Hey sorry about the delay in update but as I said before exams are stressing me out but tonight's the big update so enjoy!
Oliver's pov
In my day folk would take any job needing done; cleaning of sewers; a slave to a family but now I can't even find a mortal to fill a barista post. The young are only interesting in parties and studies whilst the rest already employed in work; a raise in hours means a raise in wage- they just don't understand.
I and Amelie, truthfully I love her; she sits with the town in my coffee shop yet sadly I don't believe we can be happy whilst they rein of bishop still lives. He's been sighted; somewhere in our small home of a town- Morganville has been wronged again. Someone somewhere has given him access; he's slipped in under the detectors- making him loose in our own town, no-one is safe. News broke in Amelie's office.
She sat the ice queen, no emotion on her face; but fear was present in the air. Her father has once caused destruction and death in our home; made us run and leave the others to battle a truly unbeatable immortal- I swore on that day, that next time none will run, we will battle him till his death… make him pay for the lives he lost.
But now we stand divided; only the powerful of our kind know but we all have different ideas. Some believe we should fight; whilst think we should just retreat- I stand to fight this man. Amelie sadly told the Glass house today, along with the cops (Hess and Lowe) they took it as expected; Shane wants revenge for this father, Michael wants to prove he's a fighter, Eve well she's scared but she'll stand strong but Claire…
I doubt she will run, standing strong with her friends; for a bright girl she does some dumb things but she trusts the ones she loves- for that this girl will survive. She'll be his prize if he was ever to win; she's Amelie's favourite- he'll think of it as payment to her debts. That's why Hess and Lowe know. Amelie believes that if we protect her then he won't have bate; she knows too much. If Bishop gets her, it's like giving him the key to Morganville; we nearly lost once- I can't 'nearly' lose again.
Claire's pov
He's back. He made me his puppet. He controlled my home. And he's back. Where do I start? I don't believe that we'll run again, Oliver wants to fight. Amelie knows, she's the chess master, the lord of tactics; yet I secretly believe she knows that running is no option. To run would be defeat; the cops are here to protect the house, protect me.
They believe that I'm in the most danger; Hess and Lowe now in live in the 'Glass house'- the high life is officially over. They have the spare bedroom. Ever since Michael and Eve became serious they share, so Eve's room is officially the cops' room. Apparently it's for 'my own safety' yet they are making me more of a target; people will get suspicious. Which group of teens has cops live in? Em none. That's because they don't need them; but that could also be because they don't live in Morganville- drama on every corner!
I don't think Shane's happy, Bishop took his father away. He made him vamp; he punished them both with one bite- for him it was pleasure. Shane won't forgive. His father to him is gone; he died in saving the town he hated yet I know better. I wish I could tell him, I really do but how would I start? Oh Shane thought you should know; your dad's a brain in a jar; he's alive but not and he runs the town- of course he wouldn't flip out, not Shane.
Bishop is trouble. Actually he's worse than trouble and maybe that's what will finally kill him; hopefully Amelie will hold the dagger… she'll sentence him to death, instant, agonising death
… With silver, always silver.
Michael's pov
Bishop. The vampire of all vampires. I for one was under his control. His bite, the strongest. His hold, the torturing. His heart, cold and unbeating. And he's back.
I'll fight; I'll prove I'm of Amelie's blood; not his. He took my free will; he nearly lost me Eve. She was alone. I was one of the fighters, Shane was one of the prisoners whilst Claire was his property, his slave; she lost us all- we left her alone. But not again. We fight as one and one is all you need.
Hess and Lowe are now members of the 'Glass house' and in all truth, I was happy before. We weren't the smartest of fighters but Claire knows a lost cause, Shane has the muscle, I have the speed whilst Eve has the determination which is something we all should have.
One day soon she'll be my wife. I will make a life; enjoy the time I have with her. She's my soul mate; the women I'm meant to marry; but becoming vamp has changed that entirely. She will grow old and one day she will die and I won't. I'll be one of the eternal; the bloodsuckers… the feared. People fear us through not knowing yet I know that most won't harm; it was freedom, a chance, an opportunity that made most of Morganville's vamps, Amelie is a kind, fair ruler- we will fight for that.
Bishop will not escape; this is his finally chance, because death will soon strike its sword.
So what do you think? Worth the wait? Going to try and write from other perspectives as well as the main characters; any ideas for the next pov… enjoy
