He failed. He could feel it. As he was dying, he knew the others were gone. He already watched Marco die screaming and spraying blood, and he felt Paul and Dwayne's pain as they died horrible deaths. Whose fault was it?

It was the fault of that backstabbing rat, Michael, his idiot little brother Sam and those wannabe vampire hunters the frog brothers if he could go back in time, he would've killed the Emersons the second they came to town. He tried to make that ingrate Michael immortal powerful and give him a family that would last forever, yet he refused, and he was viciously impaled on a dead animal for his efforts.

David wondered Where would he end up? He knew he was not getting into heaven yet he didn't feel as though he deserved hell. Did he even have a soul anymore?

As his life slipped away old memories of a man, who died long ago. An experience that was strange, yet oddly familiar. As cliche as it was his life, began to flash before his eyes a life that started and ended years ago.

1885

It was a night in Santa Carla. A woman was running in fear clutching her screaming child close, she had to get away she couldn't be with that monster, and her son sure as hell wasn't going with him. She kept running until she found an old cabin in the middle of the woods had it been the 80s she would have known this was the worst place to be in this scenario.
But it wasn't, as a result, the woman ran into the decrepit cabin hoping for some form of sanctuary alas she gained none. She huddled in the corner of the filthy abode having stopped her child's crying for a moment and prayed to God that the beast following her would leave. A loud roar and the sound of the door being torn off its hinges was all it took to tell her her prayers were unanswered.

Instantly a fireplace she hadn't noticed blazed to life giving the room hellish look appropriate since she was running from a devil. The creature following her stepped into the light the fire showing a relatively ordinary looking man. He had light brown hair and brown eyes hidden behind glasses the man wore a Victorian era suit, altogether he looked fairly harmless but one look into those eyes at this moment would show something evil and far older than this man looked.

"Now come on Elaine, is this really necessary?" He said to the woman in a casual tone completely ignoring the fear and hate in Elaine's eyes.

She hid back her fear and spoke "Go to hell you monster, your not taking David anywhere." she said defiantly.

Max just smiled at her as if she was a misbehaving child "You know you cant stop me your fiancee sure as hell couldn't." He said with a smug smirk as he took out what looked like an engagement ring with bits of red staining it, he dropped in front of her enjoying the heartbroken look on her face significantly.

He then continued to speak kneeling down in front of her, and lifting her face so they are looking at each other "Now I know when he was alive you thought you didn't need me, but the boy needs a father and lord knows you won't survive without a man so one last chance marry me and you'll live forever and get to keep David. Deny me I'll kill you and take him right now."

He didn't notice Elaine pulling out a knife "My answer is no." She then stabbed him in the eye causing him to scream in pain. She attempted to escape running for the door only to be blocked by the man who looked murderous with a wave of his hand the crying David floated out of her grasp and was placed on a filthy rotting couch.

"It didn't have to be this way dear I didn't want it to but so be it!" The man growled before his teeth grew long and inhumanely sharp he lunged at the fear-stricken woman his teeth latching on to her throat her screams were never heard before he tore out her throat in gruesome fashion. She fell to the ground clutching her neck she found the strength to say one last sentence towards the monster.

"Youll burn in hell."She said before she died

The man just shook his head at the waste of a good woman before walking over to the child. He picked him up gave him a calming smile and said

"Don't worry David you'll be better off with me, Youll has power respect and immortality. I'm sorry about your mother but she had to go, but it will be fine your with good old daddy max now." He said with a sinister smirk.
