Guests? What the fuck was he talking about? I wasn't sure that I really wanted to find out... but Dorian Gray was here as well. This was seeming more and more like a set-up.

The House had known that we were going to come here, long before we had turned up.

I clenched my fists tight as Will continued to smile and M just lurked behind him, keeping eye contact with Kian, who was still unable to move.

No backup, no way out. All I had right now was myself...

A strange rattling sound came from the archway where we had entered the dancefloor. Screeching metal like chalk being dragged down a blackboard. Dorian Gray walked in behind three metal gurneys, his arms raised high as he guided them through the archway.

As they got closer I felt my heart sink to somewhere in my stomach. Strapped down on the three gurneys by thick leather straps were my mum, my dad and Dylan. All of them had white cloths tied around their mouths to stop them from talking, but I could see the fear in their eyes.

Shit. I was going to fucking kill Will! I pictured myself ripping his heart out of his chest and snapping his neck for good measure, but I knew that I would struggle to even get close to him. My wolf abilities had me fast, but Will would be able to move before I could even blink.

How the fuck was I going to stop him?

Will just smiled as Dorian made the gurney stop, before raising the heads up so that I could see straight into my mum's eyes, then my dad's. But he stopped at Dylan's.

"Thank you, Dorian," Will said as he made his way over to Dylan. He hovered by the head of the gurney as Dorian went to stand by M, his grey suit looking as pale as he did in the harsh light.

"Leave him alone!" I growled as Will reached a hand out to stroke the hair out of Dylan's eyes, which were full of tears as he tried his hardest to move away from Will's touch.

My vision began to blur and I could feel the pain as my fingernails began to drop off and be replaced by thick black claws and hair. My eyes travelled to my parents; my mum had tears streaming down her face while my dad was almost as pale as Kian.

Oh crap... this was not how I had pictured them finding out about what I now was. Shit.

"Certainly," Will replied as he undid the straps that held Dylan down "I'll leave him alone if he wants me to."

Dylan sat up and removed the gag from his mouth, he stared at me like I was some kind of freak. I guess to him I kinda was...

"Dylan... run!" I managed to shout out before I was hit in the face, knocking me to the ground.

As I sat up I could hear Will laughing.

"I'd be careful if I were you, Alec, Ashley does tend to hold a grudge," he said glancing up at the ceiling.

There was Ashley hanging, using her long fingernails to dig in. Her bright red eyes were full of hatred. She hissed as I caught her eye, so I quickly turned my gaze back to Will and Dylan who had hopped down from the gurney.

Why wasn't he running?

"Dylan..."

"I don't know what you are, but you're not my brother..." Dylan cut in "You're a monster."

I could feel tears stinging my eyes and rolling down my face. This was exactly what I had feared in the worst parts of my vision of how this moment would go. The fear and hatred in his eyes said everything.

"Yes, your brother is a monster," Will said "Literally, of course. He was also accused of murder..."

"I was set up!"

"Maybe, maybe not," Will replied "That doesn't concern me, but what does concern me is how you didn't once think about how much danger you were putting your family in. You didn't care about the fact that you could turn at any time!"

"Do you not see how dangerous you are?" Dylan asked me, his words cutting right through to my heart.

I had never thought about it like that, but I would never have put them in danger. Any of them. Not consciously.

What fucking lies had Will been feeding him with?

"I love you, all of you... I would never hurt you, Dylan." I replied as I tried to regulate my breathing.

"Of course, you could believe that waffle," Will said "But, I warned you exactly what he was. Him and his vampire boyfriend."

"You're a fucking vampire!" I shouted back at him, my voice sounding more and more like a growl.

Will smirked at me as he put an arm around Dylan "Yes, I am." I watched in horror as his eyes flashed red and his fangs elongated out before he bit down on Dylan's neck.

Shit! Oh, shit...

"No!"

I lept forward, but I knew that I was already too late as Will lifted his head up, still smiling with Dylan's blood staining his mouth and lips.

All of a sudden I couldn't move as the weight of Ashley fell on top of me, stopping my momentum.

"Now for step two," Will said as he bit into his own arm causing blood to run down his arm, then he put his arm up to Dylan's mouth "Ah.. yes. Drink."

Dylan gripped tightly onto Will's arm until Will pulled him off.

"Good lad," he said "Now for the last part of the process..."

No... please no...

The weight of Ashley on top of me had pushed most of the air out of my lungs and even though I tried to shout out, my voice wouldn't work.

Will manoeuvred Dylan in between our mum and dad, and I could hear my heart beating as I watched on.

"Which one to choose?" Will said "The mother? Hmm. No. I think we'll sacrifice the father..."

He placed Dylan's face near our dad's neck, his eyes bulged in fear as Dyan stared at his neck for a moment, seemingly considering it.

Then he dived in, his newly grown fangs piercing the skin as he leaned in to drink.

Dad...

Unable to move or stop it, all I could do was watch my brother suck the life from our dad. It was like a horribly vivid nightmare, but deep down I knew that I wasn't going to wake up to find this was all a dream.

My eyes met my mum's and her shocked and heartbroken look was all I needed to know that this fucking nightmare was real.

As Dylan finished and lifted his head up from our dad's neck to let his now limp frame drop, his bloodstained fangs were on full display and his eyes were a deep dark red.

The Dylan I knew, my dorky and annoying little brother was gone. The vampire now staring back at me with a bloody grin on his face was what I now had to face.
