Prologue

"PLEASE, NO!" She shouts."They killed him," She thought. "And now they'll kill me too," She runs into the woods she genuinely hates. It's full of creatures she can't fight as a human, if only her sister were here. She climbs a tree and hides there.

"Come here, girl," The man said. "You can't be left alone with that secret you have. Let me tell you, a Vampire and a human girl do not mix. He deserved to die, and you decided to be nosy and witness his death, and now you have to die too." She trembles but remains quiet. "I don't want to use my powers in the daylight, so let's make this easy," The tree branch she's on starts to droop, she turns her head around, and there's a Wild Werewolf.

"Great," She thought. The Wild Werewolf was going to break the tree branch in an attempt to kill her. "A Vampire'd rather kill me than a Wild Werewolf." She shakes the tree branch making it fall.

"There you are. I was getting rather bored." The Vampire smirks showing its fangs.

"Please don't," She pleads. The Vampire shakes his head, and another Vampire joins him.

"We told you to leave our son alone, human." She said.

"But you didn't listen, and now look at you,"

"You killed him! Your own son!"

"Shut up!" The woman Vampire slices her throat, and she's left choking on the ground.

"It was hard to murder our son, but he's not the only son. He'll be long forgotten." He smiles.

"P-please," She says raspily.

"He should have listened. He betrayed the royal Vampire family by being with a human girl. You should've listened." He stabs through her heart with his bare hands. "At least her blood tastes good," He smirks as the woman laughs.

"Veara, please protect Loriel, and please end this for me," With her last thoughts, she dies.

*SIX DAYS LATER*

A body was found in Blood Moon Grove. Kludde Authorities identify a human woman with Elf blood, probably around 25-35 in human years. She has dark blue hair and has given birth at least once. They also say it looks like she had an unfortunate encounter with a Vampire. Kludde investigators are yet to find her real identity. Anyone with any information contact the KPS

Kludde Police System.

Chapter 1

Veara's sister Napari had died just a few months ago, leaving her daughter Loriel in Veara's care. Veara wasn't about to mourn over Napari's death. She knew Napari was having intimate relations with a royal Vampire, which is how Loriel was born. Vladimir was all Veara knew of Loriel's father, his name. He came over to visit Loriel once a week, but nothing apart from that. Vladimir is missing, and Napari is dead, and Veara was going to find the person responsible.

"Loriel, time for school, wake up." Veara calmly knocks on the door.

"I want my mom back." Loriel sniffs. Veara sighs.

"I'm sorry-,"

"What about my daddy? And my baby brother in mom's belly?" Tears stream down Veara's face. Napari was pregnant again, and she was killed so coldly.

"Loriel, she's gone, and I'll find your dad," Loriel cries into her pillow.

"I don't want to go to school," Veara knew she was being a bad aunt letting Loriel go to school when her mother died, and her dad is missing, but Loriel is an Elfire, a Vampire/Elf hybrid. Even though Napari was human outside, she was an Elf inside, with Elf blood. Loriel has fangs like a Vampire and long pointy ears like an Elf. Vampire hates Elfires because they have elf blood in them, and for Loriel to have a promising future in Maddrift, she needs to go to school.

"Loriel, you know why your mom and dad couldn't live together, and you know why your dad couldn't visit you often. You're an Elfire, and the Vampires probably killed your mom and kidnapped your father. They don't know that you're the descendant of Vladimir, your father, and it needs to stay that way until I can solve and prove that one or maybe some of the Vampires killed your mom. You need to pretend that you are my sister until you claim the Vampire throne as the rightful heir of Vladimir." Loriel sighs.

"The basic hybrid kids at school make fun of me because I'm not an Elf, and I'm not a Vampire. I'm both."

"Loriel, you are unique, and nobody in Maddrift understands that. You are the future Vampire Queen, and when you're eighteen, none of the kids who make fun of you now would dare to."

"Six years is a long time," Loriel says, reluctantly getting up.

"No, it's not. I've already passed six. I'm one hundred and nine

twenty-six in human years

" Veara tries and fails an attempt to make Loriel laugh. Loriel gets ready, and Veara walks her to school. "Remember, you are my sister, and your last name is Amamion," Veara warns. Loriel nods.

"Promise me that you'll take me on your adventure to find my daddy and the person who killed my mom," Veara shakes her head. She couldn't risk Loriel's life after all it's her sister's and Vladimir's only child.

"I can't. It'll be dangerous,"

"I'm an Elfire. I have the abilities of an elf along with the skills of a Vampire. I am stronger than you, aunt- sister," The fire in Loriel's eyes is not something Veara could deny. Veara knew that she would want to investigate too if her mom and dad went on a trip, and six days later, her mom's body was found, and the dad was missing. "I know you," Loriel whispers. "Auntie, you're not the one to sit around and let the police handle things, and I want to be there." Veara sighs.

"Ok," Veara smiles. "You need to be familiar with Transylvania anyway." Loriel grins from ear to ear.

"Thank you, aunt- I mean sister, you won't regret this!" Loriel plants a kiss on Veara's cheek and heads for Maddrift's Hybrid Academy, a school for hybrids. You can think of all the combinations, Werewolf/Vampire, Werewolf/Elf, Vampire/Griffin, etc. As Veara walks home, she thinks.

"Vladimir is of royal Vampire blood, which means he's an only child, but Vampires killed Napari, so Vladimir is probably being held and tortured by the Vampires and his sibling whether a woman or man is taking over." Veara head's to Maddrift's Library. She picks and checks out every Royal Vampire book she could find.

"Now, I need to research and find out who is ruling over Transylvania," Veara says to herself. She reads and reads until she finds something.

"Royal Vampires usually have 5-6 children for emergency reasons. After Vampire King Vlad Dracu's only son Dracula XCIX led Transylvania into ruin and created the Vampire/Werewolf world war, the Vampire court decided that all Vampires must have more than one child and decided that 5-6 or more is good." Veara smiles at her findings.

"He has siblings!" Veara dances around the kitchen. "That sibling or siblings must know what happened. I need to go to Transylvania, but to ask about it, I need to pretend to be a Vampire or else they'll kill Loriel and me." Veara squeals.

"One step closer," she thought. Her eyes flash to the clock. "Oh my! It's past four o'clock!" Veara's heart skips a beat whenever sending Loriel to school, and so did Napari's, so being just one minute late to pick her up sends her in a cardiac arrest. Veara panics and uses teleportation, and wind gushes through her, and she's at the school. "Loriel?!" Veara runs through the playground. "Lori-,"

"Aun- Veara, you're very late!" Veara breathes air.

"Loriel," Veara sighs and hugs her tight.

"You used your powers. I saw you teleport." Loriel looks up at Veara. Ever since Napari was diagnosed with Humanoid Syndrome

When a mystical creature appears and acts human

, Veara has made it her duty to make her sister feel normal, and she never used her powers.

"Loriel, I was worried. I was so caught up in studying about the royal Vampires that I forgot about time." Loriel nods.

"Now, I don't care that you were late. I want to know what you know." Veara sighs with uncertainty.

"Loriel, not everything a grown elf knows should be shared with a child elf." Loriel giggles.

"It's a good thing I'm an Elfire!" Veara opens her mouth in amazement.

"Ok, let's get home first. People here like to gossip." When they reach home, Veara show and tells everything, she knows.

"Auntie Veara, how are we supposed to pretend to be Vampires when our ears expose us?"

"You know how humans have fake Elf ears?" Loriel nods.

"Yes-, wait, are you saying they're fake human ears too?!"

"Yep!" Veara reaches over and takes a pair of fake human ears. Veara sighs at the memories it holds. "Mom and dad, your grandparents, used to wear these. They were spies for the Elves when the Infernal Nation split, and the Griffins and Vampires were suspicious of starting the split."

"Were the Vampire and Griffins accusations true?" Veara shakes her head.

"Of course not. Mom and dad refused to believe that they were innocent and stirred up a nation's riot that got our only brother Nesterin killed." Veara shudders at the thought. "I was too young to remember each detail, but I do remember my mom and dad telling Nesterin to abandon his wife and lead the riot, and your mother, who remembers clearly, told me his wife was a faun, and mom and dad wanted all of us to marry Elves."

"Why were your mom and dad so mean?"

"They actually would be great parents," Veara sighs. "If they put away their hate for other mystical creatures. Their hatred for other beings killed Nesterin and themselves. Zuka, his wife, who had just announced her pregnancy, left and never looked back. She used to love playing with Napari and me, and now she hated us, and I haven't seen her since." Loriel hugs Veara softly.

"Maybe we can find Zuka on the journey to Transylvania?" Loriel suggests.

"I don't know I-,"

"Yay! We're like detectives! Finding your brother's wife and the murderers of my mom and kidnappers of my dad!" Veara scoffs softly.

"I guess we're finding her then," Loriel nods over dramatically.

"We have to pass through Fauns and Nymph's Valley to get to Transylvania." Veara nods.

"We'll get to Transylvania in three days."

"Three days?!" Loriel whines.

"Yep, so pack. We're going now."
