a family bond

"what mark what is it?" mark lowers his crossbow "that's my... big sister Agatha" they all look at Agatha "good grief mark are you really in another group, don't you remember what happened to the last group" Agatha gives them a sadistic smile "SHUT UP YOU BITCH!" mark loads his crossbow "mark no!" shrunak grabs it and pushes it down. "you the flame one" Agatha points at Paige

"you look just like Mark's last friend oh what was her name? it was Abigail I think" "you shut up bout her she was a kind lady" mark backlashes at Agatha's taunting "she betrayed you mark and that's i-" mark sucker-punched Agatha and knocked her out "shrun tie her up to a tree. I'm gonna show you two a vampire ability not many know"

with Agatha tried up mark puts his index finger at her and his nail grows and he digs it into her brain. "what the fu-" Paige vomits and shrunak gags "what are you doing?" "I'm gonna take some of her blood, and that way I'm stronger problem solved" Paige just turns around, she can't bear to look "are you done?" she asks and shrunak looks back "yeah he's done" Mark's leaves Agatha's body looking frail "see that wasn't so bad" "is there anything else you can do vampire man?" Paige asks and mark ponders "hmmmmm I have got corrosive blood but that's my magic, I can just do what any vampire can do like flying or turning people into my minions or vampires," Paige's face thinks about what else he can do "can you turn into a bat?" shrunak questions "well that's a stereotype we just grow wings" mark points out "does it hurt?" and after that mark realises he never tried "I never tried but I don't wanna find out."

the three walk into town as the sun starts to shine over the horizon "thankfully I have my umbrella for this" mark pats his sides slowly realising he left it in the tavern.
