position of great power. It will be ours. We can take over and do as we please. We should be at the top of the food chain, not hiding from these peasants. Let’s do it together daughter, me and you. Our own special family. Survival of the fittest Catherine, that is me and you. Come on, join me and let’s take the world by storm.”
     
    “No,” said Catherine firmly and ensured that she kept her head held as high as she possibly could in his presence.
     
      “Well, Catherine, I don’t want to have to take you but I will if you make me. It would just make the process all the more harder and I will have to train you until you succumb to my way of thinking. The correct way of thinking. It would be so much easier all round if you just agreed to come with me dear girl!” Samuel’s tone had completely changed in his direction towards Catherine. A tone of violence, aggression and intimidation now fell her way.
     
       Continuing to hold her head high, Catherine looked right at Samuel and simply said again , “No.”
     
    “Well, that is a shame Catherine. Well you will be coming with us if you like it or not. Stand aside, Mary for I wish to take my daughter.”
     
      Mary drew her body closer to Catherine’s and pushed her as far back as she could.
     
      “Over my dead body,” shouted Mary “You will not walk out of here with my granddaughter.”
     
    Samuel laughed a big hearty laugh but was completely frustrated at the same time as this was taking up too much precious time which he could not afford to lose. He knew Tobias would be back at any minute and if possible he wished to avoid bumping into Mathias, considering their past history.
     
      “I have been more than patient, Catherine. You come here now or I will do as you grandmother predicts and take you over her dead body,” said Samuel.
     
      Mary continued to stand tight against Catherine, her arms reaching behind her to hold her. She tilted her head to the left so she could just about make eye contact with
     
    Catherine and whispered to her that under no circumstance was she to go without a fight, regardless of the consequences.
     
      As Mary turned her head back from Catherine,  Samuel jumped on top of her body.
     
    Catherine jumped on Samuel’s back and tried to pull him off her grandmother, but she was soon restrained by Joseph, who had been pretty quiet up until now upon entering the trailer. Joseph was taken by surprise at Catherine’s strength and struggled to keep hold of her.
     
      Mary felt Samuel’s sharp teeth in her neck and then felt the flow of blood leave her body and enter into Samuel’s. As he sucked her life from her, Mary suddenly began to smile.
     
      Both Catherine and Joseph saw it and were very alarmed at the unusual reaction. Samuel continued to suck and suck until not a drop of blood was left in her body and then dropped her corpse to the floor with a huge feeling of satisfaction.
     
      Catherine dropped to her knees and let out a blood curdling scream which attracted the attention Samuel did not want.
     
      The door to the trailer flew open and there stood Mathias and Tobias side by side ready to rip Samuel to shreds. Joseph backed away knowing his time was up.
     
      Samuel, however, stood up confident he could still get past these too if he really tried, whilst taking Catherine with him. He had Joseph on his side so it was one on one and he had just fed, giving him the added advantage he thought to himself.
     
      Mathias looked at the body of Mary on the floor and tears filled his eyes. His lost love, now gone forever. He looked up at Catherine and then back to Mary. Mathias could not believe that two people so special to his life had been taken by this man, but knew now that his time was finally up.
     
      Casually ignoring Samuel, Mathias strolled towards Mary and picked up her lifeless body and gently kissed her forehead. The smile was still on her lips and Mathias lowered his head to kiss them.
