Back with another chapter. Thanks for the support guys!

"This is the infamous Erin Noble?" Zara asked as the blonde stood up and brushed the dirt off her sparkling silver dress.

"You've told them about me." Erin stated, wiping some blood off her head.

"How are you here?" Vlad whispered, exiting the circle to stand in front of her.

"The Shadow Warriors raided our base in Paris. Malik got out, saving his own fangs but I got trapped. The Warrior reached into my soul, somehow turning me into a bat and swallowed me whole. I managed to overtake the Warrior's body and controlled it ever since."

"Five years... I thought you were actually dead for five years. Not that I actually care..." Vlad replied.

"I thought you hated me. When I left you, I wanted so badly to forget about Malik and run straight into your arms but you betrayed me, Vlad. I wanted you to pay so bad for what you did to me."

"Out of curiosity, what did you actually do to her?" Rhydian asked.

"Who are your new friends?" Erin cut in, gesturing around the room.

"Oh, meet Zara, Hugo and Rhydian, Maddy and Jana." Vlad mumbled.

"Hi." Erin replied shortly. "And to answer your question, Vlad bit me and turned me into this."

"Oh cheer up, Erin. At least you were his first and last bite." Ingrid smirked, crossing her arms.

"What a honour!" Erin said sarcastically. "So, Vlad, how have you been doing?"

"Alright. I found out that Malik is in fact our cousin, I'm half-breather, I have a mum and a little sister and I'm in love with a beautiful girl, named Talitha. You?"

"I can't beat that." Erin smiled gently. "I'm happy for you. You moved on."

"Well, he couldn't date his murderer, could he?" Zara said.

"He'd rather marry them." Erin retorted.

Zara and Hugo's eyes widened.

"I was in an arranged marriage to a psycho princess whilst I was with Erin."

"Can't beat that." Ingrid mumbled, chuckling to herself.

Vlad turned to her, eyebrow raised. "Uh, you were getting married to a psycho half-fang who you turned because you were in love with him." he retorted/

"Ooh, Ingrid's guilty secret's out." Zara smirked.

"Shut up." The vampiress hissed.

"Uh, what about us?" Jana asked. "What are we supposed to do now?"

"I think your school will be visiting ours from now on as you guys were a big help. As much as I hate to say it... thanks." Ingrid said.

"Have you guys got something against wolves or something?" Rhydian asked.

"No... It's not that exactly. We aren't too fond of our step-father. Our little half-brother is half-wolf. Well, he's my half-brother I guess..." Ingrid sighed, checking her blood red nails.

Just then, Talitha entered, here face contorted into irritation. "I have just had to deal with 800 annoying children whilst Tommy went walkabout."

She stopped and faced the blonde.

"Who is she and where did she come from?"

Erin smirked and stepped towards the brunette, her hand out. "Erin Noble, Vlad's ex-girlfriend. I'm guessing that you are the current girlfriend?"

"Why are you here?" Talitha hissed, baring her fangs.

Erin's eyes widened as she started chuckling. "Put those away! I'm not here for Vlad. Well, I am. But not for those reasons. I'm not here to compete for his cold undead heart."

"Then why exactly are you here then?" Hugo asked.

"I just wanted forgiveness and to warn you."

"Warn us from what?" Vlad asked.

"No, not all of you. Just Vlad. There's kinda a death penalty on your head..." Erin grimaced.

"What do you mean?" Vlad growled slightly.

"I mean, you are blamed for the murders of fourteen slayers and eight vampires. All of which, I had no part in."

"So that means-"

"That the peace treaty is failing and someone is out there, sabotaging my success and putting the blame on me." Vlad finished for his sister.

"I think I better call dad. See what he has to say about this." Ingrid mumbled, leaving the room.

Zara and Hugo sighed. "We best go down there and join the rest of the school. Piers can't handle it all on his own." Hugo mumbled, grabbing the arms of two Wolfbloods whilst his girlfriend grabbed the remaining before they both shot off downstairs.

"I'm sorry, Vlad. I best be going." Erin muttered before leaving herself.

Vlad sighed as he ran his hands through his hair as his girlfriend, rubbed his forearm.

"We're going to solve this. I promise." she whispered, kissing his lips.

Now, Vlad wasn't so sure that his heart belonged to the brunette. Maybe the blonde had kept it all this time.

Thanks for reading!
