It's been almost an hour since we, no since I knocked Christian out and left him in the families study. Was I insane to even believe this to go along with Catherine's idea? I'm still so confused as to all of this as Catherine walks over to me.

In the blink of an eye she pulls out a silver dagger from behind her back. My eyes barely register it when I wait for it to plunge into me. How could I have made such a stupid mistake? We will all die now and Christian will be alone.

"Ouch!" I shout.

A pain comes from my finger and I look down to see Catherine has pricked my fingertip. She takes my finger squeezing it hard as my blood drips into a small bowl that she is holding out. She stares into my eyes as if trying to sense something deep inside of me. What is she searching for? I think glaring back at her.

Her gaze grows deeper and her lips break into a dark dangerous smile. She releases my finger and pulls the dagger out licking my blood from the blade as she walks over to the open field with the bowl.

"Delicious!" She offers.

My eyes remain locked on her as Mia takes hold of my hand and gives it a gentle squeeze for reassurance. Mia is stood side by side with me. Elliot is stood on the other side of me and Grace and Carrick flank them both.

If this goes wrong it would end up a five on one fight. Four immortals and a human against a vampire. I know I would be the only casualty but deep down so would both our children. I would fight to my last breath for them.

All of us stare at Catherine waiting for even one moment of her trying to deceive us as she draws a large circle. Inside that she draws a five point star with my blood on her fingertips.

"So you don't think she is telling us the truth?" Mia whispers.

"I'm certain she is up to something. I just don't know what. Christian always told me vampires only care about themselves." I reply quietly.

"If she tries anything, We'll be ready." Carrick says winking.

Catherine moves away from the symbol she had finished in blood. There are multiple strange symbols in the circle and what looks like a goat's head inside the centre.

I go to open my mouth when Catherine speaks first.

"It's the devils goat also known as the black goat or scapegoat. I see I'm going to have to explain everything to you people. Now I'm sure you don't know Latin. So my next few verses have to be spoken in Latin to summon the demon." Catherine states annoyed.

For the next few minutes Catherine talks out loud the Latin ritual. I try to understand words but only manage to pick up the names Lilith and Lucifer which she repeats many times. Just as Catherine finishes I look back over at the circle however there is no sign of Elena.

"Why didn't it work?" I snap.

There is a large pool of red and black smoke that begins to whip up inside of the blood circle. We all watch in stunned silence as the spiralling smoke forms the shape of a figure. Then it becomes form fitting turning deep red to match Elena's skin colour.

Her curavous red body covered with deep red scales that protect her modesty. A serpent like tail moves behind her. Her piercing eyes are the deadliest shade of black, her lips curl into a dangerous smile showing her row of sharp white teeth. Her long dark red flowing hair falls down over her shoulders as she takes each one of us in her gaze.

My glance over at each one of the family members. Mia is staring at her with a look of pure hate rid, Elliot looks on in disbelief. Grace had the look of shock and fear visible all over her face. Carrick seems to focus on her deeply as if trying to understand her.

"Now why did you summon me here?" Elena asks casually.

"They didn't summon you. I did!" Comes Catherine's voice.

Elena suddenly seems to realise that Catherine is stood there and her devious smile disappears. She glares as Catherine.

"What does a little Kafgan want summoning me?" Elena hisses.

"You should do well not to address me in that way." Catherine states firmly.

"I shall address you however the hell I please. Just because you're a princess does not mean I won't tear the flesh from your bones." Elena responds.

My eyes snap over to Catherine. What the hell does Elena mean that Catherine is a princess? Is she from the days of old too? A princess turned into a vampire back in the days of knights?

Catherine glances back over at me for barely a second before refocusing on Elena.

"I can't wait to see you do your worst." Catherine smirks.

Elena snarls and lifts her hand toward Catherine quickly. Catherine doesn't move in the slightest. My eyes turn back to Elena who looks slightly confused before she glances down and see's the circle she is stood inside.

"Clever." Elena growls out.

"Well I have dealt with your kind before. Now I have not summoned you here for a fight. I know you gave Christian his powers and his immortality. All I want to do is take them away. Now if that means banishing you from him, well that's just a bonus." Catherine laughs.

Her laugh is cut short with Elena laughing out loud. This makes Catherine's laugh falter.

"What is so amusing? I expected maybe some begging and maybe even a deal." Catherine says.

"You seem to have all of this figured out. I didn't want to stop you on these wild thoughts you have been thinking." Elena responds.

(So after all this time finally the two meet. It seems Catherine has Elena at a disadvantage. Was it wise to leave Christian out of the battle for his life?

Also my boys are back to their normal crazy ways, destroying the house. That's what happens when you have a two and four year old. Lol.

Now I have also begun work on some of Christian's diaries into his events throughout his long, long life. I would welcome any parts you would want me to write about. So please let me know in your reviews what you would like to read about.

My writing did stall to a halt for a while as I couldn't decide on if I should write Christian's diaries or The Rikers story but having a little trouble getting the Rikers story off the ground as i'm trying to learn to write in third person.

If you have any tips or ideas please do let me know.

I can not thank you enough for continuing to read this and going through right to the very end.

Please do let me hear your thoughts and comments in your review and tell your friends if you have been enjoying the story.

Thank you for giving a chance on a new story idea. SJamesW.)
