I look at him and he smiles at me. It almost seems as though my wasteful efforts of getting my father's love had not been in vain at all. Now I had him I didn't need my father. Now I had Will. I look at him and see my own handy work.

The handy work of a killer...

Being un-dead was a lot more exciting now that there's someone to share it with. However, he is causing a few rifts between me and Vlad. I didn't think I'd care, I mean he stole my father's love and the throne but a part of me hates it when we fall out. Will is always sniping at him and sometimes I find myself getting very angry. I think its pride...or maybe it could be...L...lo...no never. We don't feel compassion, just thirst and lust for blood, a partner along the way is a bonus!

Vlad walked in and sat down at the table next to me. He gave me a small smile. I studied him carefully, he confused me a lot. He had everything yet he pushed it all away. Why? Why would he...

"Hey look it's the freak. Been to see the breathers? Cor, blimey! You reek of them" Will snarled.

Vlad's smile turned into a bigger one as though he'd pulled the ultimate plan.

"As a matter of fact I went to see your parents, you know to show them my...condolences" Vlad gave a slight chuckle.

"You did what!" Will face dropped and he clenched his fists. He stood up towering over Vlad. I had to admit I was a bit scared. I had turned him into this!

Vlad, on the other hand, stayed very calm. He looked up at Will, his eyes shining brightly.

"What are you going to do? Punch me? I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid of my sister turning like you. You see half-fangs only crave those that smell good." He gave me a reassuring look. "I don't want to fight you Will! I just want to make sure your good enough for my sister" And with that he left the room.

"How dare he! How dare he show me up like that? He has no right to..." Will banged his fist upon the table.

"Will calm down" I stood up and grabbed his arms. I looked deep into his eyes. Those that were like a maze to me. A maze I could get lost in forever. He relaxed, unclenching his fist to reveal the blood pouring from his hand. As I went to touch it he pushed me onto the floor.

"Ouch! What are you trying to do?! Your just like him, family always comes first!" He shouted at me as though I were a child.

"What! I would always choose you! And you know it!" I screamed. Tears poured down my face.

"You got a funny way of showing it!" He hissed and went in a flash.

I put my head in my hands.

"Ingrid! Are you Ok? Did he hurt you? I'll hurt him if he did...Ingrid?" Vlad rested his hand upon my arm. His hand was so warm, yet he was so dead. We all were in this family yet he had enough life to fill us all. It made me feel sick. His smell was nauseating.

"Get away! I don't need you! I wish you didn't exist you have no meaning...no purpose!!!" I spat at him.

"Fine! You know what you're right my existence has no meaning! But I can't change the fact that I was born and dad just happens to be sexist when it comes to children!" He stormed out of the room.

I got up. I always felt better when Vlad was around but now all I wanted was Will. Will and blood. Living on bottled blood was nasty I needed proper blood, live blood.

I got up and went down into the blood mirror room for some guidance but someone was already in there. I put my ear to the door to listen.

"I am lost and confused! Give me some guidance! Anything! Please!

It was Vlad doing the same as I was going to do.

"Why is he...no...? Not her! Anyone but her! Please! I can't let this happen!"

What was he on about? Was he talking to himself or the...the mirror!

The door opened and my eyes met with Vlad's. He looked down at the floor.

"It's Will he's going to kill" He cried, tears were rolling down his cheeks.

"Who?" I asked instantly.

"C...Chlo...Chloe" He only just managed to say her name.

This was bad. Chloe! He promised me he would never. He promised me. He promised.

"We have to stop him! Ingrid! Come on!" He grabbed my hand, signalling me to speed off but I couldn't, I just shut down.

"INGRID! We need to save Chloe! He's going to KILL her!" Vlad screamed.

I stood there blankly. Why couldn't I move?
