Where Did I Go Wrong?

My greatest fears have been realized. Dorian told us. I guess I should go back a bit...

I was taking care of laundry. I went into Serenity's room long enough to put her clothes on her bed for her to put away when she got home from school. On my way out I caught a glimpse of what looked like a fake ID setting half hidden under a book on her desk. I stopped to take a closer look and realized my thoughts were right. She looked like and the ID said she was 21. I put the ID back and looked up to see a picture on the mirror of her and Raven. They were dressed in these stage like clothes and standing in front of a building with a sign I barely recognized... Apparently some of the nights she had been gone, she had another job. Some of the outfits in her closet confirmed my suspicions. I called for 'Kura and told him... Neither one of us is too happy. But then it gets worse.

We got a call from Cayden at school. Serenity passed out and the nurse was saying it looked like drug use. We got there and I saw the marks. Oriel confirmed what I thought. There were marks on her neck. Bite marks. Seems there's a new vampire in town. And this one is after my daughter.

Dorian says from what he can tell, she has been a donor for a while now. That isn't news we wanted to hear. 'Kura even went so far as to tell her she couldn't see the guy anymore. That went over about as well as if my father would have told me I couldn't see 'Kura again... I expected her to defy him.

I don't know what to do. Do I have Cayden and Nakia spy on her? Follow her around and make sure this guy doesn't drink from her again? Do I chain her to the bed and lock the windows and doors?

O_O... has she invited him in?

If she has and we stand in his way....

Our family could be in a great deal more danger than I first thought...
