Vampires and Lycans - The Never Aging Game

After 18 generations of full blood vampires, I finally found a half blood. I have heard the elders of my family talking about half bloods in the other clans but not ours. My younger brother Matteo whom was disowned by the clan, married a lycan and produced the hybrid. A hybrid in a long line of pure bloods, my aunt Gisela could not believe what our leader was telling us. Our mission is to destroy the abomination, my sister pulled me aside after the meeting and asked how are we expected to kill an innocent child.
My sister is the compassionate one, you see Drucilla has never killed a mortal. She feeds on the blood transfusion bags of blood, father calls her a disgrace to all vampires everywhere. One the other hand my sister Jasmine embraces the feeding as a sport and not survival. I love the challenge of trying to find the abomination and destroying it. A hybrid does not belong in a clan of vampires the child would be killed when someone saw it.
Our clan has come to the decision we must consult with the ancestors. I hate waking Hilda and Agatha you can smell the years on them, the ancients are the ones the elders fear. I do not show fear for they are the reason I have to hide myself from the world. My favorite part of the whole ceremony is spilling the blood of an innocent because the ancients awake when blood is poured on their graves. The ancients do not look a day over age 50, however they are over 400 years old.
When the vault that held Hilda's body opened a rush of air came with it, the smell of stale air seeped from the crypt. As she emerged into the moonlight all kneeled to her, that is except for me. Hilda walked to the spot where I stood her Romanian accent as thick as fog,"you do not bow to me, why?" I looked into her green eyes,"I do not feel I should kneel to someone whom has been locked out of sight for three hundred years." She nodded her head and smiled at me, I could see the glisten of blood on her fangs. The ancient walked to the vault beside hers,"where is the innocent that is to be waking Agatha?"
My aunt Gisela walked forward with a blindfolded woman,"this is she great mother," Hilda took the woman's hand,"it will all be over soon my dear." The ancient helped the woman kneel, her position was right where the blood would seep into the vault. I watched the ancient very closely from her pocket Hilda drew a knife, in one easy motion she drew it across the woman's throat. The sacrifice fell onto the vault door and covered the stone in blood, after a moment two of the clans men removed the body and threw her into the lake with the other. Agatha rose from the depths and made a gesture to me,"come child, tell me what year is this," I smiled at my ancestor,"it is two thousand and ten ma'am." Agatha turned to her sister,"well this must be serious they woke both of us," Hilda smiled,"it is I'm afraid, a hybrid has been born into the clan." Agatha's smile disappeared from sight,"a hybrid has been born to whom," my father stepped forward,"my son and his wife ma'am have produced a hybrid child." Agatha looked at Hilda,"I want the hybrid destroyed before it grows strong enough to destroy us." Hilda turned to the clan and looked out,"tell us how this happened," our leader Adolf stepped forward,"you see Madame's this is not the first child, we have had three since your daughters."
Agatha looked at Adolf,"you mean that one of our children bore a hybrid?" Adolf stepped closer,"yes, your majesties they did and one child is presently here." Hilda looked around,"I want that child to step forward and make it known," a woman with red hair stepped forward,"it was me mother." Hilda stepped closer to the woman,"Elizabeth, you bore a hybrid child that could destroy us all," Elizabeth smiled,"yes mother, I did when you and aunt Agatha went into hiding."
This is how we discovered how the hybrids came to be in our clan, the ancients very own daughters were the source. I vowed at that moment I was going to find Matteo's child and destroy it. All of the clan members have been on the hunt, for you see it wont be hard to track Matteo he always leaves a trail of blood. My very own part of the line is cursed, for you see Matteo is a hybrid. He is half vampire and half lycan, when he was small he was bitten by a lycan. The child transformed and took on the characteristics of a lycan and a vampire, a very ugly creature. My mother wanted to kill him and put him out of his misery, but my father sent him away to live with our aunt in Ireland. Father said she could care for Matteo and try to control his urges when he transforms. Aunt Eileen did a great job caring for Matteo he controls himself, his child still has to die according to the clan.
