The woman in the corner turned around so fast, it made me feel dizzy.
'Was there any need for that!?' she hissed, her pupils dilated, and was it me, or did her irises have an outer lining of crimson? Almost like the colour of blood sharpened on Photoshop numerous times.
Oliver acted like a young boy who had just been caught doing something wrong.
'I'm sorry but their incompetence and ignorance just got the better of me'
'Screw that, where the hell is she!? Where'd she go?' I screamed.
As far as I -and anyone else in the room that was sane and normal- knew, Dawn had been pushed through the wall and hadn't come out the other side.
It didn't help that the wall was completely normal and flat, almost as if what just happened hadn't and we were all just dreaming.
'As if you don't know. Now, stop playing games with us. You can obviously tell that we aren't joking, and that this matter is serious, so why on earth are you still pretending that you don't know?' Oliver shouted, his voice rising towards the end of the sentence.
'That's cause we don't know! Shiiit, anyone would have gotten it by now! We don't know what's going on! We don't know why you're here, and we don't know what the hell you just shoved our friend through!' Kailah yelled.
Oliver's head snapped towards Kailah.
'Come here' Kailah did as she was told.
'We don't have enough time. How do you know about us?' He said this slowly, less threatening.
'We don't know about you lot. Whatever you are. I don't even know what it is we're supposed to have done!' She said through gritted teeth.
Oliver leaned back, and took a while to register this thought, before:
'Oh sorry, wrong answer'.
He picked up Kailah like he had done with Dawn, unlike Dawn however, Kailah let out a high-pitched scream and wrapped her arms around Oliver's neck. She then chose to stop screaming and let out a long sentence full of random swear words, all aimed at Oliver.
Acting as if this was no big deal, Oliver merely untwined her arms from his neck before throwing her through the wall, just like Dawn.
'Oliver! That is enough!' the woman hissed again.
'Our time is nearly up, we need to deal with this NOW'.
This time she actually took the time to walk towards us.
The remaining of us, with the exception of Alice who Oliver had beckoned to stand in front of him, faced the woman.
Everything about her screamed authority.
'We don't have enough time. You guys are children; obviously you couldn't have done it on your own. Now, I'm only going to ask you this once, what is the name of that who taught you?' Her eyes were icy blue, no trace of the crimson red that I had seen earlier.
We all opened our mouths, ready to bombard her with a bunch of explanations telling her all the same thing, before the bell rang overhead.
Then a silence.
'Too slow' Oliver growled, before lifting Alice up in his arms.
What happened next, put a more humorous feel on everything that had happened.
Alice screamed.
Way louder and high-pitched then Kailah, and that wasn't all.
She was kicking her legs in any random direction, some which hit Oliver, who stood there holding Alice at an arms length with a look of disgust on his face.
Her fists were flailing around aimlessly, like a newborn baby's.
But Oliver merely shook his head and, like the others, threw her through the wall where she disappeared.
The woman had her eyes closed, and let out a long sigh, almost as if she was relieved.
All of a sudden her eyes opened, 'we must go. Now. Time is running out.'
She made her way towards the door while we turned, our eyes following her; curious to find out what was happening but not curious enough to ask.
She paused at the threshold of the door, before saying 'deal with them'.
It didn't take long for us to find out who she was talking to as we suddenly felt the floor beneath us go, as well were lifted up into the air.
'Ugh! What is this!? I'm being man-handled!' Alyssa screamed, while Yuki and Davina had resulted to trying to fight off the burly bodyguards.
Despite the scuffle and diverted attention, one thing that was clear was laughter.
Laughter coming from Oliver as he walked past us, husky and kind of psychopathic.
We all then heard the 'that's what you get' as he stepped over the threshold.
All together, whether intentional or not, we yelled out a chorus of 'did what!?'
'Opened the portal! That's what!' Oliver roared, storming back into the room, 'never in my life has I met such a bunch of ignorant, stubborn-'
His rant was not finished.
The woman came back in; 'let them go'.
All of a sudden we felt the floor underneath us.
'Watch when I sue you guys, I'm going to take every goddamn penny you have' I heard Yuki mutter next to me.
'There telling the truth. We can't cause them any harm, we must go, now!' The woman snapped, disappearing from view.
Oliver and the two bodyguards followed suit.
'Who the hell do you guys think you are!?' Davina yelled, she was the only one standing, and by the look in her eyes I wouldn't have messed with her at this current moment.
If a record was given to the fastest re-entry into a room, I was pretty sure the woman could have held onto it, as within a blink of an eye she was there, holding Davina by the neck and looking like a mother leopard whose kids had been threatened on crack.
'I'll tell you who I am shall I? Name's Amelie, one of the world's oldest living vampires and founder of Morganville. And believe me little girl, I do not bode well to unwelcome visitors in my town' she snarled, before the teeth came out.
All white, pointy and sharp.
Yep, we were in deep poo.
