You know Danny smith you're right she would've been freaked, I forgot to put on the last one a little while later, it's couple of weeks possibly. In a previous line she says something like "You and your....friend."That was supposed to say she knows, she ain't completely okay with it but she will accept it over time. And Merton is still obsessing over this the other guy because he is amazing paranoid. They've told their parents but not really anyone else yet. Explanation over, this is very short as I'm very tired but I wanted to speed the stroy up a bit.

Merton pov

I can't believe this, I never looked like my dad but this is just uncomprehensiable! Oh god my mum and him, urgh I'm not going down that route. Get out of my head.

"Merton, Mer you awake yet?"

He sat up as his vision focused on a worried Tommy. He stood frowning then remembered his Mother's revalation.

"I'm up."

"Listen I know this is a shock, a big shock in fact. If you wanna talk....."

"I just, that man." He walked over to the computer staring at the frozen face of Vlad, "He's my Dad? He tried to kill me, worse to kill you. He'll know you're not dead! He's gonna come back and what am I gonna do?"

"If he attacks me again, I don't want to hurt him. But I will if he hurts either of us you know."

Merton looked at him and nodded, "But if he attacks you, I don't know if I could kill my Father. What am I saying? Of course I could, that's what scares me."

"Merton.....you are a good person. There is a dark side of you but it's not that side I love okay?"

"Thanks."

"I think I'll go, let you have some space to think." He walked over to the stairs. Merton ran in front of him blocking his exit.

"Stay, please. I don't really want to be alone. Sad I know, I just...."

"Okay."

They smiled at each other and walked back down the stairs.

I can't sleep. Not even with Tommy here, he looks so sweet when he sleeps. Peaceful almost, wonder how long it is until the full moon?

He sat up and watched the pale moonlight dance across the room.

"I'm getting some fresh air Tommy. Tommy?" He shook him but Tommy batted his hand away and mumbled something in his sleep.

"Aah, not now Mum. S'too early."

Merton laughed and pulled on his shirt, he walked outside relishing the cold breeze and walked round to the back garden. He sat on the small bench and closed his eyes.

"Never close your eyes, it makes you easy prey."

Merton's eyes snapped open scanning the darkness, he knew that voice.

"Vlad?"

The shadow figured stepped from behind the hedge.

"Not with your protectors?"

"No, they were employees of mine. Money is hard to come by these days. You are minus your protector, the wolf-boy."

Merton stood angrily, "I won't let you touch him."

"You are brave, but weak. You are very amusing."

"Don't reconise me do ya?"

Vlad frowned, "Should I?"

"Maybe you know my mother? You and her met about eighteen years ago right here."

"What?"

"You're my Dad." Merton grinned as Vlad gasped in shock. "Surprise!"
