Metallica and voices flooded from the living room. The wind whistled through the holes in the screen of the half-open window and moonlight poured onto the floor. Oz's breathing was the more calming of the sounds in the small room. Every time he exhaled Xander felt the shorter boy's breathing tickle his ear. It was regular until an odd growl was released instead of a breath. Xander looked over at the boy lying to his right and saw fur, barred teeth and yellow eyes. Nobody heard Xander scream as teeth pierced his skin and nobody saw the look of sheer terror on his face as his throat was shredded.

When Daniel Osbourne awoke he was shivering on the floor and a full moon was setting as the sun was rising. Light hit his iris his temples exploded. He drew the curtains and went to climb back to bed. He instantly froze in his tracks as he saw neared his bed and saw sheets saturated with his lover's blood.
