The Secret Hybrid Child

Vampiric Tendencies

There was a knock on the door and I turned to it as Lucas grumbled. I slipped out of bed and answered the door, standing there was a boy of about 13 that smiled up at me. His eyes were red and his fangs present.
"Master Rowan asks for you and master Lucas to get ready for dinner, we shall eat in an hour."
I smiled back and said thank you and watched the boy skip off down the hall.
"His name is Bartholomew, and he's about 250 years old...give or take a few years."
I squeaked at Lucas' voice in my ear and turned to see him smiling down on me. After my heart calmed I asked
"Why was he turned as a boy?"
The smile left Lucas' face and he walked over to the bed. He sat down and motioned for me to join him, so I closed the door and sat shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Your father found him after a feral pack of vamps went through his town. They killed his father and brothers, raped and stole his mother and sisters. Bart was bleeding out from a wound in his stomach but refused to stop trying to go after the vamps. He was bleeding out for almost a whole day when your father found him. So he turned Bart and helped him track down the coven."
Lucas took a deep breathe and sighed
"His mother they killed, his sisters they were using for breeding and feeding. Bart being newly turned and not feral killed them all, including his sisters. Your father took him in after that. He is a great kid, but don't let his youthful looks full you."
He elbowed me and smiled as he stood
"Let's get ready, I'm starving and I'd rather not argue before eating."
I chuckled at him and got up to get ready as well.
We walked down several hallways, Lucas never showed any concern that we may be lost....I was completely lost. After several minutes we walk into the dining hall, and a hall it was. The table was in a U shape and took up the middle of the hall and several people lined both sides. My father made eye contact with us and merely smiled and nodded his head, then returned to his conversation with an elderly gentleman. Bartholomew sat on the right side of Tristan and Juliet on the left. We took our seat on the other side of the table and came face to face with Tristan.
"Took you long enough, I'm starving and Rowan wanted to wait for the guests of honor."
He chuckled and took a drink, Juliet stared daggers at me then went to fluttering her lashes at Lucas, who shook his head and rolled his eyes at her antics, while squeezing my hand under the table.
"Do try not to ruin my dinner with your whorish thoughts Juliet. I'd prefer to eat without incident."
Bart leaned up and cocked his head at her, his eyes red and a sneer on his face, Juliet huffed and took a drink of  her wine  as Tristan laughed. Bart turned his attention to me
"You must forgive her, she's been pining after Lucas for a very long time. It seems she has found no manners in that time. I just ignore her, it pisses her off to no end and it makes me laugh."
He sat back with a wink and a smile and in couldn't help but laugh.
"Dear guests, may I have your attention please."
My fathers voice quietly rolled through the people causing everyone to quiet and look at him. He as a proud man, you could tell my the way he held his shoulders. His voice was husky, quiet, but penetrating, he never once shouted and as he spoke his smile would light up his face from time to time, but it never reached his eyes. Finally after a few moments of thanking everyone for coming and the discussion of certain foods his eyes landed on me.
"This dinner tonight is more a welcome for my daughter, whom I thought was lost to me. Please make her feel at home, and please everyone enjoy your stay."
He sat down and gave me a smile before returning to his previous conversation.
"Well honored guest, how does it feel being here?"
Tristan asked me while staring deep into my eyes. I could feel the push of his power and I channeled my thoughts...curious, wary, intrigued, cautious.
I put up my shield to keep him out of my thoughts and he smirked at me and winked.
"She's getting better and stronger Lucas, but I would still make sure to keep your guard up."
Lucas grumbled his agreement and the rest of the dinner was small talk and getting to know Bart and Juliets personalities.  I let my powers out slowly, drifting over people, tasting their auras and reading their thoughts. Some were better guarded then others, but I continued to let my power ooze out of me to be sure not to startle anyone. Lucas eventually leaned over and whispered
"You are doing very good at releasing your power so that it's undetected, but if you reinforce it with your shield then it will be easier to stay under the radar."
He kissed my cheek and smiled down at him. I smiled back and brought up my shield. It took work but after several failed attempts I was able to prod with my shield, making it much easier. After about 30 minutes my body became exhausted and Dana came forth
"That is enough for tonight, you can not let yourself be completely drained of any physical power. This will be something we need to practice with, just like training your body we must train our minds."
I completely agreed with her and slowly pulled my powers back in. I noticed Tristan and Bart staring at me, their eyes red and smirks upon their faces.
"Not bad for a child,she still needs more training, I'll ask Cassie if she wouldn't mind stopping by and helping her. That way it's not just you training her."
Lucas looked between Bart and myself and finally nodded.
"Okay Bart, but only because Cassie is better at stealth than I am."
Bart threw his head back and laughed at the pained expression plastered on Lucas' face.
"There is no shame in acknowledging your failures Lucas, besides it will be good to see Cassie again. We have things that we need to talk about."
Tristan purred from across the table and had a very naughty smile. I laughed out loud as Lucas just shook his head. Juliet had been sitting in silence the whole time and finally she looked at Lucas
"Wanna go back to my room Lucas? I'm in need of a good fuck."
Her face was serious and she paid me, Tristan, and Bart no mind. Lucas just looked at her no expression on his face. Before he could say anything to her I felt Dana come through. The blast of power that came from me pushed her and her chair across the room pinning her to the wall. Her eyes were huge as she stared at me. Lucas grabbed my arm to get me to calm down but Dana was furious. This woman knew Lucas was my mate and she still persisted. I grabbed Lucas' hand, breaking two of his fingers, as I pushed him away. I jumped over the table, canines elongated and my fangs out. And for the first time I heard another inner voice besides Dana, it was my voice but different.
"Ah Dana let's drain this one, I'm hungry and I think this whore's blood will do just fine."
Dana growled agreement and then I was on top of Juliet her screams not even piercing the irritation that I held, and before I registered it I had my fangs sunk into her. Her warm blood coated my throat and I felt my power stutter and then explode. I felt her heartbeat slow and then strong hands around my shoulders, the power emanating from them quenched my power and I removed my fangs and fell back into the person who held me. As my eyes cleared and Dana calmed I was picked up bridal style and looked into the smiling face of my father.
"Lucas take your mate back to your room, I'll be by shortly."
He smiled again down at me as he passed me to Lucas and then I blacked out.
