I'd like to dedicate this chapter to my dear daddy, Jeffrey Sell. Before he and my mom got together...well its a long story haha. But without him...I wouldn't be able to write like I do today or be who I am at all. I love you, happy father's day.

The next day came quickly. Time passed rapidly due to the interest in Uri. Samantha, the beloved servant, woke the twins up for breakfast. The routine was the same: Damion silently rolling out of bed and Jasper grumbling and complaining that they weren't kids anymore and could wake up when they wanted. By now Samantha was used to it and simply ignored it.

It didn't take long for them to get showered and changed. They walked into the dining room to see their parents sitting at the head of the table and Uri was at the other end, as far as possible from them. Damion and Jasper sat down in the middle and watched the servants place large glasses with a thick red liquid inside of it. Uri watched them drink it for a while. He was resting his cheek in his palm, a very bored expression on his face.

"Aren't vampires supposed to sleep during the day?" he asked.

"Aren't dragons supposed to be…I don't know, big and scaly and ugly?" Jasper sneered. Uri smiled sadistically and looked at his hand, a small ball of black fire forming. He threw it at Jasper, hitting him in the chest and leaving a bad burn. Jasper didn't even flinch, which was understandable; he had nothing to worry about. The burn was visibly getting smaller until it was fully healed within seconds.

"Last time I checked, I was hot," Uri smirked, looking Jasper straight in the eyes.

"I can tell they are going to be best friends," Damion muttered to himself sarcastically, finishing off his drink. Draven and Alexandria watched the scene with frowns.

After a moment Draven sighed, "To answer your question, Uri: No. There are different types of vampires, and we are not that type. We are Purebloods. Technically we don't need to sleep at all, we just chose to."

"Why?" without meaning to, Uri's voice sounded slightly disrespectful.

"Because we try to give Damion and Jasper as normal a life as possible," he explained. Uri nodded.

"So, Uri, are you bringing an escort to the ball tomorrow night?" Alexandria asked, trying to make conversation and ease the tension a little bit. Uri shook his head.

"Nope; there's no one I want to bring, and I figured that there would be enough people there to entertain me," he said with a smirk, though he had every intention of bringing someone. Alexandria nodded, although she found his reply quite strange. She smiled at her sons, "Boys, you should make a public appearance. It's very important to have a positive image for your subjects."

Jasper groaned with displeasure, making Draven look crossly at him. "Go. Take Uri with you. Be back before sunrise." Jasper was silent as he and Damion stood up. The only people that Jasper wouldn't disrespect were his parents.

"Do I have to go?" Uri grumbled.

"Yes, you do," Draven said with a small chuckle. Uri sighed and then stood up and the three boys left to go into town.

"Look son, those are the princes. Wave," said a woman with long brown hair in a dirty red dress to a young toddler boy. The little boy eagerly waved to the passing boys, who waved back. Damion looked at Uri.

"So what's with you and Ambrose? He seems….strict," he asked. Uri nodded.

"He's my older brother and the leader in our family. We have to listen to him."

"Why? Just because he's your older brother and leader doesn't mean you have to listen to him…"

"Our way of life is different than yours," he stated simply.

Although the boys didn't exactly get along, they had a bit of fun together walking around and looking through stores and random other attractions. Multiple times Jasper broke out in a fight with someone. Usually it was only Damion and Uri because they did a pretty good job of holding him back against the humans.

"Don't touch me, you filthy light minion!" Jasper shouted angrily at his twin. Damion glared at Jasper.

"Light minion? Shut your mouth, scum. At least I have manners and people like me," Damion spoke bitterly, his voice on the verge of a shout. He, Uri, and Jasper were in an empty part of town and it was late, so no one was around. The fight had gotten started because of a comment by Jasper that had a domino effect.

"It's your fault people don't like me!"

"Don't pin that on me! It's your own damn fault that you are a cruel, sadistic asshole," Damion growled. Jasper glared and then lunged at Damion. The two broke out into a fight, both out for blood. Uri sat back and watched the whole thing with a very amused expression. It had been a while since he got entertainment like this, and he intended to enjoy it.

After about a half hour, both boys had bad wounds all over their bodies. Uri finally decided to break them up; not because he didn't want to see them hurt, but because he didn't want Draven angry at him.

Due to the fact that Damion and Jasper were Light and Darkness, total opposites, their wounds didn't heal. In fact, one of the only ways to wound them badly was to use the other.

After much convincing from Uri, they decided to make their way home.
