-Sam's P.O.V-

Me, Edgar and Alan woke up pretty early the next morning. Reina hadn't come home so she was obviously still with Marko. I didn't even know if she was alive, or had been turned. The thoughts of what may have happened to her stuck with me through out the whole night. Michael told me he wouldn't be here till about 5'o clock. The thought of what could happen to Reina scared me.

"Sam are you done filling the water guns with holy water?" Edgar asked as he placed the stakes he had carved into a pile on the table.

"Just two more left!" I informed him as I dipped another water gun into the bowl full of holy water which Alan had gotten.

"This feels like 1987 all over again!" Alan said, trying to make light of the situation.

"Only this time" Edgar paused and looked back and forth between me and Alan "They're dead!"

It was way past 5 and I began to get agitated, the more we waited the less chance there was of me being able to save my daughter. I didn't want to wait but the frog brothers convinced me that it was best if we waited for Michael, the chances would be even. I had tried calling Michael a few times but it went straight to voicemail. I sighed and turned to look at the clock. 6:45. I let out a frustrating sigh and pulled a cigarette out from my pocket and lighting it.

"I didn't know you smoked Sam" Alan blurted out.

"I use to, but stopped after Reina was born" I told him before taking a drag.

"Doesn't look like you've stopped" Edgar snickered.

"Look I'm stressed ok, my daughter could very well be in danger and we're just sat here!" I began to raise my voice and Edgar put his hands up in defence.

"Okay we'll give Michael till seven to get here, if he doesn't we'll go okay?" Edgar suggested and I nodded. As soon as he finished, the doorbell rang. In a flash, I put out my cigarette and sprinted over to the door, swinging it open. Finally. Michael was stood on the other side of the door with Star right beside him. I gave them a short but sad smile and let them in. I had already explained to Michael what had happened over the phone.

"Has she not come home yet?" Michael asked looking around the room.

"No not yet" Alan replied as he gave Michael a friendly hug.

"Sorry we took so long Sam" Star apologised as she engulfed me into a hug which I gladly returned.

"Guys wait for me!"I heard a familiar voice say. I looked over Star's shoulder and stared in disbelief.

"You brought mum?!" I asked looking over towards Michael.

"I told her and she wanted to come!" Michael shrugged. Oh boy!

"Look Sam, I know I'm old but Reina is my granddaughter and I'd be damned if I let anyone of them hurt her. Now pass me a water gun and lets go!" I guess having my mum here wasn't so bad after all.

-Reina's P.O.V-

I had spent the night at the cave, David ordered Marko to keep me here so that I could speak to Max. I was currently sat on the sofa next to Marko, the other three had gone out somewhere and said that they would be back shortly. I had no idea what was going to happen to me, David sounded pretty serious last night.

"Marko" I turned to look at him.

"yeah?" He asked.

"I want to go home" I told him, tears began to form in my eyes.

"I know you do Reina but you can't, not until we've spoken to Max" He pulled me into a hug and just held me. Marko seemed extremely nervous, I noticed that since I had been awake, he was biting his nails a lot more than he ever had. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held him just as tightly as he held me. He moved back a little and placed his lips onto mine, giving me a short but sweet kiss.

We heard someone clear their throat and we turned to see Paul with a serious look plastered on his face. I looked towards the entrance and saw Dwayne and David walk in followed by a man I had never met before. He was wearing a striped shirt matched with a colourful tie, a cream jacket which was the same colour as his trousers. He had shaggy light brown hair, his eyes were covered by a round pair of glasses, making him look very geeky. Was this Max?

"Max this is Reina, Reina this is Max" David introduced.

"It's nice to meet you!" Max said holding out his hand, I politely shook it and smiled.

"You too" I replied still sat down.

"David has told me everything!" He then turned to Marko. "You shouldn't have vamped out Marko, that was extremely stupid, what were you thinking?" He asked sounding pretty pissed.

"I'm sorry Max but she was getting attacked, I couldn't just sit back and watch. Besides, no one else saw but her!" Marko explained.

"That's the problem Marko, she still saw you! How do you know she's not gonna tell someone!" Max said.

"Like anyone would believe her even if she did!" Paul joked. "No offence girl"

"None taken" I replied grinning slightly. There was a moment of silence before Max let out a sigh and turned to David.

"You know the options David as do the rest of you...now are any of you going to tell her or shall I?" Max questioned. I watched as Paul and Dwayne both looked down at their feet. David shook his head before looking directly, once again his face showing no expression and Marko was back to biting his nails.

"Options?" I asked Max. Marko instantly grabbed my hand as he saw Max take a step closer to me.

"I'm not going to beat about the bush Reina, you seem like such a sweet girl so I really hope you make a good decision, plus you would be a delicious addition to the family" He began to explain.

"Excuse me?"

"You either become one of us or die!" He blurted out. As the words escaped his mouth I felt Marko's grip on my hand tighten. I couldn't speak, I didn't know what to say. Instead I just let the tears fall.

"Like I'm going to let that happen!" I looked over Max to see my dad, the frog brothers, my uncle Michael, my auntie Star and my grandmother standing at the entrance at the cave.

"What are the Emersons doing here?" Paul asked in confusion.

"Get away from my daughter bloodsuckers!" my dad demanded completely ignoring Paul's question. The boys and Max turned to look at me with shocked expressions.
