"Come on let's get her." Shouted a familiar voice. I felt the bed dent as someone had jumped onto it. Then I felt another.

"No that's my sister. Stay away from her!" Shouted another voice. My eyes slowly started to open. My eyes adjusted to the light of the room which is when I saw Sam's face inches from mine.

"Ash? Ashley! Your okay!" Said Sam whilst hugging me as tightly as his small body would allow him to.

"Sam? Sam! You shouldn't be here." I panicked.

"It's fine I have vampire hunters with me." He explained. He had the frog brothers with him. If they find the boys they'll kill them.

"What?" I exclaimed whilst trying to process what he had just said.

"They are experienced don't worry about them. They will save..."

"No Sam you don't understand. Don't kill them." I pleaded. I couldn't stomach the thought of them being dead.

"Why they are bloodsuckers but u and Michael are only half we can still save you guys!" he exclaimed. I looked at him sadly. I placed my hand on his cheek and just admired his face. Then confusion swarmed his face.

"We can still save you right?" He whimpered at the realisation of what my silence meant. I hugged him tightly as he started to cry.

"Sam I'm the happiest I've ever been. I was miserable when I was human." I explained to him softly.

"I know you were Ash but now you hurt people. I can't accept that." He said as he pulled away from me.

"We only hurt bad people and people who deserve it." I pleaded to him.

"No one deserves death Ashley." He said glumly. I frowned.

"If no one deserves death then don't let the frog brothers kill my boys. Please I think I love them." I was shocked at my own words. I hardly knew them but I felt so connected to them.

"You hardly know them Ash." He tried to explained.

"I know that but I feel safe with them and happy. Please don't let them get hurt."

"You really mean all that don't you?" He asked with a concerned look. I nodded my head.

"I won't let them get hurt. I promise." He said.

"Thank you." I replied. He got up and quickly hugged me one last time. He ran out of my room letting me fall back to sleep. Who knew being a vampire would make you so tired during the day.

I woke up to a sharp pain in my stomach. I lifted up my shirt that Paul had lent to me where I saw no blood or mark. Even though I had no injury I still felt the pain of the wound.

I walked out of my bedroom towards the boys.

"Your dead meat!" Growled David. I started running towards the boys. I ran straight into the frog brothers.

The frog brothers were completely covered in blood. It wasn't human blood. It was Marko's! The boys looked at me with fear in their eyes. I felt my face morph into the terrifying monster that I had become. Suddenly the boys smelt so sweet to me.

They started to run past me. I flew over to them and cut into their path. The looks of horror on their face were almost amusing.

"Hi boys." I said with a menacing smile. They slowly started walking back into the depths of the cave.

"Where do you think you're going?" I said.

"They won't be going anywhere." Added David from behind them. He had an angry growl in his voice.

The frog brothers were now surrounded. Sam and Michael were already out of the cave and had taken Star and Laddie with them. David grabbed Edgar and held him by his throat.

I went to grab Alan when I was pulled backwards into the arms of Michael. He held onto me tightly almost crushing my body. David's head snapped up to look at me. He tightened his grip around Edgar's throat. He moaned in pain at David's action.

"Let him go or Ashley gets toasted." Growled Michael. His words made me feel sick to my stomach.

"Mike?" I whimpered in response to his words.

"Shut up Ash! This hurts me more than you." he hissed at me. He tightened his grip around my throat. I winced in pain.

"Hurts you more than her!" Shouted David angrily. "She's your sister and you are using her as a hostage!" He hissed at Michael. Michael didn't even respond to him physically or verbally.

"Let the boy go! This is between me and you David." He growled. He started walking towards the exit of the cave with me in his arms. I kicked my legs in the air hoping to loosen his grip on me but my efforts were unsuccessful.

"Michael please I'm your sister" I begged.

"You're not my sister anymore." His words shot straight through my heart. My body went numb and I started to feel dizzy.

"Mike please. I love you." He ignored my begging.

Suddenly I felt a searing pain all over my body. I was outside. I had no choice but to use my new found weapon. I bit down into Michael's arm. He winced in pain and threw me onto the floor.

Edgar ran past me and then I felt David grabbing me.

"Ash? Are you okay? Love? Talk to me." I couldn't help but cry. I had never felt such a betrayal from anyone before. Especially from Mike. He was like my best friend, we supported each other through so much but he just stabbed me in the back. I pushed all my emotions the furthest away they could go from me.

I stood up with a tear stained face. "I'm fine" I said coldly. I walked past David and headed towards Marko.

"You don't seem fine." Shouted David.

"Trust me I'm fine." I replied emotionlessly. I felt a hand grab my arm and pull me around. David looked into my eyes worriedly. He lifted his hand to my cheek trying to comfort me.

"Love I know that you are not okay. You can be sad if you want to." He explained.

"Not everything is about me. Marko almost died and is still extremely weak." I shouted in David's face. I instantly regretted shouting. I could tell that he didn't expect that.

"Still look at your back. You are covered in burns." He said with concern in his voice.

"I'm fine. Where's Marko?" I said changing the subject. I didn't want to talk about what just happened.

"He's in there." Said David glumly whilst pointing to the room behind me. I know he wants to support me but I don't want to even think about what happened.

I walked over to the deepest part of the cave. The boys had said I could sleep there but I liked the idea of sleeping in a bed. It was cosy.

Marko was laying on the floor surrounded by a pool of red. I rushed to his side.

"Marko? Marko? Are you okay? Of course you're not okay! You were stabbed!" I started rambling.

"I'm okay now." He interrupted as he lifted his hand to my face. I hissed in pain when he touched my face. He had accidentally touched the burns on my face.

"Are you okay though?" He asked panicked. He attempted to sit up but he couldn't.

"I'm fine." I said coldly.

"You don't seem fine." Added Paul.

"I am." I tried to reassure them. They didn't look convinced whatsoever. I could feel the tears forming in my eyes.

"I'm perfectly fine." I started mumbling to my self. I could feel the tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Princess?" Asked Marko worriedly.

"I just, I can't believe Michael would betray me like that!" I snapped in between tears. They all looked at me with concern and confusion. I just burst into tears.

"Michael used her as a hostage. He pulled her outside." Stated David with vengeance in his voice.

"But the sun." Added Paul. His face twisted into a shocked expression at the realisation of David's words.

Tears kept streaming down my face. I couldn't stop them.

"I'll kill him!" Exclaimed Marko with a growl.

"No." I snapped. I mean he is still my brother. "He's still my family." I explained.

"We are your family now." Said Dwayne calmly as he crouched down beside me. He placed his hand gently on my shoulder trying to avoid the burns.

"You mean that?" I asked.

"Yes!" Exclaimed Marko.

"Of course we do." Replied Paul.

"We love you kitten." Said David.
