one. He was hit in the back. Now thankfully Velma was terrible with guns. She knew a lot about the history of each gun but that was all. She could not fire them. So ash was spread and instant death sentence.

It still hut like hell and he was starting to lose blood and a lot of it. He was knocked out however. Dawn quickly sealed the wound. She then turned on Velma and punched her hard in the face. It caused Velma to slide backwards. Her fangs appeared this meant she was enraged.

"If you value your lives leave now. ash wants you three to live for now. So I shall honor his request plus his life is more important to me then ending yours. Get out now." The three other humans ran for their lives.

Dawn could not figure out why ash took the bullet it made no sense. However she looked up and saw why. The fort was empty expect for a few people herself and ash, along with the humans and a little girl and her mother. If ash had moved the girl would be dead. She checked on the girl and saw she was ok. She was worried about ash like Dawn was.

Dawn got a scent form the girl but she would worry about it later. She pulled out her cell phone.

"Lillie I need you ash has been shot and a little girl needs to be checked out. I think she is snake." With a pop Lillie was there. She was dressed as a human woman.

You see all of the staff could disguise themselves has humans. The girls at the school were learning how to do it as well. Lillie was her height but had long black hair and deep yellow eyes. Lillie started to heal ash. After about ten minutes she announced he was in the clear. He would wake up soon and be all better in the morning. Lillie did a scan over the girl with the mother's permission of course.

"You are right Dawn she is a snake. She is very powerful to be able to use that disguise." The mother was horrified. Both adults could see she was scared that her daughter was going to be hurt. Dawn put her hand on the woman's shoulder.

"Do not worry miss. We know what she is and we will not harm her. I am a vampire, Lillie over there is a mummy and the one on the ground sleeping is a werewolf. If you wish we can take her to a school with other monster girls and we can help her live in the human world." Lillie smiled at this.

"Yes but the choice is hers and hers alone." Lillie handed the mother a card. Placing her hand on ash and Dawn she takes them back to their hotel. Lillie puts her hand on Dawn's shoulder. She can tell that the vampire is scared and worried. Dawn was both.

"He called me the woman he loves. I can't lose him Lillie ." Lillie smiled at this. She was happy to see that her brother found love once more. She as a little sister approved of Dawn.

"He will pull through this. The bullet missed all important spots and you sealed his wound. He is strong. Call me if you need me." She popped away to get home. Dawn got on the bed and pulled ash close to her. She did not know at the time but this was going to be a part of her life.

ash woke up and noticed two things right away. One he had something on his chest. Two he had his arms around someone. After a quick second he could tell that it was a someone and not a something. He looked down and saw a mess of red hair. He knew that Dawn was resting on his chest right above his heart and he was holding her in his arms.

In the middle of the night Dawn put her head on his chest. Out of instinct ash pulled her close to him. To be honest ash was happy about this very happy. He wanted this to last forever. He knew it was unlikely but he still wanted it.

He was about to get up before Dawn voiced her displeasure by it. Not wanting to upset her and still wanting to hold her he did not move. Dawn snuggled deeper into his embrace. A smile was on her face and it did not leave. After awhile Dawn knew she had to get up.

"ash is it true what you said yesterday? Am I the woman you love?" ash did not expect this. Yes he said it yesterday. He did not think she would bring it up this quickly. ash got Dawn to sit up and to look in his eyes.

"Yes Dawn I meant it. You are the woman I love. I love you. I have for about six months. Every time I tried to tell you I would freeze up. I got scared. "Dawn pulled him into a kiss. It was a deep and loving kiss. He gladly returned the kiss. After air was needed Dawn put her head on his chest once more.

"I am glad to hear that. I love you as well. I am not sure how or when it started but I do in fact love you. I want to see if a relationship can work." ash pulled her close to him and gentle kissed her. ash was happy. He just held her there for a few hours. The two talked after it was done Dawn looked ash in the eyes.

"ash promise me that you will not do something stupid like that again. My heart stopped when I thought you were dead. I do not want to lose you." ash pulled her close to him and kissed her.

"I promise my princess that I will not do that again. I will find another way to protect others without me getting hurt." Dawn snuggled into his chest. She liked the princess comment. Her last boyfriend never called her that. She did not care at the time but now being called a princess felt nice.

"That is all that I ask." After an hour and the time was about ten o'clock in the morning Dawn got a phone call. It was form Misty . She first wanted to see how ash was doing. She was very happy to learn that he was ok. She then assigned them a mission. Dawn put her phone on speaker.

"I am sorry to ask you this. The girl yesterday ash is a ghoul. I want you to recruit her or help her. " So the two did just that. Before they left the hotel ash asked a very important question.

"Once this is done will you go on a date with me? I was thinking dinner tonight and maybe a movie or go to the Hex Girls once more." The Hex Girls were on tour. Dawn really loved the idea of seeing the Hex Girls. So ash got tickets. The Hex Girls always saved two seats at every show expect the special ones for ash and one guest.

That was how they knew he was there the other night. ash got all the info form Dawn about the girl they were going to visit. Misty did say recruit but she did not mean that. Misty 's approach was softer. She did not force she presented all the good points and all the bad points. She was honest and up front. She often told how it was hidden and only some types of communications were allowed.

It took ash and Dawn about two hours to get to the home. The mother let them in and thanked ash for saving her daughter's life.he said he knew she was a snake just by the smell Every monster smells different than a human So that is why I took the bullet from my one so called friend The girl had long black hair and dark green eyes. She was a really pretty girl and would put any super model to shame in a few years. She was called Sarah. ash and Dawn explained everything to them. Sarah liked the idea but she was nervous.

"I am a monster what is the point? No one will care about me. Only my mom cares about me." ash had heard this many times. He transformed. Dawn allowed her fangs to be seen. She could hide them if she wished. ash smiled.

"Yes humans call us monster but they do it for two reasons. One they are scared plan and simple. The second reason is they are jealousy of us. I am human but I have the werewolf side of me. This allows me to run faster and have more strength and a greater sense of smell and sight."

Dawn was happy to see her boyfriend in his element. It was making her love him even more. She looked at Sarah.

"As a vampire I can fly, run fast, I have great strength and I can smell emotions. I can smell happiness, sadness and fear. As a snake you can smell different ways. You can taste the air and you can feel the vibrations on the ground. Your hearing is better as well." ash finished up.

"Don't look at it as bad. It is hard and finding human friends that expect it will be hard. Some day the day will come but for now we must hide. I use to fight the wolf half. Now I embrace it. We will not tell you what to do Sarah. You will make many friends at the school. Call us if you want to go." Sarah hugged the adults and let them go. The time was around three and the concert was at eight so the two go back to the hotel and get dressed and ready. Dawn puts on a green summer dress. It hugged all her curves. She put on a little bit of eye shadow and some red lip stick. She was naturally beautiful so she did not feel she need much make up. The eye shadow was to highlight her eyes. ash would often tell her during their talks that she had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.

When ash first saw her he was stunned by her. Dawn was no better for ash had fixed his hair and it was flat. He was wearing clothes that highlighted all of his muscles. She went to him and messed up his hair and got it to the ash look.

"Sorry but I like your hair the way it is. Now I am hungry let us go and eat." So the two did just that and dinner was wonderful. It was not too fancy but it was nicer then a dinner or fast food. After the two went to the concert and like last time they had great fun. Like last time as they were leaving they were asked to come and see the group.

The girls were thrilled to find out that ash and Dawn were dating. They were enraged to find out that Velma tried to kill their brother. ash had a request for them.

"Can I have a poster signed by you three? I plan on using it for contest at the school. Your music is very popular at the school." A poster was produced and all three signed it.

"So are teachers needed at this school? Because soon we will be done and we wonder if we can help out." This was asked by Thorn. ash did not see that coming not even a mile away. He told them that he would speak to Misty about it.

"I think she will agree. She has been looking for witches. I will put in a good word for you." All three hugged him and Dawn. Dawn was happy for she had made three new friends and sisters. She understood why ash trusted them and called them his sisters.

The days before they had to go home were spent just being a couple. Everywhere they went they held hands. They spent time on the beach. Their love for each other grew. Every night the couple would sleep in the same bed. Only sleep nothing more.

Dawn would use ash as a pillow. ash would hold her in his arms. When they took the flight back Dawn used him once more as a pillow. Flying on planes always made her sleepy. So she was glad she had ash holding her.

They get back to the school they see Sarah and she is with Ruby and they are working together. ash was happy to hear that the girl had come. The day after they met her Sarah's mom called and Misty came and brought the girl to the school. Sarah and Ruby became instant friends. Ruby hugged her sister and asked her about the trip.

Dawn promised she would tell later and that she needed to talk to her sister. ash and Dawn went up to Misty 's office to report in. Misty knew that something had changed. She could tell and she was happy. Lillie approved of Dawn. Off all the original five Lillie was the youngest and the least trusting. She felt no one was worthy of ash. She did not think she was worthy either but she did not love him that way so it was a mute point. So for Lillie to approve then Dawn was special. Misty had mixed emotions. (Will com later.)

"Well guys congrats on the relationship. Now I ask that you do not partake in any public displays of affection. The girls will figure it out as long as it does not interfere with your job I do not care. The girls will not try to take advantage."

Dawn went to talk to Ruby. Ruby was happy to spend some alone time with her big sister. Ruby often saw Dawn as a mom. Let's face it that made sense. Dawn raised Ruby and feed her and cared for her. Ruby could always count of Dawn just like a mom.

"My sister I have some news for you. I have started to date ash. I am very happy about this. Now there is one thing you need to know. I don't think you will do it but I am going to say it to be safe. ash will not give you any special treatment. He will treat you like he always has." Ruby hugged Dawn and smiled at hearing those words form Dawn.

"I am so happy to hear that big sis. I want you to be happy. I promise not to take advantage and I know he will not treat me any different. He treats us all the same." Ruby hugged her sister happy that her sister had found someone. Ruby was still nervous for when she confessed what she did so she did not tell just yet.

Later that night ash got ready for bed. He walks out to his bed to see Dawn on it in her nightdress. Dawn smiles at her boyfriends confused face.

"You are going to hold me tonight and ever night as long as we are together. The girls here will figure it out." ash got into bed and pulled his girlfriend towards him. Truthfully he was happy about this. He thought that once they returned then they would have to stop.

It had been one year since the trip to Texas and the start of the relationship between ash and Dawn. As promised ash and Dawn kept their romantic relationship to their room during school hours they did not have many public displays of affection. Only hand holding and sometimes Dawn would rest on ash's shoulder during church but that is all also at lunch. The students knew and accepted it. Some of the girls were heartbroken but happy none the less.

The two would go on a date every weekend. The love they had for each other only grew stronger. Scrappy had been released from prison. He called and told ash that he was not ready yet to be at the school. He still had some soul searching to do. Misty informed him that the job would always be open as long as she was headmistress.

ash was teaching basketball. The girls all worked well together as teammates. The two best were Ruby and Sarah. They were a powerful duo and were unstoppable together. It did not matter what sport they played they dominated. Dawn was happy since it looked like her sister had found her best friend. Dawn suspected that unlike her friends Sarah would never betray Ruby. Dawn was right but more on that as the story takes shape.

ash was happy everything in life was going great. Dawn walks in and he can tell by her expression that something was off. She gets to him and hugs him and kiss's him. That alone told him something was wrong. They would sometimes hug in front of the students but never kiss.

"Your mom is on the phone. I can hear the fear in her. Something is wrong very wrong." You see the school had a phone. Only a few had the number. The one ash called was Misty 's personal phone. ash looked at the girls and dismissed them. All the girls were worried ash never canceled a class.

ash raced up to speak to his mom. She started to speak to him. ash put the phone on speaker so Dawn could hear it as well. Misty was in the room as well. His mom Stacy sounded very claim but ash could tell she was not. Dawn was right there was fear a lot of it.

"ash I do hope that you will come to the family dinner. We are inviting some of your former friends. You guys were once like family they should be there and so should you. Bonnie is hoping that you will not bring your apple pie. She does not like it and has been afraid to tell you the truth." ash starts to shake but he answers calmly with a calmness that betrays his true emotions.

"Of course mom I will be there and I will not bring the pie. I am glad Bonnie is now telling me the truth. I love you mom." Stacy hung up. Misty was confused by the conversation. Dawn was as well however it was overshadowed by the fact that her boyfriend was sacred not nervous he was out right scared.

She warps her arms around him and kiss's him. That snaps him out of the stupor he is in. He looks at Dawn and Misty . He speaks but each word is spoken with fear.

"My sister is in trouble. That was a code that is used in the family. My father was a police officer and we set up a code to keep us all safe. Bonnie loves my apple pie it is the only pie she will eat." His fear is gone after a few minutes and replaced with his rage.

"Fred, Daphne and Velma have done something to my sister. I must go and help her." Misty nodded. Dawn did as well.

"I am going with you. I sense a trap and I will go with you as backup." Dawn said. ash wanted to argue but he knew he needed backup. Dawn was a powerful fighter and someone not to mess with. So having her as back up was good. He looked at Misty .

"I know you want to come but I have a feeling that something may happen to the girls. You are needed here. I can call for some back up if you like." Misty learned long ago not to ignore ash's instincts. So she agreed.

ash called the Hex Girls. They had finished their tour a few months ago and were looking for something else to do. ash called them and explained what was going on. Four hours later they arrived after that ash and Dawn left to go to his old home. he took Lillie and Phanty and Ruby with them to along with 10 Othervampires

They ran to his home. As a werewolf and vampire's they could run fast. The trip that would normally take a few days by car took about three hours. Dawn made ash stop a few times. He was not happy about it. She pointed out to him that he would be no good to his sister if he was exhausted.

Dawn hugged him on the last time and when they were about 3 miles away.

"I know you are worried about your sister. We will not let anything happen to her. we will help you. Your former friends want you not your sister. he said i know were they are a clubhouse we used in the old days(In Pikachu Doo 2: Monster's Unleashed. Think of the cabin in the swamp.)

the gang was not ready for him. They figured they would have more time.

Velma pointed a gun at ash's head. Using the girl as a shield they back out and make to drive away. However Velma feels a cold hand on her. In a flash Phanty was next to ash with Bonnie in her arms. Velma starts to open fire with her gun.

ash and Dawn dodged them. Some how Velma had modified the gun to have unlimited ammo. She had found a spell book that allowed her to do it. A cry was head in the night a cry not heard from the gang in at least half a decade.

"Puppy Power." Scrappy charged Velma and knocked her down. ash placed his sister in Phanty's arms. and told the other 10 vampires to attack and they did.Bonnie was knocked out. Phanty faded into the shadows back to her boyfriend's home. Neither wanted Bonnie seeing this if she woke up and she needed to be treated. Scrappy and ash were standing together. The gun Velma had was knocked away. Sadly she had more.

Fred and Daphne drew them as well. Before they fired ash started to laugh. His former friends thought he had lost it. The truth is no he had not lost it. He had an evil look that none had seen him have before.

"You think you have won. I did not want Bonnie to see what is about to happen and I wanted her safe. Now that she is I will unleash my full power." Fred was not always the brightest how he became leader of the gang was a mystery in itself. The answer was at least ash thought was Velma and Daphne thinking he was hot want along with it. ash wanting friends went along with it as well.

"ash why did you hide your power? Before we kill you I must know." Fred asked. ash almost felt sorry for Fred.

"Simple at the time I did not have full control over them. It took me five years to master them. Do you know what it is like to struggle day in and day out with your powers? No you don't" Before Fred could react he felt a hand stab him in the chest. It was as the life was leaving him did he realize the mistakes he had made.

"I am sorry ash." Fred said to his once best friend. ash smiled. By the way a note ash had not transformed yet he felt it was not needed. Plus he only his that form for worthy foes. His former friends were not.

"I accept but I gave you your life once I will not allow you to get away with harming my sister."

Velma and Daphne opened fire on ash. ash was able to dodged the bullets. Velma took out some Sarah and started to try and place it in front of ash. ash laughed.

"That is just a myth it does not work." Daphne ran at him. She started to engage him in a martial arts fight. Daphne thought she would win. She would not win. You see she always beat ash in the spars. She did not know that ash had let her win every time.

She goes for a comb that ash blocks. He then counter attacked with a comb to her stomach causing her to double over in pain. ash then grabs her head and using his claws stabs her in the stomach. He was able to transform certain body parts at will. Daphne was close to death ash aimed for vital arteries. She too had seen the mistake. She too had apologized. ash gave the same response.

It was just him and Velma. Velma was nervous very nervous. Everything she attempted had failed. She combines the three guns that are left over. All three were hand guns 50 caliber. Using some magic she is able to make the gun stronger and the bullets as well.

The only problem is that the unlimited ammo takes time to reload after every 30th shot. She starts firing at ash and Scrappy. Scrappy the whole time had just watched. He did not care what had occurred. Harming a child was unforgivable in his book. Attacking adults was better in his book. ash charged Velma and slashed the gun in half. He then ripped off Velma's arms. Velma started to cry as the blood was being drained. She saw it all. Every bad thing she did.

"I am sorry ash for cheating on you and for hurting you and for harming Bonnie . The school is in danger. You were an amazing person. Good luck in life." ash knew it was not. Misty told him that the Hex Girls used their magic to make the troops go to a different place. ash forgave her and wished her peace. He hated her and them but he would give them a proper burial. Scrappy helped and told why he was here.

After getting out of jail he wondered. He went to visit Stacy. He heard the gang and watched as they kidnapped Bonnie . He was not going to allow that to occur. ash came a little while after so he stepped in. ash thanked Scrappy and the two head towards his house.

Stacy was nervous. It had been an hour since her son had gone to get her daughter back. She was starting to get worried about him and her daughter. She was startled out of her thoughts when she hears a soft pop and sees a young woman about ash's age. She has long red hair and bright green eyes.an a ghost In her arms is Bonnie who is in a deep sleep.

The woman puts Bonnie down on the couch and starts to look Bonnie over. Stacy has many questions to ask like who the woman is and why she has her daughter and what is she doing to her daughter. However before she can ask the woman speaks. She speaks without looking at Stacy.

"I promise Mrs. Ketchum that I will answer all questions soon. Let me make sure Bonnie is ok. I promise you I mean her no harm." Stacy was unsure but she got a feeling that this woman was safe. So she let the woman check on Bonnie . A few minutes later the woman turned around.

"Bonnie is in great shape. They did not touch her. She will be scared when she wakes up so I suggest you hold her." Stacy is happy by this news very happy. She goes and picks up her daughter and pulls her close to her chest.

"I do not wish to sound rude and ungrateful for I am very grateful but who are you?" The woman smiled and bowed.

"I am Dawn. I am ash's girlfriend and one of his best friends. We got your call and were furious when he figured it out. I had to prevent him from going wolf not that it matters anyway." Stacy was stunned. This woman was her son's girlfriend. She had no idea how to react. So far Stacy liked her more than Velma. Now Stacy liked Velma as a person she did not like her as her son's girlfriend. Stacy never felt Velma was the right person for ash but more on that later.

"What do you mean it does not matter?" Stacy asked. This caused Dawn to smirk and it was an evil smirk. Stacy was now regretting asking the question.

"Fred, Daphne and Velma will not live to see the next sun rise for ash will kill them. Before you judge him please consider this. Velma tried to kill him in Texas and nearly killed a little girl instead. Had ash not taken the bullet the girl would have been killed. ash asked me to spare them out of respect. Afterwards they kidnap his little sister. He will not take chances. Mystery Inc is no more." Dawn said.

"Please do not misunderstand I am happy that he did it if it protects him and Bonnie . So since we have time tell me about yourself." Stacy said. Dawn smiled and did. She told Stacy she was a vampire.

"I am a vampire however I don't like human blood. Actual that is not true. I like ash's blood I really like it a lot. To me it taste better then chocolate and I really like chocolate." Stacy was a little worried however Dawn seemed harmless. Stacy did get the impression that if you piss Dawn off she will kill you. She was right of course for Dawn was a kind person unless pushed. If she was pushed it was not pretty.

"So what does it take to get you mad so I do not do it." Stacy asked. Dawn smiled she really liked Stacy. She was up front and honest and protective of her kids. Dawn respected that she now understood why ash respected his mother.

"It takes a lot to get me mad normally. Harming the people I love is the sure fire way. Hurting children and being a rapist gets me mad. I only love two people right now my little sister who is about Bonnie 's age and ash. So seeing Bonnie in that state I saw my little sister and I admit was enraged. " She had to pause or else her rage would take control of her.

"I will be honest I have killed others all in self-defense. My parents died when my sister was young. So I raised her. A few tried to kill her and I killed them first. I do not enjoy the killing but I will do what it takes to protect the ones I love." Stacy made a note not to piss of Dawn or if she did make sure her will was in order first.

Stacy also admitted that Dawn was interesting. She knew now why her son was dating her and why her son loved Dawn. At least she assumed ash was in love with Dawn. She knew her son would not date a woman if he did not have strong feelings for that woman. He did not date her and love her because she was beautiful however she guessed it was a bonus. It was most likely due to her heart and her strength. Stacy was right of course which proved that she knew her children.

ash popped in a little while later. He had sent Scrappy to the Ghoul School to aid with the fight. The solider somehow broke through the spell and moved to attack the school. The spell only worked for a short time. The Hex Girls did not have time to make it last longer. The soldiers did turn around however they did not make it very far. Scrappy and Misty and mallow fought them and ended the troops. There were 15 of them in all. They had guns but compared to the power that Misty , mallow and Scrappy had guns were weak and useless.

Misty knew more troops would come so she asked Thorn, Luna and Dusk to make the school stronger and to hide it better. The girls agreed and worked on it. Misty afterwards hired them to teach. She was going to anyway since ash put in a good word. She knew the Hex Girls would do really well in the school.

Back with ash he was hugged and kissed by Dawn. ash gently took Bonnie form his mother and sat down with her on his lap. He used to hold her when she was younger since there mom worked late. He would put her to bed and a few times she would get scared form a nightmare so he held her. Dawn sat down next to him and put her head on his shoulder.

"I am sorry you had to kill them I know it was hard for you." ash was shocked that she had figured it out. Dawn smiled at that.

"I am a vampire I can smell their blood on you. It does not smell very good by the way only your blood smells good to me. Do not let that hurt you. You had no choice. It was them or Bonnie ." She then kissed him once more. She was letting him know she still loved him. Both were exhausted so they fell asleep. Stacy covered them with a blanket.

Bonnie woke up the next morning and noticed she was sleeping on someone. Looking up she sees her big brother. Dawn had gotten up she was making food for ash and Bonnie . Dawn was a very good cook. She was helping Stacy. Bonnie vaguely remembered yesterday and her brother helping her before she passed out. She wanted to stay awake but she had fallen asleep against her will. She did not know that Dawn used her magic to put her to sleep. Dawn was protecting Bonnie form seeing what her brother would do.

Dawn figured that Bonnie looked up to her big brother. She figured that if Bonnie saw her big brother kill then it would hurt the little girl very much and might cause her to break and or break her heart. It also might scare Bonnie . Dawn was right in a way. Bonnie would be saddened by seeing her brother kill. It would not have broken her for she knew her brother was protecting her. It also would not have scared her. She knew her brother would never harm her.

Bonnie having woken up hugs her big brother very tightly. The tightness of the hug was so tight that it caused ash to wake up for he was having a hard time breathing. He gladly hugged his little sister back. Bonnie was hungry so ash took her to the kitchen to get the food his girlfriend made. She did not leave her brothers arms.

Dawn had been watching and noted that ash was really good with kids. He treated his sister very gently and held her to make her feel safe. he would help hee sister out whdne she was scared.She knew he would make a great father if they had kids. She could gladly see herself married to ash and having kids with him. She blushed at that part but smiled none the less.

As a vampire she could have kids but only with her chosen mate. That meant when they made love for the first time she had to mark him. She had explained this to ash. ash accepted it and wondered what it would be like to be married to her.

Bonnie was a little scared of the red head woman. She was happy to see her mom but she felt safer with her brother right now. Dawn could sense the nervousness coming from Bonnie .

"Do not worry little one I will not harm you. I am Dawn I am your brother's girlfriend." Bonnie heard the last word and all fear was replaced with protectiveness. You see Bonnie went into what is sometimes called over protective little sister mode. It is the mode when a little sister that had a strong bond with her big brother feels no woman is good enough for her big brother. Either that or she has to make sure her brother is not going to be hurt.

Bonnie starts to channel her powers and objects start to move. Stacy is horrified and so is Bonnie when she realized what she did. However both saw that ash and Dawn were smiling.

"It seems I was right you are witch." ash said happily.

"ash you don't like monsters." His mom said.

"Mom I am a werewolf. I work at a school full of monster girls. The main teachers are my friends and honorary sisters and they are monsters. My girlfriend is a vampire. I do not fear them anymore. I only ran since it was wise. The villains after us wanted to kill us." ash said.

Bonnie was really happy to hear this new she hugged her brother. Dawn smiled at this. She was not scared of Bonnie 's actions. She found them to be cute. She got down to Bonnie 's level.

"I promise you little one I will not harm you brother. I love him too much to do that."she introduced her to her sister by saying this is ruby my sister and she well protect you until we go back to the school tomorrow the 5 just talked the rest of the day. ash puts Bonnie and Ruby to bed the same way he always did to put them to bed. He gave them a bedtime story and kissed them on the forehead. Downstairs he sees Dawn and his mom talking.

"Mom if you want we can take Bonnie back to the school with us. Three new witches have just been hired they can help her learn to master there powers." Stacy had only one question. You see she wanted her daughter to master her powers so her daughter could live a normal life.

"Do you trust these three?" Stacy asked her son point blank.

"Yes mom I do. I trust them 100 percent. Do you wish to meet someone form the school?" Stacy nodded that she did. Dawn had put her head on ash's shoulder. She liked doing that. With a call and few minutes later Lillie appeared. She went to check on Bonnie at Dawn's request. Dawn was decent when it came to wounds but Lillie was a master at it. Lillie confirmed Dawn's findings that Bonnie was ok.

"We will be honored to have her. I am sorry that the headmistress could not come. We had to make the attack look like an accident to the federal government. It has worked but it took a lot out of the headmistress and the Hex Girls."

Stacy's eyes bugged out at that. ash smiled at his mom's expression. Lillie went home after a hug. Dawn and ash went to his old room and fell asleep. Stacy should have been worried that her son had a girl or woman in his room and bed. However her son was a grown man and was powerful. She also trusted her son. She went to bed shortly afterwards

Bonnie woke up the next morning and went downstairs to get some food. She was given the offer to go to a school where she could train in her powers and meet others that were like her. She accepted and got her cloths and a few other personal items ready to go. After a goodbye and three hours later the three were off ash teleported his sister to the school.

They land by the school and a few moments later Dawn appears next to them. Bonnie was amazed at the school it had a creepy look to it but also had the feeling of home. It was very hard to explain so Bonnie never tried to explain it. She would say that you had to see it to understand. Her bother used to say that now she understood why he did.

Getting in they are greeted by a woman with purple hair and kind green eyes. She also sees two girls her age one with red hair and brown eyes and one with black hair and green eyes. Bonnie was like her brother same hair and eye color. The purple haired one smiled at Bonnie .

"Welcome Bonnie to the Ghoul School I am Misty the headmistress. I would like you to meet your roommates." Misty pointed to one girland introduced her as Sarah. and yuo know your other roommate ruby.

They helped there new roommate to their room and started to unpack.

Bonnie was nervous but at least if things got really bad her brother was nearby to help her so she was not alone. After a few minute's Ruby could not take the silence anymore. She was a very outgoing girl and did not understand when others were not. Well she was now when she first started at the school she was closed mouth. ash helped her out of her shell.

"I know you are scared and nervous. It is hard to be different in a world where we have been hunted. Just know we are friends you are not alone. Like my big sister I am a vampire and Sarah is a snake and I am guessing you are a witch."

Bonnie then found out that Ruby's big sister was Dawn the woman that was dating her big brother. Ruby and Bonnie seemed to get along better afterwards. The three girls talked the rest of the day before dinner. Bonnie then meet the rest of the staff at the school and liked them all she knew it would be hard to adjust to the school but she would do it. She loved a challenge after all.

She nearly fainted when she discovered the magical teachers and the ones that would train her were the Hex Girls. Later that night in there room the three girls talked about things. Ruby wanted to know what it was like having ash as a bother.

"It was really good. Our father was killed during a mission one night he was a cop. We had enough money to live but mom needed to work it helped her. ash was there for me he would help me and comfort me. Many times I would have nightmares he would hold me during the nightmares." She had to pause.

"When he was on the road he would always bring me back a gift and he would always every night call or email me if he could. I still remember the poster signed by the Hex Girls that he got me and I could not believe it. Now I understand how he got it."

Bonnie was never told the truth about the poster until today. Bonnie never asked she was too happy to have gotten the poster. Bonnie wanted to know more about Dawn. So she asked her friend. Sarah was asleep but she was happy to have made a new friend. None of the girls knew it but a powerful bond was formed that day between the three girls one that would last them until their deaths.

"She was basically my mom and dad rolled into one. She taught me everything how to feed, how to take care of my fangs, how to read and write. She was there for me when I fed for the first time. Every milestone in a child's life she was there for." Ruby had to pause for a second.

"My sister never backed down form helping me she was always there for me. I would be lost without her. I would not be me without her and your bother." Bonnie and Ruby talked about the relationship among their siblings and how both were happy about it. Bonnie liked Dawn for she could sense her heart and tell that it was good.

"So do you think they will marry?" Ruby asked. It was something that she had been wondering. Bonnie thought about it.

"My brother loves your sister that much I know. He does not date someone unless he has strong feelings for her. He has had a few relationships and none of them have lasted this long so I am very sure that they will marry. When he will ask her I do not know but I feel he will. Why do you ask?" Bonnie answered.

Ruby took a pause she had to think about it. After a few moments she spoke.

"About three years ago I convinced the headmistress to hire my sister as the security guard. I sensed that ash and my sister would be good for each other." Bonnie now understood why her friend was so curious.

"Do they know?" Bonnie asked. Ruby mentioned that she was scared to tell them.

"My brother will not care that it was a setup he might think your sister will want to leave him. For all that my brother portrays he has little self worth. I am not sure about your sister." Ruby thought about it and the two fell asleep. Ruby had told this all to Sarah so both her best friends knew.

Meanwhile Scrappy was in the headmistress office. Misty asked him if he wanted to take the job offer and he had accepted. He was going to be working as a guard like Dawn. Misty was hoping to give Dawn some support. ash aided her at night with her portals. It gave them an excuse to spend more time together.

Now they did not have many problems with the girls. The only real problems were that the girls would sneak out to use the gym or library so the two would have to gently remind them that it was time for them to be in bed.

They should have given punishments but for the most part they did not. Unless it was more than once then they did not give any. Misty knew this and looked the other way. She was looking at Scrappy.

"Now Scrappy I am willing to give you a chance since I know you have seen the error of your ways. However if I even get the hint that you are going to hurt the girls I will end you. I will not waste time I will not think about it I will end you plan and simple." Scrappy nodded that he understood and promised not to do anything to harm the girls. It was bed time Bonnie could not go to sleep with out ash reading to her and singing a song to her so she asked him to read me and my friends a story and sing us a song he did he sang them this song

I'm gonna cast a spell on you

You're gonna do what I want you to

Mix it up here in my little bowl the hex girls heard the song and came in and started to sing with him

Say a few words and you lose control

I'm a Hex Girl and I'm gonna put a spell on you

I'm gonna put a spell on you

I'm a Hex Girl and I'm gonna put a spell on you

Put a spell on you

You'll feel the fog as I cloud your mind

I'm gonna put a spell on you

I'm a Hex Girl and I'm gonna put a spell on you

Is our one desire! If you have a bad dream you know where to find me he went to his Room an hour later Bonnie and Ruby and Sarah came in he said what is wrong they said we had bad dreams he let them sleep with him Dawn came in at 5 o'clock and saw them she wok him up he said they had bad dreams so i let them sleep with me

It had been six months since then. Bonnie had been doing very well mastering her powers. The friendship Ruby, Bonnie and Sarah had only grown stronger. This was something that ash and Dawn were happy to see. ash was teaching history this time Dawn could not be there since she had to escort some of the girls on a trip. So ash picked this time to speak to Ruby. He asked that Ruby, Bonnie and Sarah stay after class.

"Now before you ask no you are not in trouble. I need to ask you something Ruby and you to Bonnie I figured Sarah would find out later so it saves time. First I would like to note that you three are very strong and a great team. Keep that up for it will help later in life."All three girls smiled at this complement form there favorite teacher.

"Ruby I love your sister very much and we have been dating for a few years. I wish to ask her to marry me. However I would like your permission to do so. Bonnie I would like to know how you would feel about it?" Nether Ruby or Bonnie saw that coming at all.

Ruby threw her arms around ash in a hug so did Bonnie . After a few they broke off the hug. Ruby spoke with a huge smile on her face.

"As long as you promise never to hurt Dawn and to always love her and to make her happy then yes I give permission. Just make her happy." ash smiled at that. Bonnie smiled and gave her permission as well. For she felt Dawn was perfect for her big brother. The three friends left to get there work done. They spent the night talking about what will happen. Ruby knew she had to come clean soon but she was scared.

Later that night Dawn got back and she was tried. The trip was long and she had not had her blood. She did not want to take advantage of ash so she had not asked him. She loved him and felt taking his blood was just using him. However that night he presented his neck and she took it.

"Dawn Saturday is our2 year anniversary I wish to take you someplace special for it. Will you go with me?" ash asked. Dawn smiled she knew ash was up to something she could feel it so she agreed to the date. ash carried her back to their room since she was out of it due to her feeding. He placed her in bed and got ready himself. Once he was done he went to bed himself.

Dawn in her sleep latched onto ash and ash hugged her close to him. He had a smile on his face hoping for the best in a few days when he asked her to marry him. He was nervous that she would say not but he was not one to back down. In his heart he knew it was the right choice

It had been a week and today was the 2nd anniversary of the day ash and Dawn became a couple and starred to date. Dawn took out her necklace. It was in the shape of a small cat that was red with brown eyes. Dawn told ash that Ruby made something like it for her when she was young. Dawn treasured the necklace. However one day she lost it and could never find it no matter how hard she ahd tired.

ash knew this so for their first anniversary he got her one that was just like it. Ruby helped to make it. Dawn cried when she got it. She fell deeper in love with ash that day. It showed her how much he cared for her that he went through great lengths to make a replacement for her. Dawn had not taken it off ever and she never would.She was wearing her best dress. It was a light blue dress that was somehow able to complement her hair and her eyes perfectly. When Dawn was picked up by ash she was taken aback by how handsome he was. Now to Dawn he would always be handsome. Somehow he had become even more so. He was wearing a nice pair of pants and button down shirt. He had not tried to fix his hair since Dawn made him promise to never do it again.

The two walked out and teleported to a restaurant it was Dawn's favorite one. Dinner was very nice she rested on ash's shoulder and ate her food that way. Once dinner was eaten and paid for ash took her out to the forest near the school. It was about 10 miles into the forest there was a clearing with a small pond that got its water from underground rivers that led to the ocean.

Dawn loved this spot and often times the couple would have romantic picnics here. Tonight the moon was shining brightly and reflected very well off the surface of the lake. Overall it was a breathtaking sight and one Dawn would remember until her dying day.

ash got down on one knee and took her hands in his. Dawn suspecting what was about to occur smiled and held her breath.

"Dawn I still remember when I first saw you. My thought was beautiful you were by far the most beautiful women I have ever met. However I told myself I should not need jump or else I will be in trouble." He took a pause to smile and so did Dawn for she had similar thoughts.

"I took the chance to get to know you and it was the smartest thing I ever did. I love you Dawn and I went to spend the rest of my life with you by my side. Will you please marry me?' He pulled out a little black box and opened it up.

Inside was a ring it was a diamond not too large but not to small it was the perfect size for Dawn and what she wanted. Around the diamond were three rubies. It was on a black band that was gold turned black. Dawn smiled brightly and held out her hand.

"Yes ash I will marry you. Nothing and I mean nothing will make me happier. I will gladly be your wife." She then kissed him once more and once the kiss was done she made him sit down and put her head on his chest. She fell asleep with a huge smile on her face the brightest and happiest he had ever seen on her or anyone for that matter.

He teleported with her back to their room and got into bed with her and pulled her close and fell asleep also with a bright smile on his face but not before saying I love you to her. He vowed that he would tell her that every night before he went to bed. He did it when they first started to date and now he would reinforce that vow.

Dawn woke up and her first thought was that last night was a dream a wonderful and realistic dream but a dream none the less. However she noticed two things right away. One she was still in her dress she wore last night and she had her engagement ring on.

She got really happy for it meant that last night was not a dream. Last night ash asked her to marry him and she said yes. She was going to be ash's wife. However she wanted to talk to two people first. When ash woke up she told him what she wanted to do and who she wanted to talk to and he told her ok no problem.

He did not tell her that he had already spoken with the two Dawn wished to speak to. He figured it was important to her so he would not stop her. Later that day Dawn found Ruby and Bonnie and asked to speak with them. Sarah was asked to come as well. She figured that Sarah would find out later.

"Bonnie as you have noticed I am wearing a ring. Your brother last night asked me to marry him. I said yes without any thought or hesitation. I love him and want to marry him. Will you be ok with me doing that?" She asked Bonnie . Bonnie smiled a very bright smile before she said.

"Yes that is wonderful news and would make me very happy. You are far better for my brother then the four eyed one. I never liked her not even a little. You I like very much and will be happy when you become my sister in law." Bonnie said this caused Dawn to smile and to hug the young girl.

"I promise I will never hurt him and you will never lose him." It caused Bonnie to be very happy. For Bonnie did fear that once her brother was married he would stop spending time with her and would want nothing to do with her. Bonnie and Sarah sensed that Dawn needed to speak with Ruby alone so the two left to do homework. Dawn and Ruby walked outside to speak.

"So Ruby how do you feel about this me marrying ash?" Dawn asked her little sister. Dawn had seen her little sister smile a few times. However the smile she saw on her sister now was the biggest and the happiest she had ever seen.

"Yes that would make me very happy. I know he loves you and as your little sister and almost daughter that is all that matters." Ruby's face then changed to one of deep worry. Before Dawn could ask Ruby spoke.

"I am the reason you two are together. I was the one that convinced Misty to hire you so you two could meet. Please don't hate me." Ruby started to cry and it was true terror something Dawn had not seen in a long time in her little sister. Sure Ruby had nightmares before but she had never been afraid. Dawn pulled her sister into a hug.

She now understood a few things. She was not upset with her sister not even close to that. She pulled her little sister even tighter to her chest.

"I could never hate you for I love you very much. You were only looking out for me. You were trying to make me happy. ash will feel the same way so do not worry about that. We both care about you." Ruby stayed there in her sisters arms and cried. Holding back this knowledge was hard and it was all coming out at this point. The flood gates had opened and they would not be closed quickly.

She passed out form crying so much in her sister's arms. Dawn gently picked up her little sister and carried her back to her room. She placed Ruby in her bed and asked her friends to look after her. Dawn then hugged Bonnie and Sarah which took them by surprise.

"Thank you for being friends to my little sister. It means a lot to me. I know you guys will not do why my friends and ash's friends did." She then left to eat with her fiancée.

"She set up the meeting and has been worried that we would hate her." ash asked. It sounded so much like a question but it was not. Dawn just smiled. That night they went to bed and hold on to each other.

Dawn was not usually nervous in fact fear and the likes of it were foreign to her. The only thing that would cause fear to enter her heart was her sister or ash getting hurt and now Bonnie and Sarah. The last two had warmed their way into her heart. However at this point she was nervous very nervous now why do you ask.

The answer was Stacy Ketchum s for tonight Dawn and ash were going to have dinner with her. ash had called his mom the day after he asked Dawn to marry him and her answering yes. Stacy told him he wanted them both over for dinner and Ruby, Bonnie and Sarah were invited as well. So ash got permission from Sarah's mom to take her.

The young snake girl's mom trusted ash so she agreed to allow her daughter to go. Stacy wanted to meet her daughter's other best friend. Stacy was very cool and accepting of the fact that her son was a werewolf and engaged to a vampire. She was also ok with the fact that her daughter was a witch.

She understood how her son became a werewolf it made sense in a twisted sort of way. She did not understand how her daughter was a witch that made no sense to her at all however she did not care. ash and Bonnie were her children and that was all that mattered to her. Stacy had a lot of time to think about Dawn.

Now she had only talked to Dawn for a few hours and knew little about her in comparison to Velma who she knew longer and talked with longer may of the talks annoyed Stacy. However Stacy liked Dawn far better than Velma. Now sadly that was not saying much since Stacy did not like Velma much at all. Now she liked Velma as a person just not as a future daughter in law. She had been hoping the relationship between ash and Velma would not last. She did not want it to end that way it did however.

However Stacy liked Dawn better and would be glad to welcome Dawn to the family. To Stacy Dawn was kind and caring and had compassion the likes of which was rare in this day and age. Dawn was smart as smart as Velma but unlike Velma Dawn did not have the attitude that she was better than everyone else. Nor did she show off either.

Plus Dawn was far more beautiful then Velma now on that note Stacy knew she would have pretty grandkids and that made her happy. She also did not care about the beauty part. Dawn had explained that part to her and the kids. That night Dawn told Stacy all the ins and outs of being a vampire. Some of the things freaked her out. Dawn did admit that she took some of ash's blood and found it very enjoyable she went into great details about it.

That was something else Stacy liked about Dawn she was honest and upfront and also able to joke with people. She told Stacy that harming her loved ones would result in her going what she called crazy vampire mode which was not pleasant. She even told Stacy about her past with her ex. The whole blood thing freaked her out a lot but she was ok with it after some time and thinking.

Stacy liked Dawn for one other reason and that was a simple one. Dawn had brought ash out of his shell after Velma's actions. Dawn made ash well ash again and for that Stacy was grateful. Stacy could tell that Dawn loved ash and that was all that mattered.

Stacy was putting the finishing touches on the pasta and she made sure to have garlic. Dawn really loved garlic and that surprised Stacy. That was one thing that shocked her. She discovered that many of the myths about vampires were false. Sunlight did not harm Dawn unless she was in It for a long time, holy water only got her wet, a cross did nothing, she ate garlic a lot. A wooden stake through the heart could kill her Dawn did say.

She also pointed out that so could a gun or having her head chopped off. She finished up the expMisty tion like this.

"I am like a human the only difference is once a year I need human blood or else I will get weak and could die. I have great strength and speed and beauty." So Stacy made sure she had extra garlic for the two vampires that would be there.

Bonnie had been emailing her about her friends and both of them sounded like a lot of fun. She had no more time to think since there is a knock on the door. When she opens that door she sees her children and Dawn. She sees a little girl with the same hair color as Dawn with brown eyes and a girl with black hair.

She guessed correctly that the red head was Ruby and the black haired one was Sarah. Stacy was right which proved that ash got his detective skills form not only his father. Ruby and Sarah were a little weary at first of meeting Stacy. The girls at the school did not have many good experiences with mortals.

Sarah and Bonnie had their mothers but that was not enough other humans had tried to hurt them. .Bonnie also had her brother until he was transformed. Ruby had no human contact expect for Dawn's former friends. Ruby was unsure of them at the time and she was furious when her sister was hurt by them. However Sarah and Ruby respected ash and Bonnie so they would trust Stacy. In their minds if she raised ash and Bonnie then she was ok.

The point was proven when Stacy told Sarah it was ok for her to show her true form. Sarah was a little scared but a smile form ash put her at ease. So she dropped the spell she was under. She stood on two legs but had the body and tail of a snake. She was a Sarah color which is why she was given the name of Sarah.

Stacy smiled and commented on how beautiful Sarah was. Stacy was not at all freaked out by Sarah. When asked why she had this to respond to.

"My son is a werewolf and engaged to a vampire, my daughter is a witch her best friends are a vampire and snake. So it is normal to me." Sarah smiled and hugged Stacy this action took her by surprise but she gladly returned the hug.

Afterwards food was served and it was a fun meal. Stacy noticed that Dawn the whole time was nervous. It was getting late and the girls had all fallen asleep so all that were awake were Stacy, ash and Dawn. Stacy asked the question that had been bugging her and this was not about Dawn she would ask later about Dawn.

"Why are Sarah and Ruby so scared? It makes no sense Sarah was raised by her human mother." ash sighed unsure of how he should answer. Dawn snuggled up to him since they were on the couch. That was the sign that he should be honest. How he knew that was the sign was unclear he just did he never tried to figure it out it just made sense.

"Mom you need to understand all of the girls minus Bonnie have had bad experiences with humans. Sarah's mom and you are the expectation with most of the girls. Most parent they when they discover their kid is a monster they beat them and force them on the streets. Many are killed due to that reason. To them humans want to kill them. We are unsure how girls like Bonnie become monsters but we know it happens."

Stacy was unsure about how to take this in. She wanted to help out she did not know how to do it. She put it in the back of her mind to ask later right now she needed to talk to Dawn.

"So Dawn why have you been nervous around me?"

"I am sacred you will make ash leave me and I do not want to lose him." Dawn answered and ash pulled her into a hug and held her tighter. ash whispered into her ear that was never going to happen until they both died. This relaxed Dawn a little bit.

"Last time I was here I was helping Bonnie but it has been several months so I am worried." Dawn said but with less fear in her voice.

"You need not worry for I like you Dawn I really like you and I think you are perfect for my son. I can see the love in your eyes the love you both have for each other. Also you are much better then Velma. You are not arrogant like she is." Stacy said which caused Dawn to smile very brightly.

The rest of the night went like that talking close to ten ash and Dawn picked up the girls and teleported to the school. That night as they were in bed cuddling and ash was stroking her hair he spoke.

"I told you she would accept you." Dawn cuddled deeper for never had she felt this warmth and love before expect with her parents.

"I know but I can still be nervous." A kiss was shared and they fell asleep

It had been about a month since the dinner with Stacy. The wedding was set for four months in the summer. It was when Dawn wanted to get married and ash went along with it since he wanted his soon to be wife happy since that was all that mattered to him. Right now the couple was in the nearby city. By nearby I mean 20 miles from the school.

Supplies were needed for the school and Dawn and ash offered to go and get them. It gave them an excuse to grab dinner alone and spend alone time. All of the girls at the school knew about the marriage they were invited to the wedding but the couple still kept their relationship to their bedroom or outside the school. So being out of the school alone where they could be a couple was wonderful for them.

Now usually the trip was very uneventful however the higher powers must have been bored for that trip something happened. Dawn and ash were walking hand in hand together. That was one thing that had changed at the school. They would walk hand in hand all the girls and the staff found it cute. By the way all of the staff members were invited to the wedding. All of them as little sisters to ash approved of Dawn.

As the couple was walking ash noticed that Dawn started to get tense really and he meant really tense. She put her head on his chest and ash knew what she was asking so her pulled her closer to him. She started to calm down but she was on the edge of tension.

"Remember the Alamo." Dawn said and ash knew what she meant. She was telling him trouble was around and asking him to let her handle things unless it was getting out of hand. ash knew that Dawn's old friends were nearby or at least her ex boyfriend. After Texas and after they got engaged they vowed to never spare anyone that attempted to harm them again.

The reason being Bonnie was nearly killed due to that and they were not going to allow that. So if someone wanted to harm them they may go after ash or Dawn's family and that was not cool. Someday they wanted children and no one was going to harm their children. A mother bear had nothing on Dawn you can ask Ruby for she had seen Dawn go what she called scary vampire mode when Ruby was in danger.

The two walked out of the town and to a hill. They knew three people had followed them. They wanted to lure them outside to prevent innocent ones form suffering or being caught in the crossfire. Plus the forest which was nearby was there home and they felt stronger near it. Dawn and ash stopped and turned around. Standing before them were three humans one female and two males.

The female had black hair and blue eyes the male she was next two had black hair and green eyes. The last male had blonde hair and blue eyes. Of the two males the last one was very handsome and ash knew he was Dawn's ex boyfriend.

"Well my three former friends to what do I owe this visit? By the way ash the female that is Serena , the black haired one is Joe and the last one is Steve." Dawn looked claim and it fooled her former friends but not ash. Before Serena , Steve and Joe could say anything ash spoke.

"Well I must say Steve is a very handsome man I can see what you said about him. He is very handsome I wonder how he got to be that handsome."

"You have no right speaking about me monster?" Steve said.

"Look everyone I am in a great mood ash and I are getting married in a few months and I would like to enjoy spending time with him. Before you try anything yes he knows I am a vampire and it does not matter to him. Out of respect I will let you three walk away this once I know that is stupid but I am being nice."

She had to take a pause before she spoke again. When she did her voice was quite but deadly non the less.

"If you refuse to walk away or you come after me or my family I will kill you end of story."

Dawn and ash made ready to leave but a few words were spoken that made Dawn really mad. She had entered scary vampire mode as Ruby would say.

"I think we should visit Ruby and have some fun before we kill her." He never finished his statement for a clawed hand was stabbed in his heart killing Steve. Unlike ash's friends he had no remorse or regret part of the reason being he may have not had time to he was dead before Dawn removed her hand.

Joe pulled out a cross and held it in front of Dawn. Dawn pretended to be hurt by the cross. Joe thinking he had won advanced towards Dawn. When Joe least expected it Dawn charged him and ended him like she did Steve. Like Steve he had no remorse or regret. His lack of time it was unclear if that was the reason.

"Serena I suggest you run since I know you would never harm another. I warn you come near me or my sister or my family I will kill you. We were friends once but you are a threat. My sister says I have what she calls scary vampire mode when my loved ones are in danger. I will gladly entered that mode if pushed that far." Dawn said.

"I understand Dawn I wish you luck in life and congrats on your upcoming marriage. I never said this before since Joe and Steve stopped me. Thank you for saving my life. You were my best friend and I do not care if you are a vampire. I wish you luck and hope we can be friends once more." She ran off after that. However she stopped.

"Dawn I really want my friend back I want my sister back. I know it is a very slim hope but I can and will still hope that you will forgive me and want to be friends once more. ash do not hurt her and you know how to find me should you want to." Serena walked away after that.

Dawn using a match burnt the bodies of her former friends. She did not want to bury them properly. She felt that they had not earned that right. Dawn kissed ash and teleported home. She needed time to herself. So ash finished the shopping by himself. He was heading to the forest to teleport home when he got a scent.

"You know Serena you are not a good ninja. I knew you were following me for the least few hours. What is it you need?" Serena steps out and hands ash a note.

"Please give this to Dawn for me. I also wanted to see who you were as a person and see the one that won her heart." ash promised her that he would give the letter and left via teleportation. ash got to the school and put all the supplies in there correct spots.

He checked in with Misty and then used the mental link that was created between himself and Dawn or at least he would have if Dawn did not speak to him first. She asked him to come and hold her. So ash did just that and she grabbed on to him with a death a grip.

She then broke down crying hard. She had killed before but killing people you grew up with and were friends with was hard no matter what even if said former friends tired to kill you. She had no idea how ash was able to do it without crying or breaking down. The answer was he had her and that was enough to help him. He also had his little sister in his arms that night. "I will always love you my princess and nothing will stop that. Serena asked me to give this to you. if you want I can leave." She took the letter and ash got up to leave the room. Dawn did not like that she pulled him back and begged with her eyes for him to not let her go.

"Dawn I am sorry that I hurt you. You are my best friend and the person that did so much for me. If not for you Dawn I would not be who I am. I do not fear you or hate you. I wish I had the courage to tell you that sooner but I did not. Please forgive me and I hope to have my best friend and sister back someday. With love and respect Serena ."

Dawn was crying at this point but there was more in the letter so she finished.

"P.S. I think you found a great man I can sense his power and his love for you. In fact I can understand why you love him and I am a little jealously. I can see the unconditional love he has for you in his eyes. Here I am talking about boy or man troubles o well till next we meet even if we never next meet."

ash offered to leave so she could gather her thoughts. In response she clung to him tighter and begged him not to leave. This broke ash's heart so he held on to her. After about an hour Dawn spoke.

"What do I do about Serena ? What should I do about Serena ?" She asked. She had no idea what to do. She knew what she wanted but she wanted ash's thoughts on the subject.

"I think you should follow your heart. She means what she says. She wants her best friend back. What you do is up to you. Whatever you chose to do I will support you 100 percent."

"I want to give her a chance but I am not sure she should be at the wedding. I am still afraid it may be a trick. I know it is not a trick but I am still worried about it." All night ash held her.

Dawn was standing outside of Serena 's house it was the day after she killed her two former guy friends. ash was with her since she did not want to speak to Serena alone. ash was not being overprotective if Dawn had told him she wanted to do it alone he would have not stopped her. He would have stayed behind.

Serena was scared of meeting her friend once more. She did not know what Dawn was planning. Serena knew Dawn would fight anyone that aimed to harm her important people. The others promised to kill Ruby and Serena feared Dawn might think she was aiming to do that. Serena was not out of all of Dawns friends Serena was the only one Ruby did not outright fear.

Her other friends Ruby would not speak to. For Serena Ruby did talk to her a little bit not much but still it was a start. So Serena opened her door to see Dawn and ash. ash has no readable expression on his face. He only has the look that means hurt her and I will hurt you worse.

Serena 's first impression of ash was he was nothing special. However she remembered that Dawn did not fall in love easily. It took time for her to fall in love. So Serena figured there had to be something special about ash. He had a claim personality but could and would end any that threatened his important people. This she could tell right away.

Serena guessed that ash was also a monster or he was human but did not care that Dawn was a vampire. Serena was not expecting what happened to happen but her once friend pulled her into a hug. The two started to cry softly and after about an hour of crying words were spoken.

"Serena I want to be your friend again but I am worried. I am a vampire and many have tried to kill me over the years. A few have tried to kill Ruby. Someday I will have children and I do not want them to be hurt."

Dawn had to take a pause she was starting to lose it.

"So one wrong move and I will kill you. This may be harsh but ash spared the lives of ones that tried to kill him. A year later they tried to kill his sister. So we will not be nice anymore. If you can handle that we can be friends once more." Once more she had to pause.

"If you can't I will leave and you will never see me again." She let go of Serena since she was holding her the whole time. She then went to ash and his arms. He pulled her into a hug. They both sat down on the couch and she rested her head on his chest. ash started to stroke her hair gently.

"Dawn you are my best friend and like my sister. You have been there for me most of my life. I would not be me if you had not taken the time to help me. So yes I can and will support this I will not tell anyone and I will be you loyal friend once more." Serena spoke with all the conviction she had in her heart.

From there the two friends talked. ash held onto Dawn since she made it known that she did not want him letting her go. She was happy but still nervous. She wanted to trust Serena but she was weary of trusting. She now understood the saying a paper once winkled can never be perfect again. You can try to smooth it out but it will not ever be perfect.

The same with the paper applies to the idea of trust. Once it is broken it can never be repaired to the same degree. Now Dawn may trust Serena now and it would grow stronger but the same level of trust that existed between the two will never be the same. It was sad since Serena really was not at fault but that was the way life worked.

ash was smiling happy to see Dawn so at ease. He had been quite the whole time which slightly unnerved Serena and by slight the author means a lot. It very much unnerved her. She wondered if the guy talked at all. He was not even looking at her he was just holding Dawn and stroking her hair. Dawn was so relaxed and happy.

After about an hour Serena asked a question that Dawn knew was going to be asked. However that did not make it easier for her to answer it.

"Can I come to your wedding?" She asked with hope filled eyes.

"I would like you there but I am not sure if you can be there. I have to ask the place we are having it does not like many humans being there the only human right now is ash's mom." She took a pause and held up her hand to stall her friend form talking.

"We both work at a school full of ghouls or monster girls like us. All of the girl's distrust humans with the exception of one maybe two. So for you to be there it will not be well with the girls. It may scare them and might cause them to attack you."

"Someday we hope to have a world were monsters and humans can live in peace but sadly that day is a long way off." ash spoke for the first time. The rest of the day was spent relaxing. ash made dinner while the two friends just talked. He was happy that Dawn had her friend back once again. The dinner was eaten and enjoyed.

Serena made a comment about Dawn was lucky to have someone that cocked so well. Since for the most part Dawn could not cook very well. She was able to make something's but not a lot. She was not good at making pasta sadly which was her favorite food and her little sisters. Afterwards they left and before they did ash spoke.

"Serena if you hurt her again or hurt my family I will end you. I ended the lives of my three friends when they kidnapped my sister so do not think I will not do it." Serena was nervous but she spoke with conviction.

"I understand and I will not do that again. I will no longer be a coward." ash smiled it was a warm smile but one that promised pain if Serena stepped out of line. ash did not like to kill. However he knew the truth sometimes you had to kill. ash did not see the world as black and white.

Right and wrong did not exist in his world. He did what many would consider bad things. Killing in cold blood his three former friends was bad by any means. However he did it to protect his little sister and his mother. So while he did something bad it was for a good reason.

Dawn understood and accepted that. She felt that same way about the idea of black and white. She felt it did not exist. She lived by a saying not everything is black and white but your heart will always know what is right. ash lived that way as well. It was another thing the two had in common.

The night he held her once more for she was emotional drained. She was happy that she had another friend by her side. She did not want Serena at her wedding not only for the reason's she stated but because she did not trust Serena that much. She was starting to but it was not enough trust. She smiled and cuddle into ash arms she was exhausted so she fell asleep.

A few weeks later it is one of the events where parents can come and she what their daughters are up to and how they are doing. It was a huge party the likes of which was not seen in a long time. Each month these parties were held and each one got bigger and bigger. ash that last few parties the ones before he started to date Dawn were very difficult for him. Many of the single mothers took an interest in him.

One over all took the most interest in him. She had long black hair and bright green eyes she was about the same height as Dawn and her name was may. She was a very beautiful woman and a vampire and Dawn was a little jealously of her. Her daughter was the same age as Ruby and Bonnie and Sarah. Her name was Harper. She had the black hair like her mom but had brown eyes instead of green.

During some of the parties Dawn and may would talk and Dawn discovered that she was very smart and in many ways like her. So she felt that may could steal ash away from her. Dawn really liked may and the three adults became fast friends. Since ash started to date Dawn may made no move to try and seduced him.

That did not mean may did not hope for the relationship to fail she still did. She wanted ash for she had fallen in love with him but she was never able to work up the courage to tell him. So she was heartbroken to see Dawn with the ring on her finger. However she smiled and hugged them she had become a great friend to the couple they would often hang out together.

The three were talking first about the girls and then it moved to personal stuff. ash finally asked why may use to try and seduce him. Dawn was also curious about that answer. She had a feeling she knew the answer actually she did know the answer she was curious to see what may would say.

"My daughter talked about you and you helped my daughter greatly more than anyone has ever. So the first meeting it was meant as a way to say thank you since I felt a simple thank you was not enough." ash and Dawn were a little confused by this but waited for their friend to finish.

"I then got the chance to know you and I could see the pain in your eyes. I wanted to help heal your pain. I never asked what happened it was not my business. The others were there since you could resist me I figured having three you could not. I wanted to help you move on like you have helped my daughter." ash accepted that where as Dawn on the other hand did not. To be fair she knew may was telling the truth just not the whole truth. Later that night Dawn pulled her aside.

"Ok may talk, tell me the truth please. I will not be mad." The first sentence her voice was filled with some anger. The second sentence it lowered and was replaced with a gentleness and kindness only used with close friends. It gave may courage.

"At first yes I wanted to sleep with him to thank him. I was lonely and wanted someone to show me love even if for one night. When I first saw the pain in his eyes and talked with him after failing to get him to sleep with me, I fell in love." She had to take a pause.

"It has grown stronger and stronger. I never had the courage to tell him. I hope you two have a good life together you both deserve it. I will not lie I have wished that I could have a chance with him. I have wished that your relationship would fail. I have not attempted however to ruin it. You are my friend."

may expected to be yelled at or slapped but she was not. No what Dawn did took her by surprise. Dawn hugged her black haired friend. may started to cry softly.

"He is everything I was looking for that is why this is hard for me. Just be good to each other." Dawn understood how her friend felt. So she spoke without thinking but knowing it was right.

"Why not join us and become his second wife?"

"I can't mark him as my mate if you do. I want more children."

"Actually you can it is all based upon the power of the male. The more power he has the more vampire females that can mark him as there mate."

Looking up the two see Misty one of the over protective little sisters of ash and she had a smile on her face a smile that was not meant to scare anyone so may had no need to be scared.

"My father had many mates at least five that I knew about. He most likely has more by now and ash is far more powerful then my father so it should be no problem however it has to be love and you need to get Bonnie 's approval may and the rest of his little sisters and Ruby. You daughter already adores him so that will be no problem and I like you may." She had to take a pause.

"The choice is yours and yours alone. You are being offered happiness on a Sarah platter I would suggest taking it. You can join us here another security guard would be most helpful." Misty walked off after that. She left behind two confused vampires.

Dawn put her hand on her friends shoulder to relax her. She would not mind if may became ash's second mate. She knew that powerful monsters had more than one mate and ash was about as powerful as they come. If not more powerful.

"Think about it if you wish to do it let me know and we will work on Bonnie and the others."

"Is Bonnie that protective of her brother?" may had to ask she was not ready for the answer.

"Yes when I first introduced myself to her as her brothers girlfriend she started to use her magic to make sharp objects to impale me. She has threatened to harm me if I hurt her brother. I find it to be very cute."

Dawn walked off to check on the other parents and talk to them. may had some thinking to do. She went to find her daughter. Harper knew right away her mom was troubled but she also knew her mom would not speak about it. The mother and daughter spent the rest of the night together and had fun a lot of fun.

may stayed the night since it was late and going back was not a good idea. This whole time she had been thinking about what was offered. Misty was right may knew that so after her daughter went to bed and ash went to do his rounds she pulled Dawn aside.

"If you are still willing I want to try it." Dawn smiled at that.

"Good there is another reason I am doing this. ash told me that if we had never met he would have asked you on a date. So had I not come it would be you with the ring not me. I asked him this I was curious. " So the two vampires left to make plans after a short time they picked one.

ash gets back from his rounds to find his fiancé and may on the bed. may and Dawn were both in long nightdress's. He had no idea what was going on but he figured Dawn would explain it so he got ready in his night cloths which were a pair of long pants and that was all. Dawn had forbid him form wearing a shirt to bed after they got engaged.

She ripped his shirt off of him. She told him you can't wear a shirt anymore and ripped it off. After that ash never wore a shirt to bed again. After about five minutes he spoke.

"Not that I mind coming in to seeing two beautiful women in my bed I would like someone to tell me what is going on please." may gathered up all the courage she had and spoke.

"ash I lied early at first yes I meant to thank you but when we started to talk and I got to know you and I looked into your eyes for the first time I fell in love with you. I did not know how to tell you so I keep on trying. I had hoped to mark you and then explain." Dawn spoke next.

"So I figured why not have both of us since with how powerful you. You can have more than one mate mark you. If I had not come she would be here right now with the ring and part of my feels bad about it. Plus she is my friend."

may then kissed him after calling up all the courage she had. She felt her heart breaking until ash kissed her back. Once done with the kiss ash kissed Dawn and once done with that he pulled both to him. Both put their head on his chest.

"If you both are really ok with this then so am I. may you need to meet my sister and mom and my sister will test you." ash spoke.

"I am not sure how my daughter will react but I hope she will be ok with it." That night all three fell asleep. ash also promised to get may a ring once it was known she still wanted to marry him.

may woke up the next morning feeling great warmth in her heart. It took her a few minutes to remember where she was and what happened last night. As a result she started to panic when she felt that she was resting on someone. Thankfully the panic did not last long so she snuggled into the warmth.

Dawn had been watching and was smiling she felt the same way to first night she slept next to ash. She also snuggled into ash's embrace. ash woke up and he forgot last night what had happened for a second. ash was not a morning person. Well he used to be before he became a werewolf.

In the first few minutes after waking up he was not with it. So he was surprised that he felt not one but two females next to him. So he started to panic until he remembered what occurred last night. He did not see it coming last night he honestly did not see it coming. He kissed both may and Dawn good morning and told both he loved them.

It made may's heart start to beat faster and it did the same with Dawn. Dawn had heard it every morning since she started to date ash but it still made her happy to hear it. may it made her cry but she was happy none the less. Misty that morning noticed the three and smiled and started to laugh. When she told the others why she was laughing they did as well.

"I like her I think she is ok but if she hurts are brother I will destroy her." Lillie said this.

"I will aid you Lillie ." Thorn said this. The Hex Girls had all taken to the school really well. The three fit in with the staff so well many wondered how long the three had been teaching.

Later that day ash took Bonnie and Sarah for a walk. may took Harper and Dawn took Ruby for a walk. All three were going to tell the little girls what was going on. Sarah had become like a second little sister to ash since she came to the Ghoul School.

Bonnie knew her brother's expressions very well so she knew he was nervous but she also knew she had to ease into the discussion and by that she had to wait for him to speak. Her brother was only a coward when it came to feelings and emotions everything else he was brave.

Put him in front of a bullet and he would clammily face it and then dodge. Put him face to face with a monster only seen in nightmares and he would fight it. Ask him to talk about his feelings he would got find the monster with the bullets. Despite all of that Bonnie loved her brother and cared about him greatly.

"Bonnie you know of all of my adventures and it is safe to say that many odd things happen to me." Bonnie nodded her head for she agreed with that. She also rolled her eyes at that comment. Sarah also did for Bonnie had told of some her brothers adventures.

"Yes but that is what makes you well you and what makes you my brother." ash smiled at that.

"Ok well to make a long story short I am now engaged to two vampires. This was Dawn's idea I am still not sure what she was thinking or why she came up with the idea. It is Harper's mom." Bonnie was not expecting it but afterward she and Sarah started to laugh.

ash was expecting a lot of reactions from his sister however this was not one of them not even close. After his sister stopped laughing which took quite some time she spoke.

"Only you big brother would have two vampires fall in love with you. As long as she truly loves you and you do not hurt her and she does not hurt you I am ok." Bonnie then smirked an evil smirk. ash was unsure where she learned that form she suspected the Hex Girls had something to do with it mostly Thorn and Misty to.

"Wait till mom finds out she is going to be a grandmother." At this ash laughed for his mom would freak or she would be happy it was hard to tell it could go either way. He was unsure how his mom would react to him having two wives.

"I love you brother and nothing will change that you have always been there for me and you mean so much to me. I am glad to see you smiling again. You have not smiled in a while." ash hugged his little sister close to him. Sarah joined in the hug and the three sat like that for a while. ash was happy that his sister did not hate him.

Dawn was with Ruby and Ruby knew her sister slash mom's habits and thoughts. She also knew that she would have to wait for Dawn to speak. Dawn pulled Ruby into a huge hug which Ruby was very happy to return.

"Ruby I have done many things that are crazy and foolish and or some things I have no idea why I did them but in the end it was the right thing to do. Last night I did the last of them I would also like to do another of them of which I should have done a long time ago." Ruby nodded her head for she knew her sister and knew she had done all of those things. Ruby was curious so she asked Dawn to tell her.

"Last night I convinced ash to take a second mate. She is the mother of Harper." Ruby was not expecting that but she did not seem to care. She was more concerned with the second thing so she asked about it and told her sister the other thing.

"I know that many times you see me as a mother and have wished that I would be a mom and treat you like a daughter. If you still wish it I can make it happen. You will be listed as my daughter." Ruby hugged more like tackled Dawn and started to cry softly tears of joy.

"Why did you wait this long?" Ruby asked her mom.

"Two reasons, I did not want you to forget mom. The second reason is I never felt worthy enough to be called mom." Dawn pulled her daughter close. ash had pointed out to her that the two had more of a mother daughter relationship. He helped her see that and helped her stop fighting the idea.

"Above all I was scared I did not know how to be a mother. When mom and dad died I was scared that I would fail to take care of you the right away. So I acted as the sister not the mom since it is better to hate your sister for ruining your life then your mom." Ruby hugged her mom tightly.

"I think you are a great mom and have always been. I don't remember mom much only a little bit. I think you are more than worthy. You have never ruined my life you have helped me make a life. Does that mean he will be my dad?" Dawn smiled at that.

"Yes he is looking forward to it he told me so." This made Ruby really happy. She whispered I love you mommy to Dawn before she fell asleep. It caused a great joy to fill her heart once again. She was now regretting not doing this sooner. The smile on Ruby's face was wonderful to see and the joy in her heart was wonderful to feel.

may was with Harper and the little girl knew her mother was troubled but also noticed that her mother seemed happy very happy. So she waited for her mom to speak.

"Last night I confessed my feelings towards my future mate. I have not marked him yet but I will once we are married." Harper asked who it was.

"It is ash."

"Mom he is engaged to Miss Dawn, he loves her very much."

"I know it was Dawn's idea and he confessed that he loves me too and came close to asking me on a date. So I would like to know how you feel about it." Harper smiled.

"I will have a dad that is wonderful of course I am happy and you are happy mom."

may pulled her daughter into a hug. Later that night all four little girls were in there room. Misty had moved Harper into Ruby's Bonnie ' and Sarah's room. All four were talking and all four were happy.

"She has called me her daughter I am so happy about it." Ruby said. Ruby was happy she would get an aunt and a sister. Bonnie would be the aunt and it made everyone laugh. Later that night the adults were in bed the two vampires were cuddled up to ash.

"Thank you ash for helping me get rid of my fear I really needed it. I am happy and I think my mom would be as well." The three had filled each other in on the details. They fell asleep with smiles on their faces. Up above Dawn and Ruby's birth mom was smiling. She did not suspect this at all but she was happy none the less. Happy that her oldest daughter was treating her youngest daughter like a daughter.

As for ash having two mates as long as everyone was happy then that was ok with her. She whispered congrats my child you have done well and made me proud. The mother faded away.

It had been three days since ash asked may to marry him. After the girls all approved the next night he took may out to dinner and properly asked her to marry him. She cried tears of joy for a long time. Her ring was a small diamond the same size as the one Dawn wore. It had three small sapphires around it and it was on a gold band turned black.

may was still in shock but very happy. The Fearsome Four as Bonnie , Ruby, Sarah and Harper were called went into fan girl mode when they saw the ring may wore. They were called the Fearsome Four since on the field of battle and or the courts for sports they were very fearsome. No one could beat them and many were scared of them. No student could beat them the adults all could still.

They were as thick as thieves and every bit as deadly. Bonnie with her magic and her skills with a sword made her deadly. Bonnie wanted a backup in case her magic failed that is why she took to using a sword. Ruby and Harper both had the strength of a vampire. They could both strike hard each blow landed where it was aimed and each blow hurt a lot.

Sarah was faster than the vampires for she would go for a strike and then retreat. Her blows were not as powerful but they were still deadly for she would strike in the vital points and do it before anyone had time to notice. ash and the mothers were proud of them. Even Sarah's mother was proud.

All the girls at the Ghoul School learned to fight. The teachers wanted a world of peace but all knew that a war would have to be fought for that. So they trained the girls. The deadliest of the girls were the Fearsome Four.

Dawn and may were taking ash for a picnic lunch. Afterwards Dawn walked away for a bit and came back but she was not alone. In her arms was a gray puppy and gray wolf puppy. It upon seeing and smelling ash jumped out of Dawn's arms and rushed over to ash. It took a big sniff of him and then curled up in his lap and fell asleep.

Dawn was in shock complete and total shock. may had no idea what was going on but figured it was important so she waited for Dawn to speak.

"She really likes you ash it took me about four weeks for her to come close to me. Anyway I found her all alone and hurt so I helped her. She can be your friend." Dawn took a pause and had to pick her next words carefully.

"I am not trying to get you to replace Pikachu Doo. I never had the chance to meet him but from what the others tell me he was amazing. She needs a home and you could use a friend so I thought she could help you heal." ash asked Dawn to come over and when she did he kissed her.

"Thank you this means a lot to me. However she sees me as a dad so it looks like we have a daughter. I going to let her sleep for awhile and then talk to her. Thank you so much." may pulled out a book.

She handed it to him and in it were pictures of Pikachu Doo. may actual had meet Pikachu and had gotten pictures form all the girls at the school. When she told the girls what she was planning they gladly gave the pictures.

"I know it is not as meaningful as a puppy but I had hoped that it would serve as a reminder. I did get the chance to speak with him a few times and all of them were fun. I know it is not much but I hope you like it." ash was really happy about these gifts. The pain in his heart was gone.

The puppy woke up and started to growl at Dawn and may. ash started to pet her and whispered to her.

These are my soon to be mates. I love them and they will love you as well. So be nice to them please." The puppy growled that she would. She barked at ash.

"Daddy what is my name?"

"Let me see you are very pretty but I also sense you are dangerous. So how about Night Shade?" She started to lick her daddy's check. She really liked that name.

"Dawn, may met our daughter Night Shade." Night Shade stared to sniff the two vampires and she apologized for her meanness. The four went home. Night Shade was a huge hit at the school. She went to sleep that night in between Dawn and ash.

Three days later ash was back visiting his mother but the gang was there. By gang it was meant his soon to be wives, daughters, his sister and his sister's best friend plus Night Shade. Stacy was a very easy going person it took a lot to upset her and to get her mad. So she did not bat an eyelash at the two new vampires.

Harper and may were nervous about meeting Stacy but they trusted ash so they let it go. After eating Stacy asked who the two were.

"Stacy a week or so ago I convinced ash to take another wife." Dawn said this.

"I am the one. I have been in love with ash for a long time." may said this and then told her whole story. Stacy once the story was over started to laugh confusing everyone expect Night Shade who was asleep on ash's lap. It took a good five minutes for Stacy to stop laughing. No one saw this coming at all.

"Only you ash would get two vampires to fall in love with you." She said.

"So you are not mad?" ash asked he had not expected this not even a little bit.

"No when you told me you were a werewolf and when Bonnie started to use her magic I figured normal would never apply to this family so it seems right to me." Stacy said.

She then looked at Harper and then at may. She had put two and two together and had gotten four.

"So I am guessing this young lady that has been hiding behind you the entire night is your daughter and that would make her my granddaughter once you marry my son." may smiled. The girl spoke.

"My name is Harper it is nice to meet you grandma." Stacy started to hug her and she could feel the girl tensing.

"Mom remember what we have talked about with the girls." ash said to pull his mom off.

"I am sorry I forgot and I am sorry Harper. I know that humans have tried to hurt you. I promise you this I will never hurt you. I have always wanted to have grandchildren and I figured my children would never give them to me. Neither seemed interested in getting married. " The comment caused her two children to blush.

"I enjoy seeing ash blush but you have a second granddaughter or will. Ruby I have adopted her as my daughter. I should have done it years ago but I was scared." Ruby opened up her arms for a hug. Stacy was only happy to return the hug.

"ash who is the wolf? It has not left your side at all this night and it really likes you. I don't think she likes me." Stacy asked since she was curious.

"Well this is Night Shade. Dawn found her alone and gave her to me. She sees me as a father and Dawn and may as mothers. I think she likes you she can tell that you are my mom but she does not trust you."

"Any other surprise's?" She was joking but she got an answer anyway an answer that she did not like.

"Mom there is no easy way to say this. You are in danger and Misty would like you to come to the school you can help out." ash told his mom all traces of mirth and joy gone from his face.

"I am afraid to ask but I have to ask anyway." Stacy asked and she was truly afraid.

"My former friends are still alive. Dawn's former friends are still alive and all have tried to kill us."

"ash you killed them I killed them." Dawn said this and she was scared now really scared.

"Thorn performed a spell for me since something was off. Velma never changes her mind about something. She acted like she was sorry for her actions Velma would never say sorry if she thought she was right. So Thorn performed a spell and it confirmed it." ash said this and he had to pause.

"The spell was to detect if anyone that once lived was buried there. There is no sign of life near their graves. Not any at all. Even if the bodies were removed the spell would be able to tell. I am not sure how but they are still alive. All I can guess is either dark magic or they were clones of some sort."

Stacy got up and started to pack. Once she was done the three adult monsters teleported to the Ghoul School. Stacy looked at the building and now understood what her children meant. It was indescribable you had to see it for yourself. It looked dark but had a feeling of home.

The girls all went to their room since it was late and they wanted to sleep for they also had class in the morning. Stacy was now meeting the rest of the gang. She had meet Lillie and she liked the mummy woman. Stacy did very well with meeting the other four and the Hex Girls. All of them liked her and welcomed her with open arms.

The next morning Stacy was introduced to the girls and they were all weary of her. It did not bother Stacy she had this to say.

"I know I am human and I know humans have harmed all of you. I want to show you that not all humans are bad. Many are but there are some that are not. I will not ask anything form you girls that you are not comfortable with. I hope we can get along. I hope someday to have gained your trust."

The girls could sense her honesty and knew she raised ash and Bonnie so they gave her a chance."It had been about two months and today was the day that ash married not only Dawn but may. Stacy had adjusted to the school very well. She was the librarian and the girls liked her now. They all took a chance and the all accepted her. One day one of the girls gave Stacy a hug and it was one of the happiest days of her life.

The girls trusted her and learned that not all humans were bad. ash was once human but he was not now. So to the girls that did not count. Stacy on the other hand was full human. Many of the girls now knew they could start to trust humans. They always knew they should but many did not want to.

The girls were really looking forward to the wedding today. It was up to debate as to who was more excited the girls or the ones getting married. The teachers were all really happy. The Hex Girls were performing the music. When asked if they would the answer was something along the lines of don't be stupid we were going to do it anyway. There was also some slapping.

Misty was going to perform the wedding as the new vampire Queen. You see the law was that a vampire had to get permission from the leader if they wish to marry a non vampire. Dracula was the King so Dawn and may had to get his permission to marry ash.

The Count was not willing to let either marry Shag'gi. The Count respected and liked ash but ash was a werewolf. The count used werewolf's for his army but he would never allow any vampire to marry one. Misty was furious at that.

She saw the look on Dawn and may's face and knew her father had refused it was then that she got mad for the first time in many years. If Dawn and may married ash anyway then all three would die once the vows were said. She challenged her father to battle the winner is the new ruler of the vampires and the loser dies.

The three tired to tell her not to do it. However Misty would not hear it. ash was one of her best friends and she would not be who she was without his help. She had seen him smile and be happy the last few years and she was not going to lose it.

may and Dawn were perfect mates for her brother and she would not allow him to lose them. The battle between father and daughter was interesting. The Count was old but he was still very powerful and not to be messed with.

However Misty was also strong she trained day and night to not only master her powers but also her fighting skills. ash helped train her and she was deadly in combat. So when the battle came the Count thought he would win.

He was mistaken for his daughter was smarter, faster and stronger. The Count was defeated by his daughter and killed by his daughter. She shed no tears since her father was becoming a monster in the true sense of the word. Her father was killing humans and Misty was working for peace.

She got back to the school that night and told Dawn and may that they could marry ash and she would perform the wedding as the new Vampire Queen. She even made the two her advisors. She wanted to make ash one but she figured many other vampires would not like that yet. So he was her unofficial advisor as well as her friend.

ash hugged her and asked her not to do it again. He could live with not marrying but losing his sister he could not live with. Dawn and may agreed with that. She had this to say.

"I needed to take over anyway. I want peace amongst humans and monsters and my father made that hard. He was becoming evil and I did not like it. Plus I wanted to see you three happy. I knew I could end my father. You have trained me well brother."

After that Misty took over her role as Vampire Queen. She passed a few new laws one being no longer did vampires have to marry other vampires. If the vampire married a human they had to tell the human the truth about the vampire world and the monster world. She also ordered no more attacks on humans.

For feeding only go after the sick and the criminals or family members or friends that were non vampires no child was to be feed upon ever. If it was discovered that a vampire feed on a child Misty would personally kill the vampire in question. A vampire did do just that two days later and he was ended in a very brutally way. The police had no clue what to do and seasoned veterans were sick for days. The case was declared closed.

Dawn and may were prepared for the wedding they had their dress's all set up. may made her dress she was a seamstress and a very good one at that. She offered to make Dawns but Dawn politely refused. She had the dress already. She was going to wear her moms dress. It had been keep safe in her closet. Ruby was going to wear it when and if she got married.

ash had his tux picked out it belonged to his dad and it was one that he wore when he was married. The wedding party was odd since ash had only one guy friend he was the best man and that was Scrappy. ash's other best man or friend was Bonnie . and the flower girl was Sarah ash did not find it odd that most of his friends were female. Dawn's maid of honor was her daughter Ruby. may's maid of honor was her daughter Harper.

The day of the wedding had arrived and different emotions were running through different people. Stacy was thrilled to see her baby boy getting married and to two women that meant she could have many grandchildren. Dawn and may were no longer freaked out by those words and Stacy asking when they were going to have children.

The first few times the two vampires would blush and blush heavily. Neither of the two vampires minded the idea of having more children just the constant asking of when they would was driving them mad. Misty and the rest of the original five all felt that the two were perfect for ash so they were happy. Even Lillie was happy and she felt no one was worthy. Lillie for example hated Velma and hated her with a passion.

Lillie did do a dance when she discovered ash was no longer dating Velma. She then felt bad that she was happy her brother was hurt. She had explained this to ash and he understood and was glad that he had someone looking after him.

ash was nervous but all guys were nervous on their wedding day. However his nervousness was overshadowed by his joy. Dawn and may felt the same way. may it still felt unreal that her wish was coming true. The fearsome four were looking forward to it. Sarah was nervous but she was glad her mom had been allowed to come. In fact her mom was helping Stacy out in the library. She had been moved since ash felt it was a good idea.

Sarah was glad for she had a question to ask her mom. (Will come later.) The wedding was set and the two brides to be were nervous but happy. Each had the something old for Dawn it was the dress. For may it was the necklace she had it was her mothers. It was just a simple bat. The something new ash had gotten both of them a bracelet with the names of their daughters on them.

The something blue well I will not say but you can guess. The something burrowed was given to them by Stacy. She gave each a bracelet that she had made for them to wear on their wedding day. It simply said love conquers all. She had given it to them in the dressing room. Stacy had this to say.

"I wore that when I was married. When ash told me he was marrying you may I had another one made. Once the wedding is over I want you to give it to your children's spouse when they marry." Both promised they would.

"It is had been a tradition in my family as far back as my family has been around. So I thank you both. You both have been wonderful and I am really happy to welcome you into the family. Take care of him and make sure he does not do anything too stupid." Both hugged there soon to be mother in law and promised.

Ruby and Harper were helping their moms get ready. Ruby still could not believe it that Dawn was now her mom. Every day and night she told Dawn. I love you mom and every night and day Dawn would respond I love you to my daughter. Ruby did to make sure it was not a dream.

Both little girls were looking forward to having a dad. Stacy pulled her granddaughters into a hug. Harper now could accept the hug. She also pulled out two rings. Bonnie had a ring like this one. It was a simple gold ring that had one word inscribed into it. That word was family.

"Girls you are now a part of my family. I want you two to feel welcome. I want you to know you can always count on me. I am nowhere near as powerful as your parents but I can still help." She told them. Both girls hugged their grandmother.

ash was in his dressing room with Scrappy, Bonnie Sarah and Nightshade. Bonnie was surprised by something.

"You are not nervous. I expected you to be running for the hills right now." Bonnie said to her brother.

"Of course I am scared and nervous right now what normal sane person would not be." He took a pause a short one before speaking once more.

"Before you say it I know I am neither normal nor sane." This comment caused everyone to laugh and to break the tension.

"Yes I am nervous very nervous but that is all overshadowed by my happiness and joy. I am getting married to two wonderful women who mean the world to me. I will get two new daughters. What can be better?" Bonnie hugged her brother tightly.

"Don't worry little sis I will still spend time with you. I love you Bonnie and for a long time it was us two against the world. We have a strong bond and nothing will break that. That was why I started to date Velma. She understood our bond and accepted it. No one else beside Dawn and may understood. I knew when I dated that I needed to find someone that understood our bond."

Bonnie felt much better she had heard form Dawn and may that she would not lose her brother but she was still worried and it was good to hear it from him. It was one think to hear from her future sister in laws but hearing it from her brother made it more true. ash went out to wait at the altar.

Misty was waiting for her friend and bother. Misty was now the Vampire Queen but that had not gone to her head and it never would. She was always down to Earth. She was really happy right now seeing her brother getting married. She would admit that when Ruby pitched her plan she loved it.

She agreed with the little girl 100 percent that ash and Dawn needed love but she was unsure if they would be good for each other. The reason was Misty could feel the connection between ash and may. However after meeting Dawn she could feel it too. So Misty knew that her brother had two possible mates.

After speaking with the others she and they had decided to set him up with both. It took some work but it was easier than they thought.

"You do not seem nervous brother. I am shocked." Misty said softly.

"O believe me I am very nervous but it is overshadowed by my joy and I can't wait." ash said which caused Misty to smile. Nightshade was happy she was going to have two moms in her life. She never thought she would have parents or a family again. Afterwards they hear the music of here come the bride. It was the only thing that ash insisted upon everything else he went along with. Dawn and may did not care too much so it was an easy thing to agree to.

ash looked around and saw the most amazing sight in the world Dawn and may in their wedding dress's. Dawn was full length and had straps it was not fancy just a plan white dress that fit her very nicely. may was the same length but strapless and also not very fancy just a simple white dress and it fit her very nicely as well.

ash was stunned very stunned.

"You may want to close your mouth daddy." Nightshade said to her father which caused him to laugh and the same for Scrappy since he understood Nightshade. Misty also understood the canine language since her best friend was a werewolf.

"She is right I know they are drop dead beautiful but starting opened mouth is not right." ash laughed. Dawn and may got to the end of the aisle. Ruby was holding Dawn's hand and Harper was holding may's hand.

"Who gives this man away to these two women?" Misty asked. Stacy and Bonnie stepped up.

"I Stacy his mother do give away my son." Stacy said.

"I Bonnie his sister do give away my brother." Bonnie said. Now to be truthful Misty did not need to ask that but she wanted to and since she was marrying the three she could do it. It was a perk of being queen she could do what she liked.She looked at Dawn and may.

"Who gives these women away to this man?" The Vampire Queen asked.

"I Ruby the former sister now daughter of Dawn give away my former sister now mom to this man." Ruby said.

"I Harper the daughter of may do give away my mom to this man." Harper said. Ruby placed Dawn's hand into ash's and Harper followed suit with her own mother. Misty then gave the speech about love and the power it holds.

"Now it is time for the saying of the vows ash you go first." Misty said.

ash was in the middle and on either side was Dawn and may. He got in front of both and started to speak.

"I was lost and confused for awhile in my life. I had no clue what love really was and I was useless or at least I felt that way. I never and I mean never and I will say it again never thought I would find love with anyone. To find it with not one but two amazing women is the best thing to have every happened."

He took a pause everyone knew he was not done. Stacy was having a very hard time not crying. She was able to do it for now.

"Dawn you helped me see that life was worth living you showed me not to give up. may you showed me that I should not hold on to the past too much. Overall I love both of you. I promise never to betray you. I promise to always put you and our family first." ash had ended his vows.

Dawn and may were having a hard time not crying. Stacy somehow was able to win the fight and not cry. She was unsure how she did that. Misty then announced that it was time for Dawns vows.

"ash when we meet I was happy but felt something missing. I found in you a new best friend and over time I fell in love with you. I feel safe and happy with you. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I vow to always put our family first and to always love you." Dawn finished up. Misty looked at may.

"When we meet I could see the sadness in your eyes and I wanted to try and help you erase that sadness. I admit my ideas were not the smartest. I never would have thought I fall in love with you but I did and I am happy as can be. I vow to put family first and to love you." ash then placed the rings and after the I dos.

"You may now kiss the brides." Misty said. ash kissed both Dawn and may. At this Stacy lost it and started to cry. ash was a little freaked out to be honest.

"It is with great honor that I announce for the first time. Mr. ash Ketchum , Mrs. Dawn Ketchum , Mrs. may Ketchum and the daughters Ruby and Harper Ketchum." Misty said with tears in her eyes. That night after the huge party ash made love to both Dawn and may. Both women marked him as there mate. They feel asleep in ash's arms happy that they could soon start a family.

The three adults woke up the next morning naked in each other's arms. All three were content and happy.

"I thought it was a dream. A realistic and wonderful dream but a dream none the less. Now I know it was not." may said. ash gently and lovingly kissed her.

"If you ever doubt look at my neck." ash said. may and Dawn did and both saw a small mark on either side of his neck. This meant that both Dawn and may marked ash. It was a sign to other females that he was claimed so back off. If you looked on Dawn or may's neck you would see a mark as while. ash marked them both last night as well. It was a sign to others to back off.

ash did not like that aspect but he was happy so he did not think too much on it. Plus when he was turned into a werewolf he was told that some things would change and this was one of the them. ash was really happy all that was missing were little children that he could raise.

Now he loved that he had two daughters but he wanted to raise them form a baby. He wanted more daughters he was unsure about a son but he would worry about that later when and if the time came. If either Dawn or may told him they were carrying a son he would be happy really happy he would also be really happy if they told him they were carrying a daughter.

Sarah had just woken up and she was cuddle up to her mother. Sarah was able to sleep with her mom last night as a special treat. Normally if a parent was staying over they could not stay with their child. However Misty let it slide last night. She knew Sarah needed it. Plus Misty was in her happy mode.

Sarah's mom knew that her daughter was troubled by something. She just did not know how to bring it up. Finally she picked the direct approach. She warped her daughter in a hug and Sarah cuddled deeper into her mom. Sarah may be one of the strongest girls at the school but she was still a little girl at heart and her mother's warmth brought her peace.

"My little snake I know something is troubling you please tell me what it is I want to help you." She said. The little snake comment was corny but Sarah liked it.

"I think I am in love but I am too young and the one I think I love will never love me that way. It hurts mom it really hurts. How do I make the pain go away?" Sarah asked with a broken heart.

"Who is the lucky lady?" Her mom knew it had to be a girl and it did not bug her mom not at all that Sarah liked girls.

"Ruby, she is my best friend and I am scared mom really scared. What do I do please help me." Her mom looked at her.

"You need to tell her the truth. You need to tell her how you feel. She is one of your best friends and she will not turn away from you if you tell her. If you do not tell her you will always regret it. You will always have what if in the back of your mind."

"You support this mom?" Sarah asked. It caused her mom to smile.

"Yes as long as you are happy and she treats you right. Go and tell her for all that matters is that you tell her." So Sarah went to find Ruby. Once she found her three friends she asked to speak to Ruby alone. Ruby and the others did not bat an eyelash at this. Ruby however could tell her friend was upset or at the very least nervous.

"Ruby please do not interrupt me this is very hard for me to say." Sarah said which caused Ruby to nod her head. Sarah realized that she had lost her nerve so she grabbed Ruby and gently kissed her. Ruby started to return the kiss which gave hope to Sarah.

"I love you Ruby. I want nothing more than to be with you." Sarah said. She had put all her cards on the table and now she waited to hear form Ruby.

"I do not know what to feel Sarah I need a few days please. I will let you know. Is that ok?" Ruby said and asked. Sarah nodded. Ruby gave her a gentle kiss. She was letting her know that she was not outright rejecting Sarah's love. Ruby flew off to the garden.

It was there four hours later her mom found her. The three adults were getting ready to go on their honeymoon. Dawn could tell that Ruby was not doing very well. She wrapped her in a hug.

"So what has you this down?" Dawn asked.

"Sarah kissed me and told me she loved me. What do I do? I am scared and confused. Being with another girl is not allowed in many parts of the world." Ruby said.

"That is true but everyone here accepts it. I do not care who you end up with. As long as she or he understand if they hurt you then they deal with me and ash and may. Neither of us will be nice." Dawn said.

"I need help mom please help me." Ruby asked almost begged. Dawn sat down in a lotus position and asked her daughter to do that same.

"Now close your eyes and listen for two voices. You will hear a loud voice louder than a wolf's howl and a soft voice softer then a mouse. Listen for them and let me know when you can hear them both and follow them." Dawn said.

Ruby spent the next hour listening for the voices. The loud voice she heard right away without any effort at all. The soft voice was what she had trouble hearing but she was finally able to hear it. She let her sister turned mom know this information.

"Good now the loud voice is your brain or mind. It is logical and the one that should be listened to most of the time. The soft voice is your heart. It is often times more emotional and rash it should be ignored most of the time or taken with a grain of salt. " Dawn spoke to make sure Ruby got it.

"Now in this case ignore your brain it is wrong and knows nothing of love. Now I know the brain controls all emotions but in this case it is the heart that matters. Listen to it for it will guide you." Dawn said. Ruby listened and finally understood. Once she ignored her brain she had the answer it was clear as the sky at night deep in the heart of Texas. She hugged Dawn and ran off.

Dawn smiled for she knew her sister turned daughter had gotten it. Ruby found Sarah she was with her mom and just having fun.

"Sarah may I speak to you alone please. It is important." Ruby said. Sarah did not want to. She felt that Ruby was going to break her heart but she had to trust Ruby since she was her friend. So she agreed. Ruby and Sarah found a secluded spot.

"I am so sorry for making you wait Sarah. I should have told you this right away. Thankfully mom made me see the truth." Ruby was rambling which Sarah knew she did when she got nervous. It gave her slight hope.

"The truth is I love you as well Sarah. I was and am still afraid that are friendship will be ruined. So I hid my feelings and locked them away." Sarah and Ruby shared a sweet kiss.

"Let us promise to always be friends no matter what happens." Sarah said. Both girls promised that. They had a bond of friendship that was strong and nothing could break that bond even if the relationship failed.

It was for that reason that Sarah's mom pushed Sarah into telling Ruby. Her mom was staring at the moon and just relaxing. She always enjoyed the night it was relaxing and soothing to her.

"I did not take you as someone that enjoyed the night." Looking up she sees Dawn.

"I enjoy it. The night has a clam feel to it." Mary said. That was her name by the way.

"Agreed as a creature of the night it makes me more comfortable." Dawn said.

"I am not thinking you came to talk about me liking the night." Mary said with a smile.

"True it seems are daughters are together. I am curious as to why you pushed Sarah to confess. Are they not too young?" Dawn asked.

"Yes they are young I will not deny that. However with love it does not matter. My late husband I met when I was five. I knew when I was ten years old that I loved him. We married the first chance we could. Sadly he died but not before Sarah was born." Mary said. Dawn now understood.

"Do not misunderstand I am happy about it. I do not wish to see Ruby hurt. That is one thing I have fought hard to prevent since our parents were killed." Dawn said and Mary agreed.

"She is lucky to have you." Mary said.

"Sarah is lucky to have you." Dawn said.

"Your both great mothers." They heard a voice they knew as Stacy. She looked at Dawn.

"So am I going to have grandkids yet?" Dawn started to sweet drop at this.

"No not yet we are not ready for children just yet. Velma and my former friends are still out there. Children will be hurt by them." Dawn said.

may was with Harper and she could tell that her daughter was upset by something. She knew Harper was not upset about the marriage she was happy about it. So she had to figure it out. She gave up and just asked.

"I think I have fallen in love with Bonnie ." Harper said which caused may to smile.

"So why not tell her?" may asked.

"She is one of my best friends and is now my aunt." Harper said.

"Well not by blood so that does not matter. You need to tell her how you feel or else you will regret it." may said.

"I never told ash how I felt and I almost lost him. If Dawn had not stepped in I would have. You need to follow your heart my dear. That is all that I can say." may said.

"I will do it when you are gone. Have fun mom." Harper said. The two hugged and left.

ash was with Bonnie just laughing and having fun.

"So are you going to tell Harper that truth?" This caused Bonnie to blush bright red.

"She is my friend." Bonnie said.

"Dawn and may are my friends and look what happened." ash said.

"I am not telling you what to say or do Bonnie I want to see you happy and not have regrets." ash said after a pause.

"Ok I will tell her when you are gone. I hope you have fun and watch out for them." Bonnie hugged her brother and they went back. A little while later ash, Dawn and may left the Ghoul School to go on their honeymoon. It was a two week cruise and they were going to have fun lots of it. Harper and Ruby hugged their parents and told them they loved them.

It had been six months since ash married both Dawn and may. The honeymoon was amazing. A lot of fun was had by all three of them. Harper did not confess to Bonnie . Bonnie confessed to Harper. It took all of her courage but she remembered her brother telling her that she might regret it if she did not tell Harper.

Flashback

Bonnie had called Harper over and asked to speak to her. Harper agreed to it for a few reasons. One her friend really looked troubled. Two she needed a break from doing homework and three, Sarah and Ruby were just too cute it was driving her crazy and making her feel a little bit jealously that she did not have that type of relationship.

The two girls went outside to the garden. They did not know that Stacy had followed them outside. Stacy had learned how to hide her scent form the girls. She could not do it with ash, Dawn, may or the teachers but the girls she could. She wanted to be out here to help her daughter if it was needed.

"Harper you are one of my best friends. You along with Sarah and Ruby helped me when I came to this school." Harper knew Bonnie was not done yet so she waited.

"To be honest my feelings have grown stronger. I love you and I want to see if a relationship will work." Bonnie said and now she waited for either happiness or sadness. Harper smiled.

"I feel the same way Bonnie . I had no friends till you came and you brought me into the group. I love you to Bonnie and I would be more than happy to see if a relationship will work out." The two young girls shared a tender kiss.

They stopped when they heard crying. Bonnie using her magic remove the bush that her mother was hiding behind. Bonnie was annoyed for it was a wonderful kiss.

"Mom why were you spying on us?" Bonnie asked more liked shouted.

"Sorry my dear I wanted to be there for you in case your heart was broken. I will go now enjoy your time together. By the way here is some food have a nice picnic." Stacy dropped the basket she had brought and left. The two girls enjoyed the picnic.

End of flashback

may and ash were thrilled when they were told of the relationships once they got back. ash did have to protect his daughter so it was an odd conversation but a funny one.

Flashback

"So Bonnie I have to give you the don't hurt my daughter speech which is not normal." ash said and it caused both to start laughing and the laughter was long and hard.

"True ash but when have we ever been normal you are a werewolf married to two vampires. I am a witch dating a vampire who happens to be your step daughter. This whole situation is odd but so wonderful at the same time." Bonnie said.

"I know I just don't want to see you two hurt. Both of you have been hurt in the past and I don't want to see it happen again. However I don't think it will be an issue. However I have to let you know." ash said.

"What about Sarah?" Bonnie asked.

"I will talk to her don't worry. " ash said.

"I promise ash that I will take care of Harper and I will always love her. I will never give her up at least not without a fight even if she tells me to go away." Bonnie said.

Dawn was with her daughter telling her daughter the non x rated parts of her honeymoon.

"So how is the relationship with Sarah going?" Dawn asked. In response Ruby smiled a huge smile.

"It is wonderful mom. I love spending time with her it is hard to describe but I love it." Ruby said.

may was having the same conversation with her daughter but about Bonnie and she did tell about the honeymoon.

"Mom she is amazing I am so happy." Harper said.

Later that night ash, Dawn, and may all talked with their daughters and sister.

"Ok girls we are happy about the relationships you are in with each other." ash said.

"However we need to set some ground rules." Dawn said.

"We don't care if you sleep in the same bed and hold each other." may said.

"However nothing else until you are at least 18." Dawn said.

"We all trust you four so don't ruin it." ash finished up and the girls promised they would not do anything to break their parents or siblings trust.

"Now we don't think you guys will do anything but we wanted to make sure it was understood." ash said. The four in response hugged the adults. The girls went to bed afterwards. Ruby and Sarah cuddled with each other and Harper and Bonnie cuddled with each other. The three went back to the library to talk with Stacy.

"So any grand kids yet?" She asked. It caused all three to blush bright red at this comment. It seems they had not gotten use to the questions yet. Either that or Stacy just asking like that was too much for them to handle.

"No Stacy we are not pregnant yet." Dawn said she had recovered the fastest.

"When we are ready to get pregnant we will be and after ash and the girls are told you will be the third to know." may said.

"Mom Velma and the others are still out there. They have no problems going after pregnant women to get what they want. I am not putting my family in harm's way." ash said.

"I know I am just messing with you guys." Stacy said. She hugged her family all of whom hugged her back. The three then went to bed cuddled up to each other. Meanwhile Velma who was still alive was plotting her revenge. Fred and Daphne were dead as dead as can be.

She used them for her evil plans. The truth is she used very dark magic the kind that would make Harperh Ravencroft run in fear to make a blood clone. She was creating an army and it was almost ready. Soon she would march onto the Ghoul School. Once there she would capture ash and make him watch as she killed the ones he loved.

It had been one year since the marriage and the honeymoon and life was great. Ruby and Sarah were still going strong. Bonnie and Harper were also going strong. ash, Dawn and may were stronger than ever. Every night ash would pray giving thanks for Dawn, may his daughters, his sisters and his mom. Dawn and may would pray giving thanks for ash and their daughters.

Ruby would pray giving thanks for Sarah and her two best friends as well as her parents. Sarah would pray giving thanks for Ruby, her two best friends and her mom. Harper would pray giving thanks for Bonnie , her two best friends and for her parents. Lastly Bonnie would pray giving thanks for Harper, her two best friends, her mom and her brother as well as sister's in laws.

Velma was ready her forces were ready so she marched onward. Her forces numbered 3 million. Let me tell you about her army. It was made of shadow creatures. All of them were about the strength of a black belt. They had no magic but were good at hand to hand. Plus they all fought as one so they swarmed on their foes. Velma could not create more she did not have the blood needed.

Fred and Daphne had been very helpful with that. Before they had died she had taken there blood and used it in the rituals needed to summon the army. She had gained great power over the dark arts.

She marched to Coolsville. She could summon her army at any time so she kept them away when she was traveling. She could not find Stacy and that was getting her really mad. However she remembered that the vampire had a friend she could use so she teleported Serena 's house.

Velma did not know where the school was but she figured Serena would. It took Velma a few days to find Serena . Each day was getting her more and more annoyed. Now Serena knew that Velma was looking for her. Some people in the town had informed her of this. She knew who Velma was for Dawn had told her.

Dawn told Serena that Velma was a threat to Dawn's family and she was unsure what the bookworm would do. So she needed to find away to end Velma. Serena volunteered to aid in that task. She acted as the bait. She worked at the school as a groundskeeper. The girls liked her and were not scared of her. She had earned their trust and respect.

Serena never planned on marrying for let's face it no one would want to be with her for many reasons. It did not bug her it brought her peace. So the girls had become like her daughters. Many of them had no families or parents. So Serena had become like their mother.

Serena loved them like there were her daughters. She knew that Velma was aiming to hurt her daughters. So it would be a very cold and she meant a very cold day in hell before she allowed anyone to hurt her daughters or her friends. It had been three days and she knew Velma was following her. So like Dawn did a few years ago she lead Velma out to a clearing.

"Come on out now Velma I know why you are here. For all that you claim to be you are not as fox like as you would like to be." Serena said. Velma stepped out of the shadows.

"I am here for your help you are still a pure human. The monsters must be destroyed." Velma said. Serena had been very calm and collected during this whole speech. However something snapped in her.

"My best friend and almost sister is a vampire married to a werewolf slash vampire. I work at a school full of girls that are called monsters but are not. Many of them have been hurt by humans like you." She took a pause and spoke quickly.

"Many parents throw their kids out and try to kill them. They have no family. I became their mother. So I will not allow you to hurt my daughters. I will not tell you anything." Velma summoned her army.

"Tell me or my army will tear you apart." Velma said with a smirk as her army surrounded Serena . Serena pulled out a sword. She had been taking lesson's form ash. She knew she would die but she was going to take out some of these shadows before that. She starts to hack some of them. They are many of them and they are all strong. In a matter of seconds she has taken out 10 of them. However she was hurt as well by shadow claws.

Just as she falls to the ground she feels a hand pick her up and carry her out. She pass's out in her best friends arms. Dawn had gotten the call and knew her friend needed her. The rest of the school was on battle mode and lock down mode.

"Well Velma nice to see you. You are looking well." Dawn said not even shocked by seeing Velma alive and the lack of shock annoyed Velma.

"Why are you not shocked that I am alive?" Velma said.

"O it is simple. ash knew you were alive. Something about you clone saying sorry he knew it was not you. Anyway you will not get away with your plan. Stand down or we will kill you." Dawn said.

"You can't kill me. I have you outnumbered. " Velma said.

"I can and we will. I want you dead as soon as possible. Once you are dead I can get pregnant and have children with ash. He does not want me to get pregnant till you are dead." Dawn said and she turned around. Velma shouted at her.

"Let us finish this fight." Velma said.

"No Velma if it is fight you want we understand. However we will not allow you to harm the girls or anyone else for that matter." She threw a rolled up piece of paper at Velma.

"In four weeks time meet there we will have are fight there. Let it been known that it will be a fight to the death and we will spare no punches. This time you will die and not only that but ash will ripe your heart out of your chest." Dawn said and she gets ready to teleport but she stops.

"One more thing (name that character) no outsiders will be allowed in the battle zone." Dawn teleported away to get Serena treated and to get ready for the biggest battle of her life. One her and her family would not lose. She knew this in her heart for they had something worth fighting for.

Dawn teleported Serena to the hospital wing of the Ghoul School to get her healed. Lillie upon seeing them goes into healer mode to save the young women that has become like family to the school. Sadly Serena was in worse shape than Dawn had thought. The shadow creatures had torn at her skin and caused a lot of blood to be lost a lot more then Dawn originally thought.

"I am sorry guys I don't think she is going to make it." Lillie said sadly with a heavy heart. It was the one thing she hated about being a healer telling someone they were going to die and then telling the family and loved ones the same news. Dawn, may and ash were in the room.

Dawn was not about to let her best friend slash sister die. She looked at may and both nodded. The two of them had been secretly talking the past few weeks about Serena . By secretly the author means without ash knowing. What they were about to do was risky but if it worked Serena would live and the family would get larger.

"ash there is away to save her." Dawn said with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"I am sensing a but coming." ash said and Dawn nodded her head. She took a deep breath before she spoke.

"If you mark her she will live." Dawn said. Now the reason this was risky for she was playing on ash's weakness of helping his friends and not letting them down. She knew he may not be happy that she played that card but it would work in the long run at least that was her hope.

Serena loved ash even if she denied it which she had when Dawn asked her. Dawn was smarter then she let on with her friend which allowed her to see through her friend. She guessed that maybe ash loved Serena but she was unsure he was better at hiding his emotions form others even her and may.

may did not care one way or the other. She had become fond of Serena so she would be happy. ash sighed.

"What do I need to do?" He asked. Dawn did not expect him to agree this fast.

"Just bite her and transfer any love you have for her to her. It will mark her and heal her. On the subject of love do you love her?" Dawn asked with some nervousness.

"We will not be upset if the answer is yes." may said gently.

"To be honest I think I do. I have ignored my feelings for so long however I think she should be the first I tell my feelings to so for now I will keep quite. All I will say is I do not want to lose her. Also I am not annoyed you used my weakness against me." ash said. Dawn and may engaged a three way hug. They both understood and respected that. Dawn was also really happy that ash was not upset with her.

"The girls love her so that will not be a problem." Dawn said.

"Your mom will be happy to have more grandchildren." may said. Both parts were true. Ruby accepted Serena and once that occurred the other three accepted her. Once the two power couples accepted Serena the rest of the school accepted her. Stacy would be happy to have another daughter in law that would give her more grandkids. It still freaked Dawn and may out that she kept asking.

A few months after the honeymoon they told her not until Velma was dead. They would not risk their family with having her around. Stacy understood that but she was not getting any younger and she wanted grandkids to spoil well more she already had three and she loved them but she wanted more.

ash reach towards Serena 's neck and bit her. He transferred the love he had for into the bite. Lillie had been watching so once ash was done she performed a scan and said this.

"She is coming back you did it ash she will live." All three were thrilled to hear that news. ash went to train he had a battle to get ready for and he did not plan on losing it. It took two days for Serena to wake up. She saw Dawn and may.

"How am I still alive it does not make any sense? Also how is it that I can smell better than I ever have before? " Serena asked.

"You were marked." Dawn said. She was not going to beat around the bush so to speak.

"By who?" Serena asked for she understood what that meant and she was worried that she would forever be with someone she did not love or even like. Dawn and may gave a huge smirk.

"ash of course and before you try to lie I know you love him." Dawn said.

"I don't love him I already have told you that." Serena said. Dawn sighed.

"Serena you know me pretty well right?" Dawn asked and Serena nodded her head in confused manner unsure where this was going also slightly afraid of where this was going.

"What do I do to anyone or anything I consider a threat?" Dawn asked.

"You kill the person or destroy the thing." Serena said.

"Would I consider someone wanting my husband a threat to me and my family?" Dawn asked.

"I guess a little." Serena said.

"Serena bottom line is if I wanted to kill you I would have. I know you love ash so do not lie. You are his mate now so you can be with him just don't lie." Dawn said.

"I also am ok with it Serena . I like you and respect you. You are one of the few humans I can say that about. I to would have killed you if I wanted to." may said. Serena started to cry as she buried her head into her friends shoulder.

"I had a crush on him since I met him and it has grown stronger. Where is he I need to talk to him?" Serena said slashed asked.

"He is training the battle is in 28 days we need to be ready. Plus when he is nervous he fights." Dawn said.

"Plus I need to clear you first." Lillie said as she walked into the room she performed a few scans and cleared Serena .

"Now go and get him." Lillie said. Serena ran off to the gym and to ash. She found him transformed and training and it was awesome to watch him train that hard. ash looks up and sees Serena he walked over to her and embrace's her in a hug. She kiss's him passionately letting go of all the repressed feelings she had stored up. The result was a kiss that made both shake with joy and happiness.

"Is it true ash that you love me?" Serena asked with hope in her eyes and her voice. Yes she knew of the mark and knew ash had to love her for it to work and yes she felt the love in the kiss but she wanted to and needed to hear it from him. ash smiled.

"Yes it is true I do love you. At first I did not like you. At first I thought you might hurt Dawn." ash said with some sadness and guilt in his voice. Serena kissed his check letting him know she understood and it was ok.

"I am sorry for thinking that." He knew she had forgiven him but it still ate him up.

"After I married Dawn and may and you got a job here I started to feel something so I buried it deep down." ash said and he was having a hard time. He was close to losing it.

"However seeing you in the hospital bed and knowing we might lose it I could not fight it anymore. I knew that if you died it would be like losing Dawn or may." ash said and once more he had to stop the tears and himself from losing it.

"So I stopped fighting it and knew I loved you." ash said and this time the fight was over he could not stop the tears. He felt several pairs of arms around him and knew Dawn, may, Ruby, Bonnie , Harper and Sarah were here. He also felt a wet snot near him and knew Nightshade was here as well. All of them joined in the tears since all of them knew a great battle was going to occur. The girls knew they would not fight Velma but they also knew that Velma might send people to the Ghoul School anyway. Serena was later given a ring hers had a red ruby next to a diamond on a gold band.

Stacy as predicted was thrilled and started asking for grandkids. Serena was starting to get scared by this. However she really liked Stacy and was glad she had her as a mother in law.

The next month the plans were made and training was done. Serena , Dawn and may doubled their training and ash tripled his. ash asked if the gurls knew how to fight with Swords they said no so he tought them day in and day out the four trained and did not stop. They were not going to lose. Even after his wives went to bed ash would train. He would train form first light to last light.

About three days before the battle Thorn, Luna, Dusk and Bonnie used a sleeping spell on him. At the rate he was pushing himself everyone feared he would not survive the battle. He woke up a few hours later and went to train until his wives stopped him.

"ash you need to rest you need to spend time with your family. You have not made love to Serena yet." Dawn said.

"I know you are worried we all are worried but pushing this hard will do no one any good." may said.

"Plus the girls want to spend time with you and we want to spend time with you." Serena said. It took her a few days to get use to the being married thing but she enjoyed it greatly. Every morning waking up next to ash was amazing. True they had not made love yet but she was willing to wait. She did not have to wait long. ash kissed her and this started the process that led to love making. Once Serena was done and asleep ash made love to Dawn and may.

The next two days were more relaxed with the adults spending time with the kids. The girls did not leave there mothers or father or brother at all. Nightshade was also training she had been training alongside her daddy. The last day and night was the hardest. The girls all slept with their parents and brother. Even ash's mom and Sarah mom stayed with them. It was a big group hug and cuddle. Bonnie , Harper and Ruby were the most scared afraid to lose the one person that had always been there for them besides their girlfriends.

The next morning the four adults along with Misty and Thorn went to the battle site. The rest stayed behind to help the school. ash told the teachers to let these 4 Handel the fight if it comes to the school they said way he said because i trained thim they said ok Nightshade wanted to go with her daddy but was asked to protect her sisters. The girls bid a tearful goodbye to their parents hoping it was not the final time. The adults get to the prearranged site and see Velma and her army waiting.

The battle site was an empty clearing in the middle of the forest. The clearing was very large about the size of three football fields. Velma and her army numbering in the billions now for she had increased it over that month long break. It was now numbered at 30 billion.

On Velma's side she had the dark magic she had access to and her 30 billion shadow troop army. The monster team had only six fighters but each fighter was deadly in combat. Thorn was a high rank witch arguably the most powerful witch in the world. She was also a deadly close combat fighter. Misty was the Vampire Queen and had all the powers that went with it including the powers over darkness.

Dawn and may were powerful vampires and deadly in close combat. They could make quick strikes and be done with a foe before they even realized they were dead. Serena was a half vampire half werewolf and deadly with a blade. ash was ash and one of the most powerful there. So the numbers were not on their side but they had the power.

Another advantage was the battle site. You see ash picked this site for a few reasons. Reason number one the forest area was well known to all member of the monster group. Reason number two all of the monster team felt comfortable in the forest. Lastly reason number three the forest gave the monsters a power boost a very huge power boost.

"Ok Velma before we get started with this fight." ash started but was stopped.

"I am not going to give in and just leave you be ash." Velma spoke.

"I know and besides you are too far gone for me to even ask that. I would like to know where are Fred, Daphne, Dawn and Serena 's former friends." ash asked.

"I made blood clones for them and I sacrificed them to get my power and my army. Daphne was so useless in life she finally became useful. All she had was her pretty face same with Fred and the others." While there was no love lose before Fred and Daphne he did not like that Velma just casually mentioned she used them for power. Dawn and Serena felt the same way.

"So what is with the other the purple haired one and why is Thorn here?"

"I am his sister and best friend. I am Misty the daughter of the late Count Dracula and now the current Vampire Queen." Misty said. This cause some nervousness for Velma but not much.

"I am his friend and sister as well. I am a witch and pretty good one. I don't like what you have become Velma so I will end you. I respected you once we all did but that time is done. As ash said you are too far gone." Thorn said. and me said Harperh ravencroft

"Only 6 with you ash that is sad." Velma said.

"My three wives and my two sisters are very powerful you are the one that should be scared." ash said and it caused Velma to roll her eyes. and Harperh ravencroft is a strong which

"Now enough talking we fight now." Velma after these words ordered her army to attack. Serena charges forward and cuts down a hanging tree branch with her sword using her newly gained speed and strength. The branch is hanging over the battle field and it not only crushed some of the shadows it gives them less space to move around which was the more important point. After she cuts the branch she quickly takes out some of the shadows.

All five split up and Velma is happy thinking this battle will be easier. When Velma got her power something had to give. To get the amount of power she it had cost a lot to her. She had to sacrifice something. Serena had to give up her human side to get her power but it was a great trade at least she thought it was. Thorn, Misty , Dawn and may were born with their powers. They had to master them over the year that was there sacrifice always fighting the darkness in their hearts always with the fear of becoming a true monster. ash was forcible given his. He had many struggles to master them.

Velma when she got her powers gave up her intelligence since that is all the demons would take. She was not dumb by any means but she was nowhere as smart as she once was. So in other words she did not see coming what was about to happen.

Velma was not able to dodge a deadly claw form ash. Her arm was cut off. However to ash's disgust it grew back. He then started to laugh which confused and angered Velma.

"I cannot be killed why are you laughing?" Velma asked.

"I know what potion you used and it has a very big weakness." ash said to prove his point he quickly cut off two of her fingers and only one grew back.

"You see if you are injured in more than one place at the same time it will not fix all. It fix's the smallest injury and leaves the big ones. Now it will heal if given time but I will not give you that time." ash said and he charged. Meanwhile the ladies were doing very well with the battle. Each was using her power or skills to cut down the shadows.

Velma attempted to blast ash with her magic but he dodged all of the attempts. Sadly it gave Velma the time she needed to allow for her other finger to re grow. She smirked the potion was not what she wanted but it could work. ash charged once more and a deadly hand to hand battle occurred. ash was able to land three hits on Velma sadly they were not deep enough to draw blood but they still hurt Velma which stunned her and allowed ash to cut off her left hand.

"I must say Velma you are forcing me to do something I don't want to do." ash said and he started to howl a howl that told all other wolfs that he was anger and was not to be messed with. In a matter of seconds he had transformed but he was different. His eyes were redder and his fur was blacker and he was by far more terrifying.

"This is not what you looked like last time." Velma said with a slight amount of fear.

"Correct I have evolved if you will. Love has made me stronger. I have become a creature feared by many. I am now the dire werewolf." Velma was slightly more scared now a dire wolf was not to be messed with. The dire wolf is the ancestor of the modern day wolf and extinct. It is good sense many believe them to have been more vicious and smarter. In other words ash was smarter, stronger and deadly now. By this point Velma's hand had grown back but she could feel that it was not as strong as it used to be.

"Starting to see the other downside it seems. All injuries that are re grown are weaker than before. In other words your hand is not as strong as before. if I cut it off again you may not be able to hold a pen with it." ash said.

He turned away from Velma and moved toward her shadow army and stated to slaughter them. It was not pretty and the shadows were being killed at a quick rate. Seeing ash destroying the shadows the others charged as well and started to kill the shadows. They like ash unleashed there full power. Misty was the vampire queen and she got a little bit of power for each vampire so she was not to be messed with. Dawn, may and Serena were powerful in their own rights. Thorn tapped into the earth and started to control it. All were holding back but not anymore. In a matter of minutes the shadows were wipe out.

Thorn had trapped Velma in a cage of earth. She blasted it away and shot a beam at Dawn who was able to dodge it. She was in a weaken state but she was still dangerous very dangerous. She fired server beams of energy at the gang. All of which were dodged.

"She more stubborn then I thought she would be." Thorn said.

"Everyone unleash your sprits it is the only way." ash said sadly. He started to chant and the others follow suit.

"Sprit of the dire wolf" Shouted ash he was drawing on the strength of all that loved him.

"Sprit of the vampire" Dawn shouted. She like her husband was calling on the strength of the people that loved her.

"Sprit of the vampire" may shouted as well. The people that loved her gave her the strength needed.

"Sprit of the vampire wolf" Serena yelled. Her loved ones were with her giving her the strength needed.

"Sprit of the vampire queen" Misty said softly she was drawing on all the vampires form around the world to give her strength.

"Spirit of the witch" Thorn said. Thorn was also drawing power form Luna and Dusk her two best friends and sisters and the two she loved the most. She also had her other loved ones. All at once six sprits were sent at Velma. The result was a huge explosion of power that hit Velma dead on. Thanks to the potion she was still alive but barely. ash walked over and ripped out her heart and crushed her still beating heart right in front of her. She was still alive but once her heart was crushed she was dead. Thorn summoned fire and burnt her body.

The five teleported to the school to be welcomed by their loved ones with hugs and kisses. ash, Dawn, may, and Serena took their daughters in their arms and spent the night like that. All were exhausted. None of them liked killing but they had to. All agreed to not think about it and move on."

It had been a day since the battle in the forest and the death of Velma. Everyone had returned to normal and was happy again. Now before anyone judges badly consider this please. Velma was out for blood and aiming to kill family. The regret ash had in killing his once friend was gone by the time he woke up the next morning. Seeing his daughters in their mother's arms and his wives in his arms made him realize what he was fighting for and that it was worth it and that he would kill as many as needed to protect his family.

"So what has you this happy? I would figure you would have guilt or regret of some sort. Not a lot but some." Dawn asked her husband quietly so as not to wake the others.

"I did last night but I woke up and saw everyone here and knew that it was the right choice. Does it suck I had to kill my once friend. Yes it does but she made her choice I gave her way too many chances. So no I have no more regrets or sadness." ash said. Dawn gave him a soft kiss.

"I am also not going to give anyone else that many chances maybe one chance but no more." ash said.

"I think that is wise." Dawn said and she put her head back down on his chest. She really liked that spot. ash made a vowed that anyone that even thought about harming his family was going to die. Everyone gets up and ready for the day.

Later that day Thorn found him after he was done teaching and asked to speak to him. Since she was his friend and almost sister he agreed also he could tell she was nervous about something and Thorn never showed her nervousness. She was always calm and collected even in the battle she was calm and collected so to see her like this worried ash. They went to her room and she sat down on the bed.

"ash I need your advice. I am in love with Luna and Dusk what do I do?" Thorn asked. Of all that she could have said this was not what ash was expecting. To be truthful he was unsure what to suspect but this was not it he knew. He sighed before he spoke.

"All I can say is tell them. If you don't it will eat you up and who knows maybe they feel the same way." ash said.

"I am not sure I can." Thorn said scared and ash sighed.

"You want to know what finally made me ask Dawn out besides the almost dying and letting slip that I love her." ash asked and Thorn nodded.

"I got to thinking what would it be like if I saw her in someone else's arms. Would it hurt?" ash said but he had to take a pause.

"The answer was yes it would hurt so I had to tell her before I lost her." ash said and took one more pause.

"Bottom line Thorn if you don't tell Luna and Dusk the truth you could lose them. At least one will love you back maybe both." ash said. Thorn smiled and hugged her brother and went off.

"Was it really necessary to be that mean?" ash heard a voice ask. It was his daughter Ruby who had come out of the shadows.

"No and I was not being mean." ash said and Ruby looked at her father with the you are kidding me look.

"She is right dad you know the truth why not tell her the truth?" Looking the other way he sees his other daughter Harperh who has also come out of the shadow.

"She needs to figure it out on her own." ash said.

"How come?" Ruby asked and ash smiled.

"When she is told the truth it will be that much better and more special for her." ash said. His daughters looked at him.

"Are you sure you are not being evil?" Harperh asked. ash smirked his daughters knew him so well.

"Ok a little bit of that but that is not my sole reason. It will be more special for her and all three of them. They are my sisters and I want them happy." ash said. The three then went to go and plan a game outside. Thorn was nervous but she had to do this. ash was right she knew if Luna or Dusk married someone else her heart would break. She was going to lay it all out on the table and hope for the best. If it failed she would leave the Ghoul School forever. She hoped that did not happen since it was her home. It was the one place that felt like home to her.

Luna and Dusk knew right away that there friend and, both, secret or not so secret love was worried. Yes you see both Luna and Dusk were in love with Thorn. Both of them had talked about it and were more than willing to share Thorn if she ever showed any interest. They also both agree to not fight if Thorn picked just one of them. They both knew that this was a lot of big ifs.

"Ann, Kim I love you both." Thorn said. Luna and Dusk were shocked. Thorn just told them that she loved both of them. Not only that she used their real names. It was something they did not do. Both Luna and Dusk were crying and before Thorn could say anything the two threw themselves at her and hugged her tightly.

"We are so very glad to hear that." Luna said

"We love you to." Dusk said. Thorn grabbed Luna and kissed her passionately. Afterwards she grabbed Dusk and did the same thing. The night the three fell asleep cuddled together. It was the start of a wonderful relationship. The next day Thorn did hit ash when he told her that he knew of the feelings held by Luna and Dusk. She was happy when he told her his reason for him wanting the confession to be special.

The next couple of nights ash made love to Dawn, Serena and may. A month later they were not feeling that great. Lillie and Thorn checked on them and they discovered what was wrong. When the three were told the truth they were thrilled. The three then planed on how to tell ash the news that was wonderful.

Dawn, may and Serena were all very excited at this point for Lillie and Thorn had just told them some wonderful news. Now the only hard part was how to tell ash. They all knew that ash would be just as excited as they were or even more it could go either way. Nightshade was very protective of them lately and that was what made them get checked out.

They started to feel a little sick but not too much so they dismissed it. However when Nightshade was always near them and was on the edge looking like she was going to bite someone they figured something was up. Once they figured it out they got to work planning on how to tell ash. They figured the direct approach was the best way. They also figured out why Nightshade was the way she was.

ash was worried about his wives something was wrong with them. Nightshade would not tell him what was wrong and that worried him even more. ash had gotten very clam over the years but he was not claim when his wives were in danger or when he thought they were in danger or hurt. Yes he was paranoid but that paranoia was what kept him alive.

"Ok girls today we are going to do something fun. You have studied much of history and many different warriors. Today we will start a who would win series. I will give two different warriors tell me who would win if they fought but why." ash said. Ruby nodded but she knew her dad was worried about her mom's. Harper and Bonnie knew that as well along with Sarah. All the girls knew their teacher was worried.

"Dad go and see them." Ruby said.

"She right brother." Bonnie said. All the girls in the class agreed.

"Girls I want to but all of us promised that teaching you was the most important thing. So I can wait a little longer. If it was really bad Lillie would have come and told me. Someone would have come and gotten me." The students accepted this.

"Ok starting from this point on each week I will give you a three page paper that needs to be done at the end of the week." ash took a pause and was glad to not hear the groan form his students. If anything they were upset it was that short.

"Each week the topic will be a historical question. I want you to answer it." ash said and took a pause to make sure he had not lost anyone and he was happy to see that he had not. He had taught the girls well.

"Now I am not going to give simple topics I am going to ask you the tuff questions. I want you to explain your points. There is no right or wrong in these questions." ash said and paused.

"I am doing it for a few reasons. Number one to make you think outside the box. Number two to deploy your critical thinking skills. Number three to make you be able to defend you points and lastly it is kind of fun." ash said. He saw that everyone had gotten it.

"Ok your first paper is simple. Had the 300 Spartans not been betrayed would they have beaten the Persians?" ash asked.

"There are many answers to this. I suggest looking up what the experts say and go from there. However and I can't stress this point enough I do not want you to repeat what they say. I want you to use your own words." ash said.

"You girls are very smart and very creative. Feel free to be creative. If after looking at some of the experts you have another idea use it but be sure to back it up." ash said.

"One last thought before I let you go. Remember that history often hinges on small events that at the time seem unimportant but in reality are very important. Try to imagine what it would be like leaving at that time." ash said. He then dismissed the class. His daughters and sisters gave him a hug. He had dinner duty that night so he did that and made sure all the girls ate and went up to there rooms.

Sometimes the girls would delay going up. However tonight they all knew ash was worried about his wives and just wanted to see them and hold them so they did not delay they went right to bed. Once more his daughters and sisters hugged him. Lillie gave him a knowing smirk and she did not look worried so he knew it was not bad but he was still worried. When he asked her she only answered with a you will see.

Back downstairs Thorn and Lillie the two healers since ,Thorn had become one to give Lillie some time off once in a while where talking.

"So do you think he will faint?" Thorn asked.

"Ten dollars says he does?" Lillie said.

"No he is going to cry but I agree. Ten to you if he faints and ten to me if he cries." Thorn said. Lillie and Thorn shook hands. Thorn's relationships with Luna and Dusk were wonderful. They had gone thought the witch marriage ritual and were now married. Well Luna and Dusk were married to Thorn and all three were very happy about it. Thorn was really happy when she found out she won the bet the next morning.

ash gets to his room to see all three of his wives in there nightdress's. He gets changed into his pants and sits on the bed. His wives lean on him. Dawn on his chest while Serena and may on his shoulder. Dawn takes his hands and puts them on her stomach.

"Ok can you please tell me what the results were? I am really worried." ash asked. Dawn smiled.

"We are sorry we made you worry. The news is that we are all pregnant." Dawn said. ash's eyes lit up and he started to cry. He pulled his wives close to him and gave each a huge kiss.

"I am sorry very happy. How far along are you?" ash asked.

"About two months." may said.

"We are all having girls. Is that ok?" Serena asked. ash smiled brightly

"Yes that is ok actually that is wonderful." ash said.

"We would have thought you would want a son." Dawn said.

"I am very happy that we are having children. As long as they are happy and healthy and their mothers are healthy after giving birth I do not care about anything else." ash said. He called over Nightshade who looked a little sad. ash pulled her up and hugged her.

"I am not mad just do not cause me to worry." ash said and Nightshade licked his check and went to sleep in her bed on the other side of the room. ash pulled his wives closer to him and the four went to sleep. Dawn, may and Serena were happy to know that the news was met well and ash was thrilled about the news. The next day after class he called Bonnie , Ruby, Sarah, and Harper and asked them to stay behind.

"Ok ash based upon your mood and the fact that you look like you have won the lottery I am guessing it is good news." Bonnie said. ash smiled.

"Ruby, Harper you are going to be big sister's soon." ash said and waited for the girls to figure it out. He was not disappointed for they figured it out quickly. He got hugs form the girls and the girls hugged their mothers later that night. The news was met well with the entire school.

It was the next few months that were hard for Dawn, may, and Serena . They had mood swings and odd cravings. Two of them being vampires it made it harder. The need for blood for pregnant vampires was greater. They had to have it once a week and sadly they could not hunt themselves. ash was able to hunt and get the blood and he did not once complain. Serena also need some but since she was half werewolf and half vampire she only needed it once every two weeks.

"How come you are not upset at all of this ash?" Thorn asked. ash was also insulted a few times due to the mood swings.
