I brush my daughter's hair as she takes a nap, her head on my lap. We've been riding this train for almost an hour and Mor gets easily tired on long trips—she slept the entire way from New York to England. It's a miracle she doesn't fall asleep when driving. Which I've found out she does, she also has gone to car races and on several occasions competed in them. Myrtle promised me she would be safe and does any of that sound safe? No.

When the train stops, I pick my daughter up grabbing her duffel bag before heading out. My daughter snuggles in my embrace, it's times as this that I savor. I wish I was there when she was physically younger, I've missed so much. I hate it.

I get a taxi and as we wait, my phone goes off and I see it's Demetri. He wants to tell me that the kings have a newborn roaming around the area in London, anther Jack the Ripper. It took a while to end the first Jack the Ripper who was actually a Jacqueline the Ripper since it was a woman who was turned into a vampire. She hated whores since one took her husband from her, especially those who got abortions. So using her new vampirism she tortured then killed the whores.

A taxi comes up and once it stops, out comes an old man with white hair "Felix and Morrigan Volturi?" He asks

"Hello" I greet going over "long trip"

"I can only imagine" he says "Sicily? Your accent"

"Close" getting in the back "Italy, a small town near the top of the country. My daughter is American though"

"Travel for business?" He asks

"Constantly" confirming as Mor rolls over putting her face in my chest shivering, I grab my scarf and wrap it around her neck. I told her to grab a scarf but did she? No. "I recently got a job in London so hopefully my daughter will be able to make friends"

"That's good" he says "this her first time going to boarding school?"

"It is" I confirm "with me traveling so much my daughter never gets the chance to make friends at a school, she's been mostly home schooled"

We talk for about thirty minutes before coming up to some place "Alright Mr. Volturi, we're here" I shake my daughter's shoulder "which house do you need to be?"

"House of Anubis" I tell him

Mor wakes up groaning "Five more minutes"

Chuckling "Wake up, we're here" she opened her eyes getting up looking around before seeing the school.

"Holy fuck!" I cover my mouth amused "this is way my grand than online!"

Once the car stops, we get out and I head the normal things I usually hear "Woah! Look at the size of that man!"

"The house is this way" the cab driver motions, I motion Mor to come along.

"You can sight see later" I tell her, she nods her head as we go by when a bell rings.

"This is it" the man waves, I give him some cash "cheerio"

"So" I ask her "what do you think?"

"No words" she and I go up to the door, I knock since Mor gets a text "Uh...It's Myrtle"

"What does she want?" I demand

Shrugging her shoulders "Wishing me good luck with school" the door opens to a man in his late thirties if I had to guess with dark hair, facial hair, blue eyes and sand colored skin.

"Who" he is dressed in a suit "are you?"

"I'm Felix Volturi" I introduce myself "this is my daughter Morrigan Volturi"

The man checks his pocket watch, not something you normally see. Mor just looks between us "Your late Miss Volturi...by month" showing us his pocket watch

"Bureaucratic matters" I explain aka I had to track down a rogue newborn with Demetri and it took longer than anticipated, then you have Demetri being nosy, then there's my daughter's criminal file since when Myrtle created the papers and background she forgot that there were cameras that caught her in Rio, lastly the money used was from the money her mother gave her and her uncle found out and demanded to meet Morrigan. Didn't even know Morrigan had a human uncle that was alive, Natasha told me that she had a brother but he was dead to her. So I'm in the process of dealing with my daughter's inheritance since Natasha is gone.

"Come in" he motions to the house "I am Victor Rosenmaar, the caretaker of this establishment"

"Are you a descendant" my daughter asks "if the Victor Rodenmaar who founded this school with Rufus Zeno and Sarah Frobisher-Smythe the daughter of Robert and Louise Frobisher-Smythe?"

This man looks impressed "Why yes I am, that Victor was my grandfather. You know your history"

"My daughter" I tell him "particularly loved Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek history and mythology—it's why she chose this school rather than a local one in London" she smiles shrugging her shoulders.

"Victor Rodenmaar" we look up to see a woman in her twenties, have short black hair, dark eyes and honey colored skin come downstairs with another teenager with long light brown hair, beige skin and blue eyes "I hope your being nice to our new guests!" She smiles coming up before us "well as warm as he gets, anyway. Hello sweetie, I'm Trudy Rehman your house-mother. Welcome to Anubis House"

"Hello" Mor greets

"Your American" the one girl speaks excitedly "like me! Hi I'm Nina, Nina Martin. American obviously" she motions to her voice.

"I'm Mor, Morrigan Volturi but call me Mor and this is my father Felix" Mor introduces us

"Nina" Trudy tells us "also arrived today as well, we were just about to give her a tour of the house. Come along you both, nothing more fun than meeting new friends! Now" she motions the girls to go one way, Victor and I are behind them "this is the living room through here sweetie"

"Everything" Nina comments "is so old and beautiful, this house must have" I notice Mor walk towards a painting of a couple "a ton of stories"

"Is this" Mor asks "a painting of the original owners Robert and Louise Frobisher-Smythe?"

"Who?" Nina asks walking over to stand next to Mor.

"Mr and Mrs Frobisher-Smythe" Victor tells her "the original inhabitants, they died a very tragic accident"

Trudy lets out a nervous laugh "Always upbeat! Now girls" she motions to a dining area "this is where I serve breakfast and supper"

"Did you" I ask "get my little note about my daughter's condition?"

Nodding their heads "We did"

Nina looks confused so Mor tells her "I don't need to eat every meal every day, I can go a days without eating food and be fine" lie, but it's a good enough excuse as to why Mor isn't eating every day at every time.

"You didn't have to tell me" Nina assured her

Shrugging her shoulders "I don't have anything to be ashamed of"

"Right" Trudy nods her head "shall I show you girls where you'll be sleeping? Your both roommates with one other girl"

"Is it ready?" Victor asks

Nodding her head "Yes, they've cleared it"

He nods his head "Very well, follow me please Miss Martin and Miss Volturi" we follow him until Nina stops seeing a photo.

"Who are these?" Nina asks

"Well this one in the far left" Trudy was about to explain but stops when Victor cuts her off "when you are quite ready" taking the photo with him.

"You girls are lucky to be in this house" Trudy tells the girls "it is the best out of all four, despite Mr. Loveable"

We go into the main hall "Boys rooms downstairs" going up the stairs "we don't want anyone wandering around after nine o clock and all lights must be out by ten" he points to an office with windows "this is my room which, needless to say is strictly out of bounds" he puts the photo in there.

"Are there any other places" Mor asks "that Nina and I can't go?"

"Why yes" he confirms "the attic and cellar are strictly forbidden"

"This way" Trudy motions as we go through a door.

"What's up there?" Nina asks looking down a hall that goes to a door.

"That's the door to the attic" Trudy explains

"Your girls room is this way" Victor motions to one room, we see three beds in here.

When Trudy closes the door, I notice a photo "Who's that?" Nina asks

"Oh! That's Joy and Patricia" Trudy informs us pointing to who is who.

"Joy" Victor grabs the photo before crumpling it up and throwing it away "has left"

"Rather suddenly and unexpectedly" Trudy adds "if I any say so"

"You may not" Victor says "your trunks have arrived, I shall leave you girls to unpack"

"If you don't mind" I tell them "I'll stay and help my daughter unpack her things

"We don't mind" Trudy assured me as the two leave

|Mor's POV|

"Is that" I ask looking at a photo of a middle aged human "your mother?"

Nina nods her head "It is"

It's been about an hour since arriving to Anubis  House, dad and I have a mini refrigerator for my blood bags which I'll have to be discreet about. So far dad and I have managed to put my new comforter which had a dragon and a wolf design that I love with this new dragon designed carpet and a bean bag chair/couch that has a a wolf on it and fur! This room is quite big for the stuff.

"What about your mom?" She asks motioning to the one photo I have of mom and dad "is that your mom?"

"It is" nodding my head, I have her eyes and her beauty as dad tells me. She had near black hair that she loved to dye a dirty blonde or a light brown. She had warm beige skin and from what dad told me she had a big heart and loved me so much.

(Natasha Swan)

"Joy? I've been" the door opens and in comes that Patricia, our other roommate. She's taller than I thought she would he, for some reason I picked her being only five foot but no. Without the heels she's a good five foot three, maybe four "who are you people?"

"I'm Nina" Nina says all enthusiastically "good to meet you, America obviously" that girl doesn't seem to care.

"Who cares!" She snaps "where are Joy's things? What's going on?" Dad and I share a look "did you" she grabs the photo that was thrown away "so this?"

"No, I just got here" Nina tried to explain

"Dovremmo aiutarla?" Should we help? I ask dad

He shakes his head no "Hey! What are you doing? Please stop!" Nina goes after her when Patricia grabbed her things then throws them out "Victor told us that Joy had left!"

"Without this?" Patricia demands holding up a phone with the name Joy on it "this is her phone! Did you steal it?"

"Not a great strategy" Nina says "for making friends. Show up and steal stuff?"

"Se si comporta in questo modo nei miei confronti, questo mi dà una scusa per usare i miei poteri?" If she acts this way towards me, does that give me an excuse to use my powers? I ask dad

Dad gives me a look "Che ne pensi?" What do you think?

Sighing "No"

"I don't know who you are or where you've come from" Patricia yells "but you are not my roommate! Joy is! Now where is she?"

"Enough!" Dad's voice books our having them flinch "you girl"

"It's Patricia" she dares say to dad

"Put away that attitude right now" dad orders from her "my daughter and this girl just arrived today, the room was empty. So go find out from someone else about your friend instead of interrogating this girl"

"Patricia Williamson" Victor comes over "what is going on?"

"That's what I'd like to know" she snaps

"I believe a phone call with your parents" dad says "is in order, this behavior isn't what I want around my daughter"

"No one needs to call my parents!" She yells at my dad "where's Joy?"

"Joy has left" Victor tells her

"What do you mean?" She glares at me and Nina and dad has to keep me from punching her.

"Her parents" Victor tells her "came to school this afternoon and removed her"

"But that's impossible" she complains "why would they do that?"

"Probably to keep their daughter from you" dad says "I sure as hell don't want you anywhere near my daughter" looking at Victor "how much will it cost to keep this girl from sharing a room with my daughter"

"You can't kick me out of my own room!" Patricia yells

"Be quiet!" Dad's voice booms staring at her "you will speak when spoken to! You need to learn respect young lady and I expect your parents be called up immediately to be told about this behavior!"

"Patricia come with me right now" Victor orders pulling Patricia along "get your things back in you room Miss Martin"
