Chapter 7

Serena looked at her friends from the corner of the room, she had hoped everything would be all right, she didn't know this person, she didn't know what he was or what he could do to them. Serena had trusted him, she had allowed her friends to be in his mercy, she hoped beyond all hope she had done the right thing.

Raye sat looking at the new comer, she wasn't sure what to think of him, but she didn't get any bad vibes! (She could usually tell if someone was bad) This new man intrigued her, he was young but he looked like he had been worked to death, he was pitch white and his eyes were red.

"Do you understand then now?" The person said who was standing behind Serena. Raye's mind returned to the room and noticed that he was staring at her and smiling. The gang had found out that this stranger's name had been Marcus; he had lived in this house a long time ago. The next owner had killed Marcus and this murderer's name had been Peter. Peter had been someone who was kind to all, especially children, but one night he had changed, changed so that he never came out in the day, never talked to anyone he saw and always seemed to look poorly and sick.

"Are you saying that he was a vampire?" Amy said shocked.

"Yes my dear that is what I am saying."

"That would mean that you are a… a…a vampire?" Greg said, trying to hide his fear. (Well done to those who got it!)

"V….v…very good." He said, mocking Greg. "We can't sit around and wait for him to come to us, we need to get out of here and never return, probably destroy the house in the process if possible." He looked around. Seeing everyone's wary faces and scared features he sighed. "I can't beat him alone!" The vampire said, banging his fists on the stairs and walking around the back of the group, running his hands through his hair. He had had enough of this lot, he couldn't get them motivated, and the worst thing was that they were only kids.

"Please, I know it might be weird working with a vampire…" He started.

"Understatement of the year." Darien said, leaning against a post and glaring at the vampire.

"Darien." Serena said, warning and pleading at the same time.

"All I'm saying is that we don't even know if he is telling us the truth or not, if you haven't been listening- vampire, evil demon!" Darien said, moving forwards and walking around Marcus. "We can't trust him." He concluded, crossing his arms and standing next to Lita.

"I'm not asking you to trust me yet, I'm just asking you to think about what I'm saying." Marcus said, looking at everyone in turn. The whole lot of them seemed confused and scared, just like before. "Okay, lets make it simple for you muscle bound gentlemen and ladies. You stay here means you die. You leave means you could live but leave Rini's death un avenged. You stay, fight and destroy this demon, means you might die, but you will avenge Rini's death and save all others from his wrath." Marcus said, walking around the group, intrigued by each person's heartbeat. Some were scared, some were frightened, one was angry and one was very hungry.

Marcus looked around confused; there was something wrong in the basement. For one there were too many feelings and he could only sense the hunger of another vampire. He spun around, listening quietly and shushed anyone who tried to say anything. They were not alone in this basement he was here with them!

"Question; does anyone want to be vampire food?" Marcus asked, walking slowly through the group, looking up and down around himself. Darien and Serena looked at each other, wondering what he was doing. "I think I'd best put it in language you would understand. He's in the basement!"

Marcus made a start for the stairs and would have gotten up them if someone hadn't pulled at the back of his shirt, unbalancing him since his leg was in the air, and sending him flying backwards.

"Ladies first!" Darien said, looking at the vampire sprawled on the floor, he had vamped out on impact and now his face was all wrinkly and the fangs protruding out his mouth were huge.

"Whoa!" Chad said as he saw Marcus' true form. "Cool!"

"Chad, move!" Andrew shouted, pulling the intrigued teen away from the basement and up the stairs. Finally Chad had reached the top step, but the stairs below him seemed to become sticky and wet, he slipped, falling forwards and kicking out with his legs, sending Andrew back down into the darkness of the basement.

"NOOO!" Serena screamed as she lunged forward to go after him, but was held around the waist by Darien. "Andrew…." She cried.
