It was one o’ clock in theand I was surprised to find that I wasn’t one bit tired The perks of being a vampire I held my

tiny daughter in my arms and Jonathon held our son I kneeat them

I gently rubbed olden curls She was an exact replica of her father except for her green eyes that she got from me

“What are we going to name her?” asked Jonathon

I smiled at her “I don’t know You pick I picked Byren you can pick her name I know I’ll love it,” I said

He was thoughtful for a time and then said, “Makenna Makenna Katherine Rose”

I glanced over at him “It’s perfect,” I smiled I kissed her tiny pink cheek “My little Makenna” She stirred in her sleep and I smiled I saw her silver symbol flash and I turned to Jonathon “How come her symbol and mine are silver? Everyone else’s is black”

Jonathon laid Ren down in the basinet and then tugged his shirt off

I gasped The symbol on his abdomen had turned from black to silver “When did that happen?”

“While you were… changing”

“Oh,” I gasped “Has anyone else’s changed?”

“No,” he put his shirt back on

“Why us?”

“I have no idea Ren doesn’t have one At least not yet It’s all very strange”
