(A/N): Hey Guys! Sorry for not updating in ages, but my muse is still in friggin' Florida, and I've been having some problems, so here it is!

Leo

I winced as my feet hit the ground again, staggering a foot or two before reaching up to yank the glace shard from my side with a pained gasp.

Blood stained through my shirt, and I blinked, gaping slightly at the injury, before returning my gaze to the vampires ahead of me.

Only two, but I could barely take Jonothan, let alone his lady friend.

I forced myself to concentrate, my vision blurred slightly as I swayed, fighting to stay on my feet, and I heard footsteps approaching at a quick clip, two sets, Shari and my father.

Not too far away, but enough for me to have reason to worry.

If these two got past me, Elaine and her family were done for.

I drew in a deep, shuddering breath before forcing myself to stand erect, staring them down once again.

"You shouldn't be here." I growled, and I didn't even delude myself into thinking that I looked remotely scary, especially to them. "Never come back here again." Jonothan's lady friend smirk.

"And why would we do that?" Right at that moment, something, or someone, smacked into Jonothan with force, sending them both crashing into the forest, narrowly avoiding trees most of the time, others breaking with a resounding snap, but never falling.

The woman vampire was blocked from my view by Shari's back as she crouched defensively in front of me.

She was the classic vampire: long, jet black hair, skin as pale as the driven snow, and eyes so dark you couldn't distinguish the difference between iris and pupil.

And I knew just how dangerous she could be, considering that she had been the one to shove me through the window.

"Lisbet..." Shari growled, and I raised an eyebrow, barely managing to stay on my feet from blood loss.

"Shari." The woman, Lisbet, greeted teasingly, the smirk still gracing her lips. She disappeared for a second, too fast for even me to see, before she reappeared maybe a foot from me, where Shari had just been standing, lifting me off the ground by the hand squeezing at my throat.

I heard a dull thud, and from the corner of my eye, I could see that it had been Shari landing on the ground a few yards away, before the pressure released my throat and I was soaring through the air, before I, too, hit the ground.

Dots appeared in my vision, and it was hard for me to see, let alone keep my eyes open, and I saw Lisbet kneel over me before something sharp cut into my neck.

"Leo!" I heard my father scream, only to be echoed by Shari, slightly closer but still all too far away as I felt my neck begin to sting and sear with pain, the most intense I have ever felt.

"Ah!" I cried out, trying to squirm away, but Lisbet had both my wrists pinned, one of her lower legs pressed across my thighs. "Ah!" The last thing I saw before I passed out was the blue sky, peaking through the tree canopy high above me.

I woke up an indiscernible amount of time later to the dull throb of pain in the side of my neck, and I tried to jolt upright into a sitting position, only to be pushed back down by a hand being pressed against my chest.

In my proper state of health, I could have fought against it and won, easily, but in my current weakness, I couldn't have fought off a kitten.

My eyes travelled from the hand, up the arm, to the face before I saw what I had been secretly been dreading.

My worst case scenario to wake up to, and it was right here, right in front of me, I couldn't believe it.

"Good morning Leonides." That all too familiar voice hissed, and I flinched, terrified of what would come next now. "Well, aren't you going to say something?" The voice inquired, but all I could do was stare in horror. Of all the things to happen, I'd take another bite from a vampire over this.

Anything but this...

Anything but her.

"M-mother." I managed to splutter out, past the lump of terror in my throat and the tears stinging my eyes.

"It's good to see you dear." She said, though I could tell by the poisonous look in her eyes, that it most certainly wasn't.

"The feelings mutual." I spat, finally finding my voice, though I knew that I could do nothing against whatever she wanted to do to me.

"Oh, don't be like that sweetums, I just wanted to check up on you." She told me, her voice sugary sweet, but her eyes empty of emotion, just looking down and judging me for what I was.

"Yeah, well you can get fucke-" She cut me off with a hard slap to the face, causing my head to snap to the side.

"You do not speak to me like that you filthy monster!" She yelled, her face twisted with rage and disgust as I winced, though I was well expecting it by now.

"You're the monster here." I said quietly, looking her in the eye boldly, but all anger was wiped from her face, replaced with something much worse: a smirk.

"Oh, we'll see about that."

(A/N): Plot twist anyone?
