Prologue
Fifteen years ago two male vampires broke the rules of the clan and went to meet the all mighty Desmond Tiny. They begged him create children for them. Desmond agreed and took the blood of the two vampires and the blood of their lovers and impregnated the women. The fathers thanked Desmond and began a life with their lovers while still keeping attachments to the vampire clan. A few months later the babies were born, half vampire/half human. Years passed and the babies grew older still oblivious to the other side of them, the other side that was locked away. And this is where our story begins

Chapter 1-Meet Leo Mathius
"Wakey, wakey" said a loud obnoxious voice as the blinds were drawn open and the light assaulted my eyes. "James" I said "you have all of 5 seconds to get out of room before I murder you". "You have to catch me fruit cake" said my brother James. "Fine" I said "if you insist". I calmly rolled out of bed and then pretended to lunge at James who screamed and ran out of my room at full speed. "Heh" I laughed as I moved to my dresser and opened it. "Hey champ" said a voice. I turned to face my doorway only to see my dad standing in it. Jake Mathis (a.k.a dad) looks like me except a whole lot older (don’t tell him I said that). Same hair color and the same skin but he has blue eyes and I have gray eyes. “Your mom called” he said “she says to tell you happy birthday”. Mom and dad have been divorced for almost 6 years now and James and I have been living with dad for every single second. But I’m getting ahead of myself. My name Is Leonardo Mathis but people call me Leo for short. I’m 15 (well I will be 16 today). I’m about 5’5, tan skin, brown hair (that is long in the back and short in the front) gray eyes, and a buff/slim form. “So are you ready for your big day” asked dad. “Aside from the fact that I have to go to school on my b-day” I responded. “I told you that you could go to work with me” he said as I pulled on a under shirt and a navy blue t-shirt. “Dad no offense but the thing that’s even worse then going to school on your birthday” I said “is going to work with your parents on your birthday so thanks but no thanks”. I pulled on my Rocawear jeans and my gray and black Vans. “Oh” he said “alright I guess”. I was about to walk out of my room when dad stopped me. I turned my head and looked in his eyes. His blue eyes were full of confusion and shame. “Dad what’s wrong” I asked. “Nothing” he answered “I just can’t believe you’re growing up so fast I can still remember when you were born and I held you for the first time”. “Okay old man” I said “don’t get all mushy on me”. He glared at me. “Who are you calling old” he said. Then as I was about to answer him when my cell phone began ringing. Saved by the bell (or ring tone whatever). I reached into my pocket and fished my phone out of the pocket. I hit the phone Send button and put the phone up to my ear. “Hello” I said. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO” yelled 5 voices in unison (so loud that I had to hold the phone far away from my ear). “Thanks guys” I said to my friends Peter Brown, Jade Kingston, Sky Kitsume, Kai Kitsume, and Tai Kitsume. “Now hurry up and get your a** downstairs” said Sen. “Well if you keep rushing me I’m gonna take my sweet time” I retorted. “Just hurry” said Kai. “Fine” I said “I’ll be down in a minute”. I hit the End button on my phone, stuffed it into my pocket, maneuvered around dad and ran downstairs. “See you later” I yelled upstairs. “Just be home right after school” he said. “Okay dad” I said as I ran out the door with my messenger bag in one hand and a piece of toast in the other.

(Jake’s POV)
“Is he gone” said a voice behind me as I closed the door to Leo’s room. “Yes” I said without turning around. “Good” said the voice of a man. I turned around to see a man about 5’9 with orange hair and a scar running down his right cheek. “Hello Jake” said the man. “Larten” I said offering him my hand. He took it and we shook. “Tea” I said motioning down the stairs. “No” he said “I won’t be staying long, just wanted to check up on my future student”. “Larten” I said “I’m not so sure about bringing Leo into the fold”. “Jake you’ve been putting this off for 5 years” said my good friend Larten Crepsley “you’re gonna have to tell him”. I sighed. “Okay” I said “after the party I’ll tell him”. “Good luck” said Larten and then in the blink of an eye, he was gone. “Heh” I chuckled “Larten you crazy vampire”
