Thanks to the 2 people who reviewed! once again 12 Withering Roses your review has brightened my day :D I think I did good with this chapter, I hope you like it as much as I do!

I stared in wide eyed shock at the vampire that stood before me. Josef noticed the expression on my face,"What is it?" He asked.

"It can't be - " I gasped.

"It's not." the vampire said,"I'm not your sire Katherine, my name is Alexander, his brother."

"What?" I said confused. I studied his appearance and noticed some major difference's between Phillip, my sire, and this guy. Phillip was tall, about 6'4". Alexander here looks about 6'2". Phillips bone structure is different too, Alexander has sharper features. Other than that they could pass as twins.

"What do you want? Where are Mick and Beth?" I asked my shock turning into anger.

"Your friends are fine, I will let them go. I needed a way to get you here somehow. Now you will pay for killing my brother." He said his eyes becoming clouded with anger and a tinge of sadness.

"But he killed my sister!" I said and suddenly I remembered that night 130 years ago like it was yesterday...

My sister, Jessica, stood in shock as she saw me for what I truly am, a vampire. She took a step back in fear,"No,no! You're not my sister!" she shouted.

"Jess, please, it's me." I said taking a step toward her.

"Stay back, you monster!" she yelled and grabbed the sharpened wooden stick from the table that she always had near her ever since she saw my sire feeding off of a young girl a few nights ago.

"Jess, you must understand, I won't hurt you!" I pleaded.

She ignored what I said and lunged at me with the stake. Suddenly my sire Phillip intercepted her and hit her a little too hard. She flew across the room and hit the wall, then she fell and hit her head on the sharp corner of a table that was against the wall. Blood poured from her mouth from internal bleeding caused by the impact with the wall.

I ran over to her. I could barely hear her heart beat. It was so faint. She wasn't going to live long. I held her in my arms as she died. With her last breath she managed to speak two words,"I'm sorry." With that she closed her eyes and her heart stopped forever.

My flashback ended when Alexander spoke,"He only killed her to protect you, she tried to stake you remember?"

"Of course I remember, and I could've stopped her without killing her!" I snapped angrily.

"Phillip was just trying to help you Katherine, and you killed him." He said defending his dead brother. Another memory flashed through my mind...

"How could you?!" I shouted at Phillip rising from Jess's body and turning to face him," You killed her!"

He looked at me sympathetically,"Kate, I - "

"Save it!" I spat angrily interrupting him. I turned to the fireplace mantle where a sword was kept on display. It grabbed it and turned to face my sire, my eyes changed and my fangs extended.

He took a step back and was about to say something, but before he could speak I ran at him so fast he didn't have time to move. In blind rage I swung the sword. At first, I thought I missed, but then his head fell to the floor followed by his body, a shocked expression frozen on his face. Realizing what I had done I dropped the sword, fell to my knees, and wept.

When my flashback was over tears streamed down my face. I wiped them away stubbornly. I had told myself all these years that killing my sire had been the right thing to do. He had killed Jess, my sister, the only family I had left after my parents died. But I know deep down he was only trying to protect me, because he loved me, and I killed him.

"I shouldn't have killed him," I said aloud, tears filled my eyes again, I didn't bother to wipe them away this time,"I'm sorry."

"It's too late for that, I will avenge my brother." He said angrily. His eyes changed from brown to white and his fangs grew.

"Do two wrongs really make a right?" Josef asked. I had almost forgot he was there. He had been listening, surprisingly silent, the whole time. I looked over at him, he looked at me and noticed I was crying, and to my surprise, his eyes softened.

"No." Alexander answered," But it sure will make me feel better." He lunged at me, Josef tried to stop him but was caught off-guard by a vampire that I hadn't even noticed before. In the milliseconds I had before Alexander reached me I was shocked to see the other vampire was the one that's been following me. He must be working for Alexander, helping him find me and luring me in.

Alexander crashed into me suddenly and pinned me to the ground. I bit into his arm loosening his grip. I escaped his grasp and jumped to my feet. He ran towards me. I stood still, waiting. At the last moment I jumped high into the air and he ran under me. Gravity brought me down on top of him. When I landed on him I heard a sickening crack as he landed on his leg awkwardly. He cried out in pain. I quickly jumped away from him and something hit the back of my head as I backed up. I spun around and saw a small metal chain. Curious, I pulled on it and the pitch black warehouse became filled with light revealing boxes and shelves filled with useless junk. Alexander was struggling with his leg, a bone was sticking out of it and he was losing blood quickly, he was struggling to push it back into place.

I took this chance to check on Josef. The vampire was circling him and Josef was growling at him waiting for the perfect moment to attack. Seeing that Josef was OK, I started to search for Mick and Beth. I walked around the shelves and boxes and made my way to the back of the warehouse. Before I reached it I came across a table laden with weapons. There were guns, knives, and even swords. I picked up a large sword and touched the tip of the blade. It burned my finger on contact. It was made of silver. I made a quick decision and walked back to the entrance of the building to find that the vampire had Josef pinned against a wall now. Silently I walked up behind the vampire thats been following me and harassing me the past few days and then swung the sword that I held in my hand through his neck and he fell to the ground, decapitated.

"Take that." I said to the severed head at my feet.

"Remind me not to piss you off." Josef said grinning.

"Will do." I replied with a smile.

I heard a grunt behind me. I turned around to see that Alexander was on his feet. He had managed to pop the bone back into place and his leg was healing slowly. He looked up at me with anger in his eyes. With the little strength he had he ran at me. I swung the sword aiming for his neck and he ducked quickly. As the sword passed over his head his hand shot up and grabbed the part of the hilt I wasn't holding and snatched it out of my hands. Before I could even react he rose up and ran me through with the silver sword, right between the ribs.

I have never felt that kind of pain ever in my life, as a human or a vampire. When I was human, I've broken bones and got nasty gashes. As a vampire, I've fallen off buildings, been shot multiple times, and cut to shreds, but I have never experienced anything more painful and agonizing than being stabbed with a sword made of silver.

My vision went white and I became dizzy. I fell to my knees. I couldn't even scream. Alexander let go of the hilt and backed away.I tried to pull the sword out with no prevail. Tears filled my eyes. At that moment I felt like I was going to die.
