Jack sat against the wall of his bedroom. Moonlight poured through the open window. He was as pale as a ghost and shaking like a leaf on a tree during a windy day. Emily walked through the door. Her auburn hair fell loosely over her shoulders. She knelt down beside him and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. He looked deep into her brown eyes and swore he saw something but he tossed it aside.
"Jack," She said in a quiet voice, "Please come down. We promise you no one else is there." He shook his head and his brown hair swung around his face. "Please. Dinner is on the table and you need to eat. You haven't eaten since breakfast." He shook his head again. "Jack," This time she said it firmly, "You're coming down if I have to drag you down." He looked at her shocked.
She took a firm hold of his arm and pulled him to his feet with an amazing amount of strength. He tried to pull away but her nails dug into his skin sending small drops of blood to the ground. She watched them fall to the ground with a hungry look on her face. Then she looked back up at him and he saw a red gleam. She pulled him toward the stairs. He broke free and ran to the window. He pulled it open and jumped through.
The chilly night breeze made the sweat on his face freezing cold. He wiped it away and realized that he just jumped into the night, the darkness, the space where all vampires can roam free. He sprinted toward the bookstore. He heard his name being called. He ran harder. He heard his name again. This time almost a scream in terror. It was a familiar voice, Dominique's voice. He spun around and saw her standing in an alley. She looked terrified.
He ran toward her. She gripped his shoulders and started shaking him yelling, "Jack wake up!"
Jack opened his eyes to see Edwin, Ben, Emily and Dominique. Dominique was holding onto his shoulders and she was pale. He looked at her and then at his own hands. Bloody gashes ran across them from clenching his fists. The wounds stung and he bit his lip. Edwin grabbed his hand and looked at the cuts.
"I'll wrap those up for you Jack." Edwin said, "Everyone else go to bed." The three children left and Edwin left and came back with bandages and a sponge. He sponged the cuts and wrapped them in clean, white bandages. He sat down at the end of Jack's bed and said, "Jack," Jack looked at him, "You can't stop living your life because something's out to get you. You will leave the house like you would any day just never go alone. Take Ben Em, Dominique or me with you." Jack looked at him with a shocked expression. "But for now just get some sleep. Hunter may be half human but he still can't enter thins house." Jack nodded and lay back down. Edwin left and Jack noticed the how the moonlight cast shadows that almost anything could hide in. He didn't sleep for the rest of the night. All he could think about is the reasons why Edwin was saying something so dumb.
