The snow falls to the ground in graceful and unique flakes but I can't enjoy the beauty because my mind replays the final moments of my human life. As always Godric squeezes my hand-since our many, many trips in the bed together it's as if he has an even deeper understanding of my thoughts than ever before. Godric explained to me that we needed to reform Young Blood and admittedly my first thoughts were positive and I was excited but now I don't know. Although I have Godric and Stan and Isabel and Damien and Jolie and ten of Jolie and Damien's children I still can't help but to see the phantoms of my past coming after me. They said there should be little resistance but this place is nothing but the end of innocence and happy times.

Even though I am nothing close to cold I sink further into my fur coat that is large and nearly engulfs me. Since I showed Isabel the pictures of my trip Isabel has made a crazy effort to out do Pam-despite Stan's objections. We all walk up to the large castle in our coats that drag along the snow like snail trails. I don't want to be here. We stop just outside the front and I can't help but to feel like the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad but we are not here for death.

After a short silence Damien speaks, "There are many humans here, more than we anticipated."

Godric takes hold of my hand firmly at the statement before glancing behind us to our twenty six strong group. I watch as Jolie looks over her children steadily and Damien does the same. For the first time a real worry fills me but Stan is quick to huff, "Ain't nothing we can't take care of."

Isabel swallows uneasily but nods her head in agreement, "Stan is right. We are twenty six strong vampires against fifty humans, this should be easy."

Damien nods his head once and continue forward. Stan opens the large door first but we are met by silence and nothing more. Jolie's child Beau glances around before looking to us and asking, "Where is every-"

Beau's mouth is open and his eyes are weak and bleeding and I know the truth before anything can happen. A loud shriek escapes Jolie's lips as her arm reaches out to him at vampire speed but it is too late. Blood and chunks fly in all directions and that's when I smell it: the vampire blood inside their veins. There are cries from all the children, the brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers inside their blood line and I remember what Godric said. There is nothing worse than the pain of losing a child. But they waste no time in mourning and they move so quickly all I have time to do is blink and watch as humans fly in this direction and wooden bullets lodge in walls. This place can never be reformed-there will always be blood.

Godric pulls on my hand and before he says a word I feel the puppet strings, "Amie, hide!"

Before I realize what I am doing and that I have left Godric to fend for himself I am back in the cellars that had once been my home and I see every one is filled with at least ten beautiful women and girls that cry in the cold of fright. My eyes brim with blood tears as I watch them and I know this is my chance to save the sisters I could not before. In a quiet and calm voice I speak, "Don't be afraid. Me and my vampire friends have come to help you all. Is the hole in the last cellar still open?"

A tiny voice speaks, "I-It is."

I follow the voice and see a girl even younger than me. I have to save them. I clear my throat to get their attention-at least they're wearing warmer clothes, "I know the snow is thick out there but the safest place is outside. I'm going to unlock you all but we have to leave through this hole."

I don't wait for confirmation. I pull apart the old iron bars and on each of the cells and in the last one I walk inside though the girls cringe away. I crawl out of the hole first and catch my breath at the memories of not too long ago. But I have to be strong. I turn back around and get on my knees with my arms outstretched inside the hole. There is just a moments hesitation but then they come.

One by one I pull them out but as I do I hear the fire fight getting closer to us. Do they mean to take out these girls with them? Do they want them to all die with their defeat? I begin to work as fast I can but they are only human and they move so slow and some take coaxing and need to be convinced to go out in the cold and I can't be mad at them, I was the same. I'm almost done with just a handful of girls left inside when something sickening happens.

I hear the shots before I smell the blood and I dive inside and snap the necks of the men that have decided to continue the massacre. I cry out desperately as I hold my breath and watch another group of girls fall helplessly to these men and their terror. But there is a faint heartbeat. I rush to the woman so beautiful and hold her in my arms, Randy's face in my mind as I look at her beautiful blue eyes. I begin to cut my wrist to give her my blood but her words catch me off gaurd, "M-My little brother...my brother..."

"Your brother?" I question, my eyes widening at the thought that there could be more innocent people in the house.

She nods her head weakly but her blood pulls out of her so fast. She gurgles in her dying voice, "Save him."

I nod, "I will."
