11.

Edgar and Alan went home around noon, and Max wasted no time in "talking" to Dwayne and David. Marko was still sleeping, and Paul was preoccupied with a Playstation game.

The dining room felt more like a courtroom, and Dwayne knew he was in some deep shit.

"What do you mean I turned Marko into a vampire?! Vampires don't exist, dad!" Dwayne starts.

"Shut it, Dwayne William! I'm going to talk and I need you boys to listen and listen good! This is very serious! This isn't like letting Marko have some soda! This isn't little stuff! This is big and very serious! You have NO idea what can of worms you opened! I wanted to wait until you and David were old enough to drive to tell you! But it looks like that plan is ruined."

Max takes a gulp of his coffee and starts to speak again.

"I am a vampire. I had you boys to be my next generation of vampires. That's why you all have different mothers. Surprise, I am not a man slut. I am a creature of the night, disguised as a father and business owner. I had you with your mothers because I knew they wouldn't give a rats ass about you guys. Perfect opportunity to raise future vampires. However you all weren't supposed to find out this way! Especially little Marko!"

"Dad, I didn't know!" Dwayne stutters.

Max sighs. "I really have to homeschool Marko now. Shit. We can prevent Marko from going full vamp, he just can't feed off a human... We have to prevent that for the next 10 or so years. Shit."

Max's facial expression was hard to read. He truly was at a loss for words.

"I'm home schooling all of you. I can't believe this fucking happened. What the FUCK were you thinking Dwayne?!"

"Dad! I didn't know!"

"Are ypu PROUD of yourself now?! Knowing you fucked up any chance Marko ever had of a normal life?!"

"Dad! Calm down!"

"YOU TOOK AWAY MARKO'S LAST HOPE OF BEING NORMAL! THIS IS NOT OKAY!"

"Dad?" David asks. "What are we going to do? What does this mean for Marko? For any of us?"

"I'm going to really need to think about this. I don't know." Max sighs. He knew the truth had to come out eventually, but not this soon. He hated those damn Frog kids, and this just cemented his disdain even more.

"We just... For now... Fuck. Just proceed life as normal, until I figure out what the fuck to do."
