Kendrix's Birthday Suprise
The days following the incident in town were very lonely for Kendrix. Since the incident, Sanguinex has kept her locked in the house and she locked herself in her room. Kendrix felt alone, and scared. She did not blame Sanguinex for keeping her in the house anymore near rape scarred her. She was in her room lying in bed trying to keep out the images of the incident and fighting back tears when she heard a knock on her door.
"Who is it" she asked wiping away some remaining tears.
"Its Cenotaph, may I come in" Cenotaph replied.
"Yes, it's open." Kendrix answered and the door opened revealing the mummy blader.
"You know, it's okay for you to come downstairs. You don't have to stay cooped up in your room Kendrix." Cenotaph said sitting next to her laying down figure.
"…..hmmm, I think….I now understand why Sanguinex never used to let me go outside." Kendrix replied lost in thought but also catching Cenotaphs attention.
"Do share, whats your theory" he asked curious.
"It's because…..i'm weak, and not strong enough to handle myself as well as I thought I could." Kendrix answered taking Cenpotaph by surprise.
"No….I don't think that's it girly. But hey changing the subject, I came to see what you birthday dinner tomorrow" he said causing her to smile a little.
"Well, how about your awesome Chili and garlic bread" She said sitting up. Cenotaph shook his head with a smile.
"You and that chili, but sure, I think I can handle that" he said ruffling her hair. Kendrix smiled and Cenotaph left to go get dinner for tonight ready.
"How is she" the vampire blader asked.
"She's fine, I think very conflicted and unsure of herself at the moment maybe but alright. She brightened up a bit when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday dinner tomorrow and I can imagine you can guess what she said." Cenptaph replied.
"Chili with garlic bread" All four darkbladers said at the same time.
"Exactly" Cenotaph sighed.
"Ill go check on her myself as well." Sanguinex said and left the kitchen.
"The day of her 18th birthday has finally arrived. But I wonder, is she ready to make the official transformation" he thought as he stopped in front of her room and knocked on the door.
"Come in" Kendrix said curious as to who it could be this time.
"You seem distracted Kendrix, what's on your mind?" Sanguinex asked her.
"It's nothing sire, really" Kendrix replied.
"You're a horrible liar child, what is it" Sanguinex asked again.
Kendrix sighed and then answered him. "It doesn't matter anymore master. I already know that your answer will be no." she replied. She wanted to try to go outside again, even though she was a little scared that something might happen again.
"If you were thinking of asking to go back outside, then yes my answer is no" Sanguinex replied with warning in his voice that said the topic was over.
"Like I said, it doesn't matter anymore" Kendrix said and turned away from him and laying back down on her bed with a sigh.
"You will understand one day child. You remember what happened the other day when I did let you go outside. It's a very unforgiving and dangerous world out there my dear. So you see my dear, it is not that I don't trust you, it is that I don't trust the world" Sanguinex replied.
"Yes, I think I understand sire" Kendrix replied still not looking at him. "Still, its not fair, I know it's a harsh world out there but how the hell am I supposed to learn how to become strong if im locked up in a house all day." Kendrix yelled suddenly at the vampire.
"Watch your tone with me girl" Sanguinex warned back" Kendrix started to get mad now.
"No, I won't watch my tone, I hate being locked up in here" Kendrix yelled eyes beginning to flash a dangerouse red Sanguinex knew all too well as they matched his own when mad. But now he was now full of rage.
"The answer is no Kendrix, your never leaving this house and that is final" He said with venom dripping from his words and his hand raised to slap her. Kendrix stepped back a step with slight fear in her eyes and it was then that Sanguinex caught himself and stormed out of her room locking her in. Kendrix threw herself on her bed and the tears fell freely from her eyes.

~Next Day
"Come on Kendrix, you cant stay couped up in your room all day." Barked the werewolf.
"Yes I can Lupinex, now leave me alone." Kendrix snarled back.
"What the hell woman, you on PMS or something" Lupinex asked with a smirk clearly evident by his tone. Kendrix opened the door and was about to give him a right hook when he caught hcker hand and threw her over his shoulder.
"Put me down you bastard" She yelled and beat her fits on his back making him smirk even more.
"Calm down princess, I think your forgetting that today is a special day for you." He said with a sigh. Kendrix had to think for a moment and then light up like the fourth of July.
"I can't believe I almost forgot my birthday." She said "put me down mutt, I smell Chili" She cheered loudly as Lupinex indeed put her down this time sighing at her latter comment. Kendrix ran off to the kitchen and sure enough there was chili and garlic bread waiting to greet her nostrils.
"Happy Birthday" All four Darkbladers said. Kendrix smiled and hugged each one except Sanguinex who she stuck her tounge out at. He mearly shook his head in amusment.
"Can we dig in now" Kendrix asked licking her lips ready to start eating her favorite meal of all time.
"Easy woman, its not done just yet another five minutes and then yes we can eat" Cenotaph said making her sit down at the table.
"First, we each have a little something for you." Zomb said handing her a neatly wrapped package with a ribbon on top.
"I'm 18, are presents really necessary" Kendrix asked politely accepting the gift he handed her.
"18 is a very important mark in life child, and you're never too old for presents" Sanguinex said matter of factly. Kendrix nodded in understanding even though she was still a little upset with him for the night before argument.
"Wow, its beautiful Zomb, Thank you very much: Kendrix said opening the present he gave her to reveal an emerald green arm braclet.
"Alright, my turn" Cenotaph said handing her a White wrapped package.
"The brothers' grim classics. Very cool" Kendrix said
"Naturally" Cenotaph said casually.
"My turn" Lupinex said pulling out a blue present with small holes on top of the box.
"Hmmmm, let's see, woa Lupinex you outdid yourself, shes beautiful" kendrix said with wide eyes. In the box was a small pure white Kitten with the bluest eyes Kendrix had ever seen. Lupinex just grinned.
"Ohhhhh ex can I keep her please" Kendrix asked with hopful eyes.
"I suppose, I can't really say no when it was a gift." He said giving Lupinex a small glare.
"Ill name her….Isis." Kendrix said smiling at the kitten and picking her up gently. The kitten mewed softly and purred liking the sound of her new name.
"Sanguinex, what are you going to do about…tonight. Do you think she is ready?" Lupinex asked the vampire blader in his mind.
"The plan is already in motion, she is more ready than we think" Sanguinex replied looking at the Chili and remembering the few traces of developing power in Kendrix he had witnessed. Lupinex nodded along with the other two darkbladers.
"My present will have to wait until tomorrow. It's something….unique." Sanguinex said patting Kendrix on her head and she smiled up at him.
"By the way…sorry for yelling at you yesterday" She said for only him to hear. He merely nodded and gave her a small smiled before heading up to his room.
"You're not going to eat with us tonight" Kendrix asked.
"I'll be back down in a moment" Sanguinex replied and Kendrix just shrugged her shoulders.
"Don't worry, he will be fine" Lupinex said watching his brother leave the kitchen.
"Who's ready for some Chili" Cenotaph asked setting it on the table.
"I am" Kendrix cheered
Cenotaph filled her bowl and slipped something in it.
"This is awesome Cenotaph" Kendrix said taking a bite.
She was about to take another bite when all the sudden she grabbed her head.
"Some…thing isn't….right. The whole room is spinning and I feel dizzy" she said standing up then fall to the ground with Lupinex catching her just in time. All three remaining dark bladers looked at each other and nodded.
"Stage one, toxin induced deep sleep" Smirked Lupinex as he carried Kendrix up to her room. He walked in and sanguinex was already there waiting for them.
"What now brother" Lupinex asked as Sanguinex took Kendrix from him carefully and laid her gently on her bed which had been made up with new red silk sheets and black velvet covers.
"Now….stage two" Sanguinex replied biting her wrist.
"Stage three…the final stage, we wait. 48 hours and her official transformation will be complete." He said already feeling her pulse drop. "The initial pain of the transformation will be excruciating, but it will not last long my dear." He added already seeing her start convulse in pain. "Get a cool cloth and a bowl of cool water. It is going to be a long two days." Sanguinex said to Lupinex who nodded and went to do as asked.
"Well, how did it go" Zomb asked.
"All according to plan." Lupinex answered.
"Hmmmmm. I wonder, will she still be hungry for chili when she wakes up" Cenotaph asked randomly.
"Shes, going through hell and all you can think of is if she will like your cooking" Zomb asked smacking him upside the head.
