disappearing into my house.
He came back out with a red fleece blanket.
"Let me guess. You don't want to hurt Emmanuel. I understand. But, what if he leaves, not you. Would you consider it then?" Felix said.
"Felix, please don't. I have enough on my mind already, please, don't. You'll know if I decide." I said.
"Fine. I guess I should let you rest. You can stop by anytime for anything. Realize, I have the whole pack for help. They can help you...well, except for Damien. But, yeah...Bye." Felix said, before leaning in and kissing my cheek.
He turned into his black wolf form and ran off.
I went inside.
"Why was he here?" Emmanuel asked.
"I don't want to talk about it. If you need me, I'll be sleeping like the dead." I said, yawning.
I started to walk back to my room.
"Staz, I got a hold of my family, they want to come here tomorrow. Just to let you know." Emmanuel called.
"Fine with me." I said, before getting to my room and collapsing on my bed.
I woke up to crying.
Wierd, the crying sounded like a child's cry, not a baby's cry.
I looked at the clock.
9:30 am.
Ugh...Morning.
I went and checked on Aviance and Actaeon.
If I had been expecting them to age another year overnight, I had been wrong.
They were playing on the floor with one of the maids.
The maid was black-skinned, with dyed-blonde hair and dark-brown eyes.
She looked up at me and smiled nervously.
"I Sorra miss, but them was cryin' uppa storm. I figured ya wouldden mine if I teach them twins how'da stack da squares like em' shouldda go." The maid said, getting up and brushing herself off.
It would be nice to have help with the twins.
"No no, it's fine. Would you mind getting them ready? It would really help, I am busy as can be." I said, holding up a hand to stop her.
"Yeah Miss." The maid said.
Yay, I would have time to check in with Jules before I left.
"Excellent." I said, walking towards the door. "And one more thing."
The maid looked up at me.
"Yes Miss?" The maid asked.
"What is your name?" I asked.
"Absidee, miss." Absidee said.
"Well, Absidee, thank you. I'll send in a letter to have them give you a raise." I smiled, walking out.
I hurried to dress and meet up with everyone. I threw on a short white dress that had red splatters to look like blood, and a hat that was the same. The dress was low-cut, showing a lot of my chest. I grimaced, wanting to cover up with a coat.I shrugged as I threw on lace nylons and black boots. I walked out to see Juliet.
"Hey, girl. I was waiting for you. I have a bet." Juliet said. "But before I start, I must say, If my brothers see you in that dress, it'll drive them wild. There's nothing my brothers like better than a pretty girl in a short dress."
I laughed, but inwardly groaned.
Great, more boys.
Just what I need.
"What's this bet?" I asked, walking with Juliet.
She grinned, her eyes shining.
"Do you like to dance?"
Ah, hell.
Mistakes Were Made

Emmanuel

The doorbell rang to the door as I was eating. Anastasia, all I knew was still asleep, and Juliet, was well, being saturday-morning-I-gotta-look-hot-Juliet. Luke had gone to get coffee about an hour ago, and if I was correct probably found a pretty girl.
I got up and threw the door open, expecting Luke.
"Hi, brother." A male voice said.
In front of me stood a couple members of my family.
I had 3 brothers and 3 sisters.
There was Romeo, Juliet's twin brother. He had black hair like mine, though it was slightly longer, and it curled. His chocolate brown eyes looked sad. He was about my height, even though I was older than him by a year. His skin was pale as any other vampire skin would be. Victor and Victoria were identical at one point, except for the fact that they were opposite gender. They both decided to dye their hair different colors. Victor had electric blue hair and Victoria had pink hair. They both still had blue eyes. Brooklyn had hay-blonde hair and blue eyes. She looked like the 15-year-old-Juliet. Penelope was always small. She right now was smaller than Juliet. Penelope was Brooklyn's twin, though Brooklyn was tall and Penelope was short like a 12-year-old. Penelope looked like Brooklyn, only she had straight hair and brown eyes. Then came Gideon. He had hay-blonde hair, which went down to his eyes. he had brown eyes, and looked nothing like me.
"Hey. I didn't know you'd be early." I answered Gideon.
"Let me guess, the mundie girl you have is still asleep. I figured we could leave the girls here and go around town." Victor said, smirking.
"What's the girl's name? By the way, hi Manny, long time no see." Penelope asked, her voice like a whisper.
I hated being called Manny.
"Anastasia. Jules is probably bugging her to get ready." I answered.
Victoria nudged past Gideon and Victor to sit down at the table.
"What? I feel like a stranger standing here." Victoria asked, when Romeo glared.
"Come in. I'll go find Jules. Stay here. And don't break or kill anything while I'm gone." I said, walking out. I ran into Jules.
Literally.
She was walking with Anastasia, who was struggling with two pissed off 1-year-olds.
"Oof! Sorry Emmanuel! I'm walking Staz to her mom's. Scratch that, I'm just talking to her. She's dropping Aviance and Actaeon off with her parents." Juliet said.
"I was thinking to let Dad watch Actaeon and Aviance with Eve. Relax, Dad raised me well, and same with Eve." Anastasia said, trying not to drop Aviance.
"Okay. My family's already here." I said, a second before both Eve and Lucifer appeared.
Eve had brought that angel, Azrael with her. He grinned at Anastasia.
"Hey. You looked like you needed help. We figured you'd want us to pick them up." Lucifer said, barely noticing Azrael and Eve.
"Lucifer," Eve said at the same time that Lucifer said, "Eve,"
"Here." Anastasia said, handing Aviance and Actaeon to her parents.
"Bye Staz." Azrael said, before all three of them left.
"Hey, Brooklyn, Victoria, and Penelope are staying here, we thought you'd want to do something like, I don't know...Anyways, The boys and I are going to make a quick arrend." I said.
"Kay kay." Anastasia said, sighing.
The time with Romeo, Gideon, and Victor flew by.

Anastasia

"Are you serious?! I won't do that!" I exclaimed.
"Come on! You can choose what will happen if I lose." Juliet begged.
"Fine. If I win, you have to...Pay for everything I buy all next month. Even if that means you get a job." I said.
"Fine." Juliet said.
"I've got my money on Juliet." The girl, Brooklyn said.
"I think Anastasia." Penelope said.
"Me too." Victoria said.
Juliet powered on the Wii.
"What three songs?" Juliet asked.
"Toxic, When I grow up, and Hot'n'Cold." I answered.
We started with Hot'n'Cold on Just Dance 2. I lost that one.
Then we did When I grow up.
I almost sighed when I won.
There was no way I was going to lose.
I wouldn't.
"Hey, dude. That's one hot girl." I heard a male voice say. The door creaked open, which happened to be under the flat-screen TV as we started Toxic.
"I think we have an audience." Juliet smirked.
I did the dance, ignoring all of the hushed nasty comments from the boys peeking in. I was wanting to stop and cover my chest at the shimmy parts. I felt as if any moment, the dress wouldn't cover me, showing more of my chect or crotch.
Someone whistled at the end of the song.
It was a tie between me and Juliet.
"Crap, a tie." I said.
"I say Staz won." Emmanuel said, opening the door, three boys tumbling in.
They turned red, as if they were embarrassed to be caught spying.
"I second that vote." A boy said.
"Shut up Gideon, you just want to sleep with her." Juliet snapped.
"I say the girl in the dress won too." Another boy said.
"You too, Romeo? Letting your own twin lose a bet." Juliet sighed and said.
Romeo. This was the boy I was supposed to kiss if I had lost.
"Ha! get ready to pay up, all month." I said, grinning.
"You two were in the middle of a bet?" Emmanuel asked..
"Yes. And now I don't have to pay for anything all month." I grinned.
"Sweet." Romeo said.
"Staz. These are my brothers. Romeo, Gideon, and Victor. Guys, this is my girlfriend, Anastasia." Emmanuel said.
I heard someone stifle a groan.
It was Romeo.
"Do you have a problem with that?" I snapped.
"N-no." Romeo stuttered, flushing.
"See told you he wanted to sleep with her," Juliet muttered.
"SHUT UP!" Romeo yelled.
My stomach growled.
"Guess we should go eat." Brooklyn said.
"Fine." Romeo said, looking at Emmanuel.
"Ooh! There's a Chili's in Encino." Penelope said.
"That sounds good to me." Victoria said.
"But, what about...Never mind." I said.
I locked eyes with Emmanuel.
I silent conversation passed between us.
"Hey, love birds, stop gawking at each other. Let's go." Victoria snapped.
"Gonna be hard to seat 10." Luke said, walking in.
"Luke." Gideon and Romeo said at the same time.
"Gideon, Romeo." Luke said,
"Hey Princess." Luke smirked.
"I will kill you while you sleep." I said sweetly.
"You're killin' me girl." Luke grinned.
I flipped him off.
"Ouch." I heard Romeo whisper.
"Let's go." I said, sighing.
I walked next to Emmanuel, who messed with my hair.
"I really hate it when you do that." I said.
"I know, but I still like to mess with you." Emmanuel grinned.
"Of course you like to mess with her, but not just with her hair." I heard Romeo say.
"What is your problem with me? Why are you treating me like a stupid mundie?" I snapped.
"I thought you were a mundie." Romeo said, sounding confused.
"No! I'm not even close! I'm from heaven and i'm-" I was cut off.
"I always wondered what an angel was like in bed," Romeo said, giving me a cocky smile.
"ROMEO! THAT'S NOT FAIR TO HER. SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO BE TORTURED." Juliet yelled.
I felt my cheeks flush. I was embarrassed by that.
"I-Im also...part devil." I said quietly.
"What? Do you actually expect me to believe your the daughter of Lucifer?" Romeo laughed. It was deep and seductive.
"Yes, in fact how much do you want to bet I can turn into his messager, an owl?" I asked.
"If you're wrong, You have to..." Romeo said, before pulling me in and whispering, "Sleep with me tonight."
I felt myself blush even harder.
"Fine, If I'm right, you'll be the one paying for lunch." I said, nearly stuttering.
Sleep? With Romeo?
No. Fucking. Way.
"Kay then, do it, before we reach the
