Chapter One
"Mommy, can I play with Ashleigh?" Natalie asked.

"Sure, honey," I smiled while handing my two-year-old daughter to my five-year-old one.

Natalie hugged her little sister, then they started playing peek-a-boo.

"Ahh!" Holly yelled. "Mommy! Daddy! Ethan cut Swan Princess Barbie's hair off!"

"Ethan, say sorry."

"Sorry, Holly," my only son apologized. Being Natalie and Holly's triplet, he was also five, and twice as mischevious.

I had my kids quite young. The triplets at sixteen, Ashleigh at nineteen. No, the triplets weren't my husband's biological children, but they were his in every other way. They didn't know about their biological father, and I didn't intend to ever tell them.

It's a long story. Let's just say the triplets were conceived in a one-night stand.

"Eww, Ashleigh pooped," Natalie complained.

Ashleigh, of course, started crying over her diaper.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" She was such a daddy's girl. It was always Nick she whined for, even if I was standing right there.

Nick chuckled, his blue eyes lighting up with laughter. He then picked Ashleigh up, brought her to the changing table, and got her a fresh diaper.

Man, I absolutely couldn't wait until she was potty-trained.

"Daddy," Ashleigh smiled, hugging her father. Nick smiled back at her, affectionately tucking her brown hair behind her ear.

That was when a monster showed up.

"Mommy, Daddy!" Holly screamed. "Help me!"

Nick and I were there in about two seconds. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw what was going on.

A Fury was viciously attacking my baby. Shaking her, shoving her, and pulling her hair. I leapt into action when the Fury threw Holly across the street. Literally.

"AAARRGGGHHHH!" I screeched while charging at the Fury with the sharpest sword we owned. "THAT'S MY DAUGHTER! NOBODY HURTS MY DAUGHTER AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!"

I showed the sword through the Fury's skull without any hesitation whatsoever. It turned into gold dust.

Holly ended up in the hospital with a broken arm and some minor cuts and bruises from being thrown so far. After they treated her, the whole family immediately drove to camp. The only safe place for people like us.

The next morning, I was playing with Ethan when I heard Natalie's curious voice.

"Hey, Mommy, who's that?" she asked.

I looked where she was pointing and froze when I saw the guy standing there.

Tall, slim, pale. Blonde hair, hazel-blue eyes. I would know him anywhere.

Stefan.
