Hours later, Michelle had finished healing and after several new X-rays confirming this, she was allowed to go home. She left the hospital curtly, only saying goodbye to Kai and John, with hurt feelings knowing that Hagi didn't want to be with her.

I get that his girlfriend's having a hard time right now, but she's the one who attacked me and yet I'm the bad guy? Michelle thought to herself as she made it to her apartment and began walking up the stairs. Why did she call me Diva?

Just as she began to turn the key in the lock she felt a strange presence coming from inside her apartment.

Someone is there.

She immediately knew she could handle this one of two ways. One, acting nonchalaunt and going in to face them or two, fight before they have a chance to respond. It was too late to run back now.

Slowly opening the door, she decided to go with option one. Simply turning the light on from the switch beside the door and turning to face them, she was caught off guard by what she had seen. No one was there.

But there was someone here just a moment ago. No one could move that fast... Unless-

"Hello my darling little Diva."

Twisting around to find that they had moved behind her in the split-second it had taken for her to walk into her apartment, she realized they weren't human either. Without thinking she ran quickly toward her kitchen, pulled her microwave oven from the counter and hurled it toward the shadowed figure before her. It met with a loud crash as it went through the closet door, completely missing her target.

"Now that wasn't nice, can you give me a second to talk? Jeesh," the figure spoke again, this time Michelle recognized it as a very feminine man's voice.

"Why does everyone keep calling me that? Why do they keep calling me Diva?" Michelle shouted toward the darkness in the hallway.

Slowly, the man came forward and he looked nothing like she would've imagined. He had medium-blonde hair with curls around his cat-like triangular face. He wore a very high-fashioned dark blue suit with an open white shirt beneath. Despite having just been faced with a microwave hurling toward his head, he wore a happily pleased expression.

"Well, I suppose that would be that... You're a spitting image of her," he replied. "Oh, where are my manners? Let me introduce myself, my name is Nathan."

As the man put out his hand to shake with Michelle's, she took a step back.

"Don't be so rude, I am a relative after all."

"What do you know?" Michelle demanded, slowly stretching one hand onto the countertop where her knives were kept.

"Well, a secret we need to keep between us," he began as he walked towards Michelle. In a flash, he had grabbed the hand that was slowly reaching toward her knives and pulled it his way as he began leading her into the living room. She decided against fighting and went along with him.

Who is this guy?

"Saya thinks I'm dead. She believes she killed me. I was going to leave her and Hagi alone for the rest of eternity, letting them believe that lie, but now that you've become a part of the picture everything has changed. You are... radiant. When I heard the name MdivaC I never would've dreamed she'd become part of the family."

"What are you talking about?" Michelle asked, pulling her hand back to her side. "It's obvious you're a chiropteran as well but..."

"I was Saya and Diva's mother's chevalier. No living being knows that fact but you now. When Saya and Diva were born I kept a close eye on them in the custody of those humans. I saw them treat Saya with love and kindness but they completely neglected my poor Diva. She grew up without being loved, without being hugged, only living off of the basic necessities to survive. When Saya had let Diva out of that tower and Diva had turned Amshel into a chevalier, I managed to sneak my way into the family and convince them that I was also Diva's chevalier. No one questioned the actions of Diva and if they believed I was her chevalier then I may as well have been. I watched over my Diva for many years until her final battle with Saya. Neither of the girls knew the truth, that after Diva became pregnant her blood lost its dangerous qualities. Diva died and Saya lived. To help Saya complete her goal of finally putting an end to the chiropteran species, I allowed her to cut me and believe that she killed me with her blood when she didn't. I slipped off into hiding and expected to stay there for the rest of eternity when I found that you had become a new queen, oddly enough from Diva's daughter's generation. You are nothing like the others for you would've become a chevalier were you a male. You're an artifically created queen."

"How can a chiropteran be artifically created?" Michelle replied with horror in her eyes. Is that why I'm unstable?

"Well honestly, it's not something I condone but brother Amshel did what he pleased. He created the term, although I don't think you would even know that. The 'chiropterans' that Saya was fighting that didn't resemble humans, they were not even natural-born chiropterans but artifical ones. Amshel created an extract from Diva's blood and introduced it into the blood of test subject humans. These humans would later become the chiropterans that Saya destroyed with her blood. Now, with that being said, you are somewhat similar in this way. You were created to be like a chevalier however, you changed into a third queen of the same generation. I understand that you go into hibernation cycles and only consume blood whenever it.. suits you."

"I'm not a monster, I just can't control it," Michelle spat back at him.

"I completely understand, it's only natural, you aren't human anymore. Since waking up from your hibernation, it seems as though your body has adjusted to that of a queen's futher, yes? Oddly enough, you're already begining to look like her... And I'm guessing, your mental stability is slowly becoming weaker every day, hm?"

Michelle's glare soffened to an honest expression of fear.

"Well I can tell you one thing right now, those idiots at the Red Shield will never be able to help you because they haven't been there themselves. They aren't chiropterans, they don't understand what it feels like. But I can. And not only can I help you regain control, but I can give you your life back, Michelle."

"What do you... mean?"

"I happen to own every major theatre company in the world. Think about it. You could be MdivaC again, but only under a different persona. I could teach you how to change your face, your voice, you could sing again but as whoever you wished to be this time. You could be anyone."

"And what are you getting out of this?"

"The satisfaction of being able to raise one of Diva's children the way I always wished I could've raised her. All I want from you is your dedication and loyalty, not just to me but to your blood family. Saya refused to accept her own kind, instead she murdered them in order to protect humans and further dilute herself into believing she was one of them. I would just hate to see you hurt yourself like that..."

Michelle looked away painfully. Am I doing the same thing that she did?

"Well, I don't need an answer right now but if you're interested, you can find me at this address," Nathan said, whipping a card out from the inside of his coat pocket and placing it in Michelle's hand delicately. "Until then, I bid you farewell."

And like that, he was gone.
