"Ana!" Mick St. John yelled, as he walked into his apartment "Ana, are you here?"

Mick smiled when he saw his 17-year-old daughter come down the stairs, a cup of blood in her hand. He never thought that he would ever get the experience of becoming a father. Supposedly, Vampires couldn't have kids. Well, Ana broke the rules.

17 years ago, Mick met Alina, another vampire. One thing led to another and Mick woke up to find Alina sleeping next to him. He quickly left. He knew that what they had between them wasn't love. It was just a one night fling.

Then, about a month or two before, Mick found Ana. Josef Kostan, Mick's best friend, had taken her in after her mother had died. Mick, realizing that this girl had features similar to his own, took Josef aside and questioned him about her.

Josef explained to Mick that Ana's mother was accidentally killed in a fire. He told Mick that he was walking by an orphanage, and sensed that a vampire was inside. Not wanting to take the risk of the vampire secret coming out, Josef went inside, found Ana, and took her in, promising the head of the orphanage that he would find the girl's father. He then told Mick how Ana defied the rules of being a vampire…that she was the result of a one night fling between two vampires. A paternity test was taken in a special vampire lab that Josef created when he had "saved" Ana from the orphanage. The test confirmed that Ana was Mick's daughter.

Mick, of course, was overjoyed when he got the test results back. Ever since he thought he had a son with his best friend's wife, Mick longed for a family. Well, he got what he wished for.

"Hey, Dad" Anastasia St. John said, smiling "What's up?"

"Nothing really" Mick replied "How was school?"

"It was alright" Ana replied, sitting on the couch "My math teacher gave us a pop quiz today. Not one of my most favorite things in the world, but, what can you do?"

Mick smiled and went to pour himself a cup of blood. "Were there any messages when you got home?"

"Beth called" Ana replied, turning on the TV "She didn't say what she wanted, but she wants you to call her"

Mick took a sip of his drink and headed over to call Beth. While he was on the phone, there was a knock at the door.

"Ana, could you get that?" Mick asked, as he listened to the phone ring on the other end of the line

Ana nodded, got up from the couch, and answered the door.

"Josef!" she said, smiling, hugging the man who had "saved" her from the orphanage.

Josef smiled and put his arm around the 17-year-old. "Hey, Ana" he said "How's things?"

"Great" she replied "You?"

"Things are alright" Josef replied "Where's Mick?"

"He's on the phone with Beth"

"There's a shocker" Josef said, rolling his eyes "Got any blood left?"

"Of course" Ana replied, picking up her glass and taking a sip. She motioned for the secret closet where Mick kept the blood "Have some"

Josef smiled and went to pour himself a glass of blood. He and Ana looked up when they saw Mick come into the kitchen.

"Mick, what's wrong?" Josef asked, not even bothering to say "hi" when he saw the look on his friend's face

"There's been a murder" Mick replied, softly

"Someone we know?" Ana asked

"No" Mick replied "But, it looks like the crime was committed by a vampire"

"That's happened before" Josef said, almost with a laugh "Remember? It just turned out to be some insane professor who thought that he was a vampire"

"Coraline" Mick said, looking to Josef "Beth said that, from the security photos, it looked like the murderer was Coraline"

Ana and Josef looked to each other and then back to Mick. "Are you ok?" Ana asked, knowing all about her father's ex-wife, and how he still had feelings for her, though he was in love with Beth

Mick slowly nodded. "I'm going to see Beth" he said "She told me to meet her at the park"

"Do you want us to come?" Josef asked, taking a sip of blood

"Sure" Mick replied, putting his black jacket and sunglasses on

Mick was out of the apartment before Ana and Josef had a chance to put their jackets and sunglasses on and follow.

"What's the deal with Dad and Coraline anyway?" Ana asked, as she and Josef tried to follow Mick "I mean, I know that you explained it to me, but he seems like he cares about her more than he says he does"

"Well, he did marry the girl" Josef said "Sure, that was over 50 years ago, but who knows? Coraline still has feelings for him, at least from what he told me and from what I've seen"

"Well, this ought to be interesting then"

My first attempt at a "Moonlight" fic! I hope that you like it!

Sorry for the short first chapter. The other chapters should be longer, depending on where I find good spots to stop! (laughs evily!)

Anyways! I hope that you like this!

Please Read and Review!!
