Prologue
Devin sat silently in the bedroom, waiting. His blade sat leaned against his knees. Heartbeats of several people pounded in his ears, leaving him to contemplate how to protect Alex and Ella, and the two new twins, Calla and Lily.
The blade started to spin silently in his hands. Alex, Ella, Calla and Lily sat in the corner. They had already been taken once, at least Alex and Ella had. Sitting in the corner with them was Mariya. Her eyes glowed purple, fangs all the way out, searching the darkness for any signs of danger. Alex was only six, but he had already developed some advanced skills. Ella, four, had small fangs.
The hearts that were pounding grew louder as the figures approached the bedroom. That time it wasn't an organization, it was the work of a single man. He was a scientist who mutilated and experimented on people. He always carried a gun, poison, cigarettes and an array of other objects. The digusting odor of the cigarette drifted upstairs. He's coming…
Being as overprotective as he was, Devin stood guard. Why does he always think he's better protection then me? Mariya thought silently. It bothered her that he acted like women were inferior to men and incapable of doing anything. She'd show him, one day. One day, she'd save his life.
