Son of a bitch! I'm going to rip the throats out of some mob guys if any of them are left standing after the damn shoot out at Ralph's. Ev was hurt. Isabella and Eric hicks were both injured as well. I'm not sure who all else were casualties. Ev sounded distracted when she called to let me know what had happened. I informed her I would let my Isabella know as well as ensuring that Col got to the hospital without having an accident.

How am I supposed to tell Isabella that Ev, Bella and her little brother were all injured in a gun fight at the bar? That Yuffie could be injured as well? That I have no details as to what really happened there? I think I finally understand how Isabella must have felt all those times she had to call to tell me about Eva.

I have to let Eva know what has happened as well. First things first, I'll call Isabella. Then I will go to Col and bring him to the hospital and take matters from there.

*picks up the phone and dials Isabella's number*

I swear if anyone is left standing who dared to lay a finger on those I care about? They will be dead before dawn.

He's dead. Julian Covault is dead and he wasn't tortured or left begging for mercy. He just died because he tried to hurt Eva and Cristoff ended it, as he should have. I can't help but wish my father had suffered even a little of what he did to us, his children, but I am relieved he is finally gone. No longer an obstacle or a nuisance to the rest of our family. I think it's best that it wasn't Eva, Ev or myself who killed him. I'm not certain that Col would have been able to live with one of his siblings killing his father.

I should speak with my brother soon, but I've spent the last few days avoiding everyone. With the new office now open in Sunnydale, it has been easy to lose myself in work and pretend that my personal life is fine. I said my goodbye's to Darla and Lindsey and made arrangements to visit with them in their new location once things were settled here and Lindsey caught a break from his new office. Keira has joined me in Sunnydale and we're staying with Eva and Cristoff while we search for a home of our home.

Col and Isabella have decided to stay on as well and are currently looking for their own home. I can't help but wonder how this town will take all four Covault siblings, our lovers, and our Grandmere for we didn't play fair and all four of us begged her to at least consider a summer home here.

Mostly I've been contemplating how much like Julian I really am. Out of all of us, I am the one who is most like my father and perhaps that shouldn't trouble me considering I chose to be a vampire, but the idea that as a mortal he was more of a monster than I could ever dream to be, unsettles me. I can't help but wonder when my brother and sisters will realize what I already know. Julian Covault lives on in me.

It looks like things are about to change majorly here. Lindsey got a promotion offer at his choice of a couple of the other firms. I'm not sure which he is going to take, but I know he won't turn down the promotion. Darla will go with him, but I told them that I'd like to take Lilah up on her offer.

She has been given the go ahead to open an office in Sunnydale, right on the hellmouth. She also has her choice at hiring her staff and she offered me the chance to be her assistant. It comes with a hefty raise, my own office, and the chance to be near my sisters and brother. I talked to Keira and she is coming back from Europe to move with me. We'll still visit Darla and Lindsey, but they deserve some time to themselves and we aren't just struggling fledglings any longer. They raised us well and I will do them both proud.

I have to let my family know that I'll be moving in soon. Col is living with Ev and Michael, so I'm going to see if Eva will be cool with Keira and me crashing at her place until we find our own home. I'll be taking my law classes with the firm's new online program. That should be interesting. It's made for those of us specializing in all aspects of demon law.

We need to figure out how we're going to deal with Julian too. I've been so busy with these changes that I haven't really given my mortal father a lot of thought. I'll head down to Sunnydale this week to check things out. Tonight I'm going hunting with Lindsey and Darla. Have to take advantage of the time we have left together.

Eva called to let me know that there is only one Julian. He's the father of all us and we have no idea what happened to the Julian in two of the dimensions. No idea which dimension this Julian was originally from. Just that he created the same family in each dimension. Married the same woman three times. Cheated with the same woman three times.

We were...science experiments? That is the best explanation I can come up with. He did things slightly different in my case which each me. In Ev's dimension he was the doting father who claimed his son and gave him his name. In Eva's dimension...I don't know. She didn't know about him, but who knows if he played a part in that Evan's life. Not that it matters. That Evan is dead.

Me? I was the one he had nothing to do with. Nature versus nuture in it's purest form. The son of a bitch. We're all siblings. Triplets? Two sets? I can't make sense of it. All I know is that Julian is a monster and I am a better man as a demon than he is with his soul and heart beat.

My father. He's not my father. He's nothing to me, but what does it say that I am probably the most like him? Ruthless and willing to do anything to achieve my goals. I was cold and calculating before I was turned. I willingly signed my soul over to Wolfram and Hart and had no problem working for them, knowing what they did, and I was still human.

Is this what he wanted? Am I the heir he wished to create? Someone who turned out to be the mirror image of his genetics. Someone that he could watch and observe like a scientist, waiting to see if the experiment would be a success or a failure. Someone he never claimed as his own, until now. Now, when I am a demon and this is when he wishes to embrace me. When he wants me to be considered his son.

What kind of fucked up dna do I have? Is this why Ev and I willingly became vampires? Was it in our blood to become something that was no longer human?

Science experiments. My brothers and sisters and I were nothing more than science experiments and the bastard got away with it with three dimensions. I have no doubts he killed the other Julians. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he played a hand in what happened to my brother. He was willing to let Eva die. Why should we believe he'd look at any of us differently?

I'm not sure what disgusts me more. Knowing that he really is my father and that he was capable of pulling this off or knowing that out of all of us, I am the one most like him.

Ev, Yuffie and I had no luck in tracking down Eva's father, but we did find some weird stuff in Julian's office. It looks like my hunch that Julian knew about dimension travel was right. I don't know if the Julian's are in contact with each other the way Eva and Ev and I are or what, but Ev is convinced that Eva's Julian has a picture of Ev and her Patrick. It's hard to wrap my mind around.

When we got back to Sunnydale, I went to check in with Eva and Cristoff and found Grandmere there. It was good to see her, but unfortunately, I couldn't stay for long. I had to be back last night to finish up some homework and look over some briefs for work. Darla and Lindsey seemed to have a good weekend and I was so restless that I just went in to work early today to get a jump start on everything.

I've got a Psychology test tomorrow night so I'll need to study for that tonight. My Criminal defense class has a project due in a couple of weeks so I better check in with my partner and see how she is doing on it. If she isn't up to par, I'll just have to complete it for both of us. I'll be damned if my grade suffers because I got assigned a flake for a partner.

Eva wasn't exactly happy to see me, but I think she's wanting to push everyone away while she sorts through her feelings. I understand that instinct because I do the same thing. Guess genetics are kind of funny that way. We talked last night and I think she was able to say some things she'd been keeping in, but I know there is a lot more buried deep. We ended up drinking a lot and watched a horror flick that she fell asleep during.

She wasn't kidding about those nightmares. I must have fallen asleep on the couch too because I woke up to her screaming about sharks and kicking at me. I'm not real coherent when I first wake up so when she was screaming about sharks, my instinct was to pull my legs up too. Turns out it was just a dream and sharks really weren't in the living room, but it took a lot to convince her of that.

I decided to wait until sundown and then I took off for a walk. Figured maybe Cristoff and Eva would like some space. I need to meet with Ev and Yuffie to discuss heading to Eva's dimension to kill her father, but

The door slams behind me and when the lights come on, I can see it's my living room from the apartment that Mom and I lived in. Fuck. Jimmy is home. I try to make it up the stairs quietly, but he looks up from the couch.

"Where the fuck do you think you're going, boy?" He asks, already off the couch and heading towards me. He's been drinking which means Mom has probably been drinking too. Perfect. I should have found some place else to stay. "Your room is a fucking mess. How many times does your mama have to tell you to pick up after yourself before you get a clue?"

I can't answer because he's backhanded me so hard that I fall against the stairs. I narrow my eyes, clench my fists and throw a wild punch back at him. "STOP HITTING ME. YOU AREN'T MY FATHER!"

"Evan Barrett!" Mom is screaming at me as she pulls me away from Jimmy just in time for him to hit her instead of me.

"Mom! I'm sorry. You son of a bitch, you hit my mom!" I lunge for him again, but he's already walking towards the door.

"I'm sick of this shit, Amanda. The terror is right. I ain't his daddy and I'm sick of trying to teach him respect." He slams the door and Mom looks at me with pure hatred.

"I never should have had you, Evan. My life would be so much easier if I'd just had the abortion that my mother begged me to have. You've ruined everything good in my life!"

I step back. Her words always hurt more than any of her boyfriend's fists. "I'm sorry."

"You wonder why I was gone through your entire life, Evan?" Julian's voice is taunting as he appears where my mother was standing. "Look at you. Your own mother wishes she'd never had you. Why would I want a fuck up like you for a son? At least Evalon's mother wasn't a common whore."

"My mother isn't a whore!" I growl out, but he just laughs.

"Would you prefer I call her a slut? What self respecting woman sleeps with a married man? Seduces a married man who has a young child and purposely gets pregnant so I will leave my family..." He shakes his head. "To think she thought you would be reason for anyone to want to be with her."

"I don't need you." I whisper, but he's just smirking at me. "I have a new family."

"You think that new family will accept you now? You're a vampire with mortal family members that you still care about. Even as a demon you are the weakest link, Evan. Always the weakest link."

"He has a point." Lindsey says in a tone that makes me want to curl up into a corner and hide. "I didn't sire you for you to be clinging to some sort of mortality. Eva isn't your sister, Boy. She's a mortal and that means she's food."

"No." I whisper.

"No?" He asks, and he looks like he's ready to slam me into the nearest wall. He sighs, shrugs his shoulders and then he's standing over me with a stake. "Fair enough. I'm not your father. I don't allow the weakest link to survive." The stake is just about to pierce my heart when I leap through a window to get away.



I'll have to check out that house later. Ev and Yuffie are expecting me at Ralph's. It's kind of weird that a house like that would still be for sale. I wonder if something is wrong with it?

Isabella called to inform me that Eva was hurt when she was sold out by her father to save his ass from the mafia. Julian Covault appears to be a bastard no matter which dimension he is in, but selling my sister out to save his own ass has only ensured he will die. No one touches my girls. Eva, it's not that I don't believe she can protect herself, but I already live with her mortality. I already live with the knowledge that the odds are she will be gone long before Ev or myself.

I can't...the idea that it could happen sooner as opposed to later terrifies and angers me in a way that I can only describe as primal. There is this rage inside me that I'm not sure I ever felt as a mortal. Julian Covault will pay with his blood for my sister ever being hurt.

I'm making arrangements to visit Sunnydale this weekend. As soon as the sun sets on Friday, I'm driving out and I'll stay with Eva and Cristoff. Yuff, Ev, you are the only two who can read this. I want to go back to Eva's dimension and take out Julian. Ev, if you want to go, I'll pay for another pixie to join us. Yuffie, money is no option, but I want this to stay between us. The old man will not get away with hurting Eva. No way in hell.
