A/N: Sorry if you feel that I took too long to update, my computer hates me. Big thanks to everyone that reviewed my story. :D There is a pole on my profile regarding Pixie Dust. If you haven't read Pixie Dust then you need to read it, especially those that like Amy she is one of the main characters.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I own nothing except my pixies. All of the hot vampire dudes and dudettes belong to LJ Smith. Darn!

The Puzzle

GaryPOV

"Wait, what prophecy?" Dead for 5 years and you miss everything.

"The prophecy referring to the end of the world?" Ivy looked at me like I had lost my marbles. I'm pretty sure that my face looked blank; they proceeded in filling me in on what had happened the last five years. (A/N: If you don't know you should really read the book. It's WAY too long to explain.)

"Oh wow, that's a lot to take in." My brain was trying desperately to digest all of the information they had just given me. "So what does this have to do with your daughter?"

"I was just getting to that." Ivy's tone was that of extreme impatience. "See what your witch didn't tell you is that the end of the world is inevitable. You guys are fighting a loosing battle. What you should be fighting for is after the end."

"What do you mean after the end? There is going to be no after the end, that's why they call it the end!"

Ivy looked at me with a bored expression. "Okay then, don't think of this as the end of the world, think of it as the end of one book in the entire series."

"How long is the series?" The redheaded girl, who's name was Jez, asked.

"That's beside the point."

"So what is the point?" Hannah asked.

"The point," Ivy stressed. "Is that you guys have it wrong. You're trying to use the wild powers to prevent the end of the world. When what you should be doing is trying collect them and keep them safe until after the end of the world, then you need to use them to make sure that circle midnight doesn't have any chance whatsoever to rule."

"Okay so where does your daughter fit into this?" I asked.

"My daughter is the only person that can assure that all of your precious wild powers see past the end."

JacindaPOV

"Wake the hell up!" I hear a voice screech over me.

"Mmm, NO! Go away!" I yank the covers farther over my head in attempt to lock out the intruder.

"Jacinda Kasmira Ambers! If you don't get up right this instant so help me I'll..."

"...You'll what?" I sit up fast enough for a tiny wave of vertigo to hit before I spew my counter threat to my current adoptive sister Kathy.

"Jacinda!" She screams outraged. Today is the day she and her twin brother Miles go off to college, and away from me and I'm more than slightly overjoyed, and it's bugging her that everyone isn't paying attention to her. AKA, I'm not paying attention to her.

"Lillian!" I smiled, she hates her first name. She and her brother Jonathon prefer to be called by their middle names, Kathleen and Miles, I can get away with calling them by their first names every once in a while. If anyone else does it they will all but rip their throats out. Just like she hates to be called Lillian, I hate being addressed by my full name, Jacinda, I prefer Jace. Not Jay, not J.C., just Jace.

"Jace!" She whines. "Get up! I have to leave for college, you're going to miss my going away breakfast!"

I give her pout and distressed gaze an analytical look. "Fine!" I slowly make my way out of the bed and into the shower. The way I see it, the sooner I participate in the Kathy show, the sooner she leaves!

GaryPOV

Ivy left right after that everyone was sitting right where they were before she left; in a state of shock.

"Well, is anyone going to introduce me?" I joked in attempt to lighten the mood.

After another 5 minutes of complete silence, a girl with brown hair and eyes to match stood up. "I'm Thea Harman," A witch. She motioned to the dark hair guy sitting on the other side of the room. "That's David Blackburn, he's my soulmate." Soulmate so is that what Amy said when she referred to me as the princess's soulmate? Goddess I hope not! I'm not soulmate material. Maybe I can get by just being her friend...with benefits of course.

"Gary! Are you listening?" Gillian slapped my leg hard enough to cause it to turn red.

"Ow! What?" I rubbed my injured leg glaring at Gillian.

"Ugh, let me repeat myself." Thea was looking annoyed. "That's Jez, but of course you knew that, and that's her soulmate Morgead Blackthorn." A dark haired vampire with green eyes nodded. Next she pointed to a couple sharing the loveseat. The girl had elfin features with her coppery red hair and striking green eyes. The male had blonde hair and deep gray eyes. "That's Poppy North and James Redfern." I noticed how she referred to them as one whole person. Instead of saying 'that's Poppy and that's James', she said 'that's Poppy and James'. It was just a tad bit awkward.

"Rashel Jordan and J–Quinn Redfern," She caught herself as a scary looking vampire glared daggers at her while the girl, I assumed was Rashel, attempted to calm him.

"Ash Redfern," Thea then pointed to a somber-looking boy with Ash Blonde hair. "Don't ask where his soulmate is, he's touchy about that." She whispered in my ear, the blonde vampire named Ash, stood up.

"No it's okay!" He said in a tone that made it all too clear that it wasn't okay. "Let's just tell everyone how Ash's soulmate died! Died as in she's gone! Never coming back! She's pushing on fucking daisies!" When tears threatened to spill at his monologue he ran out of the door.

"Oh dear," said a girl with brown hair and warm gaze. "Thea, you should have overlooked Ash; you know how he gets these days. Kestrel, Jade, go after him." Two girls stood up and were out of the door in the blink of an eye.

Thea looked at me, "I'm sorry you had to see that. Come, I'll show you the rest of Circle Daybreak." She took my hand and slowly walked me around the room giving an introduction and description of all of the people left in Circle Daybreak.

JacindaPOV

I looked down at the food on my plate with disgust. I don't know what is wrong with me lately, I'm hungry but I don't wanna eat.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" Lynda, my adoptive mother, asked.

"Nothing ma," I reassured her, Lynda had been with me since I was five. I was now 17, it feels completely natural to call her mom.

"Don't tell me that, you know that it's impossible for you to lie to me."

What does she want me to say, that I love her but I can't help feeling that I need to find my birth parents! That I want to know who they are and what kind of life I could have had! No I can't do that, that would hurt her feelings.

"No it doesn't Jacey, it's completely natural for you to want to find your birth parents. That doesn't hurt my feelings one bit." Oh shit! Did I say that out loud? "As a matter of fact, we have some good news." Kathy was glaring daggers at me, this was supposed to be her day, I was "taking it" away from her. "We had a P.I. do a private investigation on your birth parents. Apparently you mother wasn't able to carry a baby full term so they used a surrogate mother."

I have two mothers? I would have been happy with one birth mother but now I had two. One who I share a gene pool with and another that actually gave birth to me.

My smile could have stretched from here to the west coast.

"Do you know where they are?" My enthusiasm could have lit every house from here to Asia.

"Well, see sweetie," My dad had a somber look on his face. "They're dead, both of them. You're surrogate mother was murdered, and there are no other files of your biological mother except for the ones at the hospital, as with your dad." I froze, dead? "We're sorry."

"But you have a sister!" My mom exclaimed, forever the optimist. "A twin to be exact."

"Do you know where she is?" I asked skeptically.

"No." My dad answered. "But we know someone that can help."

"Who?" I nearly jumped out of my seat.

"Someone by the name of..." He looked down at a file that was on the table, why hadn't I noticed that before? "Hunter... Redfern."

A/N: Aaaaaah! Don't shoot me! Trust me Ash will find his happiness, I will not say how or when, but he will be happy in the end. As for Jace, well it's probably going to be as bad as you think, the next chapter is either going to make you cry or puke up your breakfast, naaa it probably won't be that bad but it'll still be pretty sad. Sorry. But the story will not be ending anytime soon so that's good. Just remember flames are welcome, I want to know everyone's opinion, good or bad so bring it! Don't edit to spare my feelings haha. My time limit on update is two weeks so check back again around November 13th. If something comes up I will try desperately to put out an Authors Note.
