Chapter 6

Amelie felt the buzzing vibration of opening a portal, but it was too late to do anything , she turned around to the entrance and waited for whoever will come through. Just minutes earlier, the Glass House inhabitants had help Myrnin to bring his time machine to the secret room in there home and just minutes ago the portal had closed. Amelie had stayed back, to cover their tracks in case anyone would come down here. Little had she thought, that someone would come here so quickly after their big moving ordeal.

Myrnin's time machine turned out to be extremely heavy and hard to move, but with the help of 4 Vampires and one Human , they finally managed.

"Amelie - what a pleasant surprise to see you here ." , Ada's cold voice couldn't have been more in contrast to the sentence. " I believe, I haven't had the chance to talk to you since our little , mmm…, our little alteration .", Ada gave Amelie an icy smile.

The " little alteration" was a loud and heavy argument, close to a hands on fist fight between Amelie and Ada shortly after the Bishop Takeover. It ended with a confinement for Amelie for a month , which Bishop insisted ,solely, to show his power and Ada's first open reprimand from Bishop. It was there, that Ada had decided , that being in power without Bishop would be a much more preferred situation than the current arrangement.

" I was ….occupied….Ada, …and I am on my way now . Good Bye! " , Amelie would have like to do so much more to Ada at this moment , but it was not the right time. Not now! Under all circumstances had she to avoid anything that could give Ada any suspicion , that something is going on, that could climax with the end of the Bishop reign.

Amelie turned around and wanted to climb the stairs up from Myrnin's lab to the alley. Even , if she was one of few, who was allowed to use the portal, she did not think it was a good idea , to remind Ada about this fact, especially , if she would open a portal to the Glass House.

When Amelie passed Ada , just inches away, Ada took a hold of Amelie's arm : " I know, you come down here to feed him…..how is he doing ? " Ada did not want to look into Amelie' s face. She knew to well, that Amelie hated Ada for the imprisonment of Myrnin and that she had convinced Bishop not to give Myrnin his healing blood for the devastating disease.

" What is it to you anyway ? " , Amelie looked Ada in her cold , green eyes. For a moment, Amelie almost saw something like regret in them, but if there was, she had blinked that emotion away as soon as it showed up .

" I , ….I just wanted to know. He is my sire and as you know, we have a special bond because of that. " Ada made a step forward, leaving Amelie with her back to admire.

Amelie did not know, how to interpret this almost emotional statement of Ada, but she was sure, if it was emotions, Ada would make sure, that she would suppress them as fast as possible. Since Ada had disappeared that night almost 150 years ago, this sweet , loving woman, which was devoted to one man - Myrnin - had disappeared as well. When she came back , in tow of Bishop's entourage , she was a different person. Cold, hard and hungry for power. No wonder she got along with Bishop so well. Ada was smart, always, not brutal like Francoise or absolutely insane , close to psychopath like Ysandre. NO, Ada, was a clear thinker, not influenced by any emotions , who could interfere with her decisions. She was a bigger threat, than any of them, because her working force was hate and revenge and these two components were entirely more consuming than blunt force.

" ….then go see for yourself. " , and Amelie continued her walk up the stairs.

" One more thing, Amelie,…..did you feel anything unusual ? ….anything not quiet right? " , Amelie was surprised by this question, not of the content, but of the tone Ada delivered it. Something got under Ada's skin and Amelie hoped , that it was the break they all needed.

Amelie moved her head to look at Ada, but she was still turned with her back to her : " No, everything is like it always is. No changes . " , and Amelie left with a satisfied feeling, that maybe there was a crack in Ada's hard outer shell and if they played it right , they would break this shell entirely.

Ada stood there for a while, aware, that she was alone and that she had exposed herself to Amelie, more than she should have, more than she ever wanted to admit to herself.

She looked around. Myrnin's lab ! Myrnin….. How did she hate this man. She had done everything for him. She let him turn her, so she could be with him forever, because she knew, she never was able to love any man like him again. He had ruined her for the entire world. …and how did he pay it back to her? She rather would have died in that particular night, than be rescued by him and told , that he loved someone else. How could he not see, that she was better for him, better than any woman ? So she had to do, what every woman would do , if they truly love a man, she killed her opponent - in this case - she turned her ancestor into a Vampire and ended her blood line. It was a gamble, she did not know for sure, that this Andrew Danvers was truly her ancestor, but she had to do something . She had started an affair with Andrew after she turned him, but she lost interest soon after and she left him behind , somewhere. She hasn't seen him until they have met in Morganville again many years later, but they were - indifferent - at most.

She had traveled through the United States and was hunting any Danvers Family she could find. She wanted to eradicate this family, these people from earth from her life,….., and she was successful. Claire never had shown up in Morganville, and when she and Bishop arrived in town, Myrnin was already so far gone, taken by this horrible disease , that he was in no position to help the rebellion.

Bishop , to show his generous site, had freely issued the cure for the disease to the majority of the Vampire community, but she had made sure, that Myrnin was not one of them. He had to suffer for all the suffering she had to endure.

..but sometimes, once in a blue moon, she had this feeling , deep down in her heart, burried and tied up securely, that she was missing something - love? Nonsense, she had to get rid of this debilitating emotion. She did not love Myrnin anymore, not now that she was so close to be the leader of the town herself.

She tried to push this feeling away from her, ignoring it, but here in this lab, it was even more intense. She almost could smell him , she took a deep breath, not that it was necessary for her as a Vampire, but because she wanted to, she smelled him and she loved it. She could feel his embrace and his full lips, she could…..stop ! Myrnin was downstairs and he was locked up. Pushed over the edge by herself and beyond the point of return.

She walked down to the cells and turned on the light. She walked up straight to Myrnin's and called his name . Nothing happened. Then after she waited for a short time, not moving from her spot , starring into the cell, which was filled with old blood bags , feces and dirt, she saw something moving under the pile of blankest. Two eyes starring at her in a furious way, growling , desperate, to push his fangs into her skin and suck her dry.

Ada turned around and walked back, she had seen enough.
