"Ah, welcome my boys, Welcome." Arianna heard Max's voice and she saw David roll his eyes as they stepped through the door of the large home on the cost. She saw Lucy hug each of the boys who tensed and groaned obviously not liking that much.

"And this must be my new daughter, Arianna right?" Max ask and she nodded and cringed at the word daughter. Being someone's daughter hadn't worked out well for her last time but she didn't say anything.

Sensing her thoughts David put his arm around her shoulders so Max couldn't hug her and set Marko and order to do the same on the other side of her. Paul and Dwayne flank them from behind and Arianna knew they were trying to protect her and make her feel safe. Letting her know that she was more important to them and wouldn't let their family upset her and she sent them all a wave of gratitude for that.

Max seeing how protective his boys were of their girl he got the message and pulled Lucy into his side as he led them into the sitting room where everyone else was.

Arianna recognized Laddie who was in the middle of some sort of battle on a video game with another young boy. Another couple was sitting on the couch watching them and talking to themselves quietly.

When Arianna and the boys entered everyone turned to greet them. Start and Michael noted how possessive they were of the girl and knew who she was to them.

"Arianna you already met Laddie. These are Lucy's son's Sam and Michael and Michael's girlfriend Star." Max introduced and Arianna nodded and waved, she was so freaking nervous and she didn't even really know why.

"Arianna." Laddie called out as she sat on the couch between David and Marko with Paul and Dwayne sitting at the ends.

"Hey bud, how's it going?" she ask him and he rattled on about the game they were playing. Arianna listened to him and chuckled at how cute he was.

"We wanted to talk to you about Laddie, David." Max said and everyone turned to look at him.

"What about Laddie?" David ask with narrowed eyes.

"Laddie is getting old enough that he needs to start schooling some. Star and Lucy have agreed to home school both Sam and Laddie until they can be turned. Laddie expressed interest in wanting to learn so we want to see if you would mind if he spent the week days with us and came back to the cave on the weekends, or course anytime Laddie decided he wanted to go to the cave on others days would be fine too." Max said and David looked at Laddie who nodded.

"That's fine if that's what Laddie wants but he still apart of our group not yours. If we decide we want him to come see us or if he wants to come back I don't want any arguments from anyone." David said shooting Star a look. She just nodded and looked away.

"Agreed of course, it's only so he can get some education and that's hard to do if he's always at the cave." Max said and David agreed, it would be easier for them to take care of a newborn Arianna if it was just the 5 of them, especially when she's first turned, she could be dangerous around Laddie.

"So wait. Star's going to teach him?" Paul ask snickering and Star shot him a look but Paul ignored her and just kept on laughing. Arianna watched this with interest. She knew who Star was. David and the boys had kept nothing from her. She knew Max wanted the boys to have a female around and brought Star in for them and to take care of Laddie.

David told her at first they were attracted to her because she was very pretty until she opened her ungrateful mouth and then they couldn't stand her. They were glad to be rid of her when she met Michael. It took her over a year to become a full Vampire after a failed attempt to kill the boys by the teenage vampire hunters last year and now she just drinks mostly donate blood. Thinking herself too good to feed.

Arianna knew she would never be best friends with a women like Star. To self centered like her mother was. Lucy on the other hand seemed really nice so she probably wouldn't mind her too much. She doubted the boys would leave her alone with the others male in the family so she didn't have to worry about that.

Once Arianna finally relaxed some she ended up moving to the floor to sit with the younger boys and watched them play, giving Laddie tips on how to beat Sam. She noticed Lucy had gone off to the rocking chair to read a book and Max and the boys had left the room to go get some wine mixed with blood for everyone.

"So you're the new girl, huh?" she heard Star ask, ignoring Michael who told her to mind her business.

"Yep." Arianna told her and Star just stared at her.

"Did they force you to drink the blood too?" Star ask with obvious anger at her situation.

"Nope, I drank it by accident actually but I'm happy with my decision." She told Star who looked surprised.

"Why, you know staying with them will mean you'll have to kill right?" Star ask and Arianna nodded.

"Yep, I'm fine with that. I don't particularity like people anyways. So no big deal to me." Arianna said with a shrug.

"And you're fine with being there sex slave, because that's what they're going to want." Star ask and Arianna snapped her head to look at her.

"Star that's enough." Lucy told her from across the room and Star nodded sitting back in her seat and cringing when she saw the four boys come into the room having heard what she said. She still feared them.

"No Lucy its fine. Actually Star I'm looking forward to it. Maybe you should get Michael to service you better, then maybe you wouldn't be such a bitch." Arianna said with a smirk before turning back to the boys again and ignoring the flabbergasted look on the stuck up bitches face.

"Ha. She told you." Paul laughed out and Arianna turned and gave the boys a wink. She wouldn't let this chick upset her or make her doubt her choice and David was glad and very impressed with how there girl handled that.

"Well I think that's our cue to leave. Laddie we will see you soon little dude." David told him and he nodded, giving Arianna a hug as she stood. Arianna said good bye to everyone even Star as she walked over towards the boys.

"We love you so much right now." Marko told her kissing her cheek and she laughed, rolling her eyes.

"Let's go get that Tat you wanted." David told her as they mounting the bikes outside and she nodded, excited as they rode to the boardwalk.
