• "Drake....What did you do? T...Th...There is blood everywhere...What have you done?"
    "Big brother....It was an accident... I didn't mean it! I was so hungry! Don't tell big brother! Don't tell!"

    Those words play over and over in Daniel's mind every night in his dreams. The same words have replayed in his mind over and over again for 50 years. The words his brother cried out to him as he was taken away by Kara's servants. The words that cause Daniel utter pain every time he thinks about them... His little brother... young at the time, innocent, confused, and yet found utterly guilty of slaughtering a family of 5 in their home.

    It was a dark night in the small town of Aiud. Daniel lived there in a cottage with his only direct family, his younger brother by 5 years, Drake. He knew they both had cousins, distant relatives belonging to the Crimsons family branch of the Maxwells. He also knew that they should be living with that family, not huddled together in a small cottage in a tiny town. Most of all Daniel knew both he and his brother couldn't survive on small animal blood forever, one of them was bound to grow thirsty.

    As Daniel pondered those thoughts, Drake was wondering around outside their small cottage searching for rats. That was when young Drake, 8 years old at the time, saw a young boy, probably 3 years younger then him, out playing in the snow. Even from about 100 feet away Drake could clearly hear the young boys heart beat. He soon felt his fangs sliding down from his gums and a thirst painfully setting in his throat. The next thing Drake remembered was standing in front of his big brother, drenched in blood.

    Daniel starred at Drake in horror. He knew exactly what had happened... but wasn't prepared for what he was going to have to deal with next. The next morning, while Drake slept and Daniel sat in the corner pondering what to do next, the town outside was bustling with the news of murder and massacre. The day was seemingly one of the longest in Daniel's life.... and when night came... he wished it would of been longer.

    The sound of smashing and splintering wood sounded as the small cottage door was broken down. 3 or Kara's servants led by Kara herself swooped in. One servant scooped up the terrified an screaming Drake. Drake was carried away screaming "It was an accident! Big brother don't let them take me!"

    Kara bent down to look at Daniel. A cruel smile curved on her face. Her red eyes gleamed in the light of a torch one of the servants was holding. she touched Daniels face with the tips of her ice cold fingers.

    "Drake has been a very bad boy... he needs to learn a lesson... But you get to be mine... My new big brother..."
