A large mansion stood on the outskirts of London built in front of a small forest. With the large iron gates and armed guards lurking in the shadows many were wary of the multiple inhabitants of the home. Some believed it to be the headquarters of a cult from the pale people seen sneaking in the gates in the middle of the night. Still others,with active imaginations, thought it to be a hideout for a band of thieves because of the obvious wealth needed for the security and to buy the biggest mansion they'd seen. No one would have guessed the security was actually willing volunteers working together and that the ominous mansion housed a small year-old child that was currently being played with by two of the people that always seemed to make the neighbors back away with fear.

Deep in the mansion in one of the lavishly furnished rooms on the third floor Kylen watched Anastasia lay on the floor with Harry and tickle him. It had been two weeks since they had taken Harry, yet Ana was already loving him as if he were her own and Kylen had grown attached to him also.

He had grown to dread the day he knew Master would call them to the main hall so they could give him to his new guardians. Still, it was better than his previous guardians keeping him. Anastasia had 'accidentally' scanned the women's mind and after telling him of her thoughts of the boy and his parents it took a five minute struggle and fifteen hexings for him to finally settle down and not go back to the house and drain the women dry for thinking like that about her own flesh and blood.

Blue eyes softened as they once again landed on the duo on the floor. Harry was a gorgeous baby with his raven hair and bright emerald eyes that seemed to glow. And, although he would never admit it, Ana was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen. Her thick, shiny black hair hung a few centimeters below her shoulders, she had captivating chocolate color eyes, a soothing throaty voice, and a soft face. Kylen, who himself had a very regal face with sharp features and short spiky blond hair, often had to scold himself for playing along with her playful flirting that she reserved for him. Still, if he wasn't so deeply concerned with protecting their master and if they weren't so different he would have tried to pursue a relationship with her.

" A picture last longer,babe."

Kylen playfully glared at Anastasia who was now on her back smirking at him while Harry slept on her stomach.

"Master wants to see you in the Hall now, Kylen." Kylen turned to see a pair of twins standing in the doorway looking nervous. Nicole and Electra were identical with regal faces similar to Kylen's, blue eyes, and blond hair to their waist. They could have been mistaken for Kylen's own children if they weren't eight and he didn't seem to be twenty-three.

Feeling depressed Anastasia and Kylen carried Harry downstairs knowing the boy would soon be taken away from them.

Electra followed the couple downstairs feeling slightly guilty at seeing their sad faces. Harry certainly was adorable and lovable so she could see why they were so down. She suddenly sniggered as she realized that Ana and Kylen agreed on something. Nicole and her had actually been taking bets on what would happen between them while they were stuck together watching Harry. Seeing as how they were both alive and healthy after two weeks she had just lost twenty pounds and three hours of her hunting time.

Frowning at the thought Electra was rudely brought out of her musings as someone poked a long fingernail in her back. Preparing to yell at her sister she shut her mouth realizing they where already in the main hall and the Master was staring at her. Blushing, she hurried to stand at the Masters side with Nicole.

"You know why I called you here today, but first we're going to discuss the blood for Harry's turning."The Masters voice was quiet and soothing although it was hard to distinguish if it were male or female. The Master's identity was kept secret and it made Electra and her sister proud knowing the true identity even if their was no way around them not knowing. It would be strange not knowing who your only living parent was when you live with each other after all.

" I thought we were going to use Nicole's," Ana stated obviously confused.

"We were, but know I think the best thing would be to have our scientist mix a safe cocktail of more than one person's blood to give him more strength and speed and possibly more than one animangus form which would be very useful for him as he got older. The cocktail would contain Electra's, Nicole's and my blood along with a potion to make sure he doesn't gain to much strength right now when he's more likely to hurt himself."

"That's a great idea Master," Kylen broke his silence at hearing the plan.

"Thank you, but I wasn't done yet. I also think it would be good to add yours and Ana's blood too."

"Why?"

"I think it's only fitting that his new surrogate parents should be included."

There was silence as the words sunk in before a grin formed on Kylen's face and Ana squealed before latching onto Kylen and hugging him.

Electra smiled and eyed the trio before replying "I'm glad you two are so chummy. You're going to be stuck together for a long time now."

Kylen's eyes widened before glaring at the girl, a smile still on his face.

" You two can go ahead and decorate a room for Harry. The turning will be in a month. We'll find out his animangus forms in three. I'll see you later."

Kylen and Ana walked out, Kylen arm draped around her shoulder still as they gazed down at Harry.

Once the couple were out and the door closed Master put down the hood of the of the cloak and gazed down at the twins.

"Why did you put those two together?"

Both girls were now on either side of the Master, arms circling the the Master's waist in a one arm hug.

" Because there the yin and yang of each other. They'll balance each other out and that balance will pass on to Harry."

"Are you sure its not just because you like to mess with Uncle Kylen?"

The Master smiled before leaning down and giving both girls a kiss on the head.

"That's just an added bonus. Now you two go to bed. I have to go visit a few other clans and if I get good reports about your behavior I'll let you two go with Ana and Harry to meet a Veela about Harry's fire training in two months."

Both girls smiled innocently before nodding.

"And I mean you have to actually behave. No casting memory charms or threatening the guards and servants this time."

Both girls sighed and nodded before kissing Master goodnight and heading to their chambers.

"I knew I should have cast a stronger memory charm last time,"Nicole mumbled to her sister.

"It's alright. I threatened one of the maids when she caught me with a leopard from the forest in our room. She probably said what happened to the cook and the cook can't keep her mouth shut. Besides," Electra stated suddenly seeming a lot happier. "We can use our innocent faces to get away with a few things. Plus, Master didn't say anything about bribery."

"Why did you have a leopard in our room any way ?"

"Because I like them and I wanted to," Electra replied, her face showing shock at being asked such a ridiculous question.

"Hmm. I'm more of a panther person myself."

Electra shrugged as they walked into their room and headed toward their beds. Although they could have easily chosen separate bedrooms they chose to stick together even with their clash of taste. They compromised however by having the bottom part of the wall painted a emerald green, the top a deep blue and a silver lining in the middle.

" What do you think the Veela will be like," Nicole asked after changing and crawling under the covers of a large bed with deep blue sheets.

Electra took a long drink from a goblet next to her bed before answering. "She probably won't be that bad if she's agreeing to meet with us. I don't understand how most Veela hate Vampires. I mean, we can't seem that menacing can we?" She then climbed into her green bed, smiling sweetly so that her now visible fangs glinted in the moonlight.

Nicole eyed her sisters chin, which was still dripping with a red liquid, in distaste.

"Yeah, I can't imagine where that idea came from," she retorted, her voice draped with sarcasm. Her sister could be such a slob sometimes.

Nicole layed down, her small form almost seeming to dissapear in the large bed. "We might as well try to behave," she thought to herself. "I really want to meet Ms. Delacour. Any Veela agreeing to meet with their so called enemies is bound to be pretty interesting.
