Adam bit down hard on his wrist; ripping through flesh and tearing the vein there. Blood sprang up and Adam instantly clamped down on to the now open vein; drinking the blood that flowed into his mouth.
"Adam! What are you doing!?"
Dane ripped Adam's head from his wrist. Dane felt a sharp pain in his chest. He knew why his brother was doing this to himself. He knew why his brother felt as if he deserved to die again. But he also knew that it wasn't his fault; that what had happened, the reason why his brother and he could never return to the hunting grounds, was no one's fault but the demon that had taken over his brother's body.
"Come on. Let's go. The sun is coming." Dane warned.
Dane turned and started up the stairs. He looked back and saw that his brother was still standing before the wide window.
" Adam. You know that the sun won't kill you or make you human again."
" But I can try Dane. I can try to burn that memory and the scars out of my flesh. Try to at least feel something more than coldness. I can try."
Dane forcefully grabbed Adam's shoulder and half drug half carried him up the stairs to Adam's bedroom
" Come on, Valerie. We need to get to class." Luna said.

Sam was on his way to school when he saw them. At first he thought that they were normal people who dressed weird until they flickered and he saw the horns jutting out of their heads and the wicked grin they wore on their faces. One had threatening claws that looked like they were dripping acid. The other had smoke twisting at his feet. Sam gazed in lack jaw terror and amazement for about ten seconds before he took off running for his life. His head hit the pavement with a sickening crack.
"Do you know what we do with prey that runs?" the one with claws hissed.
"We rip their flesh from their bones and burn what's left after our acid burns away the rest of their body." the other one said.
The demon with acid like claws started to rip at Sam's chest. Blood poured out of his chest like a waterfall. Sam whimpered. He knew that we wasn't going to live through this. The demon moved lower towards his stomach while the one with smoke pulled out a dagger and stabbed downward into his shoulder but just as the dagger almost pierced his skin Sam twisted and it sunk into his upper arm. Pain shot through his body; it felt like his skin was cracking and his blood was acid. The demon assaulting his stomach fell to the ground dead and Sam heard a hissing sound as a few drops of demon blood had fallen on his arm. The last thing Sam saw before he blacked out was a pale boy with dark hair standing over him and the demon with smoke fading.
