Risa POV
I cry exhausted, I'm dying but I won't until I see him. I have to see him take our babies to safety. I'm scared. I cuddle protecting my two babies with all my will, heart, life and body. They cried but I managed to feed them to sleep. It's strange, I can feel the end near but I am not as afraid as I thought I would be. I had quite a good life.
-Mary Angelique Lily. Marie Evangeline Rose. Dad will be here soon.
I get up and I go towards the door. The silence right now is weird, uneasy. When I get out the door everything is in a bad state, dirty or broken. Still, I don't see nobody here or hear for that matter.
Hope grows in me as I grab my babies and so I try to run away and back home. It doesn't really matter as long as I get far from here and danger. I walk slowly to avoid waking the babies. I can hear my heartbeat loudly in my ears. Every sound, every breeze of the wind startles me and I'm constantly looking over my shoulder.

I get tired quickly but I still force myself to walk through these hallways. I get out of the buildings and I go towards nature and the trees. Park, forest or garden, I don't care what it is but I want the calm of nature, I need it now. I don't know how but I just keep going while ignoring everything else while being alert. Never thought I could do opposite things at the same time. I get the creeps when it starts getting dark and every leave and bird scares me until one time I get touched. Is hard and on my leg, rubbing against it. I'm afraid to look. When I remember to breath my legs give so I fall seated on the ground.
-Oh. I was not expecting you two.
I let my babies down relaxed to see how their respective dragons wrap defensively against and around them. I expected three babies but seeing two dragons, I heard and I know but I'll be with them soon. Mal's dragon has scales that feel hard, like a fish while Mer's dragon is softer, like a bird. Other than that I don't see any difference. They look alike completely until you look closer. I lay down on the ground cuddling one with my arms and the other with my legs. I let myself fall asleep at last.

Blaze Bennett POV 32
I ride quickly, my dragon follows my sister's smell and her dragon. Is close to home but even so I see how on the last of it, he turns away from the fight in our destination.
-Hey, what are you doing? You turned away from................
I stop when he growls, half annoyed half happy. He found something important and I see them after he lands. Two little dragons and a woman. I run towards them but is too late.
-Risa.
I grab her on my arms, lifeless, I cry for a while before my babies cry for my attention. They're wrapped in wraps but clean and I'm glad she cared for them even while being scared and in danger and alone. I grab them in my arms one after the other for a bit before I leave them. I'm going to get rid of the danger.
-Stay with them. I'll be fine.
Xochiquetzal POV  26
I push the guy with a powerful quick through the wall. When I follow to get him off I just stop, surprised to see my brother there holding him down to the floor. He holds him immobile and then he screams to him. He's not yelling but still, this scream is not normal, I'm afraid and even my dragon is bowing down to my brother. Dragons only respect their master. I look at my brother toying with him, torturing him. He's too cold and composed while the guy just keeps attacking and failing to hit him. He keeps it up for a while until he gets tired of it. He doesn't evade the sword but stop it with his bare hand and breaks it. The guy tries to run away but Blaze grabs him by the neck and I dash forward and stab him right through the heart all the way deep until the blade's handle touches his chest.
I take out the blade and stab him again in several different directions. I'm going to turn his heart into tiny little bits. After he dies and the adrenaline wears of I break crying.

Blaze Bennett POV 32
I let everything go and kneeling I hold my sisters's face by the cheeks.
-Hey.
Xo-Heh.
She laughs while crying until she calms down.
Xo-You are so annoying.
-Come here.
Of all my siblings I'm the tallest at 7 feet and she's the shortest at 5 feet. She always hugs me with her arms around my neck. Being taller than me comforts both of us and thankfully because she went so deep that she stabbed me as well.
-Now then, go home and rest. I have to get some things done before I catch up with you all.
Xo-Come with me.
-I want to be alone for a bit. Besides, you have to get ready to do my hair when I get home.
She brights up and she goes away quickly mumbling about everything she wants to do.
My dragon comes for me soon after but this time my babies and wife are on top of him, no doubt the baby dragons did this. So we go home at last.
At home I find my siblings there and dad. Everybody is there and I don't like it but I don't have the energy to fight. I grab Risa's body myself and just like that I give her to my eldest sister. My newborn babies knowingly go with the other two eldest sisters. I go with my dad to my room.
AC-Let it all out.
His first words to me.
-I already did.
AC-So, what do you need me for?
-The killing blow hurt me as well. Heal it like it would on a human but, you know, faster.
AC-Oh. What, your opponent did this to you?
-No. X did it. She dealt the killing blow so deep in him it got me too. I was holding him for her.
AC-It certainly doesn't look like her.
-Human healing.
He only looks at me knowingly and keeps cleaning my wound.

Xochiquetzal POV - 26
I leave home to go for a ride. I need to get away from everybody and everything. My sweet dragon is just as supportive of me as I am of her. We're a part of each other so we understand each other completely. In our current state she takes me to my favorite beach in the Caribbean, Puerto Rican Survival Beach is my favorite in the world. Is mostly quiet, hard to get there, calm and the name reminds me in a way that I can survive anything.
For bigger effect I jump from my dragon to the water. I glimpse her landing on the beach at the same time I hit the water. I close my eyes so it doesn't stings and when I feel upright I open them to enjoy the underwater view. Amazing. I take my time getting to the beach.
Neena POV  - 15
I sit resting from my gymnastics training for today. I don't want to go home yet. I don't want to go home at all. My cousins and my eldest sister changed ever since their kidnappings and five deaths. Two unborn babies and three adults.
In the locker room I only put my shorts over my uniform before I head out with everybody.
Once out of the gates I break towards the forest, deep into it.
?-What took you so long? Practice has been over for a while now.
He kisses me deeply leaving me unable to answer but able to forget everything besides him.
-Oh, how I needed that.
He just chuckles to himself and I hug him tightly.
-We have to tell dad about us.
?-I told you already. You just have to give me a time, place and some insight of him.
The truth hits me fully at last but I don't have much courage for that.
-Let me think it over. I need more time.
?-But.......
I run away and I can tell he's watching me from afar. It bothers me but I'm glad he respects my wishes and stays away. When I get home he's already gone. I have to laugh at the irony.
DJ-Glad to see you happy.
-Dad. You're here.
DJ-And you're late.
-I needed to think, alone.
Less than an hour ago I was embraced by my boyfriend, now by my father.
-I'm sorry. Sorry for being such a disappointment.
DJ-I am not disappointed in you. I love you and there is nothing in the world that can separate me from any of my daughters. Nothing.
-Oh. No.
I let go of him and run upstairs to my room.
DJ-Neena! NEENA!!!
I ignore everything and everyone for the remainder of the evening. Oh, how I hate being so sensitive.
I don't realize I fell asleep until I get woken up.

Is only after sunset, the moment before darkness takes over. I rub my eyes before I look over, not surprised to see dad there.
-Hi.
DJ-I got you dinner. Do you feel better?
-Mostly.
DJ-Do you want to talk about it?
-Yes.
Even though I say it I eat silently.
-I don't know how to say it.
As usual, he gets comfortable. So, he stretches out in my bed beside me poking my pillow and bed lazily.
DJ-I can guess at it if you want.
I laugh at his idea. I seen him doing it before. He jokes with serious and embarassing topics until we can actually tell him.
-You never guess anyway.
DJ-I'm bound to guess once at least. I have ten daughters and endless opportunities to guess.
-You are halfway wrong.
DJ-Did you bleed your school uniform today?
-Of course not.
Only when he asks I realize why that's his first guess. I'm wearing my gym clothes instead of my normal school clothes.
-I had gymnastics class with that absent.
DJ-Then you're acting weird if is not bleeding time. Did somebody tell you anything offensive?
-No, quite the opposite actually.
He doesn't guess but I can't help but remember him, his kisses, his hugs, the way he speaks to me.
DJ-Neena.
I look at him. He's seriously looking at me now.
DJ-Do you have a boyfriend?
-Oh.
I look away slightly ashamed. I didn't think he would actually guess. Then again, I'm not that good at keeping secrets for long. I feel how he holds me to him now.
DJ-Is always unexpected and mostly, I don't want it but is bound to happen someday to all of you.
-I was afraid you wouldn't let me date anybody.
DJ-Why?
-I don't know.
DJ-Anyways, how long you been dating?
-Roughly two weeks but we met two years ago. We just didn't do much, I am not as social as he is.
DJ-Really.
-He told me that's one of the things he likes about me.
DJ-What age is he?
-19. He's starting his third year at college. Oh, he's studying to be a teacher. That is a safe job, right?
DJ-I guess if he likes it.
-He does. He is like and Oreo cookie.
DJ-What? How?
-They're hard on the outside but soft on the inside obviously.
DJ-Obviously.
-Have you eaten an Oreo before? They are like that.
DJ-I know. Tell him to come first chance he gets. We have to meet. I'll set up a family meeting so invite his family too.
-Ok.
DJ-Go to sleep now. Again.
I let him tuck me in bed. Enjoying being  daddy's little girl even with the tiniest of things. He leaves with the tray now empty of food but I'm still happy.

The next day I tell him everything after school. It was a very slow paced day but it was worth the wait. We actually go on a date to speak and celebrate.

The day of the reunion comes quickly and is quite excellent. My sister Nadia and the youngest four after me come to the reunion. Dad reserves the VIP room at his own restaurant by closing time. Is Saturday so I help out. Until Nadia comes.
Nadia-Neena, you should be home dressing up.
-I'm already here.
Na-You have to dress up too. So come with me and I'll help you.
-But.........
DJ-Go with your sister. NOW!
He grabs the trays from me so my sister can take me away. I let it happen because after all, I want it too.
-Thank you.
Nadia-Quickly.
I take a shower when I get home and then we try dresses.
Nadia-So, I chose age apropiate dress but still sexy and modest.
-Hard to fit but possible.
Nadia-First this one. Blue spring dress, is actually turquoise top tied around the neck, white fluffy bottom with a turquoise edge. The top is zipper.
-Ok.
I put on the dress and try it with the mirror.
-I love it but not today.
Na-Next one then. Is a long white and tight to enhance your innocence and purity.
-I definitely don't want that one. Cute but no.
Na-Lucky you to chose the third dress. I saved the best one for last.
She grabs it out behind the door and shows it to me.
-You were indeed saving the best for last.
Is grey with sparkle details on the edges and some. Solid grey, tight, short to the knee. The back, arms and neck are styled to see through. I jump happy before I try it on.
-Oh, I like this one.
Na-I knew it. That's why I chose it for last. Let's go then.
I nod and so we leave. Now is the time.
