The door went flying through the room, Claire looked up to see a bunch of vampires catch their balance, and Shane came running over to her. He saw the cupid wrapped around her neck and started yelling something Claire couldn't hear over the ringing in her ears. Myrnin appeared next to Shane and said something and then Oliver appeared. Myrnin said something else and Oliver nodded they both grabbed one of the Cupid's arms and starting pulling at them with all their vampire strength, until one of them snapped then the other and the cupid fell to the floor armless. Claire started gasping in all the air she could get, it felt like she would never have enough again.

Shane sat down beside her and ran his hand up and down her back, when the ringing in her ears finally stopped and she could hear him again. "Claire are you alright?"

Claire still gasping for breath gave him a thumbs up. He sighed in relief but still looked worried.

Michael and Eve ran over to her, "CB! Are you alright?" Claire was still too out of breath to answer, so Shane did it for her, "Well, other then getting choked by a statue of Cupid, She seems to be alright just really out of breath, her windpipes are probably pretty bruised though."

Eve sat down on her knees next to Shane, "Cupid statue? Why the hell would a Cupid choke Claire?" Myrnin reached down and picked up what was left of the statue,

"Because it is not a Cupid it's a Cherub." Eve looked up at Myrnin,

"OK then why the hell would a Cherub choke Claire?"

Myrnin rolled his eyes as if it should be obvious. "Because that is what Cherub's do! They are basically baby Weeping Angels. They look sweet and innocent and then attack when people are alone, weakest. Not as smart as the Angels though, and you can hear them coming."

Michael walked over to look at the Cherub, "Is it still alive?"

Myrnin reached down and picked up the arms, "but of course it is! For now anyway, I will ask Amelie what to do with him." And with a flash Myrnin was gone. Michael sat down next to Eve, Claire was finally starting to catch her breath and for a few minutes they all just sat there in silence, knowing they were about to go into another battle. Not knowing if they would all come out.

Michael cleared his throat. "So how about tonight we all get taco's for dinner?"

Eve leaned up against Michael's shoulder, "From Taco Palace?"

Shane nodded. "Where else?"

Claire smiled and put her head on Shane's shoulder, her voice was weak, but she managed to make out, "Sounds like a plan." They all smiled at the thought of the promise. They would all make it out of this alive. They had to. Shane put his arm around Claire, Michael moved over closer and pulled Eve up in his lap. And they all sat there in silence until Oliver came over. "Amelie wants to see all of you immediately." And with that They all stood up and followed Oliver out the door.

They walked down the hall to a smaller office two doors down. Claire walked in and noticed Myrnin and Hannah standing on either side of Amelie. She then realized that this was going to be a strategy meeting. Once they were all in the office, Oliver closed the door and stood in front of it like they might try to escape or make a run for it. Claire turned her attention to Amelie who was holding the book about the Angels.

"We have much to discuss and very little time to do it, so lets get started. Hannah do you have any news on where the angels are?" Hannah pulled out a map of the town and layed it on the desk in front of Amelie

"Well not really since they move so fast, but we did catch one by Founder's Square. We have guards watching him but we know there are a lot more of them out there. And if everything in that book of yours is true any statue could be one of them. Right now were taking any statue we can find to the old Daylighter's place where guards will be keeping a watch on them."

Amelie turned to Myrnin, "Did You find anything that kills them?"

Myrnin frowned, "Only something that will freeze them, if two angels look at each other they get stuck in some kind of lock and can't move until you take one away, however it seems the Angel's know this as well and cover their eyes whenever they get too close to each other, so it's unlikely that we can trap them like so."

Amelie turned to look at Claire. "It seems the Angels want you since you've had many encounters with them, but they are starting to realize how many vampires are in this town and attacking the weakest and youngest. They feed off of the years that person would live, and since vampires can live for thousands of years, the Angels are getting very powerful. And we have no weapon to defeat them. Any ideas are open for discussion." Claire noticed everyone was staring at her. Waiting for her to come up with a plan, but she didn't have any.

She looked over at Myrnin, "Well, you and Oliver pulled off the Cherub's arm."

Myrnin looked up from the book he was reading. "Yes, it was a baby and took a lot of strength."

Claire looked back at Oliver who nodded and added. "And not to mention it almost killed you before we got there. So unless we send every human with two vampires who never leave their side, it's not much to go on."

Claire looked back over at Amelie. "Well then I guess the only thing I can suggest is to catch them have a bulldozer kill them."

Amelie looked down at the map when someone started banging on the door, Oliver turned and cracked the door open. "This better be important."

The man outside replied "It is sir. There's a group of Angels that got inside, they killed the guards, we don't know where they are but they were heading up towards us." Oliver looked back over his shoulder at Amelie when the lights started flickering Claire grabbed Shane's hand, knowing what was coming next. Amelie turned to Hannah.

"Go downstairs and protect everyone, make sure they are all safe and none of them try to leave."

Hannah picked up the walkie talkie on her belt. "Calling in lock down, I want everyone downstairs in the basement ASAP." With that, she ran past Oliver and out the door.

Amelie looked over at Oliver. "You and me will check the building see if we can find any we can break. Myrnin take Claire and Eve up to the 4th floor and wait for more orders." Michael and Shane both started to protest but Amelie cut them off. "We need you two downstairs helping keep people inside. Myrnin will take good care of both of them."

Myrnin stepped up. "Don't I always?"

Shane stared at Myrnin. "You better or..."

Myrnin put his book in his jacket." Yes yes, if something happens you'll both kill me, though I don't see how you could, never the less, the girls will be quite safe." Eve pulled Michael into a hug which then turned into a kiss.

Claire was watching when Shane tapped her on the nose, "Why do you always enjoy watching them make out?"

Claire's cheeks blushed, "I do not!"

Shane rolled his eyes, "Uhuh sure." Then his face became serious, "Be careful out there, don't let them get close to you." Claire wrapped her arms around Shane's waist. "Trust me, if there's one thing I learned it's don't get too close to a statue, and you better be careful too." Shane leaned down and Kissed Claire a slow sweet kiss before Myrnin interrupted them.

"Right, well I believe the lights are about to go out and since none of you humans can see in the dark I suggest we move things along." Claire pulled back from Shane and noticed Amelie and Oliver had already left.

Eve and Michael had stopped kissing as well and Eve looked over at Shane. "You better take care of each other, or me and Claire will kill you both."

Shane walked over to Michael. "Same goes for you too." Myrnin grabbed Eve and Claire's arms and pulled them out of the door and down the hall. "I swear you humans could say goodbye for hours." Claire jogged to keep pace with Myrnin as they started climbing up a flight of stairs. They reached the top just as the lights went off and everything became pitch black. Myrnin grabbed their arms tighter and kept speed walking through the rooms, when they heard Amelie scream. Myrnin jerked towards the way it came and started heading down that direction but then remembered he had Claire and Eve.

He quickly picked them both up and threw them over his shoulder before running the opposite direction at full vampire speed. When he stopped, he put them both down on the floor of what must have been some sort attic. He turned to Claire. "I have to go make sure Amelie's alright. I'll be right back. Don't leave this room, and keep your eyes on the door. It's the only entrance." And with that he disappeared out the door.

Claire looked over at Eve who rolled her eyes. "Some protector he is."

Claire sighed, "He does that a lot." They went over and sat against the wall watching the door, waiting for him to return. Claire hoped Amelie was alright, But she wished Myrnin would hurry back. Eve started to say something but then gasped. Claire turned to look just as an Angel grabbed Eve's wrist and she disappeared. Claire screamed her name but it was too late. She was gone. Claire remembered what the Angel said about taking people back in time, Claire had to get her back, which meant letting the Angel take her. She quickly looked around the old room and found a desk with a pencil and a notepad. She quickly wrote down a note for Myrnin. - Angel took Eve, I'm going after her, tell the boys we love them and don't let them come after us. -Claire. She placed it on the floor in front of the door and then walked up to the Angel and blinked. There was a flash of light and then she found herself in front of an old hotel.
