A/N – Here is this week's update. I might do two a week or just one. I'm trying to work out how well I can do it. I hope you like this chapter and thank you for all your support. Enjoy the chapter :)

It was fast. She killed them nearly instantly. Jumping from her seat she clasped her teeth onto the skin of the man driving the car, feeling her teeth sink into the man's neck. He let out a small scream as she ripped at his throat, allowing the blood to ooze slightly from the hollow opening in the man's neck; he let out a breath, the breath was shaky. She saw his eyes lock onto hers, she felt the sadness illuminate from them; making her feel guilty. His brown eyes almost blackened as his head lulled forwards. Julia turned sharply to see the other police officer trying to grab his gun, he was letting out small nervous pants as he tried to find his gun. The policeman kept looking up at Julia his eyes demonstrating fear. Julia reached for his hand and twisted it around uncomfortably so that his gun, which he had just found, fell to the floor. A small bead of sweat dripped slowly down his face; he backed away from Julia trying to grab the door handle. Her eyes glimmered in the afternoon sunlight that was shining through the windows. She bared her teeth and sunk them into the man's neck. She drained him of his life, before hearing his last breath escape him, she heard him say the words 'You won't get away with this.' She let him slump forward; his head hitting the dashboard with a loud cracking noise. That last note scared her more than anything.

Julia quickly worked her way through the man's pockets and found the small key for her handcuffs. She ripped them off her wrists, leaving slight scratches on her already uncomfortable skin. The pale skin was now a light pink colour due to the blistering and burns. She kicked open the door and walked out into the blaring sun. Her skin automatically began to sizzle under the heat of the afternoon sun. Julia ran through the small crowd that had gathered, it was only a few people, some people let out small screams at the sight of blood dripping slightly down her mouth, it had stained her teeth slightly and was smudged against her lips. Julia continued to run, the smoke lifting heavily off her body. The people in the foyer scattered when they saw the thick black smoke. A few screamed, there were shouts about water, but Julia wasn't listening, she just kept running. People began to see who was underneath the smoke, and backed away against walls. A few who were brave enough began to walk towards Julia. She pushed them away with a flick of her hand. They continued to come towards her, she ran faster.

She reached the stairs and ran as quickly as possible up them; as she ran she smacked her arms slightly hoping to get rid of any small flames. She still had smoke crawling up her body when she reached the top of the stairs. She heard shouting coming from the bottom of the stairs and could see people beginning to run up them. Julia began her run down the hallway, her ripped shirt flapping about her arms. She'd thrown her shoes off in her room so she didn't have to contend with heels. However it didn't stop Julia tripping over her own feet and falling to the floor. She was trying to run as quickly as possible; away from the screaming people and towards Barnabas. Her knee grazed the carpet leaving a small carpet burn. She was going to have bruises later, she knew it.

Julia pushed herself up off the floor, allowing herself time to breathe; she was trying to get her bearings. Her chest was rising heavily, she noticed that she was near Barnabas' room, meaning that her own room was only a few rooms away. She ran down the hallway, her stamina had increased since she became a vampire. Her bare feet pounded against the carpeted floor, making a loud thumping noise. She skidded around the corner, her feet sliding against the carpeted floor. She saw the door to her room wide open. She walked towards it hastily. She smoothed her red hair down and wiped her eyes slightly to get rid of any remaining tear stains. She came to her door and looked into the room. She didn't know what she expected. Barnabas on the floor in floods of tears. Possibly an empty room; she could deal with that. What she didn't expect was to see Barnabas on the floor with Victoria beside him, rubbing his back slightly in a comforting gesture.
