IMPORTANT NOTE If you have read any of my reviews, you will see that it appears that I have reviewed myself. I am not actually as big headed as to say my own story was 'amazing'. My annoying sister in fact decided to review my story using MY pen name to presumably make me seem like a big head. All I can say is she can really be stupid some times. So please don't tell me in a review how arragont etc. I am for reviewing my own story and saying how great it is. Because I didn't review my own story.

ANYWAY

Sorry this is only a short chapter and I also took so long to update. I should hang my head in shame for leaving you hanging. I warn you the next chapter my take even longer to be posted up, as there will be lots of exciting and important things happening it….. But I wont tell you anything else about it.

Thank you for reading this whoever you are! I am sure if you haven't reviewed this story yet you will review soon or if you can't it will be due to a very important reason, such as there being a bomb in your computer and if you press a key it will blow up you and half of France, therefore you are only able to read fan fiction stories and not review them.

Anyway, I hope you like this chapter. If you don't, tell me why it's rubbish and I'll try to make it better.

Chapter 9

Mateo and Nathanial had left the room quickly, eager to get out of Dorian's presence. He was dangerous. Especially when he was on the edge. It was times like this when he was at his worst and would do just about anything. The smallest thing could cause him to lash out at anyone and everyone.

Mateo let out a loud sigh of relief, obviously glad that they had finally got that over and done with. The pair walked down the corridor, trying to put as much distance between them and Dorian as possible.

'So, do you think he brought it?' Nathanial asked uneasily. He'd been unwilling from the start to join in with this scheme. It just doesn't seen right. I should never have agreed to it.

'Of course he did!' Mateo grinned broadly, proud the plan had come off so successfully. 'He believed every word of it.'

'Are you sure? I mean, it doesn't seem very likely does it-' Nathanial began, nervously glancing behind to check that Dorian wasn't in hearing distance. Neither of them would have been able to stop him if he had decided to kill them.

'Of course he believed us! He was practically crying,' Mateo laughed loudly, revelling in the fact that he had finally got his revenge on Dorian. Mateo's suffering was nothing when compared to what Dorian would be feeling. Brianna's death would haunt him for the rest of his life. 'Anyway, it will probably be true soon enough anyway.'

'You mean you've caught the girl?' Nathanial asked.

'No, but we will,' Mateo spoke confidently and seemed very self assured. He never doubted the strength of the rest of the gang in finding them. 'And we'll get all her friends too. As soon as she's told us where all the Daybreakers are, we can get rid of her.'

'But what if Dorian find's her before us?'

'He won't.' Mateo retorted. Nathanial's worrying for off putting and he needed to quiet him. If he began worrying, others would too. 'He won't be looking for her if he thinks she's dead, will he? So he'll finally stop looking for her and go back to what he was like…before she came.'

'How do you know? They were soul mates. It might just destroy him. I don't think he's ever going to go back to what he was like before.' Nathanial was beginning to wish he had never been apart of this. If Dorian found out the truth….well he wouldn't stop until he'd killed them both. Being a vampire meant he had all eternity to do it.

'Nathanial, we had to do it. He was going soft. We did it to help him. And even if he does find out the truth, I'm sure he'll understand.' Mateo's words seemed unconvincing, even to himself. Dorian was not an understanding person in anyone's eyes. 'I'm sure Dorian will forget all about Brianna. He'll probably begin wondering what he ever saw in her.'

But it was only Mateo who believed this. Mateo's fervent belief that Dorian would 'go back to normal' didn't seem very probable to Nathanial. Nathanial felt a strange feeling creeping up on him, and he doubted that it was a good one. Something bad was definitely going to happen very soon. And Nathanial didn't want to wait around to find out what it was.

Notes to reviewers:

Woo hoo! I now officially have 2 pages of reviews for this story! YAAAY! Whoopee for me! And thank YOU for reviewing.

dragonrox3000: Sorry for keeping you waiting so long but I got writers block. I blame my muses! I hope you like this chapter now that you know the big secret. Did you think this chapter was any good? What do you think really happened? Thank you so much for your review! Your outrage and saying that I should update soon really encourage me to write.

Piscean Wisdom: Hee hee hee! Don't worry, she's not dead….or is she? I liked all your very inventive ideas for what really happened. They were really good so I may use them for other stories! If you don't mind me stealing them that is? I am sorry that my chapter made you cry….did it really? I didn't think it was that sad… apart from poor Dorian. I really felt sorry for him. Don't worry I am not going to do a sequel as I am determined this story should end greatly.

incarnated-soul: Darn your cleverness! You were right…they were just spinning some story. I agree that it would be too sad for Dorian if Brianna died! He is too lovely to have his heart broken. No offence to Brianna, but I would feel more sorry for Dorian about her death than for her. He's my favourite! I am very sorry for making you wait so long for an update. Thanks for reviewing so quickly! The next chapter will be from Brianna's point of view so keep reading to find out what really happened.

To everyone else who has reviewed me but I meanly did not do a note to as I am horrible: You are all lovely and wonderful for reviewing me! Thank you so much for not being mean and your words of encouragement have really encouraged me to carry one writing. YOU ARE ALL GREAT! And I will try from now on to always to notes to everyone who so kindly took the time to review my story.
