Serus shook her head, "I'm fluent myself. I need you to stay here with Jason and your sister.

Hayden frowned, "I'm not just a weapon Serus Antinori." Before she could say more, the strange vampire was gone. She sighed, hugging Solomon tightly, "I-I'm not..j-just a weapon." She sniffled, trying to hold back her tears.

Solomon held her close with a sigh, "No, you're not, and Serus knows, she's just..not very good with children. Her own have destroyed that...little bastards they are--no offense Seth."
