I could feel myself sinking through the darkness, until I was finally able to see again and a familiar sight greeted me. I was surrounded by a mist that resembled the Aurora Borealis, but it was much less thick this time. I could see my core glowing in the distance, it was shining brightly and was also releasing a low hum that caused my insides to shake. I advanced forward and placed my hand on my core, and it felt like electricity coursed through my body, as a single emotion coursed through my body.

  Hunger.

  Third Person POV

  The sky was getting darker as day turned to dusk. Vivian and Alaric had already called Lilian and Elliot, and the two of them rushed home to see what happened to Chrissy. Chrissy has developed a fever, which was not common among supernatural, unless there was foul play involved….like a demon using sorcery.

  “I’m telling you, it must have been that demon?! She is at his house the other day and now she’s sick.” Elliot said pacing around the living room, completely enraged. Unsurprisingly, he suspected that Victor had something to do with his daughter’s current state.

  “Look, we still don’t know whether Victor is a demon or not, and even if he was, why would he use magic on her to make her sick?” Vivian tried to reason with the livid Elliot, but he wasn’t hearing it.

  “Then how do you explain what’s happening to her? One minute she’s fine and the next she’s having a fever. She has never had a fever before, so why now?” Elliot said

  “Ok, so how do you propose we fight this demon? We can’t just storm his front door. We have no idea what he’s capable of.” Alaric asked and Vivian looked at him

  “I can’t believe you’re agreeing with him on this.” She said angrily

  “Look, if this guy or thing or whatever this Victor is is causing Chrissy to be sick. Then that’s a message that he’s not a friend to this family.” Alaric said and Vivian looked him in the eye with a pissed off expression on his face

  “You impulsive little twat. And what if we are wrong? It could mean all of us getting killed.” Vivian said

  “Whether this Victor guy did it or not, he still owes us an explanation. Everything started with him and his backstory is a bit too convenient. Not to mention the fact that those pictures of him simply disappeared like they weren’t there in the first place. There is something weird about him, even you should be able to see that.” Lilian chimed in and Vivian bit her lips. She could sense that things were getting out of control, and if she didn’t get everyone to calm down, they would make a mistake that couldn’t be undone.

  “If you are scared Vivian then you can stay home. You weren’t really apart of this family to begin with.” Edward snarled and Vivian looked at him with a furious look on his face

  “Edward!!” Camilla exclaimed at her husband’s harshness, but he didn’t pay attention to his wife

  “I have some weapons in the basement. If you we are dealing with a demon then we are going to need enchanted weapons, they are the only thing that can actually hurt a demon. Alaric help me grab them.” Edward said, he hasn’t wielded an enchanted weapon in many years, but he would once again pick up arms to protect his granddaughter.

  “Wai-” Just as Vivian was about to plead with them once more, they all heard a knock on the door. The room froze for a moment and the air became still as they wondered who would visit them at this hour. Vivian walked towards the door and Edward tried to stop her as he had no idea who it was, but she flipped him off and walked towards the door. She swung the door open and everyone prepared to attack.

  “Good evening, is this the Pierce residence?” Asked an unfamiliar male voice

  “Yes it is. Why are you here?” Vivian answered

  “Oh, thank God. The directions were kind of vague and there were so many beaten paths out here, I was afraid I might have gotten lost or found the wrong house.” The person said as he entered the house, revealing himself to be Victor. He was wearing his bag pack and a purple sweater. As soon as he entered the room, Elliot’s eyes glowed red and he dashed towards Victor with his fangs elongated.

  ********************************

  Chrissy finally woke up from her sleep with a nasty headache. She groaned as she rolled around in her bed feeling like shit, and the muffled sounds coming from downstairs only made it worse. She looked over and she could see her phone on the table beside her bed and picked it up. She could see a string of messages and missed calls from Sasha, Jayce and an unknown number. She read through the messages asking if she was ok and why she wasn’t at school. She also saw one from the unknown number saying that they were going to come to her house.

  ‘Was…was that a gun shot just now?’ She thought sluggishly as she heard several gun shots coming from downstairs. She groaned and got up off her bed and went downstairs. She could hear more shots being fired and the scent of blood lingered in the air. She could smell her father’s, mother’s, Alaric’s, her grandfather’s and….

  ‘Victor.’ She thought and hastened her steps as her fangs extended and her eyes glowed. She made it downstairs and she could see smashed furniture and smell the blood in the air more clearly.

  “Edward, stop.” She heard Camilla scream and she looked outside to see the door ripped off it’s hinges.

  “Lilian, Elliot!!” She heard Vivian scream and her eyes widened as she saw the scene outside. Alaric was on the ground with a Rambo knife in his neck, causing blood to spurt from his neck and him to struggle to breathe as he tried to pull it out, but he had bullets in his hands. Lilian was on ground, her body riddled with bullet wounds and she was screaming in pain as more than a few of them pierced her heart and lungs. Elliot and Edward were covered in wounds, but they were advancing towards Victor who had a silver dessert eagle in his right hand and a golden handled Rambo knife in his left. He had a scratch across his cheek and a blood splattered across his clothes.

  “Come at me you crusty old, blood sucking, leech, ugly pale skinned motherfuckers.” He said and pointed his gun at Elliot and Edward and both of them snarled at him.

  “What the fuck are you guys doing?!!” Chrissy shouted, grabbing everyone’s attention
