"What people?" I asked
"Vampires," he sounded disgusted.
"I think I'll feel safer living with you." I answered his question.
"I thought so... you should probably go tell June and Mike and your two little friends though." he said
"Right..." I said as I got up and opened the door. I walked back down the stairs with my dad at my heels.
"Cecilia!" I heard everybody say as I entered the room. "What’s wrong," added my parents at the same time.
"I'm moving," I said then looked around at all the shocked faces. “Not that I don't like living here." I added trying to make them feel better. I didn't like hurting them.
My parents-I mean Jane and mike got up and stormed out of the room and my real dad followed them.
"Why are you moving?" Jason asked me as Jon left.
"Because it’s safer for you guys and me if I move...” I think I may have said too much.
"Safer?? How is it going to be safer?? It’s not like some murderous killer is going to come running in your house at any second." Claire said sounding mad at me.
"You don't know that!" I whispered.
"And you do??" Jason asked.
"What? No I don't but I have to leave to protect you guys." I said
"Protect us? Protect us from what?!? Are you keeping secrets from us now we never keep secrets...?” Claire said.
"Oh. Really, then when were you two planning on telling me you were dating??" I asked
"Well...” Claire started.
"You weren't were you?" I yelled. Then my real dad whispered something in my ear. "Jason likes you and Claire was being persistent she wanted to make you jealous. That’s all she ever wanted is to steal things from you. She blackmailed Jason so he would go out with her and she wanted to ruin your birthday."
"Claire, are you serious? You wanted to ruin my life! Well you did its ruined now." I started crying and ran out of the living room and up to mine. I was surprised to find all my stuff packed already.
My real dad came in and zapped it all out of their. "Are you ready? If you are you'd better go say goodbye." he said
I ran downstairs. My parents, the ones I'd lived with for the past sixteen years, and brother were waiting by the door.
"Please don't go!" cried my mom. "I don't want my baby to leave me!"
"I'm sorry I have to go..." I whispered "good-bye" I turned and walked out the door.

"Wait, Cecilia you forgot to open your presents." I heard Jon say when I got to my dad's car.
I had almost forgotten it was my birthday. Jon walked up to me and pulled me back to the house. We walked side by side to the kitchen where my presents were waiting.
The first one I opened was from my m-I mean June, that's going to take a while to get used to; It is a new cell phone. The next one I opened was tiny, it was...
"Keys," I asked.
"Yes we bought you a car...” my dad said. I looked at him and he looked sad.
"Oh... um...thanks." they bought me a car and I was ditching them... I started crying.
"Hey it’s okay, now you have a ride to come visit us in." said Jon as Jason entered the room and handed me a present.
I opened it and saw a key chain in the shape of a heart. "Thanks," I said not looking at him. Then Jon handed me a box that was kind of heavy.
"It’s not a box of rocks this year is it??" I asked him. Last year that's what he got me. Then again last year he didn't have any money.
He laughed. "Open it and find out." he said so I did. It wasn't rocks it was a lab top. "So you can keep in touch." he smiled.
"Um... thanks Jon. you were always the best brother..." I said crying yet again.
"Shall we have some cake?" said June; her voice braking. I ran over to her and hugged her. Then she went and got the cake.
We finished with the cake and said our good-byes. Jason had went home right after eating his and without a good-bye...My dad left before him without eating any cake and I have no idea when Claire left nor to I care.
I went outside and looked around for my new car. Then I saw it. It was gold Porsche. That must have cost them a fortune! I got in and pulled out of the driveway.
Then I stopped. I had no idea where my dad lived. Just then he came around the corner and I followed him back to his house.
Once inside I decided to ask him about the vampires that wanted me dead.
"So why exactly do vampires want to kill me??" I said as he turned and looked at me.
"Not all vampires to just one and she’s making an army." he said and then took a deep breath like he did for the last story he was telling me. "Her name is Hannah. Yes the same Hannah that was invited to your party. She is your Ancestor. About one hundred nine years ago Hannah's daughter was going to be crowned queen of the magic world. Hannah wanted to stay queen forever so she went to the vampires’ coven and asked them to change her. They did...
"After she was changed she went and sucked her daughter dry... What she didn't know was that a few months before her daughter had given birth to twins and married...”
"Hannah was sent to live with the vampires and Chance was crowned king...” He took another deep breath then continued. "She has been going around killing the royal family off and YOU have to be the one to stop her...”
"Why me," I asked.
"Because you are stronger than me; I knew that when I saw you at your party." he said and smiled...
"I am not strong enough. I'm weak..."
"No. you’re just tired you should get some sleep. I'll show you to your room." he sounded confident that I was strong.
We walked up the stairs of his mansion and to the right was my bedroom. I think. Yes diffidently my bedroom I recognized my stuff.
He left me alone. I went and fell backwards on my bed and thought of how the day had started out as a dream and led to it coming true...
Then everything went black and I fell into a dreamless sleep...
I woke up early that morning and lay in bed thinking it was all a dream and decided to see for myself. I opened my eyes and knew at once it wasn't...
My surroundings were different than at my old place. The walls and ceiling were covered in pink. I hate that color but the way it looked in the room didn't bother me. It looked good. My blankets were gold along with the mirror and picture frames. The pictures were of beautiful oceans and beaches and my friends and family from home.
A beautiful wooden desk sat across the room; it looked like an antique. In the center of the room on the ceiling hung in the middle of the room is a chandelier. It is black with little gold spots sparkling against the little light coming from the window. The curtains are white and open letting the rising sun come in the windows.
I can't believe I didn't notice this last night. I decided to check out the rest of the house. I got up and ran to the corner where my dresser sat and picked out my clothes for today. I put on a pair of faded black skinny jeans and a dark red tang-top.
I went to the first door I seen, there are three of them, and opened it is the bathroom. The bathroom looks similar to the bedroom except it was a bathroom. The next door is a walk in closet loaded with clothes. I'll take a look at them later.
I opened the last door and saw the hall. As I started walking down it I heard someone calling my name from behind me. I turned and saw somebody that looked around my age I didn't recognize. He has shaggy dark brown hair and bright green eyes.
"Um... Do I know you? You look familiar??" I asked as he started to stop a few feet away.
He laughed. "No. My name is Paul Hyble." he said holding out his hand for me to shake. He is kind of cute I thought to myself. He smiled down at me.
"Oh. Okay." I said and returned his smile. "What do you want?"
"Your father, Jerry, sent me to get you up." he said then added "I didn't think you'd be up this early. I thought I'd have to wake you and have to listen to you whine and be cranky." he laughed
"Nope you didn't have to. Does he want to see me for something?" I asked hoping the answer was a no.
"No, he sent me to start teaching you. You are going to start school at Stonewall High, School of Witches and Wizards. I know named after your family, but you'll get used to It." he said and we laughed at the name. "Come on I'll take you to the training room," he added.
"Okay," I said kind of nervous.
When he opened the door to the training room I gasped. I was big and had lots of different things hanging from the ceiling-no wait it wasn't hanging it was floating there in the air. Other than that it looked like Gym to a school but with brick walls and flooring.
"Shall we get started." he asked walking to the middle of the room and pulling out a wand.
"Don't I need one of those?" I asked and he started laughing.
"No, you are part of the royal family,
