Immediately he stepped in the house he ran straight for the basement and thankfully the door was still locked, opening the door he went down the stairs expecting to see Jay still bound to his chair but he wasn’t the chair was empty with the remains of his restraints on the floor. John’s eyes were opened wide as he realized what it meant but before he could do anything there was a c***k and John fell like a sack of potatoes.

Jay looked down at his brother’s body, normally snapping someone’s neck would kill them but he had a hunch that this brother of his wasn’t human… of course the main reason for snapping his neck was because he was pissed. He was tied down in the basement for God’s sake and he was beginning to feel thirsty, “see you later brother.” Jay turned and sped out of the basement only to have stake go through his chest.

Jay came to a halt looking down at the stake which was in his chest before looking up at the perpetrator who he did not recognize before falling as well. The perpetrator was of course Holly who then proceeded to run down to the basement in time to see John’s body.

…..

“*sigh* the stake needs to go through the heart to kill a vampire”

“she is right little bro” Jay’s voice sounded drawing their attention. Jay stood drawing the stake from his chest, he took a closer look at the wooden stake which was now covered in his blood before tossing it to the side his wounds healing at a visible rate.

“you’re going to need a lot more to kill me apparently”, he spoke with a smile on his face as though he wasn’t just staked in the chest with a wooden stake. “you snapped my neck” John spoke “well you tied me up, in the basement might I add” Jay defended himself “you. Snapped. My. Neck” “okay I admit that was a bit harsh.”

…..“what, cat got your tongue brother. Hm anyway considering you could leave when the sun is still out, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you are not a vampire. So brother dearest what are you?” Jay spoke tilting his head waiting for his brother’s response.

“… I don’t know.” After a short pause John finally spoke, “fine then let’s talk about something you do know… how did this happen?” Jay responded.

NOW

“….and that’s what happened” John had finally explained what had happened that night as well as anything he thought important. Jay stood nodding his head as he held a glass of whisky at hand, unfortunately for him alcohol seemed to no longer have an effect on him and he might as well have been drinking a glass of water.

“So let me get this straight. After I told you to ignore those stupid dreams...” “visions” John corrected his brother who took a good look at him before continuing, “visions… I don’t give a damn! You could have stayed home watch tv go to bed or even come to the party with me who knows you might have even gotten laid, but no… no you had to go exploring the woods everyone claims is haunted alongside the guy who is the son of an evil witch who probably did to this to us and might even be one of them. Bravo little brother, Bravo.”

“hey! Caleb is innocent… he doesn’t know anything, he is just as confused as we all are.” John speaks up for Caleb in an attempt to convince Jay but Jay just scoffed at that “yeah right.” then gulped down the remaining whiskey, “damn can’t even get drunk anymore… urgh” he then slammed the glass causing it to shatter.

“Jay you need to calm down.” John attempted to calm hiss brother who seemed to be on the verge of losing his temper. Jay sat looking John straight in the eye, “*scoff* calm down? Hehehe easy for you to say, you don’t burn when you come in contact with the sun no, you don’t have to worry about losing control and almost killing your girlfriend no, you don’t have a voice in your head constantly telling you to feed on blood. SO! DON’T! YOU! f*****g! TELL! ME! TO! CALM! DOWN!” with those words Jay sped to John standing bare inches from him with his face morphed, his eyes blood red, veins bulging and fangs present.

John and Jay both stared each other down.

Their staring contest is broken when Jay turns around and grabs his jacket heading out, seeing this John gets alarmed and cuts in front blocking Jay’s path. “and where are you going?” “to get some fresh air duh… now move” Jay pushes John out of his way and is almost out of the door but John grabs his arm which causes Jay to turn to face him with a raised brow.

“John…”

“Jay…”

Jay looked down at John’s hand which grasped his arm firmly and then back up at John, “let go little bro.”

“I can’t let you out of here…”

“really…”

“you know what I mean, you’re a danger to yourself and others what happens if those guys from before find you… huh what then?” “and you think you can stop me.” Jay flashed his blood red eyes with his veins becoming prominent once more, John in turn flashed his golden eyes showing his stance. Seeing John’s seriousness Jay let out a sigh, “fine I’ll stay” Jay finally relents with a smirk on his face. John let out a sigh of relief thinking he finally got through to his brother and released him, before he could react though Jay snapped his neck causing him to drop to the floor.

Jay proceeded to squat down getting closer to his brother, “sorry little bro but, I’m kind of thirsty and have an evil witch to see” Saying so Jay headed out of the house and decided to walk over to Caleb’s house to pay he and his mother a visit.

In the cave in the woods the darkness .

 Roselyn was face to face with the ancient being known as the darkness himself. “Roselyn, I have heard a lot about you.” The darkness spoke its voice though close sounded as though far away, “thank you my lord.” Roselyn replied as she gave a bow.

Roselyn did not dare to do anything to draw the ire of the being before her, she was well aware of what kind of being was before her, he was someone who is worshipped like a god there were but a few during his time who could match him in power much less now.

“you have done great, with your help we have managed to awaken the blood of the Ashwood descendants and the time when I can fully walk this earth draws ever close. When I walk this earth again you have my word I shall grant you a new path.”

Hearing his words Roselyn showed a grateful expression but on the inside she knew exactly what he meant by a new path and she was not willing. Seeing her The Darkness tilted his head watching her before speaking once more, “ I hear you have a son why do I not see him.” Roselyn’s heart skipped a beat as she heard his words.

“my lord, my son is not magically inclined” she quickly spoke trying to draw this beings attention away from her son. “Do not worry for when I descend I shall grant him the gift” with his words the black mist flowed back into the stone gates leaving the body for dead “The world shall bow to me once again” the mist left these words before fully disappearing.
