"There's still one more," Edgar says grimly as Lucy rides up the driveway with Max in the passenger seat.

"We'll handle Mom." Sam looks at me and grabs my hand. "Don't let her see the dead bodies." Sam finishes as he looks at my brothers. Sam drags me to the front door as Lucy opens the door with Max following her.

Lucy glances around the house with her mouth hanging open. "What happened here? Where's Michael? What happened to your face?" Lucy rambles as she grabs Sam's face and inspects it. "Why are you crying? What's happened Ziggy?" Lucy moves to wipe my tear stained cheeks. Sam goes to explain what happened but Lucy cuts him off. "No, I don't want to hear another word from you until I talk to Michael." Lucy walks past us but stops as Edgar and Alan block her way.

I watch as Max walks past us and goes to the taxidermy studio where Michael and Star are hiding and David's dead body is. I step away from the four and follow Max. I stay a good distance from the studio so I can still see what the man was doing. I watch as he grabs David's angelic face and studies it. He steps away from David and comes back into the main room.

"I'm sorry, Lucy. This is all my fault." Max says as he walks past me. "David and my boys misbehaved. I told you, boys need a mother."

"I knew it. You are the head vampire." Sam accuses as he points a finger at him.

"And Zelene, every vampire needs a mate, you were supposed to join with David." Max says as he looks at me and turns his attention to David. I let a single tear slip down my cheek and look down.

"You're the secret David was protecting," Star emerges next to me.

"Bit you passed the test.."

"Oh you silly boy, you never invite a vampire into your house. It renders you powerless."

Sam, Edgar and Alan begin to whisper as Lucy scoffs. "Has everybody gone crazy? What's the matter with all of you?"

"It was you I was after all along, Lucy. I knew if I could get Sam and Michael into the family. There was no way you could say no." Max explains with an evil smile.

"Where's Michael?" Lucy urgently asks.

"It was all going perfect, Lucy. Just like one big family. Your boys and my boys, and of course the girls," Max trails off as he gestures a hand to Star and me.

"Great, the bloodsucking Brady bunch," Edgar grimly jokes.

"I still want you, Lucy. I haven't changed my mind about that. And you Zelene."

"I didn't invite into my house this time Max." Michael lowly accuses as he approaches Max. Michael charges at Max but Max effortlessly throws him over his shoulder and into the upstairs balcony.

"Don't fight, Lucy. It's so much better if you don't fight." Max extends a hellish hand out to Lucy and Lucy hesitantly goes to take it.

"No Mom, don't do it!" Sam shouts as Lucy placed her small hand into Max's large one.

Max went to bite Lucy's neck but a rumble is heard outside.

The wall is bulldozed down by a large jeep with enormous wooden stakes attached to the front. Lucy runs away back to her son and my brothers as Michael, Star and I back away towards the studio. Max is a stuck in place with shock like a deer in headlights. The stakes drive right through Max's body and into the wall.

"How much did you think we charge for this?" I hear Edgar whisper to Alan. I slap the back of his head.

"They're our friends, money isn't the issue right now!" I whisper back.

Grandpa Emerson emerges from the jeep and walks straight to the kitchen. We all follow after him to see him opening up a cold beer from the fridge.

"Dad! Are you alright?"

"One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach. All the damn vampires."
