-Prelogue-
I smiled at Bishop, knowing what he was about to do. He plunged the wooden stake into my chest and I laughed lightly as I started to move to take it out. As I was about to, Bishop plunged a second stake into me- but this time through my brain. It seemed as though he had gotten better at masking his thoughts. I fell to the ground as my back arched and my eyes closed. He had won.
-Chapter 1-Aurelie POV-
I opened my eyes slowly, only to realize that I couldn't actually see anything. There was a pain in my head; I wasn't used to being in pain so it took me a while to recognize it as pain. I couldn't remember anything. My senses started to kick in and I could smell the damp earth around me. I could taste it even, and hear a thumping above my head. As the thumping continued I felt something dislodge from my head. The pain quickly seized. It was then that I noticed a pain in my chest, caused by what appeared to be a stake. I pulled it out and it my chest healed as quickly as the pain in my head had seized. Memories starting flooding back into my thoughts and I frowned slightly at how bad the majority of them were. I closed my eyes and concentrated throroughly.
-Claire POV-
Michael was still holding me and Shane, while we watched as Bishop smiled lazily at Shane's father.
"I won't kill you," he smiled, hinting that he meant he was going to do much worse. As I thought about what he would do to Mr Collins, there was a slow knock on the door. It seemed to surprise Bishop slightly, but not bother him. Without waiting for a reply, the person who had knocked opened the door and walked straight in. It was a woman, she had a small body frame; big, bright, grey eyes; her skin was pale (she was clearly a vampire); her blonde, thick curls were loose around her waist. Her clothes weren't from this time, they hung tightly to her body, but appeared to be covered with mud.
Oliver stood up quickly, staring straight at her, as though he was going to attack her. He ran at her and grabbed her... and pulled her to his chest. Oliver had his face buried in the strange vampire's neck, while her face was buried in his chest, her small hands laid flat against his stomach and his hands holding her waist, pulling her closer to him.
"Aurelie," he breathed, tilting her chin up and kissing her lips gently. I turned around to Shane, then to Michael, to see if this made any sense to them either- apparently it didn't. No one in the room, not Myrnin, or Sam, or Michael, or Shane could seem to figure out what was happening, except Bishop. His face was twisted with anger and he looked as though he couldnt tear his red eyes away from the strange couple. I looked back to Oliver and the vampire called Aurelie (weird that it sounds like Amelie), she appeared to have moved back from him slightly, looking straight into his eyes she whispered, "give me a second," walking silently around him to look straight at bishop.
"Father," she said, bowing her head slightly. Now he looked even angrier standing up so quickly his throne-like chair flew backwards. "How are you here?" he snarled. She tipped her head back and laughed lightly then looked straight into Bishop's eyes as she replied, "you made me, remember, Father?" which only made Bishop snarl more. He quickly stood up and moved so fast it looked like he was flying at her, Oliver ran to try and intercede but Aurelie was there first, throwing Bishop to the ground and clenching her hand around his neck. He spat in her face, Oliver growled and crouched as though he was about to pounce at Bishop, but Aurelie just laughed, pulled a silver stake out of her dress. Bishop's eyes widened in surprise, as Aurelie jarred the silver stake through Bishop's heart. He let out a gasp as his eyes rolled backwards. Aurelie jammed the stake in further until, I was sure, it was through the ground aswell. No one in the room could take their eyes off of her, as she stood up. She smiled.
