Chapter 1

10 years ago..

"Billy give me my book back!.. moooooooom"
"Billy give your sister her book back, why are you always winding her up? You're supposed to be her big brother and take care of her, not pick on her!"

"Jeez Morgan you're such a baby" he threw the book at my feet and stomped away to his bedroom.

Billy was 5 years older then me. He had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes, I had curly blonde hair with dark brown eyes, we couldn't be more different, he was loud and funny I was quiet and timid. Well, for a 10 year old anyway.

Winter was coming and it was cold out. The quiet little village we lived in in the Lake District in England was beautiful in the winter. We didn't get loads of snow but when the morning frost was covering the fields it was beautiful.

The long nights were drawing in, it was starting to get dark now by around 530pm. My dad usually came home around 6pm and we would all sit down to eat dinner together as a family. Mums rules!

By 6.20pm we were all getting worried. He was never this late. My mum tried calling his phone but it just rang out.

By 7 we had cleared the table and mum was pacing back and forth, the roads were looking icy so she was panicking something terrible had happened.

By 8pm, I had showered and put my snuggly pyjamas on, I went to the lounge and gave my mum a kiss and hug goodnight.
She barely acknowledged me.
I knew she was really worried about Dad.

I poked my head in Billy's room on the way back to mine, he was playing on his x-box and shouting at someone into his headset.

I went to my room and got into bed.
I cried.
I was so worried about my Dad.
I cried myself to sleep.

I woke up to Billy's hand on my mouth, "don't scream Morgan" he looked terrified.
He grabbed me out of bed and I could hear screaming and things breaking downstairs.

We peeked over the bannister  that overlooked our living room.
We could see my mum being held by 2 men and my dad with blood all over his face laughing.

She was bleeding from her face, neck and arms and crying "why are you doing this John, please stop".

Then we saw him punch her in her chest and when he pulled back, her heart was in his hands.

I will never forget the look on my moms face before they dropped her on the floor.
The 2 men holding her started to bite her dead body, it was like they were feeding on her.
My dad started to eat her heart. I cried out loud.

Billy grabbed me quick and put his hand over my mouth, the 3 men looked up at us.

Billy picked me up and ran to his room and locked the door. We could hear footsteps and laughter getting louder.

He ran to his window and opened it. "We have to jump Morgan".
Is he crazy. I just looked at him.
Tear stained face and glued to the spot.

He came back to me and put his hands on my shoulders "Morgan you have to trust me" I took his hand and we climbed out the window.

I could hear my dad banging on the door "open the door little ones, daddy has a surprise for you!"

Billy's bedroom was above the garage and there was a little ledge that we climbed down.

Thankfully mum never locked the garage from the back. We climbed in carefully. I heard the shatter of wood, Billy's door breaking and Billy grabbed my hand and chucked me into my mums car.

He ran to the key box at the side of the garage and took the spare key to mums car.

I looked out the back window and saw the 3 men making their way in.

Billy started the car, 1 of the men jumped over the car and landed in front of us, he had black eyes and blood all over his chin and shirt, I screamed and so did Billy, Billy floored the accelerator and ran the man thing over, crashed through the garage door and out onto the street.

I looked out the back window and saw the 3 men watching us drive away.
I cried. Billy was crying.
"What happened Billy" I said through my sobs.
"I don't know, but what the fuck were those things?!" Billy was crying, I had heard Billy swear before, I told mom on him so many times. He always got in trouble for it. I guess he could say what he wanted to now.
         I cried until I fell asleep.
I woke up with my face stuck to the window. We looked like we were in a carpark.

"Where are we?" I asked him.
"we're at a service station, I figured Lots of cars and lots of people. We should be safe till we can get help".

"We need to phone the police Bill!!" I was crying again
"And say what Morgan? How dad and his demon looking friends killed our mum? How they fed on her? How I ran one over and he just popped back up again?" He started to cry to.

We hugged each other.

"So what do we do?" I asked quietly wiping my face with my sleeve.
"We're going to call grandma" he said.

"As in crazy grandma who dad banned seeing us because she's so completely crazy?" I asked shocked.
