16 YEARS LATER

I woke to a brisk summers morning in a small town just outside of New York City in my parents best friend Kachiri and her daughter Quinns apartment.Kachiri has been looking after me since i was a baby since my parents had died in a car accident when i was very younge and i had no other family,Kachiri detto my parents wanted her to look after me anyway.

As i got out of letto to go downstairs i made my way into my bathroom brushed my hair,cleaned my teeth and examined the sapphire dragon that streached from my eyebrow all the way to the bottom of my jaw.Kachiri detto it was like a birthmark in someways but when i asked her how i had gotten it she changed the subject so i choose not to believe her.When i made my way down the hall i meet Kachiri coming out of her room she gave me a smile so i greeted her."Good morning Kachiri."she was making her way into the cucina when she called over her shoulder."Good morning Star,what would te like for breakfast mayby my famous mirtillo pancakes." now that got me thinking Kachirir never made her special pancakes, pancake unless something bad has happened o is going to happen."Well do te want them o not." my head snapped up to see Kachiri da the stove waiting for my answer."Um..since when do u make your pancakes, pancake for breakfast." she looked confused then said."Since its your 16th birthday today stella, star didn't te remember." and with that she turned back to the stove and left me to my thoughts could i have really forgotten my 16th birthday.

When Kachiri gave me my pancakes, pancake she sat opposite me deep in thought staring of into spazio when she startled me da saying."There are some things i have to tell you.""i know te do." i replied with a smile but horror croosed her face so i said."What.. whenever te make pancakes, pancake te have to tell me something." she let out a breath and relief washed over her."There are many things i have to tell te so please don't talk until i am finished." she detto seriously so i just nodded and she started."First i want to tell te about me and Quinn.You know those stories i used to tell te about the people of a secret kingdom with witches,people who could change into animali and vampires, well to make it less complecated.Me and Quinn are shapeshifters." i choked back a bit of pancake when she detto that and said."You mean you....and Quinn can turn into an animal." "Well not just any animal it would depend on the characteristics of the person looking mostly like the animal.Let me try and make this simpler i have long black hair and amber coloured eyes so i can turn into a black lion the lion gyne runs in my family." "But lions are not black." i detto questionably she gave a soft smile."Yes well because the lion gyne runs down my family line it does not matter what colour your hair is i would still be a lion anyway." "So that would make Quinn a white lion because of her white hair and blue eyes." "Thats right." Starlted i turned to see Quinn just coming through the cucina door she smiled and came and sat beside me."Freaked out yet." She asked her usuall self as always cocky,attitude problem te get the picture."Quinn this is not a time to mess around.The successivo thing i am about to tell te neither te o Quinn know about okay." me and Quinn both nodded so she continued."What i am about to tell you,you cannot tell anyone understand.Right well stella, star your parents are not dead they did not die in a car accident when te were a baby they live in a kingdom kept secret from the outside world because the thing about your parents and the people of the kingdom there not how should i say this.....normal.""What do te mean.""What i mean is stella, star is that your parents are vampires.The rest of the kingdom varies from Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. to witches and to shapeshifters.""So does that make me a vampire." i was shaking now how could i be a vampire i have never even drank blood once in my life."Yes it does.""But i have never had blood before." i saw sympathy in Kachiris eyes when she said."You may be a vampire but with Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. from the royal family they dont really have to drink blood as long as they wear a speacial amulet o ring all the time like the ring te have." Kachiri gave me my ring when i was 10 years old its square with a dragon claw on each corner with a dragon forming the band that holds it on your finger but in the Draghi claws was a huge sapphire."How is this supposed to help.""Vampires cannot go out in the sunlight without a ring o amulet with a gemstone they will turn to ash in the sun.""But even before te gave me this ring i was going outside." i questioned her she sighed."You did not burn up in the sun because even though te are of royal blood your powers protected you.""What are te talking about what powers.And what do te mean da the royal family what has this got to do with me." i was close to tears how could this be happening ,why me?

"Star there is a legendary story to explain all of this would te like me to tell you.""Yes." was all i could say."It all started at the ball of the anniversery of your parents rule as the vampire King and Queen it was beautiful with chandeliers of a thousand crystals hanging from the ceilingand the dancers twirling to the Musica on the dance floor.The King and Queen where mostrare te to the gusests when the lights flickered on and off and a chandilier crashed to the floor,when the guests started to part and your parents quickly saw why a creature with the head of a snake,body of a tiger and tail of a scorpione was approaching them and as it did te began to glow a glow so bright it was almost blinding.The creature stopped a few ffeet away from your parents and spoke a prohpecy:

'The child of the Resmussens,
When turned sixteen,
Will have to furfill her destiney,
For the fate of the world is in her hands,
As she will lead four to the final stand.'

"And with that the creature prohecised that te stella, star would be the one to lead four others to save the world but he also left a reminder so no one would forget so the creature with a paw traced a line down the right side of your face giving te a dragon tattoo and powers beyond your amagination.And as the creature stepped back your glow dimed and the creature dissapeared never to be seen o heard of again."she finished and i had a lot of questions."Why is it called a legend if im still alive.""The people of the kingdom call it a legend because they have Lost faith in te ever returning to the kingdom.""So let me get this straight...im a vampire princess who has to save the world with powers i don't even know about o how to use."Kachiri just smiled at me then said."Well for starters i am taking te back to where te belong.Im am tacking te to the kingdom today so go and pack."and with that she left the room then the realisation of it hit me i felt physicaly sick i.was.a.vampire.
