The worst choice

Danny stepped back cautiously as his brother approached him, and his eyes widened at Craig's offer. Though his hopeful expression quickly dissipated. Surely this was a trap.

"What's my choice..?" He asked.

Craig's red eyes locked onto Danny's blue ones, and his evil grin showed off his long fangs. Danny waited with anticipation. His head throbbed and his eyes were slightly blurry. His legs were wobbly, he was winded and his shoulder was killing him, but he was determined not to let Craig know, not to expose his weaknesses to the Sexy Vampire Gang leader.

Vampire Dad's tongue traced his pearly white teeth as he finally answered Danny's question. It was subtly forked and was stained dark red by all the years of feasting on blood.

"Your choice is," he started. His eyes were gleaming with a sort of crazed, maniacal energy.

"You get to choose what order they die."

A wave of shock passed over the prisoners as they realised what this meant. The air in the room felt cold and still. Danny stood where he was, his mouth slightly ajar as he looked at his crowd of loved ones. They were all going to die, there was no doubt about it. He couldn't save them, all he could do was choose the order.

His teary eyes looked back at Craig, who was smirking at him ostentatiously. His pointed black boots chimed against the floor as he paced around the pit.

"So, Daniel." Craig said as he brushed past each of Danny's struggling loved ones. "Who's first?"

Danny was taken aback. His eyes darted from one prisoner to another. How was he ever meant to choose? Each of these people were so close to his heart.

"I.. I- you can't-" Danny stammered. Rage boiled inside him and he lunged forward, but fell when Gooby stuck out his leg, tripping his and causing him to slam his face on the cold concrete. Craig and Gooby both laughed as Danny struggled to get up.

"If you can't make the choice, then I guess I will." Vampire Dad said finally. He had stopped next to drew. "This one looks like you..." He ran his sharp fingernail across Drew's cheek. Drew flinched and shut his eyes tight, wishing he was somewhere else.
Craig grinned. "I'd like to kill him..."

Danny cried out in despair. "No! Please!" But Craig just laughed and slowly opened his mouth to begin draining Drew of his blood.

Just as his teeth were about to pierce Drew's skin, there was a mighty crash above them. Rubble fell into the room, and Craig's jet black hair was dusted grey as the light of outside illuminated the dark room. Craig yelled in pain as the sunlight started to fry his skin, and he ran quickly to the other side of the room, where Gooby had his cloak.

As Danny's eyes slowly adjusted to the light he watched two figures fly in through the hole in the roof. He could hardly believe his eyes. It was Marly and Dolphin man! He would be saved after all!
