"Joesph and Jennifer are dead..." Solomon stated flatly as they were mentioned, "I killed her father and..she finished off her mother while I was getting Holden to a safe place." He sighed a bit, becoming rather tense as he sensed his sister nearby, "Oh no..dammit.."
Hayden hurried out and jumped into Solomon's arms, wrapping her own around his shoulders, "Anne is wonderful~ You should give her a raise~" She turned her head, noticing the two very powerful vampires in the room. She quickly hid her face; they had 'Council' written all over their minds. "S-solo..I..I thought you s-said..."
Solomon sighed deeply as he held Hayden, "They're not here for you; they're here to help me." He ran his hand through her hair with a smile.
Serus smiled a bit, "Solomon, I didn't know you had a da..wait a minute. That face." She gently turned Hayden so she could see the girl's face, "S-Solomon...y-you didn't..not even I would dare do such a thing. I thought she was..." She stepped back, sensing they were both uncomfortable, "Either way, it's good to see you two together again. Perhaps you can come play with the Twins the next time you visit America? I'm sure they'd love to meet you and get out of my hair."
She then began to address the matter, "Seth is right, the Romanians have always been wary of Strigois and Vampirs. They..do have cause though. Humans are not well known for their acceptance of a predator to their well-being; yet alone being able to handle becoming one. I'm surprised that Felix and Holden managed to make it through the change so easily. Most of the time, Strigois and Vampirs-after they turn 18- end up becoming so aggressive and blood crazy they have to..be put down so to say. It's very rare for two Strigois to have a child though, the woman's body just does not react well to having a human child in their system. More often than not, the child dies within two months after conception and a dried up carcass is then removed."
She sighed a bit, running her hand through her pale hair, "Not to mention; it's rather surprising that Jason made it past his parent's deaths. He should've been killed there as well, why he wasn't only the assassin knows. Yes Solomon, I know his name. I've been keeping tabs on him. He is a rather sweet child, for now at least." She glanced to Holden then went back to looking at Solomon, "The Council's aim is to get rid of any more risks to our race's secrecy and work on purifying the blood lines back to their original prowess. For example, all elementals in my clan are currently in the process of moving to either the Murai or the remnants of the Raksasha clan...and their Psychics are moving, and so on and so forth. Not only that, they're weeding out many of the weaker vampires, strengthening the lines and working on keeping only the ones with the clan's respective powers. It's just one huge fucking mess."
Hayden whined a bit as Serus grabbed her and examined her. Did everyone know of her? She pushed herself into Solomon, hiding her face.
Solomon sighed deeply as Serus spoke, "As I thought...Ya'lize just spontaneously did this? That's..well..actually that's typical of him. Is there anything we can do to stop it? Or at least, how can I protect Jason and Holden? You're devious, what can be done?"
