Thirty years after Ryan and Emma were on the island, someone was knocking on their apartment door.
"Just a second!" said Ryan. Once he opened the door, Ryan found Johan standing there on the other side.
"Sorry for dropping in suddenly," said John.
"But there's some stuff we need to talk about," he said.
"No problem, is it about last month?" asked Ryan while inviting the vampire into the apartment.
"Yes, how has Jack been?" asked Johan.
"I've been fine," said a fifteen-year-old boy as he walked up.
"A little bored with being stuck at home while I healed but otherwise I'm good and ready to head out again," he said.
"At least you're doing better now," said Johan.
"Yeah, and if you will excuse me, I'm heading out to meet up with some friends who I haven't seen in a while," said Jack before rushing out the door.
"Does he not realize how big this is?" asked Johan.
"He does, but it shouldn't stop him from hanging out with his friends and being a teenager, Johan," said Ryan while taking a seat on the couch.
"You were only able to take over the Association because of him," said Johan.
"But now everyone knows how to hurt him, and the pure blood families are already talking about ways to kill him so they can regain their power," he said while sitting in a chair nearby.
"Does that include your father?" asked Ryan.
"Yes," said Johan.
"Then I hope they're ready for the war that will come if my family or our friends get hurt, because we won't stop at anything until those who hurt them are down," said Ryan.
"And I hope it doesn't get to that point, because more than a few secrets will come out by then," said Johan.
