The child grew quickly, today was her apperent thirteenth birthday. Erin and Sinka were preparing everything and Erin was sent to wake Roksi. She shook her adopted daughter gently "Wake up Roksi! Sun's kiss!" Roksi opened her eyes and said quietly "There's no kiss.." She sat up and scratched her ears. Roksi streatched and said "Ill be right down." She got up and got dressed. She wore a plain black tunic with a moon sewn in it, and grayish leggings. She looked in the mirror and stared at her reflection. 'How long have I had fangs?' she thought to herself, her smile turning into a frown. 'My ears, theyre darker gray now.. and this acursed tail!' She looked at herself again and sighed. "Nothing I can do about it" Roksi said aloud. She walked to where her parents were. "Happy Birthday!" Erin and Sinka shouted in unison. "Thanks" Roksi said happily to her vampire parents.
"Whats a birthday without somthing sweet?"
"I dunno"
"It was a retorical question Roksi!" Sinka said smiling her put a necklece in front of her. It had the cresent moon in silver and was surounded by sapphires and rubies, the moon had three tiny emralds embedded in it. "Whats this?" Roksi asked picking the beautiful necklace up.
"I made it for you!" Erin said softly "Do ya like it?"
"I love it!" Roksi said putting it around her neck. Roksi gave her parents both a hug. Sinka spoke up "Make sure you're not late!" He whispered
"Don't worry Dad, I don't plan on it!" Roksi ran back to her room. She changed into her maid uniform, she wore it when she worked in the castle as a cook and cleaner. Roksi quickly ran downstairs, she flashed a smile at her parents and closed the door behind her.
Roksi plodded through the outskirts of the city, it was a cloudy day. She looked as the houses gradually grew larger, the castle wassoon spotted and she sped up her walk. Roksi continued, she opened the secret entrance on the side of the castle's north wall. Her sight grew dim and she had to blink afew times fo her eyes to ajust. Roksi was greeted by several other maids. "Happy Birthday, Sweetie!" Said Xavia giving Roksi a tight hug. She let go and held out Roksi's apron. "Sorry but King Jarod wants his rom cleaned, NOW!" Xavia paused "He would only settle for you." She winked and continued cooking. Roksi, now scared to go to Jarod, but it was her responsibilty. She walked up the stairs of the castle, and knocked on the king's door. She opened it when she heard a voice say 'Come in' Roksi looked around the dark room, Jarod was sitting in his purple linen chair. Roksi smiled "Shall I get started Sir?" She curtsied as she said that. Jarod laughed "You dare approch me with suh familiarity?" He stood up, walked up to Roksi and slapped her. "YOu b***h, nothing more than an abomination!" He spit on her shoes. Roksi stood up not saying a word, she began to clean. Several drained animals and humans alike were lying on the floor. Roksi wrinkled her nose at the stench, she picked up what she could and threw the carcasses outside the door. Jarod simply sat and chuckled evilly. After four hours, the tedious task was complete. Roksi bowed on her way out, she left quickly. She walked past a boy. Wait. She turned around, he had ears and a tail of a fox, like her. She chased after him "Wait..." She mumbled putting her hand on his shoulder. he boy turned around, he gasped when her saw her, "Who... What are you?" He asked with a shaky voice.
"I-I'm Roksi, daughter of Sinka and Erin, at your service!" She smiled playfully and bowed. The boy laughed slightly "Well then, Roksi, Im Ryan. But.." He paused, thinking "Are you from here? You were born to those vampure feinds?" Roksi scowled at him "They're not all feinds! My parents are the nicest people!" She turned and left Ryan there.
