A/N- I know it's been a while. I'm so sorry, but I've been up to my eye-balls in rehearsals for my school show and University applications. It might get better from now on because my applications are done, but we'll see. Thank you for all your reviews from the last chapter. It's now over 140!

Enjoy the chapter xx

Her bare feet pounded against the brown grass that sat in the ground. It was hard and brittle and it snagged at her feet as she ran. Her arms trickled slightly with blood as twigs with spiky thorns latched onto her skin and dragged along it. She ignored it, even as her hair caught in the branches. She just continued running. Her clothes became attached to the branches and she heard the familiar tear of fabric. Her head whipped behind her as she tugged at the fabric, allowing it to tear away completely. Her calves were now exposed, and the harsh wind wrapped around them. She felt a chill run through her body as she continued to run.

She could hear them now. Loud voices that strained to be heard over the storm that was raging around Collinsport. The argument was heated, the fight far from over. She'd been left behind for her own safety, but she'd seen them. Heading towards the famed widow's hill. She'd seen the angst written all over his face. She saw the determination that clouded her eyes. She knew she needed to help.

"Barnabas!" Julia shouted as she emerged from the trees. The argument between Angelique/Victoria and Barnabas was cut short, when they saw the dishevelled Julia walk bare foot towards them. "Barnabas stop this."

Earlier…

"How?" Julia asked, her face a mixture of horror and confusion. Her hand had come up to clutch the front of Barnabas' shirt. She leaned in towards him. This motion only made Angelique madder. Her anger bubbled up inside Victoria.

"For many reasons, Julia." Victoria replied, after the new revelation it was easier to hear the slight edge of Angelique that now laced the polite girls voice. "I looked for a way to destroy Barnabas' happiness, after he destroyed mine. The first way was to turn him into a monster. I buried him and that seemed punishment enough; but when he made an impromptu return, I had to look for other means of ruining his life. I offered him the happiness of staying with me, but he refused."

"That doesn't explain everything though." Elizabeth said, her eyes narrowing at Victoria.

"No Liz it doesn't." Angelique replied "Once Barnabas had successfully killed me, my soul, so to speak, remained floating in the air. A sort of purgatory. I guess it was some form of punishment for all those many years of torment. I roamed this god forsaken town until I knew every name of every person. Every secret and every lie is inside me head. I know things that could make your blood run cold."

The others continued to stare at her. Confusion covered their faces.

"I knew that Barnabas was human again, you could say I felt it. So I found Victoria, she was still angry at Barnabas, but willing to forgive him for his handling of their relationship. She was ready to apologise for the problems that she caused him. But I made a quick call." Angelique continued her explanation; a proud look began to creep up Victoria's face. "I found her and possessed her. She has become a vessel for me to carry out my wicked ways."

"So you killed her." Barnabas spat. His eyes narrowing as his grip tightened around Julia's arm.

"Basically." Angelique said an air of nonchalant caught in her voice. Angelique began to pace towards Barnabas. Victoria's heels clicking on the stone floor. Her wide eyes showing even more hatred than they did before. She stopped directly in front of Barnabas.

"Do you still see her in here?" Angelique asked. "Do you still see your beautiful Josette? Your beautiful Vicky? The girl who trusted you. I didn't do this Barnabas you did. I will have my revenge."

Victoria's hand crept its way upwards, cutting through the air until it's claw like shape was directly in front of her face. A small smile had worked its way onto her lips as she moved her hand forward. The air seemed to shift, as her hand turned into a fist. Victoria quickly splayed her hands. With one quick push of the air, Julia went flying backwards. Her back smashing into the stone wall andslumping to the floor. Barnabas swiftly grabbed hold of Victoria's neck and began to push her backwards until her back hit one of the pews. Angelique bended Victoria's back so that she was slumped over the pew. Barnabas's hands were still firmly around her neck. Barnabas moved her head up before crashing it back down onto the pew.

There was a loud cracking noise as Victoria's head hit the pew. Barnabas turned his head around just in time to see a tree branch smash through the stained glass window. Barnabas ducked as the shards of glass flew at him. The branch scraped his head as he let his grip let go of Victoria's neck.

Victoria quickly picked herself off the pew, before whipping her hand through the tense air. The shards of glass on the floor, pointed upwards and began to float up towards the ceiling. Before they reached the ceiling, they flipped around so that sharp ends were pointin downwards. Victoria's fingers clicked and the shardsbegan to shower down towards the Collins family. Barnabas watched in horror as a large shard of glass punctured David's skin. The blood beganto flow from the open wound.

"David!" Elizabeth yelled; she ran forward, and pulled the shard from his shoulder. Her aging hand wrapped around his wound, and applied pressure around it. "You're going to be fine." She soothed, tears of pain were rolling down David's face.

"Angelique stop this now!" Elizabeth screamed. "Why are you doing this?"

"Oh shut up." Victoria said. With a quick whip of her hand, the piece of glass that was already laced with david's blood began to move up towards Elizabeth. She did not notice the blade even as it sunk into the skin of her neck, it was only when the pain began to rush through her andshe could hear the faint screams from both David and Carolyn that she realised what had happened. Her hand that had previously been held onto David's shoulder found her neck. Elizabeth felt the heat from the wound and the surrounding dampness from the blood. The blood covered her dress in a mere 5 seconds. Elizabeth felt her body give out on her as she fell to a heap on the floor.

The slightly blurred images of Carolyn and David hanging over her. She tried to pull the air into her lungs, Elizabeth managed to muster up enough energy to to bring her hand up to Carolyn's cheek. She gently stroked the tear that was flowing down her cheek.

"Mom, don't go." Carolyn whispered. She hands shaking as she gripped tightly onto her mother's shoulders.

"Don't worry about me. You look after everybody Carolyn okay." Elizabeth said, her voice was shaking as her hand began to lose all feeling. "I love you both." Elizabeth's hand went completely limp and fell to the floor with little grace. Her mouth and eyes were left open with a cloudy stare hitting the ceiling. Her last breath had been used for Carolyn and David, and as the enormity her death hit them, they both held each other as their body's convulsed through their tears.

Barnabas watched from the edge as the remains of his family sobbed at the death.

"The second person to fall. All because of you Barnabas." Angelique hissed as she began to exit the chapel.

"This isn't over Angelique." Barnabas yelled before running towards Julia, who for the duration of this fight had remained slumped forward.

"This will never be over, until you are the one who has died. I will kill you. I will end this."

A/N – I think it's getting more exciting. I'm sorry for the long wait. I know it was a bit ridiculous but I had a lot of school stuff. It's only going to get worse. I'm on Half-term now so I might be able to fit in some writing time.

I'm hoping to finish this by Christmas, which is both sad and exciting. I would like to ask you all a question. Would you guys like me to:

Write a series of one-shots about the unseen moments of Barnalia within this story

Write a series of one-shots about random Barnalia moments.

Write a Sweenett fanfic.

All of the above.

Please review with your answer and whether you liked the story, if you want.

Thank you all for reading and I will get the next chapter out as soon as I can.
