Do you have any questions

Kareem, slid the pen and note pad over to Lexi " what am I supposed to do with this ?" She mumbled, while trying to chew the bite size candy bar in her mouth with out Karmen noticing.

karmen peered up catching her red handed, with her mouth full of chocolate." I swear Lexi your going to die of malnutrition if you don't stop eating junk food."She grumbled , Just to hear Lexi complain , I'm going to starve to death anyway eating that crap you call food. If I didn't eat junk food I would be just as boney as you."

" I don't have time to pat you down for bite size candy bars right now, take that pen and notepad and write down these page numbers I'm going to give you." She told her a little aggravated.

Lexi tapped the pen on the table waiting, as Karmen flipped through the thick black book, her eyes scanning the description of each creature page by page, searching for mystical creatures with fangs.

"Karmen , why don't you go to the table of contents and write down creatures you know for sure your not, like a dragon or the Loch Ness Monster ."she giggled , sounding amused ."

Karmen pulled her head up out of the book, mulling over what Lexi just said " you know Lexi that's not a bad idea. She quickly turned to the table of contents spouting out creatures and pages numbers for Lexi to write on the small note pad " ok Lexi don't laugh remember this was your Idea, dragon, page 29 , chimera page 38, a mermaid page 42, a yeti page 51 , Sphinx page 55, Medusa page 63",

They had covered a large portion of the book by the time Jackson and Ethan had finished their meeting and moved to the end of the table. Jackson set beside Karmen and Ethan set at the head of the table being careful not to sit to close to Lexi.

He didn't want to face Alex's deadly scorching hot glare any more. Peeking over at the huge book in Karmen's hand he ask her "What are you reading squirt?"

Her reply was short and quick as her index finger traveled down the table of contents.

" A book about Mythical Creatures."

" you mean like cyclops and unicorns, shit like that." He ask her, turning his head sideways and lowering it down a bit look her in the eyes.

"Yeah,"she muttered never bring her head up from the book in front of her to meet his eyes.

Not knowing any reason she would be concentrating so hard on a book about mystical creatures , he ask her the most logical reason he could think of.

"Are you taking some kind of extra class?"

She finally brought her head up out of the book, to look at him, with tears in her eyes sniffling and sobbing out her words

"No it's because I'm something unknown at least that's what my DNA test showed."

Seeing her tear stained face and the sad expression on his little sisters face he tried to hold back his laughter, but a large grin crossed his lips

"What the hell are you talking about?" He mummers through the hand covering the grin on his face. Jackson pulled closer to him, he kissed the top of her head, trying to comfort her.

"Babe we don't know that, for all we know our DNA test could have been contaminated, by something at the lab."

Seeing how Jackson was trying to comfort her, he new this was for real, she truly believed she was a different species. frustrated Ethan snapped , demanding answers

Why the hell did the two of you take a DNA test, and what's all this bullshit about Mythical creatures, please someone, explain to me why she would think she's anything else besides a little human girl."

"Just calm down Ethan, give me a minute and I will explain it to you."Jackson said In a calm voice. He patted Karmen's back cradling her head against his chest, until her giant sobs became little sniffles, after she had settled down a bit he quickly answered Ethan's questions.

"We took a DNA test Because we thought we might get an answer to where my grandmother came from. Her heart beat and Karmen's is similar . And I know for a fact Karmen isn't just a little human girl, she bit me, she has fangs. I saw them myself. I really just think she's a half blood. But for some reason when the DNA test results came back ,it said Karmen is half human and half unknown species. Me and Alex have always thought we were pure blood vampires, but our DNA test showed that we had a small percentage of a unknown species."Jackson rattled off this information in about a second, he had to catch his breath to continue, but just as Ethan was going to interrupt, Jackson spoke with the same fast pace continuing his long and complex answer to the question Ethan had just ask. " we just got the results from the DNA test last night, Karmen done the math." pausing a second to confirm what Ethan already knew "you know that could never be wrong, not with her big brain." He said with pride in his voice as he pulled her head against her chest. "And it seems it could be possible our grandmother was a half vampire and a different species. With the math equation karmen had done and the science of the DNA test."

Concluding his explanation he paused looking at Ethan asking him " do you have any questions?"
