Generation Ten Chapter Four

The first semester seemed to go by pretty quickly, and it was soon time for break. I decided to stay at uni over the break, not wanting to go back home for only a week. I also had no idea what I was going to tell my family about my decision to become human, and I had no idea how to act around them like nothing had changed. It was easiest for me to just avoid it for a week.

Rose and Faith decided to stay too, Rose’s family living quite far away. I wasn’t sure why Faith was staying, but it was nice to have both of them around.

I had done well in my exams, passing very easily, and I didn’t have to worry about study for a week. I was ready for my party week.

On the Friday after exams finished, we had a party at our place.

The party got wild and there was a lot of streaking. I’ll admit my part in it. It was a lot of fun.

It did, however, end with the police breaking us up.

However it ended, I was looking forward to the next party.

Said next party was the next day, and I was invited along by someone from my class. Rose and Faith weren’t going, but I was going, and I was going to have a great time.

 

It was apparently a pool party (not that I noticed any pool) so I dressed in my bikini and even put on sunglasses even though they weren’t needed. May as well get into the theme.

 

I did drink a lot, and I discovered it had an interesting… side effect on me. I was already a fairly flirty person, it came extremely natural to me, but it became extremely pronounced while drunk.

 

Making out with a few people was actually really enjoyable, and I did note through my drunken haze that I much preferred making out with the girls. This didn’t bother me, really, and I was way too drunk to actually think about it.

The rest of the party was great, and I was glad that I hadn’t gone any further than making out with anyone while I was drunk. I’d have hated to go any further while drunk.

The party wasn’t quite as crazy as the one we’d had at our place the night previously, but I made my way home, still drunk, and apparently quite loudly because when I went to start up the stairs Rose was standing there.

“Can you be quieter?” Rose asked tiredly, “Faith and I are trying to sleep.” I didn’t say anything as I stared at her, before leaning forward and kissing her.

 

Rose pushed me away with a lot of force, not that it sent me very far, and I looked at her with wide eyes.

“I’m sorry!” I exclaimed before running back up the stairs and getting into bed. I was still to drunk to properly process what had happened, but I greatly regretted it in the morning.

 

I had a long sleep, and in the morning had an awful hangover that I knew I deserved. I had completely destroyed my whole friendship with Rose. This was a disaster.

Generation Ten Chapter Three

University was great. My first semester I was taking quite a light load, to get me into university. I did really enjoy it though.

 

Part of our studies included studying how the human body, and, mostly, skeleton worked, especially in regards to how it moved during exercise. I found it fascinating, though there were others in my class who found it boring.

I also really loved my flat, and got on really well with Faith and Rose, though Rose and I were a lot closer. There was no particularly reason, Faith was great, too, but there was something that made us really good friends, just naturally, I suppose. We hadn’t known each other too long, but I felt already that I’d made a lifelong friend in Rose. There was a connection.

 

Having a fairy as a friend was definitely going to make life interesting. More interesting than being a vampire, anyway.

I hated it. I missed the sun. I could be out there for a short while without it bothering me, but it was never for long enough. I wanted to spend the day sunbathing, or going swimming at the beach.

One afternoon after one of my classes, I did go out to the back in a bikini to relaz and sunbathe for awhile, with the promise to myself that I would go inside as soon as I needed to.

 

It was amazing to be out there. Even if it could only be for a short time. I wanted to spend all day out there, though.

I was getting ready to go back inside when Rose came outside.

 

“Are you insane?” she exclaimed as she walked down the steps towards me.

“Of course not. I enjoy the sun,” I said. She shook her head as she reached me.

“You know, I’ve never heard of a suicidal vampire before,” she said with a small smile.

“I’m not, I’m going to head inside before anything happens. Anyway, clearly you’ve never read any vampire fiction,” I said. Rose shook her head, slightly puzzled.

“There’s vampire fiction?”

“Just stay in your little fairy world,” I said, standing up, and heading back inside.

Later that day, I was in my room, reading a book on my bed when Rose knocked on the door and came in. I closed the book, putting it under my bed as Rose came in and sat down on my bed next to me.

 

“So you like the sun?” Rose asked. I nodded.

“The sun doesn’t affect child vampires. If you grow up as a vampire it doesn’t affect you until you’re fully grown. It sounds stupid, I know, but there it is. I’ve always loved the sun, for as long as I can remember. The heat, summer is my favourite season. I miss it so much, and I hate not being able to enjoy it,” I said. Rose looked thoughtful.

“Do you like being a vampire?” she asked.

“Not particularly. There’s nothing particularly wonderful about it. Others love it, I know, but I don’t. I won’t ever be able to be a professional sportswoman because I have an unfair advantage,” I said.

“Why don’t you take the cure?” Rose asked. I bolted up, staring at Rose in shock, searching her. Cure? Her eyes reflected her confusion.

“There’s a cure?” I asked.

“You don’t know about it?” Rose asked. I shook my head.

“No doubt my family would know it exists though… they must’ve kept it from me!” I exclaimed, “How could they do that?”

“I’m sure they had their reasons,” Rose said as I relaxed back into the pillow.

 

“What good reason is there to keep secrets?” I demanded.

“They probably didn’t even think about it,” Rose said, “I doubt they purposely kept it a secret. You’d have found out somehow, keeping it a secret would be pointless.”

“I suppose you’re right,” I said, “How do you get the cure?”

“Well, there’s the option at many science facilities. It’s really expensive. But… okay, I probably shouldn’t do it, but I can do it. It will take awhile, I’ll need to cast a few spells on you before I can give it to you – you know, to figure things out exactly – but I can do it. Just… not right away. I need time. I can’t remember exactly what it involves,” she said. I stared at her.

“You would do that?” I asked. Rose nodded.

“If you’re not happy, then I want you to be,” she said, smiling. I felt my eyes tear up a little, and I wanted to kiss her. She was willing to do this for me.

“I don’t know… I don’t think my family would like it very much…”

“Surely your family would just want you to be happy?” Rose asked.

“I don’t know. I come from a very long line of vampires. Very long. I’m the heir. Everything is passed on to me,” I explained.

“I get that, I do, but they shouldn’t put those sort of expectations on you when you’re going to be miserable,” Rose said.

“I won’t be miserable…”

“But you’d be much happier if you weren’t a vampire. I’m not going to push you, but I’ll look into it, and you let me know,” Rose said. I nodded and smiled, and Rose hopped off my bed and fluttered out of my room.

Three days later I cornered Rose and told her I wanted to do it. She directed me to lie down on the couch.

 

I let her do a spell over me, and waited until she told me she was finished.

“What did that do?” I asked.

“It’s was more… diagnostic,” she said, smiling at me, “I could tell you exactly, but I don’t think you’ll understand completely. But I should be able to work on the cure, and I’ll give it to you when it’s ready.”

I nodded, and stood up.

“Thank you,” I said. She shook her head.

“There’s no need to thank me,” she said as she began to walk away, “You’re my friend, I want to help you.” I grabbed her hand and turned her around.

 

“Really. Thank you,” I said softly, taking her other hand also.

Generation Ten Chapter Two

“Happy Birthday dear Adalia! Happy Birthday to you!”

 

It was my birthday, and I was going to be an adult, a fully grown vampire. I didn’t want it. I love the sun, and the moment I was an adult vampire I wouldn’t ever be able to be out in the sun for very long. It was unfair.

As I blew out my candles I made a wish that I would still be able to go out in the sun. I knew it was useless, and it wasn’t going to happen, but it was worth a shot.

 

I did grow up, and I was an adult vampire, and I was somewhat disappointed. I couldn’t be too disappointed though, because I knew I was gorgeous. Sounds big-headed, I know, but I was. Nothing wrong with being confident.

But I was an adult now and it wouldn’t be long until I was off to university.

I was going there to study phys ed, and we had organised a place for me to rent and live in, and I was getting a few flatmates, that Dad had screened, but none of us had met yet. Dad had his connections, though, to make sure they were completely safe and check their backgrounds.

I was looking forward to uni. No one in my family had been before, mostly because this university, a supernatural-friendly university, was the first of it’s kind, and very new. I wouldn’t have to hide who I was there. Just like here, in Moonlight Falls, we didn’t have to hide who we were.

And after the summer, I was off to uni.

 

I had two flatmates. Faith and Rose. Dad wouldn’t ‘allow’ male flatmates.

The first thing I did when we all got to our new home was sit down and talk to them, get to know them.

“I’m Adalia, and I’m a vampire. I’m studying physical education,” I said to introduce myself.

“I’m Rose. Rose Blossom. I know, it’s a stupid name, but as a fairy, that’s the kind of names we have,” Rose said, smiling, “I’m studying science, I love gardening. I know, I sound like a typical fairy.”

“Nothing wrong with being a typical fairy,” I said, grinning, “Says the atypical vampire.” She laughed, and then we both looked at the brunette girl.

“I’m Faith. I’m studying Fine Arts, and I’m a Squib!” she said. Rose and I stared at her blankly, having no idea what she was talking about. Faith blinked once, and then grinned.

“You’ve never read those old Harry Potter books, have you? Well, in those books non-magic folk are called Muggles, and anyone who is non-magic born to a magical parent is called a Squib. In the witch community they sort of adopted those words, it meant they could talk about it in public and people would just think they were nerds, not crazy. My Mum is a witch,” Faith said, “I didn’t inherit the skill.”

The three of us continued to talk for awhile, and then I decided to go explore the campus.

 

I found myself at the bowling place, but there was no one around so I bowled a little before I headed back home. I’d make some friends before I really explored.

 

At home, Rose and I were talking about our experiences as a vampire and a fairy, and Rose decided to show me just what she could do. It was awesome, seeing her so tiny and flying around me like that. She was amazing.

————————-

Nothing happened much, I know, but I just like to introduce my characters. Also, I’m glad to send a Gilbert to university, finally. Figures it’s the last generation. 

Generation Ten Chapter One

“Lia! Kat! We have a few surprises for you!”

Katrina and I had just arrived home when we heard Mum call for us, and we went into the living room to see her and Dad standing together, huge grins on their faces.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Follow us,” Mum said, and together they led us upstairs to the study/workout room/whatever it was where we put things.

“This first surprise of for you, Lia,” Dad said, looking at me, and I walked in, and gasped.

 

“Your karate sensei told us just how well you’ve been doing, so we decided to buy you a couple of things so you can continue to work at it at home,” Dad said. I grinned. Two year ago they had done a class at school to see who would be interested in karate, and I had really enjoyed it. Since then I had gone to the dojo twice a week, but being able to practice at home would be great!

“Thank you so much!” I exclaimed, and hugged both of them.

“We have something for you, too, Kat,” Mum said, and lead up back down stairs to the formal lounge.

 

The piano wasn’t knew, but the bass, the guitar, and the drum set all were. Kat was gifted with music, and had been playing the piano for years, and had always wanted to play other instruments. It looked like she was going to get her wish.

“This is brilliant! Thank you thank you thank you!” Kat exclaimed, hugging Mum and Dad excitedly.

“So what’s with the presents?” I asked. It wasn’t anyone’s birthday, and it wasn’t Snowflake Day.

“Can’t we just give something to our beautiful daughters?” Mum asked.

“Did Johann get anything?” I asked.

“He hasn’t quite found his passion in life yet,” Dad said, “When he does, we’ll be sure to support it.” I nodded, though I didn’t quite accept what Dad was saying. I knew Mum and Dad loved us, but this was a bit odd, even for them.I decided, however, to take it at face value.

“Thank you so much!” I said again. Mum and Dad grinned, before walking away, leaving me and Kat surrounded by her new musical instruments.

Kat and I may have been sisters, but we didn’t really get along. It wasn’t that we didn’t like each other, we just didn’t have anything in common.

 

I did love Kat, after all, she was my sister, but she was very involved with her music, and I was really quite into karate, and I quite enjoyed other athletic pursuits, though karate was my favourite. I was also quite flirty, though I’d never had a real relationship. The boys at school held no real interest to me. Neither did the girls. I just flirted naturally.

I got along much better with my younger brother Johann. He was quite athletic, too, and he was looking forward to high school and joining the competitive sports teams.

 

Before Johann could come to high school, though, Kat and I had our prom to get ready for. We spent the day together getting ready, and then headed off together. Neither of us had dates, neither of us wanted them, either. Part of the reason Kat didn’t want one was because she was slightly scared of Dad’s reaction. We both knew he would never be ready for us to have relationships.

Prom was alright. Quite a few boys asked me to dance, and it was fairly fun, but it wasn’t the time of my life like everyone promises it would be.

 

A few weeks after prom is was cousin Charlotte’s birthday. She wasn’t really our cousin, but our great-something aunt, but it was just so much easier to think of her as our cousin. She was an evil little thing, though the adults didn’t see it. She constantly had tantrums, and had to have things her way. She would always look so happy when something bad happened to someone else. I knew we had to keep a close eye on her. If only Mum, Dad, Uncle Ambro, and Aunt Rose would actually believe Johann, Kat, and I when we told them.

It was only a week after Charlotte’s birthday that it was Johann’s birthday. There were so many people in our house that birthdays were almost constant.

 

It’s probably really creepy of me to think so, but Johann really was quite good looking. Mix his good looks and his athletic ability, he could have any girl he wanted, I’m sure of it.

 

Especially if he became as awesome as me at karate.

————————-

Just an introductory chapter really. I can’t believe I’ve started the final generation! Hopefully I won’t take too long at future updates. 

Generation Nine Chapter Fifteen

It was time for Katrina’s birthday. My second daughter was going to be starting school.

My daughter Katrina was a beautiful young girl.

Life continued fairly normally in the Gilbert household for a while. No exciting or awful things going on with the family.

I felt so lucky to be part of such a wonderful family.

Rose, however, soon received some exciting news.

 

Rose and Ambro were going to have another baby. It was a little weird for me that my great great great great great great grandparents were having a child again after I’d already had some, but this family was far from normal.

 

It didn’t seem all that long until Rose went into labour, and they had a little girl who was named Charlotte. She had Ambro’s hair and Rose’s eyes, and was a good mixture of the two of them.

It wasn’t long after Charlotte’s birth that it was also time for Adalia’ birthday. My oldest daughter, my little girl, was going to be a teenager.

 

My little girl was beautiful. I could see that I’d be spending a lot of time warding boys off with a bat.

————————-

AN~ So, this is a happy happy chapter, because that’s how things are for the Gilberts at the moment. This is also Aaron’s last chapter. I apologise for how long it has taken to get this chapter out. I have a lot of personal stuff going on at the moment (you may have some idea if you follow me on tumblr) and my computer has been throwing a hissy fit if I try to play sims too long. I’ve sorted things out with the computer now, but I haven’t sorted out any of the personal stuff so it might be a while again before I begin generation 10. But it is coming. 

Generation Nine Chapter Fourteen

Soon after Lia’s birthday came the holiday that is celebrated every winter, Snowflake Day. To celebrate, we invited my parents, brother, and sisters, and their partners, over to exchange gifts and spend some time together as a family.

 

Ethan and Leila’s partners couldn’t make it, but Naomi’s fiancé did make it. It was the first time I had met Emil, but from what I knew they had started dating in their junior year of high school.

Dad couldn’t make it, either, due to being stationed overseas over the holiday, which I think really upset Mum a bit, but she enjoyed spending time with her family.

Overall, everyone had a really great time.

 

It was very nice to see my family again.

 

Adalia was very happy with the bike we got her, not that she could use it in the snow, but I was sure that come spring time that bike would be used plenty.

The other two were not forgotten. Each of them were giving a teddy bear from me and Abby, and the three kids were spoiled rotten by their Grandma, Auntie Naomi, Uncle Ethan, and Auntie Leila. Katrina and Johann were a bit young, however, to understand what was going on.

All in all, it was a great celebration, and there was no one else I’d rather have spent it with.

Generation Ten Heir Results.

Thank you to everyone who voted. I’m not to surprised by the results, and I already have added a few ideas to my already concrete plans for this generation.

So, before I start waffling on anymore, I’ll announce the winner, the final heir of the Gilbert Vampiracy

 

The winner is Adalia! I never got a better picture of her, my game has been difficult lately. Miss Adalia Gilbert will be the one wrapping up the Gilbert Vampiracy.

Generation Ten Heir Vote!

I know. Gen 10! I think I’m going to go cry in a corner.

Anyway, there are three options for the heir.

Adalia

 

(I thought her eyes were open when I took this picture. I’ll replace it later, hopefully).

Adalia, who also goes by Lia, is the eldest child of Aaron and Abigail.

Traits:

• Disciplined
• Clumsy
• Loves the Heat

 

Katrina

 

Katrina is the middle child and youngest daughter. She doesn’t have a nickname at this point, but probably will later, Katrina has so many possiblities.

Traits

• Brave
• Virtuoso

 

Johann

 

Johann is the youngest child and only son. He doesn’t have a nickname either, but I can’t think of any.

Traits

• Excitable
• Athletic

So those are your choices. Remember traits will be added but I’ll probably be randomising them unless I come up with a story that needs specific traits. Good luck choosing, I know I can’t. 🙂

Generation Nine Chapter Thirteen

“I’m pregnant!” I grinned at Abby, pulling her into a hug.

“That’s great news!” I said, before kissing Abby. We were going to have another baby, Lia was going to have a younger sibling.

The next few months seemed to go pretty quickly. Adalia was getting older every day.

She was such a precious little thing.

Close to when Abby was due, it was Spooky Day. We didn’t do much to celebrate, but it surprised us to see how many teenagers in the neighbourhood were trick-or-treating. It was quite cool to see their costumes, some of them were quite creative!

The Spooky Day surprises didn’t end there, either. Not long after all the teenagers were gone, Abby went into labour.

After a few hours, our second daughter, Katrina was born.

Katrina was just as beautiful as her older sister. She had her mother’s hair and my mother’s eyes.

We had two beautiful daughters, and we were discussing having another child. Both of us felt like another child would complete our family.

 

Abby soon found herself pregnant again.

 

Winter soon came, and the snow started. Abby and I decided to enjoy it by building a snowman together. Something so childish to do, but it was fun, and it was nice for us to do that together.

 

I also decided to take advantage of the winter festival and try snowboarding. It was fun… until I fell on my butt.

 

It was soon time for our baby’s birthday. That’s right, our first born, little Lia, was turning 5 and starting school.

 

It was hard to see my beautiful little daughter grow up, and I knew it was only going to get worse as time went on.

It was not long after Lia’s birthday that Abby went into labour, and we went to the hospital for Abby to give birth to our third and probably final child.

 

We had a little boy who we named Johann.

 

He had my mother’s hair and eye colour, though we think his facial structure comes from Abby. Two girls and a boy. We felt our family was complete. At least for now. Maybe in the future when they’re all grown up we may be ready for some more, but for now, we were done.

—————————

AN~ Soon I’ll be putting up the heir poll, maybe in a few days. This won’t be the last chapter from Aaron, but I do like to know who the heir is fairly early so I can start planning and setting things up. I’m really interested to see what everyone thinks at this point, as well. Personally, I love all of them, and I can’t wait to see who you guys pick. 

Generation Nine Chapter Twelve

Life settled into a calm routine after the wedding. As much of a routine as was possible with my job. It was only three months after the wedding that Abby found out she was pregnant. We were both ecstatic. I was so excited to be a father, and Abby had always wanted to be a mother.

We decided to keep the gender a surprise, and discussed names for both genders. We were both so excited, and the pregnancy seemed to fly by. For me, anyway. Abby had been in a lot of pain.

 

When Abby went into labour I tried hard not to panic, and drove her to the hospital. After a long labour, Abby gave birth to a beautiful little girl who we named Adalia.

 

She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. She had Abby’s hair and my eyes, and the moment I saw her she me wrapped around her tiny finger.

 

We both adored her, and she was hardly ever left alone between Abby and I.

 

Abby was such a good mother as well, sometimes I liked to just watch her with little Lia, my two favourite girls. Abby did such a good job of teaching Lia the important skills she needed to know.

After Lia was potty trained, we decided it was time to try for another baby, and it wasn’t long until Abby was starting have morning sickness.

 

I was going to be a Daddy again.

Before Abby started to show, she came to me with the idea of having a family photo, just our small little family before anyone else was added. I easily agreed.

 

We had Ambro take a few photos, but there was only one we really liked. It was nice to be able to hang a photo in the house of the three of us. I loved both of them so much. My life was amazing, and I knew Abby agreed. If only her father had been able to see this.

————————-

AN~ I know this is a short chapter, sorry, but I was just so excited to show you guys little Adalia. She’s so beautiful.
