Hey look it's the third chapter! I'm glad you guys like it so far. Enjoy!^^
After everyone got over the shock of what Larka had told Gilbert all of the adults except for Ivan and Alfred went back to trying to figure out who should take the strange girl in.
"Hey there what are you two building?" Alfred asked the two toddlers crouching down to their level as he watched them play with Luciano's blocks
"We're making a tower." Larka told him as the younger of the two knocked it down
"Correction we were building a tower." She sighed picking up a blue block and starting over
"Warka why are you building it again? It fell down." Luciano asked
"I'm building it again because it fell." She told him before Ivan kneeled down and looked her in the eyes. Instead of looking away the small girl simply held the larger man's gaze without blinking till the Russian turned to his mate
"Would we be able to take her to our home?" he asked
"Dude I didn't know you wanted kids." Alfred replied
"I don't but I like her and someone has to take her home. She intrigues me and what she told Gilbert was funny." Ivan smiled
"Um Vanya a little girl telling a grown man that some crazy dead person wants to kill him isn't funny." Alfred told him
"Yes well it made me pleasure smile." He grinned before turning back to the girl
"You want to come home with me da?" he asked her. Turning to face him again Larka reached out her hand and touched Ivan's after a second she removed her hand and smiled
"Yes I would like to go home with you." She told him as he gave her a huge smile and picked her up
"I'm taking the small girl now goodbye." He told the others as he and Alfred left with Larka.
"Huh who would have guessed that Ivan wanted a kid?" Arthur stated as they all watched the couple leave with their new ward
"Well both Ivan and Larka are kind of weird so I guess odd people attract other odd people?" Francis wondered
"If they hadn't have taken her I would have." Kiku announced
"Yeah but what was up with that freaky line about someone wanting me dead?" Gilbert wondered
"We can figure that one out later. Right now I suggest we all go home. We've intruded upon Ludwig and Feliciano enough for one day." Rolf told everyone as they all left leaving the two vampire wolves alone.
Once Ivan and Alfred arrived home Ivan set Larka down so that she could explore her new home while Ivan pulled out his cell phone to tell his sisters about his new ward.
"So what do you think pretty nice place huh?" Alfred asked her as she looked around the huge living room
"I like it. So I get to live here?" she wondered
"Of course you do! As of today you are now a part of our family. The whole pack is like a family but Ivan and I are like your new parents." Alfred told her
"So are you two a witch and a Shinigami?" she asked shocking Alfred a little
"No we're shifters who can phase into wolves." He replied
"Oh so you're fae so that means that I am too now since that blonde man bit me?" Larka mused before shifting into a cute black and white wolf pup with gold and silver eyes.
Ivan walked in about this time and saw Larka in her wolf form and gave her one of his rare true smiles before she shifted back
"I'll show you your room now da?" he smiled as he led her up the stairs and to a room down the hall from the master.
The room was huge and had a large canopy bed against one wall, its own bathroom, and an entire wall of windows that led to her own private balcony that overlooked the lush green forest that surrounded the pack's home.
"Is it really all mine?" she gasped as Alfred and Ivan told her it was before leading her back downstairs for dinner.
That night Larka fell asleep on the couch curled up against Alfred who was also sleeping so Ivan smiled and carried his mate and new child up the stairs, placed Alfred on their bed, and then tucked Larka into her own bed before heading to bed himself.
The next three days passed quickly and everyone was gathered at Feliciano and Ludwig's home again to celebrate Luciano and Larka's birthday. Feliciano had doubled all of his party stuff when he had learned Larka's birthday was on the same day as his son's.
"So have you learned anything about Larka's past?" Rolf asked Alfred and Ivan when all of the adults were gathered in the kitchen while the two children were taking a nap in the living room
"Well when I told her Ivan and I were her new parents she asked if one of us was a witch and if the other was a Shinigami." Alfred replied as Arthur choked on his tea.
"Are you alright amour?" Francis asked as Arthur recovered
"Am I the only one that knows what happens when you mix death and magic?!" he demanded before they all heard Gilbert in the other room with the kids
"Hey Larka wake up you're only dreaming!" he told her before Alfred cussed
"Gilbert don't touch her!" he yelled too late as the white wolf picked up the little girl causing her to scream so loud it woke the dead. Literally. As soon as she started screaming the house was filled with the spirits of those who had passed.
Larka's parents,
Ludwig and Gilbert's parents,
Feli and Lovi's parents,
Kiku's entire family,
Francis's lost love,
Matthew and Alfred's parents,
Antonio's family,
Arthur's little brother,
and the one that shocked them the most was Elizabeta's ghost standing directly behind Gilbert getting ready to kill the albino till Larka's eyes snapped open and the ghosts disappeared.
After the images faded Larka went limp as she passed out from using her powers
"Before anyone asks, that's what happens when you mix death and magic. That girl is a Necromancer and a very powerful one at that." Arthur told them as they all turned and looked at the girl sleeping in Gilberts arms.
The rest of the afternoon was spent discussing what exactly to do with Larka before they all heard a small voice behind them
"Mama what are you and Vati talking about?" Luciano asked as Larka stood behind him. The small girl's mismatched eyes locked with Arthur's green ones before she turned and ran out of the house through the open patio door
"Larka!" Alfred yelled before chasing after the girl as the others followed.
It didn't take them long to find her as she had ran to the edge of a steep cliff overlooking a large lake several feet below
"Larka!" Alfred called as he and the others got closer before she turned to them "Are you going to try to kill me too?!" she screamed with tears in her eyes
"Did you really think the crash was an accident? My papa was a Shinigami he knew when someone was going to die like I do. He knew he and mama were going to die and that it would be my fault.
"Necromancers are rare and dangerous so they were taking me to Romania where they were going to hand me over to another necromancer so he could kill me and absorb my power! So I'll ask again are going to try to kill me too?!" she cried as Rolf got closer
"No one is going to kill you Larka." He told her
"Yeah well then why does the blonde warlock have murder in his eyes. I'm the child of a Shinigami and a very powerful witch who could see the future. I can read people's emotions and glimpse into their thoughts, he wants me dead." She growled backing up further till she was right on the edge.
"Larka stop moving you're going to fall!" Feliciano called right before the ground beneath her paws crumbled and she fell.
Is Larka going to be ok? Does Arthur really want her dead? And who were Larka's parents taking her to go see? Review and find out!^^
