~ Sorry, I didn't do a disclaimer in the last chapter, but I don't any of
the original characters that belong to the talented Anne Bishop. I wish I
did, but I don't. The characters from the Harry Potter world belong to J.K.
Rowling, but they won't show up until the third chapter.
~ Second sorry about all the misspelled word in the last chapter, but I was working on three stories at the time and I thought that I had spell checked them all.
~ SHOUT OUTS :
Dark Lady of Slytherin: I had always wondered if anybody other than me had ever thought about doing a HP and DJT cross over. I hope you like the way this story turns out and keep reviewing. It keeps me wanting to write more.
Angharad Gwyn: I'm glad you like my story. Keep the reviews coming please.
~Author's Note: I know Daemon seems a little out of character, but he's talking to his daughter and don't most guys seem a little different when they're talking to their little girls.
Chapter 2
Lilandra looked around her room and smiled. Her mahogany bed and dressers were a perfect compliment to her red and black silk sheets. The doll that Kalush had given her when she was born sat on her bed alone in the center of all her pillows. *Should I take Zana with me?* Lilandra thought to herself as she looked at her doll. *Nah, what seventeen year old girl takes's a doll with her away to school?*
"Can I come in?" Lilandra looked up as her mother opened the door to her room and entered. "Have you got everything packed?"
"Hi mom." Lilandra said looking at her mother. "I've got everything packed. I was just debating on whether I should take Zana with me."
"Go ahead." Jaenelle said as she walked over to the bed and took the doll off of her place of honor and giving her to Lilandra. "You should have a piece of home to take with you to school."
"You're right mom." Lilandra said taking the doll and placing it lovingly in her trunk.
"I can't believe that you're going to be gone for a whole year. Who am I going to talk to?" Jaenelle asked with tears in her eyes as she hugged her daughter tightly.
"Mom," Lilandra said trying to pull away from her mother's tight embrace. "You'll have Tamia to talk to and you know, I've heard Uncle Lucivar saying that you're slowing down since you don't practice anymore. He says it's easier to put you on the ground then it used to be."
"Lily you always know just what to say to cheer me up." Jaenelle said laughingly as she let go of her daughter.
"Of course I do." Lilandra said as she smiled at her mother. "I'm your daughter aren't I? Where do you think I learned everything I know?"
Jaenelle smiled as she reached into her pant pocket. "I got you something. It's a little something to remember me by."
"Oh mom." Lilandra said as she took the small jewelers box from her mother. Lilandra gasped as she opened the box and saw what was inside. Inside was a simple white gold band with a ruby resting on top. Two small diamonds were set on both sides. "Mother it's beautiful."
"It's the same ring of honor that Karla and all the other women wear."
"I thought when you lost your Ebony, all the rings lost their power." Lilandra said as she looked quizzically at her mother.
"Those rings were drained of their power when I lost the Ebony. They are nothing more than what once was." Jaenelle said quietly, "But when I came back from the healing web and once I was strong enough, I had new rings made that were in tune to my Twilight's Dawn."
"Are you telling me that you're giving me a ring with the strength of your jewel in it?" Lilandra asked as she slipped the ring on her right ring finger.
"It's got a protection spell that uses the strength of my jewel." Jaenelle said as she took her daughters right hand in both of hers. "You can trigger it through your Red jewel, other wise it will respond automatically to rage, fear, and pain from a serious injury."
Lilandra let out a quite yelp as she felt a sudden rush of intense cold followed by extreme heat. As her finger throbbed she suddenly became aware of a deeper power that lay just beyond her immediate reach.
"Don't ever take it off." Jaenelle said as she released Lilandra's hand. "I don't want anything to happen to you and I'd be a lot happier if I knew you were always wearing your ring."
"Okay mother." Lilandra said moving her hand around and watching the light glisten off of the ring.
"I'm sure the boyos have realized that you now wear a ring and they should be up soon." Jaenelle said smiling as she got up to leave. "Everybody in the coven has their own story as to what happened to them when they got their ring, but I like Karla's story. She opened the door to be greeted by your uncle and four of the boyos."
"Great." Lilandra said as she thought about how all of the boyos, especially her father and uncle, would react to knowing that she now wore a ring that they could all tune into.
"I have to go and give Raya her ring." Jaenelle said as she opened the door and walked down the hall. *This should satisfy Daemonar as to their safety.* She thought as she walked down the stairs and headed for Raya's room.
Lilandra fingered the ring for a moment before she locked her trunk and using craft floated it behind her. *Good-bye room* Lilandra said as she closed her door behind her and headed down the hall towards the stairs.
"Hello Sweetie." Daemon said as Lilandra appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Hi Dad." Lilandra said as she looked from her father to her uncle, grandfather and just about every male that had served in the Dark Court.
"I see your mother gave you a present." Lucivar said as he pointed to her right hand.
"Yeah," Lilandra said smiling as she felt a tingling in her finger. Everyone looked from her to Lucivar then down the hall. "She said she was going to give one to Raya too."
Lucivar took off down the hall with a large smile on his face. Everyone else followed him sensing that Daemon wanted some time alone with his daughter. "We'll be leaving in a bit." Daemon told his daughter as she reached the last step.
"Great." Lilandra said following her father's lead and taking a seat next to him on the bottom step. "I'm looking forward to this year."
"School won't be starting for a week." Daemon said looking at the excitement and anticipation clearly written all over his daughters face. "Your mother and I feel that you should get as adjusted to this new world as much as you can before you start school. That's why we're sending you a week early."
"That's great." Lilandra said leaning her head against her father's shoulder. "Where are we going to stay during this upcoming week?"
"We'll be staying with a family, but I'm not sure who they are just yet." Daemon said as he ran his hand through his daughter's dark hair. "They have a son who will be in your year though so he'll be the one that will be helping you a Raya out."
"A guy." Lilandra said sitting straight up. "Is he cute dad?"
"How should I know." Daemon said smiling at his daughter. He knew plenty of her friends found his daughter attractive but she, like Moira, was oblivious to it and saw them all as friends.
"Daaaaadddd." Lilandra whined as she looked at her father. "You're no help."
"You're going to be going there to learn." Daemon said looking her in the eyes. "Don't worry about the guys. Besides, if any guy lays a finger on you, they have me to deal with."
Lilandra looked up at her father who had stood up. "Daddy Dearest, you would never do anything like that. If I fell for a guy at school, you wouldn't be mean would you?" she asked as she stood up.
"No of course I wouldn't." Daemon said as he draped his arm over her shoulders. Lilandra looked up at her father and smiled. "I'll leave that to your uncle. That way, I'm not the bad guy, he is." Daemon said smiling
Lilandra stopped dead in her tracks. "Maybe I should just stay away from guys at this school." Lilandra said looking at her father with a serious expression that didn't reach her eye. Her eyes were sparkling with the laughter that she wanted to let out. "I'll worn Raya to stay away from them to. If Uncle Lucivar would be the bad guy for you, I'm sure you'd be the bad guy for him and then they guys would leave Raya and me anyway."
"You know." Daemon said smiling as he and his daughter walked out the door. "That might not be such a bad idea for you girls. I knew some of my intelligence had to have rubbed off on you."
"Oh dad." Lilandra said as she hit her dad on the chest.
"Hey Lily." Raya said as she saw her cousin and her uncle walk into the room.
"Hi Raya." Lilandra said looking at all the people that were squeezed into the small room. "Looks like everyone came to see us off."
"We were all in the Dark Court together." Morghann said as she hugged Lilandra then Raya.
"We were all there when both of your parents got married." Karla said hugging both girls in turn. "And we were there when both of you were born do you really think we would let you leave without being here to see you off."
"You girls are like our own daughters." Jonah said giving both girls a hug.
It took Raya and Lilandra thirty minutes mainly because they were trying to figure out how everyone managed to squeeze into the small room, especially the Centaurs.
Everyone watched as Jaenelle lit the candles in a new and unknown order. They heard her mumble something and then a gate opened before them. They had all been standing and staring and the gates for a few minutes when Jaenelle turned to Daemon and said: "I'm not sure if their gate works the same way as our, but here are some candles and the words to open the gate are in the bag with them."
"We'll be fine Sweetheart." Daemon said taking a bag from Jaenelle. He then gave his wife a kiss and his two youngest children a hug.
"Let's go." Chaosti said as he walked through the gate followed by Aaron and Khary.
"Take care of my family Prick." Daemon said turning to face Lucivar.
"Of course I will." Lucivar said looking from Jaenelle and the kids to Daemon. He then looked at Raya who was smiling uncontrollably. "You just make sure nothing happens to my little girl Bastard."
"Of course we will." Lilandra said hugging her uncle in a tight bear hug before her father could answer. "Someone has to keep her out of trouble."
"And I suppose you think that you can keep me out of trouble." Raya said looking skeptically at her cousin. "I get into more trouble with you in one day than I do alone in a whole month."
"Me get into trouble?" Lilandra asked innocently as she put her arm around her cousin's waist.
"Yes you." Raya said laughing as she put her arm around her cousin.
"It's not trouble that I'm getting into." Lilandra stated matter of factly. "I'm just having fun."
Both girls then walked through the gate laughing and debating on whether Lilandra got into trouble or whether she was just having fun.
"In my daughters case, I don't think there is a difference between trouble and fun." Daemon said looking at the gate worriedly. Turning to Lucivar he asked: " Are you sure you wouldn't rather go Prick? After all your daughter will be gone a year."
"Now, now." Lucivar said as he backed up with his hands in the air . "We drew straws and you won."
"Personally I think I lost." Daemon mumbled.
"Good luck Bastard." Lucivar said patting Daemon on the back.
"I'll need it." Daemon said taking a deep breath and stepping through the gate.
"May the Darkness be merciful." Lucivar said as they all walked out of the building a short time later. "I feel sorry for this school. They may not be getting the entire Triple Threat, but they're getting the two worst ones."
