Hey guys,
So I'm going to write this chapter in POV'S and then I may stick with it, may not *le shrug* tell thoughts on if it's better or not... I know chapters have been short, sorry, please forgive, I will try to do a long one soon though

Oliver's POV
Common grounds was empty and by empty I meant properly empty; no one was in there, no one except me of course. This hardly ever happened but when it did I would cherish the blissful silence of my own thoughts and let me do something I never normally had time for; it gave me time to think. The past 6 months had been an entire rush of madness yet we had all settled into the strange change of the past secrets being revealed. I still could not get over the fact that Claire was my daughter... It felt strange, after watching my previous children live and then die so long ago and then finding out that I have another child, but this time it is small fragile Claire whom which I had been close to killing times before, and that was not the end of it; the mother was my old flame Mae.
Well, by old I mean former and now present, which I am happy about of course. Yet I must admit that I am angered at the fact that Amelie had chose Mae to be her successor when I was her second in command. Though I know that Mae shall do whatever I wish for the well-being of Morganville, if I ask for it I am certain she shall agree and go along with what I say. I do like Mae very much, I may even love her after all this time of denying myself the feeling.
"Well I'd expect better service..." A harsh and bitter voice said from behind me, I turned to see the ancient vampire Bishop standing behind me, I pursed my lips tightly as to reprocriate the bitteness feeling towards him to show that I cared not for his well fare and to show my utter most disgust at him.
"Bishop, leave now." I said darkly.
"Oh but I wanted to ask you if you were enjoying your freedom without Amelie... I would have said my daughter but I did not want to confuse you about whether I were speaking of Amelie or Mae" Bishop said sinisterly, at first I was confused but then I remembered about what Bishop had done to Amelie, I glared at him for a moment, trying to work out his game.
"Everything is fine, even with you lurking the streets trying to cause havoc."
"Ah well I've had to be else where aswell as being occupied here, did Mae like the fact that I let you go freely?"
"She is suspicious of me of course" I stated blankly.
"That is good, that is good" Bishop muttered.
"What do you mean?" I questioned straight away.
"Do not worry" Bishop smirked over at me "and how is she coping with the diesease?"
I hesitated, Mae had been OK at times, she was coping with her head rushing about and I had no doubts that she would be alright for the time being. But I knew she would get worse, I would have to force myself to speak with the fool soon about a way we can stop it, myself and Myrnin need to get hold of some of Bishop's blood again; if that still worked. I knew Myrnin had infected it last time with the diesease so it could make Mae worse, and if that was tha case then as far as I knew there was no antidote. "She is perfectly fine" I said through gritted teeth.
"Now now Oliver, no one likes liers... I think I may and go and see for myself... Goodbye Oliver, for now of course" Bishop said smirking and opening a portal knowing well enough that I would follow him through.
And sure enough, we ended up in no place other then Mae's room where she slept soundly.
"Ahh, look at her sleeping, lets see what happens when we do this shall we?" Bishop muttered, pulling out a wooden stake from his cloak and shoving it into Mae's chest, her eyes opened and then closed as she was paralysed by the stake being fixed into her heart.
