Chapter 2

Michael's pov

^

Another evening in the town bar while listening to the jeering crowd as I make my way backstage, I felt an increasing feeling that I should really be running from that place.

We had recently had trouble with the founder, Amelie's father, the man is called Bishop: like who the hell names their child that, it cracks me up, but the man doesn't.

Even though I'm now on the dark side aka, vampire Bishop creep me out as he is the oldest vampire ever to be known and that would scare the heeby-jeebies out of anyone human and vampire alike.

I had never come across anyone who wasn't perpetually frightened of the man except his daughter, Amelie the old female vampire who runs this whole town.

Although she hides in the background and makes the major do all the major work around the town.

Alright back to the previous subject …

I met with Eve and Shane who was a thing but unexclusively as they keep trying to tell me, they were both human and resided at my home.

Whereas my parents had moved out years ago and decided to leave the place to me and now I could do whatever I want with it, so yeah including the fact that the house is literally alive.

That means that it protects its inhabitants and has portals leading to everywhere in Morganville.

I was suddenly whisked out of my inner mind ramblings to deal with the fact that Amelie had just arrived and was right in front of me talking but I hadn't a clue what she had been saying.

"Sooo um sorry what were you saying Amelie?"

Sam my grandfather who was changed into a vampire in his early thirties sighed in disappointment or was it annoyance can't really tell anyway.

Amelie just looked at me with her expressionless glare I swear that's the only expression that has graced her face she is quite good looking even though she dresses old for her age.

I'm guessing she's about my grandfather's age in that perspective as they were like a thing now, now I'm thinking about it I don't really want to know.

Really I have to block that image out of my head to be able to think about what she is saying and take her seriously.

"I was saying that your house is a founder's house and as that follows I'm now telling you that the house has become my operation base in opposing bishop and his followers."

Ok I know this is gonna sound stupid to you that I'm talking back to the most powerful vamp around here who could easily just kill me right now but I was so out of it I just blurted it out

"Um excuse me so your telling me that your gonna take over my house and risk our lives by probably allowing my house to be blown up in the process and I'm not allowed a say in this whatsoever?"

"Well you do have a say in the opposition against bishop as you are a powerful young male vampire who has strong characteristics, the council has decided upon giving you the position of military defence major in this battle, if you're so willing," she raised her eyebrows as if she was expecting me to contradict her.

But I just stood there mouth wide open thinking … oh shit …
