~Roxanne~

"If you think about it, it makes sense. You're like the anti-Zoey," Damien said as we drove to meet everyone in the tunnels. I had a huge problem and I needed to get some help.

"How am I the anti-Zoey?" I asked looking over to him for a moment.

"Well your birthday is at the beginning of summer, and her birthday is at the beginning of winter. You were marked by the Christian God and she was marked by the vampire goddess. You're personalities are at different ends of the spectrum"-

"Damien, I'm not going to say your wrong but the last key was Stevie Rae and she kidda got shot with an arrow. I hope you can understand why I'm looking for another answer," I sighed as we pulled into the lot. "Great we're the last ones," I sighed.

"I'm sure we didn't miss anything important," Damien said as we walked to the depot building.

"You are really late," Erik said leaning against the wall. He had the most delicious smile on his face and I just had to have his lips.

"Are you guys ever not making out?" Stark asked coming behind us with Big Mike and Ant. They were carrying boxes of pizza and trays of wings. "A little help?" He asked Erik who sighed and took some stuff from Ant.

"I'll take that I said to Stark."

Stark stuck his tongue out at Erik and he rolled his eyes. I love it when Erik is irritated. I walked pass him and we all went to the kitchen. "Hey everyone," I said sitting the pizza down.

Everyone muttered greetings and we all grabbed something to eat. That was when all hell broke loss. My dad called me from the house I had no idea he was home already. He was frantic and I couldn't make out what he was saying at first. "Daddy, calm down what's going on?" I asked taking my conversation down the hall.

I could feel his panic and I knew something had to be seriously wrong. "She's gone," I didn't know what he meant by that. Had his tramp of a wife left him, or did she get hurt.

"What happen to Lucy?" I asked not really interest.

"Isis she's not here," my dad said crying.

"Daddy this isn't funny don't say things like that," I said shaking my head. I felt my chest tighten and a breath get caught in my chest before I felt the tears. "Daddy please tell me she's okay," I begged him.

"Sweetie I'm so sorry, we're going to find her I promise," my dad said.

"I'm coming home," I said hanging up the phone and looking up to see Erik.

"What happened?" he asked looking down at me. I had no idea how long he had been standing there and how much he heard.

"I have to go home," I hiccupped.

"I'll drive okay," he said taking me into his arms.

"No not now, I can't take you home now. I'll call you," I said pushing him away.

"Look Roxanne I'm not going to just let you leave like this. You're clearly upset and I'm not going to let you go until you tell me what's going on," he yelled at me.

"My sister is missing and my dad is going crazy. I have to help them find her. I'll call you," I said leaving him shocked and feeling like and ass for yelling at me.

XOXOXOX

I drove to the clearing in the woods behind the house. The police were incompetent and of no help at all. The twins were driving around town looking for her and my dad and Lucy were at the house. Apparently, when Lucy took her to the park she was going up the slide when a woman came and asked her a bunch of questions. Knowing Lucy she probably was talking to the woman for hours before she realized my daughter was missing. The woman was a petite blonde so that semi ruled out Neferet in my mind.

There had to be a way to find Isis with my new found powers. I could connect to people's spirits so why wouldn't I be able to find my daughter. I closed my eyes and tried to call to her. I felt numb. I needed to calm down because I was being far too emotional. The last thing my little girl needed was for me to freak out and never find her. I looked down and saw that my hands were shaking and I felt the tears welling in my eyes. "Roxanne she needs you to be strong stop freaking out, and be strong," I ordered myself.

I closed my eyes again and took a deep cleansing breath. "Please God let her be okay. And Nyx please help me use spirit to find her." I swallowed hard and called on spirit. "Please spirit, take me to Isis."

When I opened my eyes I was in the middle of a wheat field and I heard a deep voice before me. "There's no need to be afraid child, you'll soon learn to embrace the darkness surrounding you," it seemed to be cooing. I heard a small sniffle and I knew it was Isis. Without thinking about it I ran to her voice. I needed to hold her and let her know that everything was going to be alright. When I finally saw were she was a great white bull stood next to her. It had black tentacles wrapped around her and huge talons drenched with blood. On the ground was the body of a small blonde woman and she had a huge hole through her back.

"My look at what we have here," he said coming to me. The bull's black eyes never left mine. "You smell of light gold one."

"Give me my baby," I yelled.

A puff of air rushed from the bull's snout. His tentacle came down and wrapped around my waist. "What is it you think you can do to stop me?" he yelled as he squeezed my waist. I could see Isis crying even though I couldn't hear because of the ringing in my ears. I felt blood come from my nose and soon I was coughing up blood. He was right there was nothing I could go.

The air stirred around me. It was spirit telling me not to give up. I focused light into a sword and used it to cut at the tentacle. The bull merely dropped me and that was all I needed. I took off running towards Isis and I picked her up and kept going. As I ran I felt something hit me in the back.

My back burned and I felt as though I was going to drop Isis. I put her down and turned her in the direction of town. "Sweetie please run that way," her baby blue eyes just looked up at me. "Spirit, please take her some place safe."

The next time I felt the talon ripe into my back I hit the ground. Soon the tentacles were sucking blood from me and I felt cold and empty. The last thing I saw before everything went black was Erik with Darius's sword.

~Erik~

Erik was pacing the floor like he had been doing since Roxanne had left. She was hurting and there was nothing he could do to comfort her. "You should talk to her and make sure she's okay," Shuanee said to Zoey.

"Yeah, cause Erik's freaking out." He knew everyone was merely trying to be helpful, but he was stand right in front of them and he was a vampire so of course he could hear their whispers.

"I thought we were going to have fun for once," Stark mumbled. Zoey elbowed him. "Look watching Erik pace isn't interesting to me I'm going to watch TV with the other red fledglings."

"You guys don't have to stay," Erik said when he felt that feeling he got when Roxanne passed out in the parking lot. Something was extremely wrong and he had to get to her fast. "Darius, do you have a weapon nearby?" Erik asked as he grabbed his keys and jacket.

"Just my sword what's wrong?" he asked.

"I don't know, but I need it," he said.

Erik drove a bit outside of town when he saw lighting flashes coming from the middle of a field. He heard a piercing scream and knew it had to be Roxanne. Erik charged through the field of wheat to her voice. When he reached and opening he saw her a few yards out being chased by the white bull. She was holding a little girl and Erik assumed it was her little sister. The bull attacked Roxanne from behind and she fell to the ground. Erik charged at him with the sword.

The bull was greedily drinking form Roxanne so he didn't notice Erik until he plunged the sword into his side. The bull cried out furiously in pain. Erik scooped Roxanne up into his arms and carried her off into the field. "Isis," Roxanne mumbled. "Save her."

Erik looked franticly for the little girl until he heard the bull. He decided to take Roxanne to his car and then come find Isis. When Erik emerged from the field he wasn't too far from his car and standing in the middle of the road was the little girl. Erik ran vampire speed to her and pulled her to the car. He led Roxanne down in the front seat then he picked the little girl up. She was still upset and tears still fell down her rosy cheeks. She had milky brown skin a little litter than Roxanne's and dark red hair. On her forehead was a blue crescent moon and following from it gold stars. Erik looked into her eyes and realized they were the same blue as his… Erik quickly strapped her into the backseat and speed off.

XOXOXOX

Erik called Clara convinced Roxanne wasn't being completely honest with him. Roxanne was quickly heeling from her wounds and Isis was asleep in the bed next to her. Erik looked over at the pair in his bed. Isis had Roxy's red hair and her chucky cheeks. "Hey bro whatsup?" Clara asked.

"Tell me the truth," Erik ordered.

"…Truth…Truth about what?"

"Isis," he said. The line fell silent. For a moment Erik thought the line went dead. "Clara."

"Talk to Roxanne," she simply said.

"Why didn't you say anything about this? I have a kid and neither of you thought this was something I should know," Erik wasn't really mad at Clara or Roxanne, but he was hurt and confused. How was this possible? Vampires couldn't have kids.

"I'm so sorry Ricky, but she… She lost her sister then she lost you, and her parents got into a thing about it. Things have been complicated."

Roxanne started to wake so Erik got up. "I'll call you later."

"I'm sorry Rick I love you."

"Love you too."

"Isis," Roxanne panted as she shot up in bed. She looked over and saw the slumbering toddler and her mind was at ease even though her heart was still racing. She noticed that she was in Erik's bed and looked up to see him eyeing her. Roxanne vaguely remembered what happened. "The bull?" she asked.

"He's somewhere out there," Roxanne noted to huskiness to his voice. Had Erik been crying?

"Are you okay?" she asked getting out of bed. Her back burned like hell.

"Drink this," he ordered giving her a glass of O negative.

Roxanne took two big gulps and asked her question again. "Are you okay?" Erik looked over at Isis and walked out of the room. She followed him. "What's going on?"

"Is she mine?" Erik's question made Roxanne's stomach knot. Was it really that obvious? Maybe fathers had paternal instants that told them stuff like that. "Is she mine?" Erik yelled again, because she seemed to not have heard him the first time.

"Er-I"-

"Yes or no!" he yelled.

"Erik I know that this"-

"Tell me she's mine. Tell me we had a baby," he demanded with tears in his eye. All his left Erik was sure he didn't want a family, but now that he had a kid, with the girl of his dreams all he wanted was to go back in time and be there for all the moments he missed.

"I should have told you an"-

"You're damn right you should have told me. You had a baby, my baby! Why would you keep her from me," Erik's anger came out in waves each crushing over Roxanne and drowning her in regret and pain.

"I loved you more than anything"-

"I don't believe that. You don't lie to people you love. You were just going to let me think she was your sister. You really didn't think I'd noticed she looked just like you with my eyes. You really think I'm that dumb?" Erik yelled.

"I was going to tell you at my father's dinner. I was going to stop lying to both of you. I want us to be a family. I want to spend my life with you Erik. I do love you, so much it hurts. Please don't hate me," Erik didn't want her to think he hated her, but he could be in the same room as her. He needed to calm down before he said, or did something he wouldn't be able to take back.
