After recovering in the hospital my parents job qualifications were done and they're able to resume their business as they were given a new build. Along with Sky's, Sue, and Liza's parents also being able to go back to work with my parents at their company, they had setup up the military school for me, Casi, Gah, and Ben along with the other's. With today being the opening ceremony that they're supposed to be announcing my rank, though the rank that they will be giving me is of a Major. But they will also award me with the honorary lieutenant colonel rank.
Causing me to be the first five-star Major in the school, with Skylar, Casi, Sue, Ben, Liza, and Gah being captains with them being three stars.
While Lilly will be starting her second year of high school also, walking down the hall to where the ceremony is 'Keke and Gabby also would have been starting their second year to if they'd.' Leaving my thoughts when I noticed a presence of two sentient strigoi's, that'd stopped me in my tracks just before reaching the hallway for the auditorium to see two girls around Lili age. Noticing my presence, they turn towards me before they moved away from the doors, they were leaning on letting me see their eye's.
Letting go of a surprise gasp when I saw both of their sunset and sun rise colored eyes with Keke's more of the orangish red that has it reflect the color of the sunset, while Gabby was the pinkish orange color having hers be as if they were the rising sun. With a gently voice that leans towards it almost being tenderness "Keke...Gabby is that really you?" Seeing tears in Gabby eyes she runs towards me using the speed that being a strigoi grants you, so that she could reach me faster. Hugging me While she rests her head on my chest.
She snuggled against my chest "big sister Lani...big sister Lani, you remember us... your safe...you're really safe. When everything happened and we couldn't reach you we were really scared. Then we got bit by those things, causing us to do terrible things when we had lost our consciousness. But when we got our consciousness back with the memories of the things we did...I... we"
Hugging Abbie while I rest my head on the top of hers "it's ok...its ok now I'm just glad to see the both of you are safe and sound, those things you did when you lost your conscious were not your fault. From now you have me to protect the both of you."
Keke: Wiping my tears before I walk up to them "big sister Cleo...I... I tried to be brave like you taught us to be, but I couldn't protect the both of us. I let us get bit and turn into these... these..."
Pulling Keke into the hug as well "Key you did well, you made it back to big sister Cleo and you have made me so proud. From now on just let me take care of everything ok. You two don't have to worry anymore."
Keke: Shaking my head as more tears went down my cheeks "I'm just happy that you're not disappointed in us for doing those terrible things and becoming these things, we can't always rely on your protection. Plus, with us being amongst the five kings of the sentient strigoi's we will be able to protect you as well. We could even give you helpful information on when the others are going to attack, and what their plans are. J-just that we will have to do even more things that will cause you to be possibly disappointed in us."
Hearing the shaky ness in her voice with even Abbie tighten her hug 'I see...they have really grown in the time that we've been apart.' Hugging them more securely "I could never be disappointed in the two of you, as I know the kindness of the both of you along with what kindness your hearts have. I know that I can't talk the two of you out of this decision. But I want the both of you to come to me when it gets too much ok? You both still have me while I will never stop protecting you. With it being that I will also have to make decisions that might make the two of you see me in a different way, will that make the two of you be disappointed in me? Also, if the two of you are monster's what does that make me. Being that I know the two of you can tell that I'm not like you and the others that're sentient strigoi's, that are part of being the five kings."
Gabby: Leaning my head back to have my eyes meet Cleo's "there's no way that we could ever be disappointed in you Lani, you're the nice person ever with the biggest heart ever. Hehe guess what some of the strigoi's that we managed to save are also your fans."
Letting them go I ruffle Gabby hair "is that so? Just make sure that you don't cause to much trouble for your older sister, ok?" Seeing her smile with it getting even wider I move my hand away and look at Keke to see she's smiling as well "Key is it safe for the both of you to be here? How did the both of you even get pass the check point."
Keke: Opening my eyes to look at Cleo as I'd heard the concern in her voice "we strigoi's that are conscious are kind a like you and the others, with us also being able to hide our eye's colors but when it comes to the hiding our power that we radiate its different. As for us we have to masked it by emitting the same kind of energy humans do, so besides our blood type coming back a little different than what it was when we're human we've got nothing to worry about."
Shaking my head "I see but with them having your blood now they will compare it to what is in the data base that they have to see what your blood type was to what it has changed to. They will have you show up for routine checkups just like me." But before I could say more the bell rings signaling that we need to get to the auditorium, I grabbed both of their hands when I went pass them. "Let's finish this talk back at my place after school, also I'm sure the others are dying to see the both of you as well."
