Chapter 13

At the mention of her older daughter's name, Destiny turned away from the window. She looked over and saw Jewel. Jewel was having a vision, and it was a bad one. At the same time, Kallie heard Jewel's name mentioned. Kallie went over and wrapped her arms around Jewel.

"Mom, the waves. What do we do?" Kallie asked Destiny.

"My gosh. Kallie, calm her down. We have to calm her down, that's all we can do." Destiny said; shocked, scared and concerned.

"I'm trying, but isn't there anything we can do? The waves, her…can we help…"

Just before Kallie could finish that sentence Jewel pulled through. The waves automatically calmed down and Jewel relaxed. After a couple of minutes, Jean gave Jewel a glass of water. Kallie was hugging her. Destiny sat beside Andy to reassure him everything was fine. Sean went to go get Jade from the greenhouse.

"Mom, tell him. He's worried. He'll take it well, and we don't have much more time. Everyone needs to stay in the house, someone's in danger, but I don't know who or how." Jewel said to Destiny.

Jade and Sean walked in and sat on the floor next to Jean.

"Are you guys sure?" Destiny asked everyone.

"Of course. We know what he means to you, and he deserves to know." Jean said.

"Know what exactly, Destiny?" Andy asked.

Destiny sighed and blew out a breath. Then turned to him. It seemed impossible to Destiny, but she was actually in love with Andy. She had fallen for him.

"Andy, remember that I really do care about you okay?" she said.

"Ok, now what's up?" he asked.

"Andy…ummm…I don't know how to say this any other way so I'm just going to come out with it. I'm a vampire with physic abilities and my children are non-human and also have physic abilities. Well except Kallie. She's half human and has physic abilities. We have physic abilities just like you."

Destiny waited for his reaction and held her breath, she even crossed her fingers and toes.

"That's it?" he asked.

"Yes, that's it" she answered.

"Thank god. I mean I can live with that, its not that big of a deal." He seemed as relieved as she felt.

"So you're not mad or anything?" she asked, this time she looked worried.

"Mad? No way. How can I be mad at you for who you are? I don't want to scare you, but Destiny I love you and nothing can change that." He said and hugged her.

"That's so relieving."

"Although I do have a lot of questions"

"I can image that you would. Ask away, my children and I will answer as best as we can."

"Well, since you're a vampire, can you clear the myths up for me?"

"Well, she can go out in sunlight. It doesn't do anything to her. She can have kids; obvious she has five. Oh, and vampires can and cant eat." Kallie answered.

"What do you mean can and cant?" He asked her.

"Well Sean is a vampire too. Since he is still young, he can eat human food. My mom cant because she's an adult."

"But in the restaurant, she ate. I don't understand."

"Well you see, once a vampire turns sixteen years old, they can no longer eat human food until they meet their lifemate. A lifemate is a paranormal beings wife/husband; we just don't have weddings, we can if we want to though. Although we do get rings, and this is true love we're talking here, none of this puppy dog love crap."

"Okay. So since I'm with her. That makes me her lifemate and it helps her. Well as long as it helps her."

" It benefits you too, Andy. You have been reawakened. You're feeling emotions you haven't felt in a long, and you're already acting like a father figure to us." Jean said.

"Okay. So you said you were different than your mom and your physic abilities what are they?"

"I'm a nymph. I can do absolutely anything with water. I heal and I can see visions. " Jewel said stepping forward.

"Show me?"

"Of course."

With that, Jewel lead Andy to the window and told him to watch the waves. Andy watched the calm waves, before Andy could ask, Jewel moved one finger and a tidal wave formed and crashed calmly on the sand. She turned toward Andy and smiled. She walked away from the window and he followed.

"You already witnessed a vision. The good news is they aren't all like that. Just the really bad ones. Now who has a cut." Jewel turned just as Jade walked up to her and held her hand out. Andy watched as Jewel wiped her hand over the cut. When her hand moved the cut was clean, Jewel then put the tip of one of her fingers on the corner of the cut. The cut slowly healed, right in front of Andy's eyes. After the cut was healed, Jade gave Jewel a kiss on the cheek and sat down again. "Jade, you really need to be more careful with your plants." Jewel scolded Jade.

"I'm half demon and half human. I can do anything with air, I can read and communicate telepathetically and I am telekinetic." Kallie said. She looked out the window. The house was surrounded by a tornado. A tree up-rooted and Jade winced. Kallie looked apologizingly at her sister, and the wind died down. A cup full of coffee floated into the room to Andy. "You looked like you could use some." She smiled at him.

"I'm a nature Fairy. I can control and create nature. I can also control the weather." Jade announced. Without moving out of her chair she simply waved her hand and it started to pour rain. She lifted her arms and the fallen tree, replanted it-self. With another wave of her hand it stopped raining.

"I'm an empath. I can do anything with fire." Jean said.

"What is an empath?" Andy asked

"It's someone that can feel and manipulate emotions. In my case, I'm an empathic Muse" Jean answered him.

Jean looked at Kallie and Jewel, who nodded. Then the stove caught on fire. Andy looked at it, like it was a fascinating recipe being created in front of his very eyes. Jewel sent a water bubble that popped right above it, putting the fire out. Kallie waved her hand and the window opened and the wind blew in and took the smoke away, when the smoke was clear, Kallie snapped and the window shut.

Sean proudly said, "I'm a vampire. I can do anything with spirits and I can talk to animals." Sean whistled and a pidgin flew in and landed on Sean's shoulder. Sean looked and Destiny.

"No, Sean. The last thing we need right now is a bird in the house." She then turned her attention back to Andy. All the kids got up and went into the kitchen for a snack, since it was six o'clock in the morning. "I'm a vampire and you already know that. I can control the earth like Jade and I can freeze things."

"Okay. I can live with these things, but I'm curious what did they mean by anything?" Andy asked Destiny.

"They meant just that. If it has to do with any type of liquid. Jewel can do anything with it. She can do blood transfuses with out needles, keep the blood flowing because of her power to heal. She can raise the tides to push an animal back into the ocean and so worth. However not only can she do good things, she can do horrible things. Such as she can dehydrate someone, slowly and painfully. She can drown them. And she can drown someone from the inside out, using the person's body water. She can also give them a heart attack, cut all flows of blood to the brain or anything to create the failure of a body part. Kallie can do anything will air. She can create tornados, with Jewel's help she can make hurricanes.. She can also suffocate people and even fires. She can pull the air out of people's lungs just with a thought. She can do a lot. Jean can start a fire, put a fire out. She can raise someone's temperature or she can lower it. Sean can raise the dead, detach the spirit from the body. He can return the spirit to its body. Anything. Jade can do what ever she desires with the weather. The earth though is meant for good. But she can do terrible things like Earthquakes, with the help of Jewel, she can create tsunamis. "

"I see. Well I'm glad I stuck with you guys than."

"You only really have to worry about Jean, Jewel and Kallie. Kallie and Jewel have complete control over their abilities and they use it to their advantages. Jean doesn't have complete control over hers. She can start fires, but cant put them out yet. Sean doesn't know enough yet, and Jade uses the Earth for good."

"Okay. Curious, yet again; but why is it all your girl children are anything but vampires?"

"Well there's this legend in our family that states, 'There will be one of every magically form in a child. As long as the child is a Matthew there will be one of each for each child. When one has claimed a mate, the next in line shall follow; until each child has been mated and the next generation begins. ' So due to this little legend, I've got Jewel who represents every nymph. Kallie who represents humans and demons. Jade that represents fairies. Jean is my muse, and Sean is my vampire. The nice thing about this legend is that no matter what…I'll have grandchildren…oh. Wow. Jewel is next. That's what the other part of the legend meant. When the oldest single Matthew claimed a mate, then the next in line will follow pursuit, and so forth until each is mated. I can't wait to see this."

"Oh, I see. Everything makes a lot more sense now."

Before Destiny could even make a comment, there was a crash that lead Destiny and Andy running towards the kitchen. She couldn't believe the argument she was hearing when she and Andy stood in the door way.

"Why did you do that!" Kallie screamed

"You killed my tree!" Jade shouted back.

"NO! It's been up rooted, not killed." Jewel snapped.

"But now Jade has to re-grow it!" Jean countered angrily.

"Guys, come on. Calm down. Jean, you're gonna start a fire. Jewel, you're going to cause a flood. Kallie, you're starting a tornado and Jade, the ground is shaking. Guys…STOP! " Sean pleaded with his sisters.

Next thing Destiny knew, the stove was on fire, there entire kitchen was flooded and waves were starting to rise angrily and started toward Jean and Sean. Whirl pools and tornados started to attack Jade. Tree branches and vines started to attack the window. Andy and Destiny were hit with a wave. That pushed Destiny's patience.

Destiny stepped forward and threw her hands in the air, and screamed "TIME OUT!"

Jewel's wave was frozen above Jean and Sean's heads. Kallie's tornados were frozen. Jean's flames frozen in place, and Kallie and Jewel's whirl pool was frozen with an upside down Jade. All the children looked at her.

"Ok. Jewel, put that fire out. Kallie, put Jade down. Jean and Sean, get out from under that wave. Jade, put the vines and tree branches back. My god, Children act your ages please. Jade, Kallie did not mean to uproot the tree. Kallie, you can just buy your cd again; if not a better version. Sean, thank you for trying to break it up. Jean apologize for your behavior. Jewel apologize for yours as well, and I want you to clean up all this water, now!"

Dripping wet, Andy picked Destiny up and sat her on the counter and leaned one hip against it. The children together cleaned the mess they made together. They said their apologies, and Jewel evaporated every water drop out of the room, clothes, and everyone's hair. Jean raised the temperature in the room so no one was cold. Destiny and Andy then shooed all the children into the living room and decided to make a dessert. Everything seemed nice, calm, and peaceful. Until Jewel ran into the room, nearly running right into Destiny.

"What's wrong?" Destiny asked

"Scott. Mom, they need help." Jewel cried out.

"Okay. Jewel, breathe; Andy and I will go over and we'll bring them over here. You're in charge until we get back. " Destiny said and walked out the door with Andy close on her steps.
