There's a knock on the door, but no one responds.

"Sire, it's important!" A nervous male says before knocking again.

The man inside the room groans for he hates being disturbed when feeding. He departs his fangs from the dirty blond girl sitting on his lap. She pouts, looking down at the man with deep blue eyes, compelled to always want more.

"Get up," his stern voice makes her freeze and she obliges. She scatters up and stands before him, ready to take his next orders. "Leave," and she does.

"Come in," the man groans, clearly bored. A middle-aged man enters, almost shaking.

"Sire, there is some news-"

"About?" He cuts him off.

The middle-aged man quickly pulls his thinning hair from his face, "He's awake," he says in one breath.

"Who is awake?" The man's voice bellows, striking more fear into the middle-aged man.

"Ezekiel Pierce."

"What do you know?" The man runs over to the middle-aged man at an inhuman speed, grabbing ahold of his face, inflicting pain through his grip.

"He woke a few moments ago. Alice-Alice, she freed him."

"Is that all?" He asks and the middle-aged man tries to nod as he is too scared to speak.

And in one swift motion, the man snaps the neck of the middle-aged man, his body soon dropping.

"Annabelle?" He shouts and rushing in comes a young girl with brunette hair and ocean blue eyes. He approaches the girl, with bite marks scattering her body, and brings his hand to her neck, and skims his fingers over the bite mark be inflected just yesterday.

"Annabelle," he says, "clean this up," he points to the dead body behind them, "then come find me," and just as his words finished, she grabs ahold of the body and drags it out of the room, as if it were any other day.

He quickly leaves the room, in search of his workers who would know the answer to his questions.

"Explain to me the situation," he orders once he enters the office room.

"Alice removed the dagger from Ezekiel's body," someone says.

"Where is she," the man asks.

"In a cabin with her friends, she will be there the entire weekend," another vampire says.

"Someone get me her location, I will deal with her once and for all."

"I would advise against that, Sire," someone speaks up and the man glares at him, "the house is heavily guarded. They are protected by vampires but we do not know what kingdom they are from, or even if they are apart of the 5 Kings."

"Then where is Pierce?" He asks, unable to say his real name.

"Protected."

The man nods, "divisive a plan to get the girl or you'll have a few more bodies to clean up."

"Yes, sire," the guy gulps down his fear.

MONDAY - 30 Days After

"Thanks for picking us up," I buckle my seatbelt and look at Adam.

"Yeah no problem," he sighs and pulls away from the curb.

"You good back there Callum?" He asks my brother, in an attempt to disrupt the silence.

"Yeah," he leaves his answer short.
