BOOYAH!

Leo
I was sitting at the dinner table later that night when Shari froze.
A second or two later, my father appeared next to me and, honing my hearing, I heard far off footsteps fast approaching.
"Vampires." My father hissed, and the twins heads snapped up, only now hearing them.
"Get up and get ready." I growled to them, rushing to the weapons chest in the middle of the sitting room.
Throwing it open, I rifled through the weapons, handing out stakes to each of us before grabbing the machete place on the wall.
Without a second of hesitation, we all used vampire speed in order to reach the middle of the yard.
"This would be a lot easier with Lisbet here." Danniel muttered, but I shook my head.
"She's too far away. If they knew she was there, they'd just gang up on her."
We all stood perfectly still, but then my father growled, lips parting so he could bare his fangs.
"What?" Jo asked, but at that second, with a little sniff, I knew what was wrong.
"Jonothan." I uttered with a scowl, and Shari stiffened.
"Who-?" Danniel was cut off as the group of vampires entered the open lawn.
"Nicholai!" Jonothan called out, extending his arms as if for a hug. "My baby brother." The twins gaped at my father and uncle, and he turned his attention to them.
"What's this? More bastard children?" He was obviously trying to make witty banter, because any idiot with vampire senses could tell that they weren't related.
"What do you want, Jonothan?" My father growled, and Jonothan smirked.
"Much like everyone else, Nicholai, I want the boy." He narrowed his eyes at me, and the next thing I knew, the twins were pushing me behind them.
"Lay a hand on him and die." Jo hissed, face slipping into Sensory Alert, and I felt oddly touched that they hadn't just opted to give me up to the much stronger, older vampire.
"I've already laid a hand on him." Jonothan said, smirking, and my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Where I knew none of you could stop me." And that's when it dawned on me.
"King's cross." I murmured, and my father glanced back at me.
"Sometimes you're too smart for your own good Leonides." I stared at him, completely incredulous.
"I thought that was my mother." I murmured. "You drugged me." Jonothan shrugged lightly, looking proud of himself.
"I did. I was going to make you slaughter your little friends, and then, in your last moment of stunning clarity, pitch you off the astronomy tower." My father let out a long, low growl, and Jonothan raised an eyebrow at his brother looking surprised. "Control yourself, Nicholai." He said, pouting slightly.
"Why are you here, Jonothan?!" He hissed, and Jonothan chuckled lightly.
"I'm here to kill you and your boy, and anyone else who gets in my way." Shari and the twins let out low growls, and I slipped into Sensory Alert.
"Bring it on, Uncle."
There was five of us, and six of them. Outnumbered, even when you didn't count in age/strength ratio.
As the other vampires launched themselves at us, I saw Jonothan slink back to wait the battle out.
Five to five.
I focused on the blonde vampire coming at me, using my legs to propel myself into the air.
I grabbed her around the waist, yanking her to the ground where she struck hard, and swung the machete down at her.
She let out a screech as she blocked it with her hands, blood splattering the both of us.
I felt hands grab me around the waist and threw my head back to make contact with theirs.
The blonde vampire was back on her feet, and with the second vampire still holding me off the ground with their grip on my waist, I dropped the machete and striking out with the stake.
She stood stock still for a second, wood spike protruding from her chest before her gaze fell to it, and her body collapsed to the ground.
Not having time to be preoccupied with the death I had just caused, I kicked out with my legs at the vampire behind me before I felt hands pry their arms away from my waist.
Glancing around, I saw Jo and Danniel taking care of a vampire by themselves, Shari was the one who had saved me from being squished by Mr Huggable, and my father was fighting a vamp on the other side of the lawn, and I quickly leapt onto the vampire that was sneaking up on him.
As I pinned the vampire to the ground, I glanced up to see how my dad was doing, smiling as I saw him standing above the now staked foe, his eyes met mine, and, as they did, blood suddenly splattered my face.
I saw his chest now soaked with blood, and as he sunk to his knees, stake protruding from his chest, I saw Jonothan standing behind him.

This chapter has had minor edits made to it on 31/12/22 - This is the chapter where Jonothan reveals that he was the one who used Spharmus to control Leo and make him attack his friends, instead of Cipicia like it was assumed.
