Ny - Four: Heritage


    Ny-Four: Heritage


    Myka


    Persephone stopped by yesterday and dropped a bomb on all of us. Even Mykenzie and Kni were


    blinded sided by this. Chris was left speechless. Persephone had found out about Araya''s heritage,


    and it was a shock. Needless to say, none of us slept very wellst night. I know I didn’t, with


    everything running through my mind. I knew Araya was not human, but this was far from what I was


    expecting. Our entire group is currently sitting in the rec room. It is early, and most of us are drinking


    coffee and eating breakfast. The older kids are at school. That is the best right now. I have no idea how


    I am going to exin this to a ten-year-old. We hear a knock at the door, and I look up to see Dimitri


    and Persephone standing there. I am guessing she has more information. I don’t like the look on


    Dimitri’s face. I had a feeling whatever was about to be said was going to be bad. They both take a

    seat. The room is still dead silent.


    “Ok, what new information have you found?” Jailynn asks.


    “By the look on dad’s face, it can’t be good.” Daniyments.


    I love these girls. None of them is afraid to break the silence. I hear either Kni or Mykenzie snort. I


    know they were shocked about the news, but at the same time, I have a feeling they kind of already


    had a feeling about Araya.


    Well, let’s hear the news.” I say.


    “Araya is what we call a Nephilim. She is the daughter of an angel and a demon.” Persephone


    exins.


    “We believe that the same warlock who ced Einyn on Draydon’s doorstep. I believe that the demon


    deals in the ck market. He captures, holds, then sells rare immortal and supernatural beings.” Dimitri


    says.


    “The warlock took Araya as a very small infant and ced her with your aunt and uncle. From what I


    was able to find. Your aunt was pregnant, but she actually delivered a stillborn. The warlock cast a spell


    so everyone would believe Araya was their child. We are unsure what actually happened to the


    stillborn. I believe the warlock probably took the child and buried it somewhere.” Persephone exins.


    I feel someone touch my face. I look to see Dustin wiping tears from my cheeks. I hadn’t even realized


    that I was crying. I am sad for my uncle. He lost his child, and I am sure it was due to my aunt and her


    fucking drug abuse and lifestyle. While I am not happy that someone had their child kidnapped, at least


    Araya was ced with my uncle, and I know he loved her. She was definitely a daddy’s girl. Iy my


    head on Dustin’s shoulder to absorb this new information. I had a feeling that something like this was


    what we were going to be told, but not that she was kidnapped. I can’t even imagine having my child


    stolen from me and ced with a new family. We sat there for a bit longer, talking. I am still not sure


    how to exin this to Araya. She is so young. I doubt that she will understand any of this.


    “There is onest thing.” Persephone mentions.


    I look at her. What could she possibly have to say now?


    “Araya is actually older than what we think. She is actually 14 years old. The blood and DNA sample


    you provided also told us that she also has a human in here. That is why she grew so slow. For some


    reason, it stunted her angel and demon blood until now. That is why she seemed to have such arge


    growth spurt. Angels tend to develop at about the same rate as a human. Demons tend to develop


    faster. It seems like the demon part is now taking over as far as height goes.” Persephone says.


    “This exins why the school had us have her skip two grades. She was supposed to start 6th grade,


    but at the end ofst year, the teachers and the principal had use in for a talk. They exined that


    Araya was far ahead of the other kids in her year. They asked if they could test her to see where she is


    academically wise. She tested two years above where she was.” I tell them.


    This exins so much about Araya. She always seemed so much smarter than kids her age. The


    school even had me bump Bree up one year. Apparently, my girls are smart. While the circumstances


    of Araya are sad, I am happy to know that we have found out most of the truth.


    “Can we trace her parentage to see who her real parents are?” Kni asks.


    “Normally, yes, but since the human DNA was added, it makes it almost impossible,” Dimitri says.


    I hear both of them grumble about this. I have no doubt that they would have taken a visit home and


    tried to find this angel and demon. I hear Chris tell them that even if they could figure out who the


    parents are, her mother is a fallen angel and no longer where angels usually live. I hear more


    grumbles. I know those two are looking for any excuse to get out of the house.


    “Since you two are so bored just thought I would let you know that there is a family meeting tomorrow,”


    Chris announces.


    I see him smile as I hear their grumbles change toints, then whining. I think the family meetings


    are interesting. I have no idea what they are talking about half the time, but if it gets us out of the


    house, then I am up for it.


    Dimitri


    I knew that Myka and Persephone had been talking. I had no idea what the conversations were


    about. You can guess how surprised I was when I walked into my office one day and found Persephone


    sitting there waiting for me. To say I was surprised to see her would be an understatement. I love


    Persephone, but she usually didn’te to our realm very much. Let’s just say that the underworld and


    the realm of the fae are pr opposite environments. I gave her a hug and then took a seat in my chair.


    “What do I owe this unexpected visit?” I ask.


    “I need to run some information from you and see what you think.” She says.


    She then proceeded to tell me why she and Myka had been meeting. I always had a feeling that


    Araya was not a full human. I could definitely sense humans in her, but there was something else that I


    could sense. I had talked to Imyra about it, and she had the same feeling, but she could not sense what


    else Araya might be. When she told me what she had found, I was literally speechless. A Nephilim,


    well, that was not what I was expecting.


    “Can we trace her DNA to her biological parents?” I asked.


    “Unfortunately, no, with the human DNA added to the mix, we can trace her to a specific family but not


    the actual parents. I tried to track down the families, but both family lines ended 500 years ago. There


    isn’t a direct living descendant alive. The few blood rtives alive have no idea about that part of their


    family.” She exins.


    Well, damn, that is a dead end. That is the only problem with any immortal or supernatural having any


    human in their family lines. It makes DNA typing almost impossible. The only other thing to make that


    impossible is if something like my situation happens. She shows me what she has found, and I make


    copies of the paper trail. I told her I would look into this. I give her a hug, and she leaves to go back to


    the underworld. Probably to bake more desserts for the girls. Kni and Mykenzie asked for sweets,


    and Persephone had no problem baking for them.


    “So the witch in my mother’s coven will see if she can tell what kind of magic or spells are being used


    to hide the bears and everyone else,” Nymyra says.


    Fucking hell, when did she get here? She scared the hell out of me, for fuck sake. I forget she can


    shimmer herself between realms being part vampire. She didn’t know that she could until the girls


    taught her.


    “Damn it Nymyra, you scared the shit out of me, but I am d to hear that she will help us. Please, next


    time, warn me when you are going to pop up.” I tell her.


    “Sorry, I did knock on the door frame though. I thought you heard it.” She admits.


    OK, I couldn’t be that mad at her if she knocked, and I was so lost in thought that I didn’t hear it. She


    apologizes again and says she needs to go. She and Chris are meeting. They have a date. I am


    positive that this date includes a veryrge stone set in tinum. I don’t tell her this. Chris was here a


    couple of months ago talking with Peter. He is our best jewellery designer. I saw the stone that Chris


    chose for the centre stone. I know Nymyra will love it. It is a 3-carat teardrop-shaped tanzanite stone. It


    is the perfect shade of blue/purple. I tell her to have a good time and give her a hug. I honestly never


    expected Chris to find his mate. He didn’t believe in what Dominick and I did, splitting the souls in half. I


    think he finally did after Kni found Kaleb. From what Dustin tells me, the moment Nymyra walked


    into his office that night, it was obvious that they were mates. I am happy that all three of them have


    found their soul bonds. I treat them like they are my nieces and nephew, and in some ways, they are. I


    guess Dominick and I did something right.
