A/N: Sorry it took so long.

Death & Confessions

"I told you it was reckless." Delmas said as he tended to Elizabeth's wounds.

"Shut up!" she hissed.

"He's right." Said a new voice.

Elizabeth gulped, "Hey William."

William Corvinus (A.K.A. William Dunbar) was an elder like Sissi, but he was older. "Still for a vampire of your age to get that beat up. A few of them must be pretty old." He said.

"I'm still gonna extract my revenge on that street urchin." Sissi said.

"By all means go ahead. I don't have authority over you. I have my own agenda."

"This is Odd Della Robbia." Sam said, introducing him to her parents.

"It is a pleasure Mr. and Mrs. Knight." Odd said.

"I must say Sam, he's one of your better choices." Mr. Knight said.

"So this 'triple date' you mentioned. Yumi and her boyfriend are going to?" Mrs. Knight asked.

"Yes Mom, and the third party are Odd's studious brother and his equally studious girlfriend." Sam said.

"Then you can go."

"All right!"

"So what's on the agenda?" Sam asked. Her and Odd were in the back seat of Ulrich's custom Mustang GT, with Ulrich and Yumi in the front.

"We're meeting Jeremy and Aelita at the movies, then we're going out to eat." Ulrich said.

"Yes!" Yumi said.

"Where are we going to eat dinner?" Sam asked.

"I was thinking somewhere Italian." Ulrich said.

"Works for me!" Sam and Yumi said together.

"I think she may have found someone we might actually like." Mr. Knight said.

"Me too." Mrs. Knight agreed.

"Don't worry." Tamiya said, "Ulrich and his adopted siblings are good people."

For once, the Knight family and their adopted daughter thought everything would turn out perfect. But it was not to be…

Elizabeth watched them from the street. She licked her fangs in anticipation, and crashed through the window of the Knight's home.

"The movie was awesome!" Yumi said.

"I was disappointed." Ulrich said, "I prefer the real Mandarin, and there was only one 'Extremis' villain in the comics." they pulled up to Sam's house, and looked in horror.

The place was trashed and dark.

"MOM! DAD! TAMIYA!" Sam screamed and raced through the front door, followed by Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, Jeremy, and Aelita.

The walls and floors were covered in blood. Sam's parents were in pieces, scattered all over the room. Tamiya was lying in a pool of her own blood.

"No Tamiya, not you." Sam whispered.

Suddenly Tamiya twitched.

"Tamiya?"

Lighting fast Tamiya latched onto Sam's neck with her fangs, her red eyes glowing.

Odd reacted on instinct and changed, pulling Tamiya off of Sam.

"Odd?" Sam said weakly.

Tamiya curled into ball crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She whimpered repeatedly.

"What the Hell?" Yumi shouted.

"So…You're the Werewolves." Sissi said as she emerged from the shadows in her vampire form with a wakizashi strapped to her waist.

"Sissi." Ulrich said.

"Sissi?" Sam asked, "Oh God, Sissi, YOU DID THIS!?"

"That's vampire elder Elizabeth Deimos to you peasant."

"You're a Deimos!" Ulrich exclaimed. No wonder she was so fast and strong.

"The Deimos, ah you've brought the skinny crow with you. Well then," Lighting fast Elizabeth shot towards Yumi, but was blind-sided by Werewolf Odd and Ulrich.

Elizabeth was about to retaliate, when Sam stabbed her with a piece of splintered wood on the floor. "Nice try, but the wooden stake is a myth. I'm afraid I have to go know." And she was gone.

"What's happened to Tamiya?" Sam demanded.

Aelita appeared with two pairs of boxers and tossed them to Ulrich and Odd before they changed back.

"Aelita," Ulrich began.

"I already called Franz and the police are on their way."

"What the Hell is going on here!?" Yumi demanded.

"Well talk after we help Tamiya." Ulrich said.

When Franz, Emily, Theo, and Milly got there Franz had a packet of blood with him. "Drink this Tamiya."

"I… I can't do that." she said weakly.

"If you don't you'll attack your sister and other people."

Tamiya knew he was right, she understood what happened, so she drank.

Soon the police showed up to investigate.

"I…owe you two some answers." Ulrich said.

"I think I have the general idea." Yumi said, "Sissi's a vampire and you guys are Werewolves, but we can talk about this tomorrow, after Sam has some time to recover." She said as she looked to where Sam and Tamiya we're holding each other and crying.

"Yumi!" Mr. Ishiyama said making his way to her closely followed by Mrs. Ishiyama and Hiroki.

"Mom! Dad! Hiroki!" after they embraced Mr. Ishiyama turned to Ulrich, "What happened?"

"I… I'm not sure. The nature of the attack looks like some kind of animal. But the brutality and the fact that one of them was left alive…I don't know what to think."

"Mom, Dad, can Sam and Tamiya stay with us for tonight?" Yumi asked.

"Of course they can."

Before she left Ulrich whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid. We will be watching over you."

Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita sat in the trees outside Yumi's house. Making sure they were safe.

"We can't hide who we are now." Odd said.

"I have that feeling." Ulrich said, "I had the same one when I met Jun. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt."

"I hope your right." Aelita said, "Because if we have to leave here, we won't be able to protect anyone from the vampires."

"You know when I woke up, I had hoped it would have just been a nightmare." Sam said at the table the next morning.

"You want something to eat?" Mr. Ishiyama asked.

"No thanks."

"Tamiya?"

"I'm not hungry either."

Yumi sat with them just picking at her food. Then she got a text.

'Meet us at the park, we have a lot to talk about. Bring Sam and Tamiya'

-Ulrich

"Dad?" Yumi asked, "Is it okay if Sam and I hang out with Ulrich and Odd today? I think they want to make sure Sam and Tamiya are okay too."

"I guess that's okay." Mr. Ishiyama said.

"Can I go to?" Hiroki asked.

"You're going over to Johnny's today remember?"

"Oh, never mind."

When Yumi, Sam, and Tamiya got to the park they found Ulrich, Odd, Aelita, Jeremy, Milly, Theo, Emily, and Franz waiting for them.

"So," Yumi began, "You guys are Werewolves?"

"Bluntly yes." Jeremy said.

"Well, I'm not." Franz said. "I'm human."

"Franz took us in decades ago, when we lived in Canada." Ulrich said.

"What's the full story?" Sam asked.

"Well, it starts a long time ago, longer then I care to remember. But I always remember that day… I was born in Germany, my Father was a proud man as well as an arrogant bastard. He became a werewolf willingly so he could live forever, and killed my Mother when he had his first breeding period."

"Breeding period?" Yumi asked.

"It's the same as when animals go into heat, but it's different with Werewolves. Other than the desire to repeatedly mate their bloodlust is also increased. Because of their increased aggression during this time, humans can't survive mating with a Werewolf in its breeding period."

Seeing there were no questions he continued. "My Mom was just the first of many women who died during his first breeding period. I knew it was him, and I made him angry, and was changed against my will. I swore I'd take revenge for my Mother. But then he disappeared. After that I met my sensei. He was a Werewolf as well and he took me to Japan with him. He taught me many things. When the era came, we became samurai."

"You're a samurai?" Sam asked.

"Was one of the first. Sensei also managed to keep me restrained during my first breeding period. About a 400 years before the samurai era, I decided to see more of the world, that's when I met Milly."

"I was Amelia Solovieff back then. I was the daughter of nobles, but I was rebellious. I was always sneaking out. One night it cost me. I was kidnapped by some pervert who proceeded to brutally rape and almost murder me. Ulrich stopped him, but I was already dying cause of his brutal treatment, so he changed me."

"Ulrich? How old are you?" Yumi asked.

"I'm almost 2,000 years old. Milly is about 1,500."

"That's, old."

Ulrich continued, "Milly and I traveled together after that. We wanted to avoid people for a while, so we went to Canada. That's where we met Aelita."

"I lived in a small cottage in the mountains with my parents." Aelita said. "We were cut off from society, and that's how we liked it. But we fell prey to other Werewolves."

"Other Werewolves?" Sam asked.

"Some Werewolves can't accept what they've become. Sometimes when they change for the first time they end up killing people close to them. As a result they go mad. They become a wild and infectious breed, unable to retain human form. They gave me this." Aelita opened her jacket showing them nasty looking claw marks across her stomach all the way up to her chest, ending just below her breasts.

"When Milly and I found her she was bleeding to death from that wound. So I saved her."

"What happened?" Sam asked.

"It was a normal day. I was out playing in the snow and my parents were watching from a few feet away. It all happened so fast. One of the wolves leaped at me from the shadows. My Father had a rifle with him like he always did for emergencies like this. They told me to run, and I did, sometimes I wish I hadn't. It wasn't until after I ran that I noticed I was in intense pain and bleeding terribly. Eventually I passed out. I woke up in Ulrich's cabin as a wolf."

"So all of you were changed cause you were dying." Yumi concluded.

"I wasn't." Jeremy said.

"And Ulrich didn't change me." Emily said.

"Well, what happened?"

"Jeremy came on the scene after Odd, who had been in the wrong place at the wrong time and was stabbed about twelve times. This was the first time we we're in France. We enrolled in Jeremy's school as transfer students who got free room and board. As Jeremy mentioned we met when I made some bullies leave him alone. Jeremy and Aelita hit it off instantly, that is where our lives are complicated. Aelita had already had her first breeding period so she would be able to control herself, but for Jeremy to become one of us, he would've had to give up everything else."

"I wasn't sure at first, after I found out anyway. I loved my parents and wasn't ready to give them up. But they were taken from me. My parents were out one night just enjoying themselves. When they left the restaurant a shooting broke out, they were caught in the crossfire. Having no family left I let them change me."

"What about you Emily?"

"Emily was the next addition to our family. She had already been changed when we found her. She had been changed by her abusive boyfriend."

"I was confused, as girls usually are with abusive boyfriends. When I finally decided to break up with him he tried to kill me. Luckily Ulrich was nearby. So I joined them. After that we met Theo, he was an orphan on the streets. He dying from sickness so Ulrich changed him to."

"After that the rest of us met Ulrich's sensei." Theo said, "In all honesty the guy's completely awesome."

"Then we moved back to Canada, where we met Franz."

"I was shocked to find a pack of teenage werewolves in my early thirty's no doubt. But I had just lost my family and I figured that they needed a guardian so they could be part of society, so I took them in."

"Without becoming a Werewolf?" Sam asked.

"I have no desire to be immortal. I plan to see my wife and daughter again someday."

"Tell me," Sam said, "What happened to Tamiya?"

"I'm sorry Sam." Odd said, "Tamiya… she's a vampire now."

"Speaking of which." Aelita pulled a packet of blood out of her purse, "You better drink this."

Tamiya understood and sucked it dry.

"Sam," Ulrich said, "It's too early to ask you this, but you'll need time to consider. If you want, you and Tamiya re welcome to join our family."

"And me?" Yumi asked.

"If you want." Ulrich said as he and his family left.
