There we were, on the day of our wedding ceremony, with our extended family in the background, while my mother spoke of danger to my life. Zhan and I could only stare at her. Unnoticed, my brother had also joined us with Cheng and asked, "Danger from elves? Did you perhaps consume illegal substances mother?"

"How do you know it's about elves?" She asked.

"The book! I know the sign. I have seen it many times in my dreams and when I lived in the U.S. I had enough time to research what kind of dreams they are and what this sign means. According to a legend, this sign belongs to an elf folk from WeißWald, a mystical world, not the place in Germany, to which only elves have access." Explained my brother.

"You dreamed about this?" I asked, as my mother continued to stare at him, speechless.

My brother nodded. "Yes, I dreamed about it when I was younger. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Just a child's fantasy. But after I went to the U.S., I had those dreams again in which Beautiful Tall Beings with white skin, white hair, blue eyes and pointed ears painted that sign. Since I had a lot of free time, I started researching and quickly found some information. But I could not believe it. It sounded more like a made-up story. But now that I see the book in Yibo's hand, I think it wasn't all made up."

Suddenly a thought came to me, or rather a question popped into my head. Had I shown my transformed self to my brother? I thought about it and was sure, no, I hadn't shown it to him yet. So I exchanged glances with Zhan and he immediately understood what I wanted. He nodded and I transformed. This then got the full attention of everyone present who had also never seen me transform.

But while my new extended family reacted with astonishment, my mother let out a short horrified scream. She stared at me with wide eyes and asked, "What are you?"

And I clearly told her for the first time, "I'm a vampire!"

She shook her head vigorously. "No, you are not a vampire! You are a hybrid such as should not exist!" She almost screamed as she said this. She actually looked threatening as she then also whirled her hands around angrily in front of my face.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zhan transform and jump in front of me. He growled at my mother and gritted fearfully his teeth. I had never seen him like that before. He had never lost control like he did at that moment. And it wasn't until I slid my hand over his head and he looked up at me that he slowly calmed down. "Shhh, it's okay ZhanZhan. I'm fine. Don't worry." I whispered.

Horrified, my mother looked back and forth between me and Zhan. Meanwhile, Cheng had also transformed and stood in front of my big brother. Was Cheng suddenly worried too?

Grandpa Xiao finally came to us and said sternly, "That's enough now. You all transform back and Mrs. Wang, well, you should tell us what you know!"

Zhan and I transformed back, then Cheng did too. And for a moment, it seemed like my mother actually wanted to talk at last. Even though she still seemed shocked. But she finally accompanied us to the campfire and sat down on a chair there. My little brother stood next to her and put his head on her shoulder. For him, it was all just confusing.

After my mother-in-law brought my mother a cup of soothing hot tea, everyone, including my father and stepmother, waited for my mother to finally start talking. But she took her time, and the more time passed, the more reluctant she seemed to want to say anything.

In fact, my mother waited until she finished her tea and then said, "Actually, I don't want to tell this in front of so many people."

My big brother suddenly laughed and replied, "Oh don't worry. There are no people here." Everyone giggled, but it wasn't actually funny. Especially not for my little brother, who suddenly became very anxious and crawled onto my mother's lap.
