I couldn't move for upwards of a minute when Tyler walked in and almost gets staked in the heart by my mom but as soon as he gets slammed into the wall I snap back into reality.

"Run!" Tyler screamed at me as Josh worked to stake him with the broken leg chair he picked up.

I glance at Tyler for a second before pushing past my mother, jumping over the couch, and running out of the cabin leaving Tyler behind to defend himself.

I stop for half a second to look around and in that time something begins to chase after me. Without even thinking I dart into the forest, the complete opposite way to the city.

As I started to get tired I began to hear loud thumping noises from behind me. Before I can even think of an escape plan someone grabs me as I'm running and they hold a hand to my mouth to keep me from screaming.

After a couple seconds, I watch as a large dark brown wolf flies by us.

Mark Anthony turns me around and plants a light kiss on my lips, "Okay, we need to go. Your brother will soon realize he lost your scent and he'll circle back around."

I shake my head, "No, go back and help Tyler!"

Mark Anthony sighs before pulling his leather jacket off and handing it to me, "Put this on and run north. The wind is blowing in the opposite direction. I'll go back and help Tyler."

As I pull on Mark Anthony's leather jacket I notice that he's walking much slower than he could have. Instead of running north like he told me to I decide to circle around and follow him.

I'm much safer around him. I don't understand why he wants me to leave him.

So I follow him all the way back to the cabin without him noticing or smelling me.

Once we get there I stay by the tree line while Mark Anthony walks in the cabin. There are a few loud pounding noises and the familiar scream of my father so I figure it's safe to come out.

Just as I step into the clearing I watch as Mark Anthony rips Tyler's heart out.

"NOO!" I scream falling to my knees.

Mark Anthony turns around with Tyler's heart still in his hands and works to say something, "Riley... I uh.."

I get that same urge of anger and I jump up off of the ground, I run inside the cabin, and to Tyler's side, "Tyler... no no, please. Please wake up. Tyler!"

Mark Anthony goes to touch me so I turn around and I smack his hand away.

I place Tyler's head in my lap as the tear begin streaming down my face, "Tyler wasn't the father, you were! Now, you're nothing to me Mark Anthony, NOTHING!!"

Everything gets tuned out as I stroke Tyler's curly black hair. I don't listen to Mark Anthony's pleas, my mother calling my name, my brother turning back into a human, or my father groaning in pain.

I got tunnel vision, the only thing I could think about was Tyler. He's my best friend or he was my best friend. All because of Mark Anthony.

Suddenly I'm angry, extremely angry. I let Tyler's head down gently before standing up to face my mother who's huddled in a corner of the cabin.

"I want you to leave and never come back!" I take a deep breath, "You're not my mother. If I ever see you again I will kill you."

She tries to say something but I quickly cut her off by turning to my brother.

"You betrayed me. I loved you and I told you what dad did to me and yet you brought me back to him. So you are no longer my brother."

A tear slips down my brother's face, "I just wanted us to be a family again."

I ignore my brother and I turn to my father, "And you. You've never been my dad so how can I take that title away from you?! The answer is I can't. So I'm gonna let you bleed to death."

The lack of fear in my father's eyes pisses me off so I turn to Mark Anthony fuming, "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL HERE?!!"

All the emotions that Mark Anthony had are all gone and he's emotionless, just like me before I ran into the vampires. For a moment he just stared at me before walking over and breaking my dad's neck.

Mark Anthony gives me one last look before speed running out of the cabin. I take one glance at my father before dropping to the ground with Tyler.

"You're my best friend and you ran in here to save me which got you killed." I say letting my tears fall onto his creamy black skin, "This is all my fault. Please forgive me Tyler."

I know he'll never answer so I lie my head on his neck.

"I love you best friend." I say closing my eyes.
