Marcus opens the door at the grand hall. There were no students. Instead, the teachers were all their wands arched forward.

"Ah, good evening to you all." Marcus says. 

"I take it you have freed William?" Professor Dumbledore asks.

"Yes. I have come back to take this castle. Wizards and other magical creatures aren't as old as monsters." Marcus hisses.

I break the window and jump in. I slam the ground. I let out a growl. My claws arched. I feel enraged I hear William burst through the wall. We turn to the teachers. My anger was illuminating. I don't even know who I am anymore. I don't know what I am. 

Other vampires burst through the doors guns pointed. 

"You have a choice here, surrender or become our dinner." Marcus says.

"There is a third option, take your partings and leave the school but give Harry back to us." Dumbledore says.

"Hah. Fat chance." Marcus hisses.

William charges. I charge. The vampires charge. Marcus flies up.  The teachers create a forcefield. I stop. My breath falters. My hands shake. I turn to the teachers.

"Harry, you know this isn't the path you wanted." Dumbledore says.

My eyes widen. No... I'm not a monster. His eyes were so gentle. I grip my fists.

"Harry attack!" Marcus yells.

William lunges forward. I jump up and I grab William. I push him back.

"My sons, enough!" I hear a voice. 

We all turn.

"Father." Marcus hisses.
