When Macy opened her eyes, she felt...

Normal.

'Macy-? Are you ok?'

She looked up at Damon, then chuckled. 'Yeah actually.' The stood up, letting Damon hug her tightly. Blair stood up now, turning away.

'Where are you going?' Macy called after him. Blair chuckled and said. 'I'm a fugitive mom, best be off before I have my handsome face ripped off.' Diana shook her head with a laugh, then said. 'But-?' Blair rolled his eyes.

'Look- I'm dead if I stay.'

Macy sighed. 'At least wait a little while...' Blair laughed now. 'Uhh, I'm off. Love you and goodbye.'

He was gone before anyone had chance to speak.


Diana sighed, sat under the tree at school, drawing again.

Then a shadow crossed over her paper, and she looked up to see Jeremy. 'Hey.' She said with a half smile. He sighed, then sat down next to her, looking at her picture of the parking lot and said. 'That's really good.' Diana smiled. 'Thanks.' then she set it down, fighting back tears suddenly.

Jeremy frowned, putting his arms around her shoulders, pulling her to him and going. 'Hey, what's wrong-?'

Diana chuckled a little. 'Oh... family... and are you ok-? Mom...' Jeremy sighed. 'Hey, I'm good. Damon kills me, not bites me. Don't think he'd wanna sink his fangs in me.'

Diana laughed. 'Dad is a freak mind.' Jeremy chuckled, then said. 'Hey, who would have thought someone so hot could be his kid?' Diana giggled. 'You think I'm hot?' and she saw Jeremy flush a little as he realized just what he had said. She sighed. 'You're such a sweetie sometimes Jer.' he chuckled. 'Hey, my sisters dating a vampire, and his brothers a mental homicidal freak?'

Diana laughed. 'Are you talking about my dad?' Jeremy nodded. 'Yeah I am.' Diana chuckled, then lent forwards and kissed him for a moment.

Jeremy just laughed in surprise. 'Didn't think I was your type.' Diana chuckled. 'Cutesy little nerd like guy? Who can resist?' Jeremys mouth dropped in mock horror. She grinned again, but then the bell suddenly went, and they sighed in union.

'I'll see you later.' She smiled, catching him with another kiss before they parted.


Later on when lessons ended, Diana took a walk in the woods as she made her way home, listening to the sounds of the wildlife that reached her ears, eyes raking through the darkness.

Then another sound reached her ears crunching footsteps on the October leaves. She froze, then turned around.

Her eyes widened as she saw a figure walking towards her in the gathering darkness. Diana gasped, then she turned and ran as fast as she could, looking back once at the still advancing figure.

As she ran, she saw a few ruins up ahead, so she ran towards them, running down some stairs and hiding in a doorway, listening to her heart crashing against her chest.

Diana heard the footsteps fade away, then sigh in relief; any other day, she would have turned around and kicked the crap outta whoever was following her.

She sighed, then walked back out...

Only to hit a solid barrier, making her fall over. She stood up, then pushed the entrance; it didn't budge.

What the hell-?

She went in her pocket to get her phone, but found it empty.

This wasn't happening...

'Help!' She yelled loudly, hoping someone would hear her.

No one came.

Diana was trapped.


Blair was sat in a cafe, eyes gazing out of the windows. He sighed, then looked opposite and jumped.

Ewan grinned. 'Hello Blair.' Blair snarled a little, then started to get up, but Ewan raised an eyebrow and said. 'Did you really think you could run from me?' Blair just growled under his breath, and Ewan chuckled, sitting back, his eyes narrowing. 'Do you remember that deal we made?'

Blair didn't reply to that, and Ewan shook his head, then smirked.

'And now the family is going to pay the price for your stupidity.'

Blairs eyes widened as Ewan vanished, and he stood up, realizing.

Everyone was in danger now.

Because of him.


Damon was sat on the sofa, a glass of Scotch in his hand, Diana, Macy and Blair on his mind.

Family...

It was strange and untamed. Macy was everything he wanted really- it wasn't fake, the love he felt for her. Not like Katherine...

He sighed and stood up. The joy of being an eternal stud.

He was almost at the other side of the room when he heard a noise. He frowned, then turned around as he sensed an ambush. But he found himself pinned to the wall by the ancient vampire that had attacked and killed Macy.

'Ewan...' Damon snarled, trying to push him off, but the bastard never yielded.

Ewan chuckled, then said. 'Your children look so much like you.' He smiled sarcastically. 'Thanks Babe, fancy a drink later (?)' Ewan snarled, then slammed him back again, going. 'Don't push it little boy. I'm older than you, therefore, stronger.'

Damon shook his head. 'So I take it you found out about the ring?' Ewan sighed. 'Yes, can't say I'm overtly happy about that. But oh well- I needed a chance to- forgive the pun let my fangs out.'

Damon smirked now. 'That was officially the crappiest line ever.' Ewan chuckled again, then made Damon yell out as he grabbed the leg of a broken chair and rammed it through his chest, pinning him to the door, coughing violently, feeling blood rising then closing his eyes.

Ewan chucked the rest of the chair on the floor, smirking at him. Then he sighed, brushing the blood of his jacket then walking out.

He knew they'd be after him, seeking revenge...

And couldn't wait.

He'd fight til the last drop of blood had fell.
