Prologue
"Stop cheating!"
"I am not cheating!"
Two children were playing a game of Slewdo in their mother's bedroom. They had been arguing over the past five minutes.
"You are so cheating! You switched your cards! I saw you!" The girl yelled.
"Well it must've been your imagination," The boy replied.
"You come up with some of the worst lies sometimes,"The girl shot back, "That had to be your worst."
The boy just stuck his tongue out. And out in the distance there was a rumbling of thunder. The girl smirked.
"Mum's gonna tell you off."
"No she isn't! If she's going to yell at anyone, it's going to be you."
"CHILDREN!" A voice roared. A figure sped into the room, "I can't get any work done because of your racket!"
"Well it's not our fault that you have super hearing!" The boy moaned, only to receive a glare from his mum.
"Honey," Their mother said, referring to the boy, "You're two years away from The Decision. You've got to start preparing.
"And you," She said a little more harshly, looking at the girl, "You're older. You should be setting an example.'
"Sorry mum," She mumbled.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash outside the front door.
"What was that?" the boy asked.
Their mum peered outside. "Slayers," She hissed.
"Slayers?" The girl asked asked, "But how did they find us? We don't appear on any of their trackers."
"I don't know," Their mother answered truthfully. The sound of their front door was kicked open, "Kids, there are emergency packs in the back. Take them and find your older brother."
"But mum-"
"Go!" Footsteps were thundering up the stairs, "Find your brother. Do that for me kids. I love you both so much."
The two ran to the back of the room.
"Oh and kids," Their mother said, "Avenge your father for me."
The children nodded before taking the stairs at the back of the room. They found backpack and a suitcase for each of them. They heard the bedroom door being slammed open and a scream from their mum.
The girl felt the tears in her eyes.
"It's not long before they find us," She whispered to her brother, "We've got to go."
They ran outside, and saw ashes lying everywhere. The boy closed his eyes. They took one last look at their beloved home, before running to God knows where.
But the girl knew something. She would find her older brother, who left four years ago. And she would dust the Vampire that staked her own father in front of her. She had read the news. They were highly popular these days. She knew where they lived.
And nothing was going to stop her.
