The music was loud and violent as the vampires who danced on the floor. Drake and the rest of us were in a back room merely waiting for my brother to cause a disturbance. Danica was in the corner making out with a teenage human girl who was unaware she was being fed off of. I was stationed by Drake's side and he had a large sword sprawled across his lap. Would he use that to fight my brother?

"It won't be long now." Drake said his voiced edged with excitement and I just looked down. It was only a matter of time before Eric was here. I didn't want to wait here. I didn't want to watch Asher be turned on by his sister's feeding or watch Jarko make kissy faces at his Pomeranian mixed with vampire genes. I suddenly got up.

"Where are you going?" Drake asked all too quickly, before I even finished standing up. I looked down at him to see he was looking at me quite seriously.

"Why?" I asked and he stood up as well, his eyes not leaving mine as he now loomed over me.

"I don't want you out of my sight." he said and I looked down for a moment and then over at Asher and then back up at Drake.

"Asher will be with me." I told.

"What?" Drake asked sharply and Asher looked over quite caught off guard by my words. I shrugged.

"He can watch me while I go dance." I replied and he showed his fangs as a silent snarl emitted from him.

"Do you even know how unacceptable that statement sounds?" he asked and I smiled.

"You must wait for Blade. Asher will make sure I do not escape." I replied and he still did not look convinced.

"As if you would willingly leave and leave your child behind." He told and I glared.

"You will not let anything happen to my child." I replied and now most of the vampires were shocked at how I was speaking to their master, their lord of all vampires. Drake just arched a brow with deep, murderous eyes. I inhaled calmly.

"Just one dance and I will be back. I promise." I replied and he snorted.

"Your promise means nothing. I will believe you when you are back in this room." he stated and I smiled and leaned forward and kissed the tip of his nose.

"One song. Come Asher." I replied and Asher quickly nodded not even looking in Drake's direction. He followed me from the room and we moved down stairs and into the large dark dance room. I could hear Rammstein's Sonne starting to play. I looked at Asher. "You can either watch me dance, dance yourself, screw someone here, or feed. Your choice."

Asher looked around the room and nodded.

"As you wish." he said and I nodded.

"It beats watching your sister do what you can't." I replied and then moved into the crowd. I had a clear path to walk even though the whole area was full of dancing. I could hear people hissing at me as I passed. They smelled me. Daywalker. My body moved with the music and I danced by myself letting the loudness drown out my thoughts and my actions. I moved my hands above my head and swung my hips from left to right merely enjoying the freedom I had from being in Drake's room. Eli was the only thing that swam through my mind. I turned now looking at everyone dancing and biting and feeding and killing. Through it all I saw him. He stood there like a statue amongst reckless children.

Eric. My lips formed a smile and I watched as he began to walk towards me. Still his serious demeanor was still intact. He did not smile or spread his arms out and run to me. As he neared me my dancing stopped and I lifted my arms and spread them. Now the music around me, the loud disturbing music, faded from my mind and once Eric was in front of me I gripped him tight and pulled him close to me.

"You found me."I whispered in his ear and finally he embraced me.

"Are you hurt?" he asked and I shook my head as I held him to me.

"No." I replied and before we could even enjoy this moment I heard a loud yell splitting through the silence and the crowd parted like the red sea to Moses and I saw Drake running towards us, mouth open to release his loud powerful roar, and his sword was up. In seconds I feel my body fly across the room and I fall down towards the ground. People are running all around and now guns were firing and I covered my ears only for the split second that it shocked me. I saw my brother clashing swords with one another and I did not want to see it. I did not want to see who would win or lose. I got up and ran through the hyper crowd and moved towards the hall I had come with Asher through. I ran up the stairs and back down the hall and to our room only to find everyone was gone.

I turned quickly and ran back down the hall. As I did I heard a clicking noise and I paused and turned quickly to see some woman pointing a large arrow at me. She had brunette hair pulled back and a red tank and cargo black pants. She pulled the arrow back and released it and it was fast, faster than anything I had ever seen. But that did not stop me from catching it between my hands and her eyes widened. Her scent was not hidden, she was a human. I looked at the arrow and quickly through it down baring my fangs now. As much as I wanted to live like a human I would be damned if I was going to let a human kill me. I kicked my heels of quickly and dashed for her and she had another arrow ready to fire at me and she did, but with my speed I dodged clear as day and I tackled her right down the stairs. I had landed on her and I planted her face down into the ground and quickly gripped her arms pulling them back behind her. I heard her yelp out and I did not know who she was, but she attacked me first and so I had to retaliate.

"Tamara wait stop!" someone yelled and I looked over to see a man in a black jack and black pants. He had a gun pointed to me and it put no fear in me. "We're here to help you. We're Blade's friends."

"She fired first." I replied.

"I'm sorry. I thought you were a vampire." the woman replied and I looked down at her.

"I am one." I told and she nodded.

"Yes but I did not know you were Blade's wife." she exclaimed and now I tilted my head giving the woman quite a disturbing look. I jumped off her and looked at the man.

"You're friends of Eric?" I asked and the man moved to help the girl up.

"His name's Eric, I mean yes. I am Hannibal King and this is Abigail Whistler." he told and I looked at the woman now. Her last name was like the other man, Eric's mentor.

"We have to get you out of here this place is going to blow in a few minutes." Abigail replied and before I could protest they were guiding me for the door.

"What about Eric?" I yelled out.

"He can handle himself he only ordered to get you out!" Hannibal called out. No I could not leave Drake.

(Normal POV)

Most of the club was in ruins from Blade and Drake's fight. They clashed swords quickly before jumping back. Drake smirked.

"Ah you have gotten stronger day walker. I knew there was hidden potential in you and all it took was for you sister to be in my possession." he told and Blade only gripped his sword tight.

"I guess I have you to thank for bringing her back then." he said venomously. Drake laughed now and ran towards him colliding his sword with Blade once more.

"Do you really think I would give her up to you? Oh no Blade you do not get your sister back. She serves a bigger purpose for me now." he told and Blade pressed his sword back into Drake before kicking the vampire back and running back towards him clanging swords against him once more.

"My sister will not be a pawn in your failed attempt to take over the world."Blade said baring his fangs once more and Drake shook his head now.

"No Blade not pawn, mate is the better word." he told and through his sunglasses Blade's eyes widened. He heard the ticking of his watch start to ring and he pulled back swiftly and spun fast kicking Drake through the nearest wall. He turned and quickly rushed out the closest window before the bombs he had planted during the day had ignited and exploded. He rolled quickly over broken glass and stood up and looked at the fire that rose to touch the sky. A large van suddenly pulled up beside him and he got inside where he saw his sister looking at the fire with wide eyes and fear maybe.

"He's not dead." Blade said suddenly and sat beside his sister who looked back at him.

"Fuck of course not." Hannibal said and Tamara looked at Abigail who lifted her head.

"Sorry about earlier." she told and the female daywalker nodded. Hannibal looked over the driver's seat he was in.

"So what no reunited kiss?" he asked and both siblings looked at him.

"I am his sister." Tamara said and Hannibal's eyes widened and he just looked back around.

"Fuck me." he told and Blade looked down at his sister and slowly removed his glasses and looked deeply at his younger sister. The eye contact they showed was more of a conversation then the words they spoke.

"You knew." Blade only replied and Tamara stared right into his face.

"Yes." she replied.

Meanwhile Danica and the rest of the vampires who survived the attacked watched the flames burned thinking the king of their race was gone.

"I thought we had them. We almost had Blade." she hissed. Asher was looking down with sadness of his own, but it was secret sadness. Not for the fact that the only person strong enough to kill blade was gone, but because the beautiful daywalker who was no longer in their clutches. Jarko just huffed and shook his head as he held his dog, Pac man to him. Suddenly the flames began to show a figure coming from inside.

"Oh shit." Jarko said and everyone now looked up to see a demon like figure moving from the flames which now started to disappear from his body and as the flames disappeared so did the demonic figure. All that was left was Drake standing there in the same clothes from earlier. His eyes were the only things still showing from his demonic form. Everyone stood wide eyed as Drake paused in his stride. He looked at Danica.

"We are moving locations." Was all he replied and she was still stunned that he was before her. She bowed her head and looked at everyone.

"Let's go!" she called out and everyone began moving and Drake looked towards the horizon. The sun was starting to show its colors.
