She folds her fist hard and bites her lip before raising her head and looking up at the six foot of a man. “So you care about her, that’s good enough for me” she scoffs and turns around.“I will go with John,” she says.Samuel sighs, “Now I can be focused” he whispers to himself.Mrs McQueen walks to meet John, close to his mustang in the park.“I’m guessing he managed to convince you to follow me” John says.“Goddamn vampires.

It looks good” Cassandra says, “Okay, that sounds creepy”, Cassandra chuckles, “You seem to have some fire in you. John likes a fiery girl”. “Okay”, Rachael is still confused by this strange character. “So, you are the alpha”, Rachael says as she tries to draw Cassandra’s attention away from her hair. “Yes I am.

John gasps for breath as his body is jolted to life, he finds himself at the backseat of a car with two men in front. One of the men turns around to look at John who is shaken up. Of course, he has to be since he thought he was going to meet his family on the other side if he was lucky. But here he is, alive and awake. His mouth his dry and his belly churn as the image of his dead family flashes before him. His emotions gradually take over his rationality like a man on hard drugs and he begins to scream and cry as he punches the hood of the car. “Gabriel,” Samuel calls his brother who is driving, “Calm him down”, Gabriel says. “Silence”, Samuel shouts in a deep voice and like a scared little child John moves to one end of the backseat and wraps his hands around himself. He shivers as his skin slowly turns pale, “He needs blood, Gabe” Samuel says. “I know that” Gabriel says, “Why did you save him anyway?” “I guess I felt bad for him you know. Seeing your family killed before yo

"I’m not. I am aware that he is quite capable but instead of doing something that will most definitely kill him, why don’t we just text him the address. I followed them here, remember?”, Samuel says to his brother. “Once he gets here you can jump into his head, it is safer while he is in the vicinity. Jumping into his mind when you aren’t sure of his current location could just kill him and right now, dead John means dead us”, Samuel adds. Gabriel looks at his brother with a little bit of awe behind his eyes, “For a second there I almost thought you cared about John until you said dead John means dead us”, Gabriel says.“Just fucking text the guy, so we can get over with this. Rachael needs us”, “We can agree on that”. Gabriel pulls out a pager from his shoe, “You just carry a pager in your shoe?” “Shut up, Sammy”. Gabriel hands it over to Samuel, “Type in the location”. Samuel types in the location of his father’s lair and hands the pager back to his brother. “This is a big dro

“Mom?”, Rachael calls out to the figure in the dark and a familiar face appears. “Hey, baby girl” Mrs McQueen says to a 12year old Rachael. “Are you trying out a costume for Halloween?” Rachael asks as she moves her flowing long hair from her face and Mrs McQueen smiles. She wears a tight jacket with metal shoulder guard and a pair of black boots. Her jeans carry a sheathed dagger around her waist and there is something on her shoulder. It’s black and a bit dry. Rachael spots the same substance on her mother’s hand. “Are you and dad doing something weird because you look weird?”, “What do you mean by your dad and I doing something weird?”, Mrs McQueen asks. “You know, sex stuff” “Whoa, little miss” Mrs McQueen exclaims, “You should stop hanging with the wrong crowd,” she says.“That would be you and dad,” Rachael says and Mrs McQueen laughs. “Let me go and clean myself up”, Mrs McQueen starts to walk towards her and her husband’s bedroom but Rachael follows behind like a pesky i
