A/N: Hey, I would just like to mention that this is my first fan fiction! You may do with that information what you wish…. Lol. Hope you like it! I'd also just like to thank my Beta reader! :D Couldn't have done it without her! R&R please!

Also, to avoid any confusion, the story is set before the Morganville's series takes place and is about the day when Amelie finds that Myrnin has killed Ada.

Amelie's pov

As I sat in my office, I wondered what to do about Myrnin and Ada. To say I was worried about them was an understatement. They have both been weakened by this...sickness that they, and other vampires alike, have developed. At the moment, Myrnin is by far the worst. Ada has been taking care of him and helping him as best she can, but who knows how long it will last. She too, is becoming weak and showing major signs that the sickness that she bares is getting worse, though still not quite as bad as Myrnin's.

The last time I visited them in the lab was a few months ago. For reasons unknown to me, they insist on residing in it, as if I wasn't prepared to offer them one of the founder houses. In particular, I was going to offer them the Day house, which was originally built near the lab so they could be close by. Ada had called to inform me that the whole sickness had taken a turn for the worst. Solemn news this was, but true none the less.

Almost every vampire in town, myself included, is showing signs of the sickness. As of now, my only hope is that Myrnin and Ada will succeed in finding a cure. I have been monitoring their progress regularly, but I feel that a visit may very well be appropriate, considering that I am showing slight signs of the sickness. I looked down at my hand that was gently resting on my lap, when it jerked slightly, against my will. This would have gone unnoticed by a human, and even by a younger vampire, but to me it was a large reminder that the sickness was spreading and a cure must be found before it is too late. With that in mind, I stood up and put on my coat, deciding that it would be best to go to see Myrnin and Ada now rather than later.

I decided to walk to the lab, under the cover of darkness and unaccompanied by my entourage. This was a matter that I wished to keep secret from as many vampires as possible and for as long as possible. I think that for now it is best to abide by the saying 'what they don't know can't hurt them.' Besides, I fear that if other vampires become educated as to what the sickness is and what it does, they may begin to use it as an excuse to hunt humans. This would cause a complete uproar and the peace that I have worked to build between vampires and humans would fall and cease to exist.

After a short while, I reached the lab. Before going into the alley where the lab is situated, I stopped to ensure I was not being followed. Satisfied that I was indeed alone, I walked up to the lab and knocked at the door, but there was no immediate answer. I waited for a moment before deciding to chance going inside. The door was unlocked and opened easily, creating just enough noise to make my presence known. I have learned not to go barging in, as the last time I walked in, I saw something that I could truly have gone my entire existence without witnessing.

I walked inside and cautiously stepped down the stairs. "Myrnin?", I gently called out. "Ada? Are you here?". Well, I certainly hope they're here. God knows what chaos would accumulate were they not, but it is safe to say it would end rather badly for a number of humans. My inner monologue was cut short by what I saw before me.

There was Myrnin, shaking and cowering in the corner of the room with both hands pressed up against his face. Panic hit me instantly. It would take quite a lot to reduce Myrnin to something like this and I immediately knew something very bad had happened. A familiar scent reached me and horrified, I surveyed the room. It was entirely covered in blood, vampire blood. And to be more specific…..Ada's blood.

Hope you liked it! Please tell me what you thought of it! :D
