Mama watched Aloe chase Kumajirou around for the little yellow chick perched on his head idly. Her left cat ear flicked lazily as she lounged out in the sun-dappled shade. It had been about two weeks wince Ivan had arrived with the little blonde. She oddly enjoyed the young vampire's company. She turned her head towards Ivan as he walked out, calling Matthew's name.
"Matthew, this is my older sister, Katyusha. She came back to drop my scarf off, and to say hi." She waved shyly, brushing her platinum blonde hair from her blue eyes.
"Hallo... I'm his older sister." She said in a quiet voice, smiling weakly. Ivan smiled to himself as Matthew wandered up and looked up at the girl.
"I'm Matthew, and this is Kumajirou!" The little blonde held up the white bear cub up and smiled cheerfully. The taller girl nodded slightly, and looked back into the house. "Is something wrong? Did Matthew do something wrong?" He had a slight pout to his face.
"E-Eh? N-No! You didn't! Ivan? Can I talk to you inside...?" He turned slightly and followed his sister into the house. Katyusha closed the door behind her. "What is he? He is not a human, da? Don't lie to me, Ivan."
Her little brother sighed. "He's a child vampire. But he's still growing. You told me once that child vampires stop growing when they turn 16. He's six. He's got a twin the same age, and his twin is a loup-garou."
"A vampire and a loup-garou! Where is his twin?"
"I was unable to find him when we went back to his house.
"Ivan! Werewolves always return to the scene of the attack! And if this little boy has been marked by one, then they will always find him. If you did not find his twin, then the barghest's most likely have him. You are in over your head."
"Then stay here, big sister." His sister's eyes closed.
"...Fine, I will stay... Natalia's gone. She got attacked by some werewolves, not loup-garou, actual werewolves. They... They took her body. She wasn't moving. Her dress was torn. I-I think... they're going to use her. She's only nineteen, Vanya! Nineteen!"
Ivan looked back out at the little blonde vampire, and sighed. "We will keep the boy safe until any threat to him or us has passed, da?"His sister's eyes flashed but she nodded. The Russian boy walked back outside and seated himself on the steps leading to the grassy backyard thinking.
"If Natalia was taken under my sister's watch, then the demons, werewolves, loup-garou, and shadow spirits are going to start a war with the angels, vampires, shapeshifters, and light spirits. Light vs. Darkness. This is not going to be easy. Non-human beings will be attacked depending on what they are. No one will be safe." He thought to his sister, sighing.
"And the other non-human's will chose a side. That wolf-girl that Matthieu befriended with most likely side with the shapeshifters, but her mother... She is corrupt inside. The two cat shapeshifters go their own way, but keep an eye out, Vanya."
Ivan sighed at his sister's reply. Of course.
Now the child he was guardian of was to be his main priority.
