"I'm going to kill him. His head will be a soccer ball!" Irina hissed angrily as Laurent held her close to try and calm her down while Bella was blinking rapidly from within Kate's protective arms where the vampiress in question was purring as she nuzzled Bella's hair.
"Don't listen to what he said little star, you're more than a distraction." Kate murmured softly as she continued nuzzling and purring to Bella.
"How dare he say that to anyone?!" Tanya snarled angrily, despite still being cuddled into Leah who was vibrating in anger.
"I'll help you Irina. We can have a soccer game across the country with his head." Carmen agreed with a growl to her voice.
"It's one of my many times great grandchildren he's harmed, I get to rip his head off and give the first kick." Irina growled out making Carmen and Tanya nod in agreement.
"So Bells is a granddaughter of yours? And what's an ice spirit?" Seth asked confused and causing the vampires to all pause except Kate who was still nuzzling and purring to Bella.
"Yes Bella is one of my many times great grandchildren…you and Leah are as well." Irina said nodding and giving Seth a small smile.
"How?" Leah asked confused and shooting Irina curious looks.
"Before I was found by mom and my two overprotective sisters, I was married to a farmer whom my father owed money to. He wasn't a bad man, in fact he was very caring of me. Before I was changed, I had three children, two beautiful little girls and one adorable little boy. You three look a lot like them actually." Irina said smiling sadly as she remembered her children, looking at the three teens who looked confused at this.
"I was always pale due to being inside the house more than outside of it, and my eldest daughter Mila, took after me in paleness and my brown eyes while having my husbands brown colored hair. All three of my children had my husbands hair, but Mila's was a bit lighter than her siblings, my blond hair affecting it somewhat." Irina began smiling at Bella who blinked before giving her a shy smile.
"My younger two, my son Sian and my younger daughter Sakai, however took after my husbands dark hair and tanned skin, only having my eyes and my height for the girls." Irina said smiling as she looked at Leah and Seth now, causing Seth to give a dazzling grin while Leah just smirked a bit and cuddled Tanya close.
"Unfortunately the day I was turned, my house caught on fire and my husband was out of the area trading some of our crops for supplies. I managed to get Sian and Mila out of the house… however when I went back to get Sakai… it was too late." Irina closed her eyes as she recalled this and leaned back into Laurent who purred trying to sooth his mate as she looked pained at this.
"Sister." Tanya said sympathetically as she scooted closer to her sister while remaining in Leah's lap, grabbing Irina's hand and holding it to comfort her youngest sister.
"I'm alright. It's been so long that while it still hurts… it's not as crippling as it once was." Irina said opening her misty golden eyes to smile sadly at her sister who nodded in understanding and wrapped an arm around Irina's shoulder in support.
"I don't recall what exactly happened but because I was an ice spirit I was incredibly weak to fire and I ended up trapped in the house, only to be rescued by these two lugs and changed by Tanya." Irina said looking at her sister who gave her a weak smile.
"Kate had went to fetch some water to douse the fire when Rina had been knocked out by the smoke. I couldn't wait for the whole house to be doused, so I got Irina doused first but she was too far gone thanks to the smoke and the flames licking at her skin…I don't know what it was or why it happened but something just wouldn't let me leave her. I can't explain it but something told me I had to save her, so I changed her. She was the first and only person I've ever changed… and I don't regret saving my sister." Tanya said softly and she scooted closer to her youngest sister and purred soothingly.
"After getting my bloodlust under control I watched over my remaining children from afar and helped when they needed me…both of my children managed to thrive and have many kids and grandchildren of their own before the wars and plague killed many of my descendants, but some of them did survive and relocated here to America over the course of the years since the Industrial Age…it's obvious that some of my descendants survived because… well here you three are." Irina said smiling softly at the three teens and causing Kate to blink for a second.
"So… Tanya's mate is one of your great however many grandkids that can turn into a giant lioness… and my mate is also one of your great however many grandkids that is an ice spirit?" Kate asked after a few seconds of silence, making Irina nod her head at her sister who was still holding Bella close protectively.
"Yes and Bella has my family sword in her possession." Irina added causing the two other blond vampires heads to snap over to Bella and the sword on her back, which made her shift a little uncomfortably.
"Family sword?" Seth asked curiously, his head tilted to the side.
"Yes you see back during the wars before guns and all were made, people fought with swords, knives, and bows and arrows. At that time when I was watching over my family Mila had two grandkids, one boy and one girl, while Sian had one granddaughter but they were too poor to afford weapons to defend themselves and none of them knew how to craft a weapon. Over the course of my vampire life however I had learned the process and made a secret visit to each of my grandkids under disguise of a kind gypsy to ask which type of weapon was their favorite." Irina began to explain further as she thought back to all those many years ago.
"Sian's girl, Selah, had preferred daggers but had been bitten by a werewolf as a young girl…I crafted her a pair of daggers made from her werewolf venom, and some iron ores that she said called to her. She had nicknamed them Moon Blades for how they glowed silver in the moonlight." Irina said looking out of the window on the other side of the room at nothing in particular.
"Mila's grandson, Klaus, had been bitten by another vampire however and preferred a bow to snipe his enemies from afar. So I crafted him a bow and several arrows from the oldest oak tree I could find and his venom. He had named the bow, oh how do you say nowadays?... I believe nowadays its name would roughly translate to Shadows Fury? He had two children before being turned however and managed to pass the bow and arrows to his son before he was killed by the Volturi, the vampire royalty and enforcers, for exposing himself as a vampire to his sister and children." Irina looked even sadder at this but continued talking before anyone could say anything as her eyes turned to the sword that Bella held.
"Klaus's sister…her name was Ilarya, and she had asked me for a sword so that she could protect her daughter. She was not a werewolf nor a vampire but she had inherited what I then knew to be my Ice Spirit side. So I made her a blade of steel and silver and tempered it with my venom so that it was more durable than any other sword, when she watched me work however she accidentally cut herself and some of her blood got onto the blade which gave it the snowflake emblem on the tip of it. When Klaus was being killed the sword had been on the ground nearby and some of his venom got onto it which gave it the golden line down the center, and when she had used the blade to stab a werewolf that was trying to bite or eat her daughter, the wolves' blood created the silver line. When one of the lines glow it shows if that person is Ice Spirit, Vampire, and Werewolf/shifter. Over the years all three of their weapons began to vanish into obscurity as wars and fights broke out and I could no longer keep track of them. What I did learn though, was that only someone of my blood is able to wield the family blade. Before her death and when she passed it down to her daughter, Ilarya named the blade… its name made no sense at the time but after visiting Japan many years ago I learned the name behind the blade." Irina said looking at the blade and causing everyone to look curious.
"What's it's name?" Eleazer asked entranced by the tale and causing Irina to give a small chuckle as she relaxed back into Laurent.
"The name is rather ironic actually. It's Yuki Onna or, Snow Woman in English."
