Eight days. Eight days I've been traveling on foot in this thick, dense forest. I've ate halfway through my supplies, and I've ran out if rain water an hour ago. I'm dehydrated, hungry for blood but no animal can satiate. I want human blood. I want Spencer's blood. I want him.

I came through a clearing and decided to change and rest for an hour. Changed into another set of shorts and a tank top, I pulled my wildly wavy hair from my face and piled it on top of my head, and I drank down a liter of blood.

It was mildly hot, humid at most, but nothing to set the mosquitoes array. Nothing I can't handle. I set myself down against a rock up at the darkening skies. Nightfall was approaching again.

Wind picked up. The sunset was replaced with soot. My senses felt it approaching. The darkness was swarming again.

Before I even had a chance to think, a cyclone-like funnel around me, spinning me off my feet and clogging my lungs with this death fog and burning mist.

"Thou shall not live!" It screamed sucking the air from my lungs. "Die abomination! Die! Die with your ancestors!"

"Leave her alone!" Someone shouted. A male has jumped from the trees and clutched my ankle, pulling from the tornado. I landed on my side and the man covered me.

"Give her to me! She is mine! Kill the prodigy! Kill!"

"You'll have to kill me first!"

The demonic voice roared in anger before dissipating along with the mist and wind. I ripped away from the man and scuffles backwards.

"Hello, my name is-"

"Stay the fuck away from me." I threatened.

He neared closer. "Wait-"

"Stay the fuck away from me!" I repeated.

"Please, let me explain myself. My name is Ethan and I know what you are, who you are, and you're parents."

"You don't anything-"

"Ella and Markus right? I am Isaac's son."

I cringed. He's bad. Isaac tried to kill my parents.

"I know why you're thinking, yes I did attempt to kill your mother and father but I espionage against my own father to protect them. You won't believe this but some would consider you my niece."

I stared at him, uneasiness settling fast but curiosity outweighed my thoughts.

"Explain."

"Come, sit." He said while he led me into his living room. However, three others where waiting also. "Everyone, this is Danielle. Danielle meet my wife, Veronica, my twin children, Peter and Carrie. Hon, this is Markus and Ella's daughter."

"Wow," Veronica said touching my shoulders. "Beautiful like your mother. She should be proud."

"Speaking of your mother, where is she? Why were you alone?"

"As you saw earlier, I'm running. And I would appreciate if you didn't tell them where I am or where I'm heading."

"Your parents should help you with The Darkness."

"Well my life's a little more complicated than that. It's easier if I deal with this myself. Less people get hurt, and that's minus the fact I can't seem to get my bloodlust under control."

"Veronica why don't you take the kids to the park? I want to speak to Danielle."

The room vacated and he looked annoyed. "That's a bad idea."
