 Grant opened his eyes and examined his surroundings with a still head and darting eyes. He looked at Piper who layed next to him, arm crossed over his chest. He quietly and quickly detached himself from Piper, then quickly dressed himself. He grabbed a few leaves from his backpack and wiped them over his clothes. They were special leaves with special properties, able to hide his scent even from the strongest nose. 
 
 It took some time but Grant eventually found the house he was looking for. It was slightly out of the way, and if he didnt know better he would have passed it. But there was no mistake, this house hid the vampire who he called father. Grant prepared himself mentally. For a very long time he dreamt of this moment. He was sure he wanted, was sure that this was the best way to exact revenge. He practically threw himself over to the dark arts of assassination for this day. He knew his father was very old, and suppose to be strong, but other than that he had no idea what he was dealing with. Grant finished preparing himself and started his plan of attack.
 
 Garrett layed in the hammock with Tabitha, content. [color=004b80]"Tabby, I am so happy to be here right now. Only thing that could make this moment better is like..a gallon of blood."[/color]

Tabitha smiled, quite happy. [color=f7941d]"I'm so happy too"[/color] She thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a time where she may have been happier. She was always happy when she turned someone, just hugging them as they went through, and her projects made her happy. But this was different. [color=f7941d]"mmm Maybe we should stock pile blood"[/color]

Piper awoke to hear Grant take off at top speed.  A little injured that he didn't stick around to at least say something to her she went back to the park and changed then ran back. She had questions for her uncle and aunt.

Piper found them laying in the hammock out back. She walked right up to them. She noticed how happy they were and she just knew they would have an answer.[color=fff200] "I need to ask you guys something...."[/color] She took a deep breath.[color=fff200] "Is there something real called love at first sight that is truly real or that whole soul mates thing? Do they really exist? Because if so, I think I just met mine and I'm really confused.. Does it exist and how do you know?"[/color]

Tabitha looked up at Pipers approach, thoughtfully trying to figure out how to answer that question. Or questions, rather. But the answer all amounted to the same thing. [color=f7941d]"I think the fact your asking those questions....is a good start. But....I don't know. I think anything is possible, in this world..."[/color] These questions just brought up questions for herself, and she frowned, puzzling over it. [color=f7941d]"But is it love, or lust, Piper?"[/color]

Piper looked at Tabitha.[color=fff200] "I've never felt lust like that before. I was drawn to him and I practically raped him. However, you can't rape the willing." [/color]She blushed intently. [color=fff200]"He said his name is Grant and he is here to kill his father. He is vampire but other than that...I don't know anything about him really. He took off on me as I was waking up."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Maybe that is something different then."[/color] Tabitha said thoughtful, letting her mind wander, which was a good way to let herself think rather then trying to follow one single thought, she frowned [color=f7941d]"Why is everyone trying to kill everyone else suddenly?"[/color] She asked, but it was merely a thinking out loud, she didn't expect an answer. 

Grant was on the roof, watching the encounter with very little curiosity. He saw Piper, but ducked his head and laid on his back out of sight from everyone. Why had she appeared here? Grant rubbed his temple, feeling the urge to go to her now that she was within his sights. He longed to stroke her hair, to feel her breath on the nape of his neck. To feel the soft touch of her lips pressed against his......

Then Grant shook his head. He had a job to do. He was here to kill his father. Garrett Prescott.

Grant made a small cut on both his wrist with his nails, and muttered words. [color=0076a3]"Torzv ol cnila."[/color]

The small amount of blood protruding form his wrists suddenly shivered then stopped moving. Grant willed them to start moving upwards to his palms. From there they began to take shape, forming into a small spear like shape. Once they took shape they soldified and Grant held his palms out, making the bloodsicles hover in front of his palms. Grant looked over at his father, took aim, then willed them to shoot out as fast as they could, aimed at his fathers head and chest.

Garrett suddenly flipped himself, blocking Tabitha and in the process taking both bloodsicles to the back. Garrett staggered slightly but then stood up straight, flexing his muscles and making both bloodsicles pop out. Garrett narrowed his eyes and looked back at where Grant was.

Grant spoke, raising his finger and pointing it at Garrett. [color=0076a3]"Como Pon!"[/color] Suddenly an almost visible barrel of wind shot out, aiming for Garrett.

Garrett stood his ground, then bared his fangs. He used his vampiric speed to rush forward, meeting the magic midair, and redirected the spell to the side. As he did it still slightly grazed him, cutting his hands. Garrett fell to the ground, and the moment his feet touched the ground he sped off and clashed with Grant on the roof. They fought each other using the martial arts they knew. 

Piper was taken by surprise when she realized it was Grant attacking her uncle. [color=fff200]"No!" [/color]She threw herself between them seconds later as she raced up to the roof and yelled[color=fff200] "NO! Garrett this is Grant." [/color]Piper looked at Grant and said, [color=fff200]"Garrett is my uncle, you can't kill him." [/color] She couldn't take her eyes off of Grant and this scared her a little. Why did he have this effect on her?

Tabitha was out of the hammock almost as soon as it tried to flip her, she quickly glanced about, and angered over everything, Tabitha followed Piper, and she barely restrained herself from attacking Grant, wondering if she'd forever be denied that for fear of hurting some family member or another. She crouched, ready to spring into action however, and held herself back from saying anything. 

Grant and Garrett were divided, blocked from eachother by Tabitha and Piper. Grant looked at Piper, eyebrows raised in confusion and shock. [color=0076a3]"Piper I told you I came here on a mission. Patricide. I am sorry you have to be related to this foul man, but I must kill him."[/color]

Garrett, still full of adrenaline, was shocked to hear Grants words. Patricide? As in murdering daddy dearest? [color=004b80]"Hate to dissapoint you child but to commit Patricide you must kill your father. If you were my kid I would know. We arent related."[/color]

Grant scoffed. [color=0076a3]"Dont think that pretending you dont know me will change anything. Denying your blood will only infuriate me more. Just because you abandoned my mother and I once doesnt mean you can ditch me forever."[/color]

Piper looked at Grant and then Garrett. [color=fff200]"I know that but Garrett doesn't have any blood children. He is an original vampire like my mother and Tabitha are. The likelihood of you killing him is well, it's damn near impossible." [/color]She looked at Grant.[color=fff200] "Please don't fight him anymore."[/color] She walked closer to Grant and slipped her hand into his. 

Tabitha rose, but still, it was clear she was ready to move if required, [color=f7941d]"Denying it is the only option. We're dead, we don't have the ability to reproduce, so your mother lied"[/color] She said, [color=f7941d]"Aside from the fact its been 1200 years, and the three of us, with Lucinda have never been far apart, the science isn't there to back it up. Stop and think a moment, and maybe you'll figure out that just maybe, your mother lied about it, even a little bit"[/color]

Grant let go of Piper and set his bag down. He rifled through it and pulled out a necklace. It was a rather abnormal necklace, with a bronze string and attached to it was an ancient looking emblem. Ut was made of some sort of metal, with strange deisgns weaved into the metalwork. I was looped around itself in many spots, and looked as if it had two different colors. [color=0076a3]"You gave this to my mother. She said a friend of yours made it, and you gave it to her. I had a painting of you two together, and i memorized your face and name before the painting was destroyed. Mother said that she knew I was yours because she never had anyone before or after you."[/color]

Tabitha recognised the necklace, and as far as she knew, there were only three in existance, the three she had designed and made, how many centuraries okay? She didn't think anyone would have had the skill, and grace to be able to create it, back then, unless they were a vampire. Or maybe a werewolf. She frowned, [color=f7941d]"I made that. For the three of us"[/color] She said, her tone a little dejected. 

Piper looked at it and said, "Lucinda has one just like it." Turning to Garrett she asked him. "What does this mean?" Turning to Grant she looked at him closer and she could see the resemblance to Garrett. She looked at Garrett and said, "He has your eyes and lips and your stubborness and obviously natural talent for fighting." She said this last part wryly. "How is this possible? Vampire's can't sexually reproduce, can they?"

Garrett reached for the necklace, then recoiled his hand. He remembered when he last held that necklace, and he knew that it was his necklace. This brought up many painful memories for him. Garrett looked at Grant and studied him. Piper was right, they shared many features. They did look similiar. 

[color=004b80]:Grant isnt it....whats your last name?"[/color]

[color=0076a3]"Holiday."[/color]

That settled it for Garrett. He had no idea how this could have happened, but he reproduced sexually. He had a son. He looked at Tabitha, and was ridden by an emotional roller coaster of pain and guilt. So far since they started he has been nothing but pain for her. Then he looked at Grant. [color=004b80]"I believe you. Your mother was Siranna Holiday. Believe me please, the chances of a normal vampire reproducing is zero. Im.....im an original. Meaning Im one of the first three vampires. Like ever created. Its been so long we dont remember who was first second and third but im one of them. I guess that means I have a chance of reproducing, but honestly....it is such a minimal chance.......I had to leave because I...made a mistake. I angered too many people, got the three of us driven out of town. If I had known Siranna was preggers......"[/color]

Grant snorted and tensed himself for another attack on Garrett. He almost believed him...but he spent too much of his life simply to give up now after finally confronting him. But he sounded so sincere.

[color=0076a3]"Lies too protect yourself. You must have known. There is no way you did not know."[/color]

Piper stepped between them so she was in Grant's line of sight. [color=fff200]"I need to talk to you privately. Come inside, we can talk in my room. He lives here he isnt going anywhere." [/color]She took his hand in hers and the reaction was instant and he didn't back away from her or do anything but follow her. She pulled him with her and into the house and then her room. 

Once there she sat him on the bed and said, [color=fff200]"The chances that he would actually reproduce sexually is so small it's microscopic. You are truly a miracle. I've heard the story a million times since I was turned. Yes, I am hybrid vampire/werewolf. I'm a bit of an anomoly myself."[/color] Piper sat next to him on the bed and smiled.

 [color=fff200]"I think that makes us both unique."[/color] Piper's voice lowered a touch. [color=fff200]"Garrett had no idea. He and your mother were only together three weeks when the originals were run out of town. He mourned his loss of her for a really long time. So long that he drove Lucinda nuts about going back and she said no because ....well it's not fun getting chased and hunted every minute of the day. He really didn't know, if he did I'm certain he would have kidnapped her out of there to be with her."[/color] Piper hugged him. 

As Garrett glanced at her, Tabitha realised that he probably felt bad, for her. And so she decided to make it a heck of a lot easier, taking a deep breath to calm herself, she knew she wasn't upset by this--over 1200 years, there would be surprises, even when they thought they knew each other. After all, she'd given him one the night before. And why should she be upset? The only reason she was even a little upset was because she'd created the necklaces for them. 

As Piper took Grant away-probably a good thing-she approached Garrett, and simply gave him a tight hug. 

Garrett sighed as he hugged Tabitha, and held her close. He was over the shock and confusion and disbelief, and now he was just.....Garrett didnt know. But he had his favorite defense mechanism. He leaned towards Tabitha's ear and spoke.

[color=004b80]"Congratulations, your a mom!"[/color]

Grant sat with Piper and listened to her speak. He didnt know why, but even though he was dead set on finishing what he started he let himself be distracted and led away by her. Why did she have such a hold on him? [color=0076a3]"I just cant let go, not now. I have spent most of my life hunting him, and I went through so much pain and hardsip to be strong. What am I suppose to do if I believe him?"[/color]

Piper smiled softly, [color=fff200]"You get to know your dad. Garrett is a really good guy. Lucinda and he were together before they became originals and she has had feelings for him ever since. I'm not sure they are the same strength but she still loves him in one way or another. Get to know him. I think it would change your life."[/color] She sighed and asked him, [color=fff200]"Why did you leave me by the lake? Didn't you feel our connection?" [/color]She didn't want him to see that she had been a little hurt by that.

Tabitha was well aware that Garrett used humor as a defense, but she was completely astonished. She was, quite effectively, speechless. She stared at him, waiting for words to come. [color=f7941d]"That's not funny"[/color] She said, her tone astounded, [color=f7941d]"I don't think he'd see it that way, not when he wants to kill you"[/color] She said, gaining her balance back from being thunderstruck. 

[color=f7941d]"What are we going to do?"[/color]

Garrett laughed, and when he calmed down he shrugged his shoulders. [color=004b80]"Not sure. Would be nice if he didnt want to kill me, but it is what it is. But I know he exists now, so I am going to take care of him. He is my.....our family. I wont abandon him, and I wont let him go. Ill tie him to the radiator in the basement if I have to.:+"[/color]

Grant shrugged but did not meet Pipers gaze. [color=0076a3]"I did. But I have my mission......had my mission. What would you have done in my place?"[/color]

[color=fff200]"Honestly? I would have spoken to you first. I wouldn't have just left you like you were just some booty call."[/color] Piper couldn't help how he had made her feel. [color=fff200]"If you want to stay here at this house there is nothing that I think your dad would like more. You can even stay in this room with me...if I mean something to you."[/color]

Tabitha nodded as if she expected nothing less, [color=f7941d]"So maybe we should make the radiator stronger then"[/color] she said, glancing over the grounds, wondering how just about every perfect moment could be ruined lately. She looked back to Garrett and gave him a smile, [color=f7941d]"1200 years, and its like the universe wants to slam enough things to fill another 1200 in the space of a week"[/color]

Grant raised an eyebrow, but spoke in a monotone voice. [color=0076a3]"I.....guess that would be fine. I mean dont get me wrong, I do feel....whatever we have. It is obvious to me we have some type of connection. But you do get that this isnt normal right? Normal beings dont just randomly appear naked on another and then fall in love. Its gonna take me a bit of time to wrap my head around this whole thing. My dad not being the bastard I thought he was, and finding you."[/color]

Garrett laughed, almost doubling over, and he had to wipe the tears from his eyes. He kissed Tabitha and hugged her again. [color=004b80]"I was joking, please dont tie anyone who isnt our enemy to the radiator. And I agree this whole week has been........very interesting to say the least. Hasnt been this crazy in awhile."[/color]

Garrett had a thought. [color=004b80]"When things settle down, with Grant and Samuel, lets go away someplace. Somewhere vamp friendly where we can vacation in peace and just be with each other."[/color]

Piper didn't know how to take what he said. When he put it into words that way it made her feel like a tramp. "I'm gonna go see what is in the fridge." She said quietly and she walked out her door. She opened the door and took off to see Samuel. Maybe now would be the perfect time to join his pack.

Tabitha was glad, if not a little perplexed, that she could make Garrett laugh. She pondered the limitation on tying people to radiators, and  thought she'd much rather beat the crap out of their enemies then tie them up. 

[color=f7941d]"That sounds perfect"[/color] She said wistfully, wondering where that would be, but after a moments thought she decided she didn't care. [color=f7941d]"Well, we can make do for now, finding small moments of peace like before"[/color]
