Mother

Dominic and I were up before Ash. I was eating breakfast when he came down. "You're awake," I said after I finished chewing a mouthful of eggs.

"And you're human," he replied.

I nodded. "We have a meeting in an hour."

He frowned. "Why?"

"I found out some stuff."

He grabbed a blood bag from the fridge. "What stuff?"

"She won't say," Dominic said.

"You'll both find out at the meeting," I stated firmly.

"That's what you said last night," Dominic grumbled.

Ash blinked. "She had woken up last night?" He asked after he finished his breakfast.

Dominic nodded. "She woke up, found a necklace her father left for her, told me we needed to have another meeting, and went back to sleep."
