Author's Note: HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY TO ME


Chapter .5.


Rose and Eddie lead Adrian, Mia, and Christian into the dining room. Where other people were sitting and talking. Some Moroi and some Dhampir's. They seemed to be arguing over something. They had wine in fine glasses being severed by a waiter.

"HI Everyone!" Rose calls

Their arguing finally stops and they turn to the door.

"My Granddaughter!" a Moroi woman says coming up and hugging Rose

"How have you been sweetheart", the Moroi man asks

"I lost a bond-mate and a person I thought I loved. But now I have Adrian. Grandma, Grandpa this is Adrian Ivashkov", Rose says introducing them

"Hello Adrian. I am Sophia Turpina-Mazur. Rose's grandmother", Sophia says hugging Adrian, "You too look good together"

"I am Ibrahim Mazur XIX", Ibrahim says

"Be nice", Sophia says to her husband

"I'll try. The Ivashkov's don't get along with the Mazur's for generations", Ibrahim XIX says sitting down next to his wife

Rose pulls Adrian over to the table with her family.

"Some Ivashkov's we do get along with", a Moroi woman says, "Hi Adrian I am Rebecca Matila Mazur-Szelsky. I am Rose's and Eddie's Aunt"

"Like your parents Adrian", a Moroi man says from sitting next to Rebecca

"Who are you sir?" Adrian asks

"I am Nyles Szelsky part of the good Royal Moroi Szelsky Family", Nyles says

"Your family is…nice", Christian says

Nyles laughs, "Nice. Right. Only good one is Ariana. Who are you kid?"

"Christian Ozera Lord Szelsky", Christian says

"Ozera?" a Dhampir and a Moroi say from the table

"Yes why?" Christian asks

"I am Jane Mazur. Rose's and Eddie's aunt", Jane says

"And I am Edmund Ozera her husband. Welcome to the family. The good side", Edmund says

"You mean there are other good Ozera's out there?" Christian asks

"Of course. Our children our Dhampir Ozera's. And I am a Dhampir Ozera. Let's just say my birth wasn't planned", Edmund Ozera says starting to eat

"I am Alisz Mazur. Rose's and Eddie's Aunt this is my husband Damion Tarus", Alisz says

"Lord Tarus", Adrian says

"None of that. Uncle Damion. My family disowned me for marrying a Mazur", Damion Tarus says

"I was disowned too because I am a Dhampir and not a precious Moroi like my siblings. No offence honey", a Dhampir woman says

"None taken. I am Caius Masen Mazur, Rose's and Eddie's Uncle and this is my wife Isadora Voda", Caius says taking a sip of his wine

"I am Callidora Mazur-Drozdov I am Rose's and Eddie's Aunt", Callidora says

"I am her husband Justin Drozodv", a Moroi man says

"I am Markus Mazur I am Rose and Eddie's Uncle. This is my wife Helena Badica", Markus says

"I am a Dhampir. My parents didn't disown me. But they don't knowledge me", Helena Badica-Mazur says

"I am Ellis Mazur and this is my husband Blaze Lazar", Ellis says

"I am not like my crazy cousin", Blaze Lazar says

"Good too know. She tried to kill us", Adrian says

"Too much inbreeding", Blaze Lazar says causing everyone to laugh

"I am Demion Mazur and this is my wife a Dhampir named Katerina Zeklos", Demion says

"I am not like the other Zeklos for one I am a Dhampir and two I am disowned", Katerina says

"Are all of you but the Mazur's disowned?" Mia asks

"Most of us. I am Lilyanna Dragomir by the way a Dhampir. The hidden Dragomir royal", Lilyanna says

Adrian, Christian and Mia chock on their food

"You're a Dragomir?" Christian asks

"Yes and technically I am the Princess not Vasilisa. I am the oldest living member of the Dragomir's. But I am a Dhampir. Tatiana banished me a long time ago. Everyone has forgotten I exist", Lilyanna says

"I am her husband Desmond Mazur and I don't care she is a Dhampir she is still my soul mate in my eyes", Desmond says

"Aren't you sweet?" Lilyanna asks kissing him

"One day they will see you again Aunt Lilyanna", Rose says

"Maybe. But I don't hold much hope", Lilyanna says

"I am Alrich Mazur I am Alisz's twin. I am Rose's and Eddie's Uncle", Alrich says

"I am his wife Ellie Conta. My family disowned me because I am a Dhampir. Something needs to change in our world", Ellie Conta-Mazur says

"Thinking about it", Ibrahim XIX says

"Thinking about what?" Christian asks

"Can they be trusted Rosemarie? Edward?" Ibrahim XIX asks

"They can Grandfather", Eddie says

"They can Grandpa. I trust them with my life and they have saved my life several times", Rose says

"Ok we will tell you. The Mazur's are an old family like my son told you. We go right back to the first of the Moroi", Ibrahim XIX says

"That…that", Adrian says

"Is hard to grasp I know. But the Mazur family are the true rulers of the Moroi and Dhampir world. We are older than all the other houses. My wife here Sophia is a Turpina she is from an ancient family too", Ibrahim XIX says

"What are the Ancient families? We have only been told about the Twelve Royal Moroi families the Badica, Conta, Ozera, Tarus, Dashkov, Voda, Lazar, Drozdov, Zeklos, Szelsky and Ivashkov", Adrian says

"There are over 31 altogether. We are in hiding. The Mazur is the biggest with over 400 members", Ibrahim XIX says

"Who are they?" Mia asks

"Victore who has 100 members, Victorsson who has 50 members, Rompa who has 150 members, Tsson who has 130 members, Rompu who has 175 members and most of them Dhampir, Claes who have 200 members half of which are Dhampirs, Vroom with 80 members, Maes who has 130 members, Merckx who has 250 members some of which are proud Dhampir, Maekers who has 50 members, Tillens who have 130 members, Ashdown who has 145 members, Payne who has 80 members, Nash who has 100 members, Obelyn who has 311 members, Seymour who has 134 members, Goodyere who has 65 members, and the Eyre family who has 300 members", Ibrahim XIX says

"You could take over the court with all those royal families", Christian says

"Christian we are peaceful. We do what we can to help. But we don't get involved. That is why Eddie and I were hidden", Rose says

"But we are thinking about showing Tatiana who the real ruler is", Rose's father Ibrahim XX says

"It comes to a vote in a month. Should we show ourselves or not?"
