Blood-Moon

Chapter 12

When I woke up in the morning, I couldn't feel Jane next to me. I lay up and saw her reading a book. I smiled at her cause she did indeed look beautiful. She looked at me and reproduced the smile; she put her book down and came to my side.

"How was your sleep, Darling?" she said softly.

Rubbing my eye, "The best sleep I have had in a long time."

She smirked, "Because I was there." grabbing my hand to hers

I raised my eyebrow," Well, the bed was soft too, but you added a lot to it."

Frowning, which quickly turned into a smile, " I thought so."

I got dressed into a black, short sleeve button-up with tailored black dress pants that were resewn for my legs. Of course, my cloak, too. Once I got done, Jane and I went out to the garden. Felix was there with Demetri; they were sitting at a bench talking; I won't lie, they were pretty scary, but last night when Jane and I spoke, she told me that those two were big softies once you got to know them. We went to a bench next to them. Jane sat down since I already had a sit, I greeted the two, lit a cigar, and Jane and I talked about what her schedule was going to be like today.

"We have a few trials today, and of course, your family is coming today. Why, what's on your mind?" she asked

"I need to speak with Marc... I mean my father about a few things." I said nervously

she smiled and played with my hair, "You do not need to force yourself to call him father; take your time, my sweet. I can take you to him if you want."

I smiled and nodded

Jane took me back into the castle, and we went to Marcus' office; we knocked and were told to enter. Jane kissed me on the cheek, apologized, and told me she had a few things to do.

I entered and saw Marcus signing a few documents. He smiled when he saw me; Athena was also laying on a couch reading a book; she greeted me and returned to her book.

"What is it, my child? Is something wrong," he asked calmly

He got up and hugged me, then returned to his seat," No, everything is alright; I just had a few logistical questions."

Athena's interest had peaked at that response since she was the strategist out of the three. I pulled out a few blueprints and gave them to them. They stared at them, and Athena got a massive smirk and sent a proud look toward me.

"What do you think of them," I asked.

"Well, I am definably impressed you thought of these, but why would you need them?" he said

"Well, since it is going to be at least another year and a half till I change into a vampire, I figured I need a way to protect myself."

"Done, whatever you need, I will help you, my sweetie; I also want to see the look on any vampire that would try and hurt you with these. I hope you never have to use them, of course, but you can never be careful." Athena said proudly

The blueprint they had in their hands was one for a potent taser weapon that would paralyze a vampire; the other was a revolver that would harm a vampire to the point it could kill if shot correctly. The major problem is that the prongs to puncture a vampire's skin are the most challenging part, identical with finding a solid material to puncture a vampire's strong skin.

"There is one problem: I haven't been able to find a medal or alloy strong enough to puncture a vampire's skin," I said sadly.

"Ohh, that's an easy fix, sweetie; only other supernatural being can harm or kill another," said Athena

Marcus nodded to her response; he kneeled down to me, "Would you like to watch a trial today."

A part of me was terrified, but the other part was interesting in the research and what I could learn. I nodded my head, and Marcus and Athena took me to the throne room, where another chair had been put next to Marcus and Suplicia; the throne was my size. Suplicia was there waiting for us, she practically smothered me in a hug, and then she helped me into the throne because there were a few steps that went up to the throne, and my enemy was a few inches taller. They threw a blanket onto my legs, well, what was left of them to keep me warm.

"Are you comfortable ?" Suplicia asks in a soft tone

I nodded, and they all took a sit in their thrones.

Next, Felix and Demetri had brought in a man who was being held by the both of them. He had been killing too often, and people started noticing his actions. He looked at me and said a few insults and then towards the King and Queen for breaking their own rule, which Jane had used her ability at. It was fascinating to see it for the first time; I had stared had her for too long because once she noticed, I turned away in embarrassment, and she giggled a little. The King and Queen did agree that they were indeed breaking their own rules, but once they told him about my case, he nodded.

Athena sat up from her throne, "But you did insult our child." she snapped her finger.

Next, Felix and Demetri ripped his arms off then Athena ran in a blur and pulled his head off, and it landed on the floor. I was a little shaken, but Jane noticed and came over and relaxed me so did Marcus. Felix and Demetri started to pick up the body to burn when Marcus stopped them; then, he looked down towards me.

"There are your missing pieces, my son; vampire skin is tough enough to puncture a vampire's skin."

After Marcus told them to get rid of the head, they took the other parts to Marcus's Office and then told them to get a workshop for me. Then I heard Athena growl, "I can smell the filthy vegetarians."

Suplicia hit her shoulder, "They are as much as Dracs family as he is to us."

When my other family got here, Esme jumped me the moment she saw me and started to hug and kiss me, telling me how much she missed me. Jasper picked me up and gave me a huge bear hug, and I thought Emmett was bad.

Marcus had explained everything to the Cullen most Carlisle and Esme; he told them about his bond with Jane and the parental bond with him, Suplicia, and Athena. I was talking with Alice when I heard Edythe.

"Eww, I wish I could unhear that Drakul," she said with a horrid look

"What is it, Edythe," Esme asked

"I don't know how to put it, but our little boy is not a little boy anymore," she said, trying to find the right words.

Esme looked towards me and saw Jane and me looking away; she frowned; Carlisle had to remind her that they were mates. Emmett tried to give me a high five, but I felt too embarrassed to even look at him; Rose hit him.

After a few Esme came to me and played with my hair, " Are you ready to go home?"

"Not, really ?" I said, which shocked the other family members

"Why," Carlisle asked genuinely

"Well, I just got here, and I want to spend more time with Jane, and I have a few projects I want to work on before heading back to forks," I said, playing with my fingers nervously.

Esme had stormed off, and Carlisle ran after her. After 20 minutes, she returned to me and hugged me," You can have one more week." she whispered softly. I know she was upset because I had been gone for a few days, but I will return. I just had a few things to work on.

"Okay, thank you, Mom; I will call daily and update y'all on my progress."

After my family left, I felt terrible that they came to get me, but I decided to stay a little longer; it hurt that they came for nothing. I was happy they let me stay a bit longer; I also was not worried about school, not like I didn't know the material.
