Dean Vane, Prince Of War

I cannot process what I'm seeing. My brother has been alive all these years? He died over 100 years ago during the war. How can this be? And yet, it is true. He stands here, in the flesh, taunting me.

And he wants to use Alex for his own gain. The power he already possesses is too great, especially for his warped mind.

"Don't help him," I tell her. "No matter what he does, do not give him access to the Star."

Levi flicks his wrist, and I am sent flying into the living room wall, crashing into the drywall. With a power he shouldn't have, he pins me in place, paralyzing me, squeezing my internal organs until I can't help but scream out in pain. I feel my life force being drained slowly from me, siphoned off by the power of the Star shards.

"Stop!" Alex rushes him, stupid, brave woman that she is, and with another flick of his wrist she's frozen in place, her face pained, her eyes wide.

"You promised you wouldn't hurt her," Alex's mother says.

"I'm not hurting her, just inspiring her to do what's in her best interest. And yours." Levi's eyes pierce through Sandra Stone. "Or have you forgotten our deal?" he asks.

And then it all clicks into place. Or most of it. "You turned Alex's mother, didn't you? After sending a vampire to retrieve their Star shard?"

"I needed her help to locate the others. I had no idea her daughter had the real power until much later."

Alex's eyes widen at this news, and she glares at her mother, who looks away, ashamed.

"You're helping the man who had my father killed?" Alex asks, as she struggles with the paralysis keeping her in place.

"It's more complicated than that," Sandra says. "Just do what he says. He won't hesitate to hurt you or those you love to get what he wants."

"Is that how he keeps control over you?" I ask Sandra. "By threatening Alex if you don't help and promising you your husband back if you do?"

Again she looks away, and I know I've hit in on the nose. My self-congratulation doesn't last long as Levi's limited patience wears thin. "This is a charming family reunion, but I'm not getting any younger," he says with some irony.

He walks over to Alex, and when he's a few inches from her, he grabs her hand and forces it onto the two Star shards he carries on the chain around his waist. "Tell me where yours is and where I can find the fourth one."

Alex squeezes her eyes shut, and I can see the internal struggle as she tries to resist Levi's control, but it's no use. He's stronger than us all at this point.

"Don't tell him!"

Alex shakes her head, pressing her mouth shut.

"She doesn't have to tell me, I can see what she sees," Levi says, sending a chill down my spine.

Tears stream down Alex's face, and I fight against Levi's restraints trying to reach her. The harder I fight, the weaker I become.
