I laughed. "You don't want to mess with someone like Cole little sister." I said smirking. "Just because you were born ten minutes earlier doesn't make you older. We are twins." she said rolling her eyes and walking off. "I better go with her though. Who knows what trouble she'll end up getting herself into, and then my mom will have a fit." I said groaning. "I'll catch you around okay?" I said walking off, still looking at him as I waited for a response.

I shrugged. "Sure thing," I said, changing direction to head out of the school. I noticed pretty quick that I lost Lydia, and rolled my eyes. Probably stopped to talk to someone.

When we got home it was like normal, but now I was gonna hate my sister even more.... "How was school?" my mom asked as we came and sat at the table. "It was pretty good. I made a ton of friends, as usual." my sister said, flipping her hair. "What a big shock!" I said gasping mockingly and turning to her. She rolled her eyes and looked back at our mom who was cutting vegetables for supper. "Though Roxanne did meet a boy at school. He's a werewolf too." she said and I narrowed my eyes. If she wasn't my sister I would kill her. "Oh? What's he like?" my mom asked, suddenly interested. "He's kind of dark and tall. You know he keeps to himself a lot. He has beautiful blue eyes. He seems really cold and cruel at first look, but it seems to really attract me to him. I'm not sure why...." I said taking advantage of the one point my mom really cared about my friends or life. She seemed a little intrigued. It was almost as if she'd met him.... She stopped what she was doing and looked into my eyes. "What's his name?" she asked suddenly. "Um...Cole....Cole Markus I think..." I said a little shocked by the amount of interest. My mom's face was full of shock. "They're still here...." my mom whispered. It was too low for my sister to hear. "What do you mean?" I asked curiously. It seemed my mom forgot I could hear that low for a second. "Oh, well....You see your friend's father and mother were good friends of mine." she said and it seemed something was paining her a little. "Cole said his mom died.....What happened?" I asked not wanting her to feel in more pain, but I was very curious. "She died when they were very young. You two used to live here as well. We left the day after she died... Roxanne? How would you feel about going to Cole's house?" she said and my eyes went wide. "Uh...That'd be cool.. I guess..." I said softly. "Then let's go! Venus you can finish up super. The recipe's on the table. Even though you have cooked it before." my mom said grabbing my wrist, and we ran out of the house. {Crystal} Roxanne and I slowly approached the door. I was sure this was his house. The other random houses we went to did lack the scent of vampire, and that is exactly why I believed I was correct with them. Until I finally remembered that his daughter was a vampire. I knocked lightly on the door, knowing that alone would give away who I was. Here we go… I thought as I waited for him to approach the door.

{Lucian} The second I heard the knock, my blood froze. An insistent logical part of my mind told me that it could be anyone – but I knew instinctively that it was Crystal. Everything seemed to be instinctive when it came to her. I hopped up with the same light grace I’d somehow managed to retain, and padded to the door. I pulled it open slowly, and inclined my head at her. “Princess. It's been a long time,” I said lightly, the usual smirk pulling at my lips.

“Yes Lucian, far too long. Fifteen years to be exact.” I said smiling my typical smile that always seemed to brighten my entire face.

“Oh, I know. I counted them.” My voice never changed from the same casual, mocking lightness. Keeping my expression carefully guarded, I leaned on the doorframe and raised my eyebrows at her. “What brings you here now? After so long?”

“Well Roxanne here met your son at school today. I knew of course that it was your son automatically. We have just recently moved back. It’s because of certain reasons that caused many conflicts for us…” I said softly. “Meaning that Venus has a limited control of herself and almost exposed us…” Roxanne muttered. I just shook my head.

I raised an eyebrow. Why was that not surprising? I stepped away from the doorframe and spread one hand, gesturing wordlessly for them both to come in.

I nodded slowly and walked in, leading Roxanne cautiously inside. “So how have you been? How are the children?” I asked, still very cautious for some reason…

I smirked. "The children are great, although Lydia will freak you out with her uncanny resemblance to a certain someone. I've been..." I trailed off and shrugged, not bothering to finish the sentence. I wasn't going to bother with the typical "good" or "fine" when I hadn't been - even after fifteen years, I was pretty sure she'd see right through me.

"I haven't seen Lydia and Cole since they were babies. They're fifteen now, just like mine. It's been forever..." I said softly, knowing Roxanne would enjoy talking to Cole. "Are they here?" I asked, trying to detect any slight sounds that would tell me my answer automatically.

I shrugged. "They're probably here somewhere."
{Lydia} I glanced up from my position on my bed, sprawled on my stomach and writing in my notebook, at my brother, who was leaning carefully against the door. Why he was actually in my bedroom was beyond me, but although I was more than ready to get into any type of argument with him, I really just wasn't in the mood today. "Are you eavesdropping?" I asked him. "Of course I am." I rolled my eyes, attempting to ignore him, but after a moment curiosity caught up with me. "So who's here?" "Roxie." I rolled my eyes at the nickname. "And her mother." I raised an eyebrow. "Her mother?" That was odd... I sighed, flipped my notebook shut, and padded to the door, just as Cole smirked at me. "Apparently, we're needed." "Needed?" "Not really, but come on." He padded calmly into the hallway. I shrugged and followed, pausing momentarily when I saw them. "Hi, Roxanne. Hi, Mrs. Helling," I said politely. I was the only one who saw Cole roll his eyes.

{Roxanne} "Hello, Lydia." my mother and I said in unison. I looked at Cole and gave him a half-smirk, half-smile. "Hello, Cole..." I said softly.
{Crystal} "I'm actually one of your father's old friends. I haven't seen you two since you were babies... My how you two have grown..." I said and then looked directly at Lydia. The resemblance was far too great. I had to try to stay very strong. "You look so much like your mother...." I said so very softly.

"So I've been told," I said softly, inclining my head. Incredibly, I'd never actually seen a picture of my mother, or asked my dad about her - I knew there was too much pain on the subject. But I had had other people before her compare me physically.
{Cole} I raised an eyebrow. "Hello, Roxie. What brings you here?"

{Roxanne} "Honestly, I have really no clue why I'm here. My mother heard your last name and then we rushed here... Turns out our parents are old friends. Who knew? Why I'm here though is beyond me..." I said softly, walking over to him. I was totally lying. I of course was here because I knew inside, I had no choice but to admit it, but I loved Cole.
{Crystal} "Why don't you kids hang out? I need to speak to Lucian, if that's alright..." I said looking at him sweetly.
