It's been ten years since the day I first met them.

I have moved to the other side of the country.

I live in New Hampshire, I wanted to stay near the ocean.

I'm married to Isaac, and have been for four years.

We have a daughter. Her name is Kayla. She's four years old.

I sat at the table, looking through the mail. Something fell out of the newspaper when I pushed it aside. My name was scrawled across the envelope. I knew the handwriting as David's. I sighed folding the envelope and tucking it in my pocket, lest Isaac should see it. He still thought they were dead.

"Mommy?" Kayla asked coming up to the table.

"Yes sweetie?"

"Do you have a brother?" I blinked, confused by the question.

"No, why?"

"Because a man with green hair said he was your brother."

I froze "Have you told daddy?"

"No..."

"Well then let's keep it a secret, just between you and me okay?"

"Okay mommy." She nodded, grinning, her electric blue eyes sparkling. Her eyes had alwayst startled me. They had been that way since she was born, exactly the same color and shape as David's. Isaac noticed as well, though he never said anything. We always tried to ignore what had happened. She ran back out of the room, I smiled as she went.

But it disappeared quickly.

Things had been fine for ten years, despite the occasional letter, which I'd hide, and otherwise ignore.

I suppose your wondering how I'm still only half... I am not proud of how it has to be done. I've been stealing blood from the hospital for years now. It isn't hard. Like Eric told me. Humans are easy to manipulate.

I'm praying the letters are the only thing I'll ever hear of them. But I know it's not true. Considering Jesse just spoke to Kayla.

I felt furious suddenly, how dare he come anywhere near my daughter!

If any of them touched her, they would pay, I'd make sure of it. If she got hurt because of them, there would be no question about it, they'd be dead before a whole minute had gone by.

Kayla POV

My name is Kayla Raes, I just turned seventeen. My hair is black, my eyes are icy blue, I'm kinda pale, stick thin. I wish I could say I was normal. I think I am normal. My parents, Alexandra and Isaac.... Well.... Not so much. Don't get me wrong, I love them both to death. But there are some things I could do without.

1 - My curfew, I have to be home before dark. Every. Freaking. Day.

2 - I can not go to parties unless they are during the day.

3 - I can't go out alone.

You get the idea. It's not like I live in a bad neighborhood. I live in New Hampshire, maybe twenty minutes walk from the beach.

I really don't know what my parents' problem is with me going out at night.

They don't know that I plan to. My friend Ally is having a party on the beach this weekend, and no way am I missing it.
