The Deadly Secret (editing)

History of the Blood Crystal

Okay, guy's last chapter was long and I intend to keep it like that. From now on ALL my chapters will be that long or close enough to it and I think the last chapter was about 2460 somethin' words and like 3 laptop sized pages long so yeah a pretty big chapter. But I give you this chapter which will answer a lot of questions and I have a feeling a few people will be thinking what happened Zero's illness. Don't worry he still has it but I haven't done much with it, but I will do a chapter later on with his illness included into it. I would like to thank one of my friends and my family for making me continue this story. For now though I bring to you the next chapter enjoy. XD

Aria's POV

"Okay, this is it welcome to Royal Blood manor. Please make yourself at home" I announced as Ethan, the four kids and I walked into Royal Blood manor, all four kids changed out of their ball gowns and suits. Light grey stone bricks coated the outside, with large, white arch shaped windows covering placed around the house. The stairs leading up to the second floor were covered in light grey carpet. The front doors where oak doors painted white and the floor boards where polished oak wood.

I walked over to the kitchen to makes drinks and snacks for the kids, "is this a good idea?" Ethan asked as I poured soft drink into glasses and emptied a packed of chips into a bowl. "What other choice do we have? You know who he wants. Zero and his friends may be able to help us if they accept" I said grabbing the tray of food and drink and walking into the lounge room.

"Okay, drinks and food are here, enjoy. We will be back in a minute" I said, placing the tray down on the coffee table, "I know but what if they don't help? We will look like fools to the other two" Ethan said concerned for his reputation. I sighed, he was always doing this whenever we asked for help, "If they don't want to help us then so be it. But you can't do this every time we ask for help...we don't do it often" I stated while walking up the stairs, turning to the right and entering the study/library.

Stacks of books old and new were piled everywhere, "hello, good to see you again Aria" I turned and saw Jane our cleaner, on her ladder organizing books that were out of place "you too Jane" I said. She slowly climbed down her ladder and walked over to me "was there a particular book or note you where after?" she asked sweetly.

I admired Jane, she had a natural kindness in her heart, something that the Royal Bloods lacked, all we are is the police of the vampire world... even vampires have restrictions that if breached, the penalty can be lethal. "Um yes... I need the book The History of the Blood Crystal" I said, Jane knows of our secret, yet she isn't a vampire herself.

She was 4, her parents had abandoned her. Ethan found her and was going to turn her because she was so weak but the rest of us voted against it because she should have the right to decide if she wants that life, so all we did was tell her everything.

"Okay, coming right up" she ascended up her ladder and came down a few moments later with a massive book in her hand, "you will have to excuse its condition after the study flooded last month I and practically ruined everything, I haven' had time to restore everything" she said wiping away the lose strands of straight red hair behind her ear while handing me the book.

"Thank you Jane" I said leaving the study to head back down the stair. I studied the book, Jane was right, the book was dry but she did her best to recover some of the words that were lost but most of the pages were tattered and crumpled. There was enough information for the kids, I hope they take this seriously. I walked into view of the lounge room and laughter met my ears, I was instantly taken back to my family, three siblings and Mum and Dad. I walked into the lounge room and all laughter ceased. Everyone looked in my direction.
