Ana quietly snuck through the halls of the warehouse. She felt sort of bad for leaving Nikki and David to deal with untying Coraline, Josef, Sarah, Danielle, Mick, and Beth, but she knew that she had to get to Lance.

"Our plan is going just like we hoped it would" she heard Lance say. She froze in her tracks and listened carefully.

"I still don't feel comfortable with this" she heard Eric reply "I mean, we have her family"

Obviously, Lance must have told Eric about his prisoners, not knowing that Eric already knew about them.

"Exactly" she heard Lance say "Since we have her family, she can't refuse our orders. We will be the most powerful bloodline in the history of vampires!"

"But is it worth it?" Eric asked. "Aren't we already the most powerful bloodline?" Ana could tell that he was getting annoyed.

"Of course it's worth it!" Lance replied, angrily "We will be unstoppable! None of the other bloodlines can get in our way!"

"What if Ana doesn't have special powers?" Eric asked, knowing that was a lie "What if she only has the same powers that the rest of us have?"

"Well, we'll just have to wait and find out, won't we?" Lance replied, angrily

Ana started down the hall again and came to a door. Eric and Lance's voices were much louder now.

"Once we have Anastasia St. John, everything will fall into place" she heard Lance say "We will be unstoppable!"

"You already said that" Eric said, with an attitude

Ana kicked the door down with one kick. As she walked in, Eric and Lance whipped around. She couldn't help but notice the worry in Eric's eyes.

"Don't count on it!" she said, to Lance

Lance chuckled. "Anastasia St. John" he said "It's so nice to meet you!"

"I wish I could say the same for you" Ana said, coldly "But, sadly, I don't like to lie!"

Lance chuckled even more. "Where are your friends?" he asked, causing shivers to race down Ana's spine "I'm sure that you wouldn't come here alone"

"That's none of your business" Ana replied, quickly glancing at Eric

"Oh, but it is my business" Lance said, taking a step towards Ana "See, since you are part of my…family…your business is my business"

"So, does that mean that your business is my business?" Ana asked, with a smile "Because, I've checked you out. You've been a very busy boy!"

Lance's smile slowly faded. "Don't do anything foolish"

Ana sighed and crossed her arms. "But, foolishness is in my blood" she said "I'm related to you!"

Ana quickly went into Vampire Mode and lunged for Lance. They slammed up against the wall, causing a few pictures hanging on the wall to fall to the ground. Eric, who was shocked by this scene, was frozen in his spot.

Lance went into Vampire Mode while Ana had him pinned down. He quickly kicked her off of him, sending her into the opposite wall. Ana's head hit the wall hard and she fell to the ground, grabbing her head, trying to get the pain to stop. She tried to stand, but the pain made her fall to the ground.

Lance smiled a sly smile and started walking towards her. Eric couldn't help but notice a stake in his hand. He quickly went into Vampire Mode and jumped in between his uncle and Ana.

Lance was taken aback by Eric's behavior. He looked from Eric, to Ana, who was now trying to get up. He smiled again and started laughing.

"You love her, don't you?" he said, through a chuckle "Oh! How sweet!"

"That's none of your business" Eric said, before grabbing Lance and tossing him aside.

Lance crashed into the opposite wall. Eric quickly turned around and helped Ana stand.

"Thanks" she said, with a sigh, looking into Eric's eyes

"Don't mention it" Eric replied, doing the same.

Just then, Eric fell to the ground, not able to get up because of a sharp pain in the back of his skull. Lance was standing behind him, smiling. Ana growled and tackled Lance to the ground.

"You're quite strong" Lance said, while Ana continued to pin him down "My men have told me how strong you are. They said you took both of them on without any help. What else are you capable of?"

"Killing you" Ana replied, coldly "But, unlike you, I'm not a murderer!"

Lance laughed. "I know that you could kill me" he said, with a smile "That's why, I have to disable you for a short amount of time"

Ana growled in pain as Lance pushed a stake through her heart. She could feel her arms and legs tense up. She could feel her muscles freezing. She could hear Eric yelling as she fell onto her back, her hand grasped around the wooden stake that was now protruding out of her body.

Lance laughed as he slowly stood up and looked at his nephew, who had crawled to Ana's side, still not having any energy to help her.

"How pathetic!" Lance said, as he slowly walked up to his nephew "You are a vampire from the most powerful of all the vampire bloodlines and you can't even save the woman you love!"

Eric glared at his uncle. "Correction!" he said "Ana's family is the most powerful of all the bloodlines!"

Lance walked over to his nephew and slapped him across the face. "Don't you ever say that again!" he said "You forget. Anastasia is from our bloodline on both sides of her parents. She is more of the bloodline than we will ever be, which is why we need her to be all powerful!"

Eric glared at his uncle for moment. Lance composed himself and continued on with what he had been saying.

"Look at your mother!" Lance said, continuing "You are just like her! She's been so hung up on St. John that she even became human again to try and win him back, only for it to turn out that he was in love with another woman – a mortal at that"

"Step away from him!" a voice said.

Lance whipped around. His eyes widened, in a mixture of fear and shock. Behind him was Coraline, Mick, Josef, Sarah, Danielle, Beth, Nikki, and David, all looking very mad. He was outnumbered.

Lance chuckled, smiled at the group of vampires and humans in front of him and quickly ran out of the room in a flash, a plan already beginning to form in his mind. David and Josef tried to follow, but Lance was too quick for them.

"Ana!" exclaimed Mick, when he saw the stake in his daughter's heart, running over to her. Beth and Nikki gasped and ran over to Ana's stiff body, where Eric was also lying helpless on the floor. Nikki and Beth helped Eric stand while Mick carefully pulled the stake out of Ana's heart.

Ana took in a big gasp of air and grabbed onto Mick's arm. She could feel the energy come back into her body. She could feel her muscles thaw and her arms and legs loosen up. She slowly turned towards Mick.

"That felt strange" she said, weakly, with a small smile

Mick chuckled and smiled. He helped Ana to her feet and the two turned to face the group.

"What do we do now?" Nikki asked, still holding Eric up from collapsing "He got away!"

"We have to prepare for the worst" Coraline said, walking over to her son, taking him out of Nikki's grasp "If I know Lance, he's gathering an army"

"An army?" Beth said "For what?"

"He's going to gather all of the Vampire Mafia families to fight with him against us" Josef deducted "Now, we just need to make a vampire army of our own to go up against him"

"It's because we know about his operations" Coraline said "No one in the vampire community knows that the Vampire Mafia still exists. If they found out that it was still in operation, they would kill anyone who belongs to it"

"Alright" Ana said, still holding onto Mick, until she was sure her energy was back "So, do we have enough people who would fight with us?"

Josef nodded and smiled a sly smile. "We'll make some calls" he said "I'm sure that our mafia contacts will help us"

"Good" Mick said, as Ana let go of him

"Just think" Eric said, with a weak smile, remembering that Gianni had called Eric's new friends the "St. John Family", "We've made our own Family"

"Oh, this Family was made before this whole incident" Danielle said "In fact, guess who's the head?"

Eric's eyes landed on Ana. "You?"

"Funny how things work out, isn't it?" Ana replied, with a smile
