Hey guys, just want to thank for the support and the comments, they really did help me. Also, for this chapter, the bits in italic are Michaels flash backs of what happened earlier on at the movies . Enjoy :)


Michaels POV

I didn't want to fall to pieces, right here in front of them, and I knew Myrnin could hear every damn breath I took. I couldn't help it but remember...

In true Morganville style, there were only a few people in the actual screen room. Before going in I could sense they were human. I had to take precautions with Eve since we got engaged, and I could take three humans, so could she.

We snuggled up on the seats, her head on my shoulder, and popcorn in her lap. The ads started to roll, encouraging residents to donate blood. Eve shuddered beside me. Claire used to do that. But she needed this, to get away from the house. So did I.

I shook my head. Eve needs me, and we need to sort out a plan. I tried to stand but wounds made me to tumble right back. If I was older, I would have healed by now, it takes time for younger vamps, I guess that's why they don't like to make new ones.

"We need to sort out a plan, care to join us Mikey boy?" Shane called from the kitchen, obviously not wanting to be alone. I grunted and slid up the wall. I was better, the stake wounds were healing up, and the silver was nearly gone. But there was a bigger wound inside of me that was hurting.

It was halfway through the movie. Eve was looking at the werewolves on the screen and she turned to me.

"Man, they really need to go to a beauty salon" We both laughed, but the three other humans didn't seem to like it, so she just glared at them. That's when the screaming began. Eve couldn't hear it yet, but it was all around us, vibrating off the walls, increasing in frequency. She felt me stiffen at her side, and I just pointed towards the exit. I remember getting up, I remember Eves wide eyes, as someone drove a stake just below my heart.

I stumbled into the kitchen to find Myrnin pacing. He turned to me and handed me more blood. I took it without hesitation and drained it. I felt as it sped up the healing process, travelling through my system, renewing and repairing my tissue.

"Look, those things that took your Shreve, they have been killing vampires for centuries "Myrnin paced again.

"Eve. It's Eve. And really? Centuries? Those..Things, they didn't look like humans at all. Or people..." I remembered as they formed, as they attacked my only reason for existence. I sighed and went back again.

I woke up with a dull ache, my body numb. The movie was still playing and Eve was right in front of me. I tried to stand up but something poked at me. I turned around to notice the humans standing behind me, stakes and silver in hand. I felt my eyes glow red as I positioned myself in front of Eve.

"Why? Can't you just leave us alone? I will kill you if you get in my way "My fangs dropped, and Eve gasped. They weren't the danger, the thing at the entrance was. I couldn't explain it. It was a walking body of water, and it was heading towards us. It seemed to gloat at us, at the easy prey, dismissing the humans.

"Ah, the youngest of Amelies bloodline, you will come in useful" It strode towards us, and I couldn't escape, something was holding me in place. Stakes. Several of them, fixing me in place. Eve screamed behind me and I screamed for her to go. She will survive. She has to.

The humans backed away, just pawns, as it advanced. I hissed, loudly, and tried to attract its attention so Eve could leave. She didn't. It was like one of those slow motion nightmares, ones where you are never fast enough, where it doesn't matter how loud you shout, they don't hear you. That's what it felt like. The thing rolled over the humans, and they just disappeared, melted and became a part of the creature.

"Eve! Go, leave me! Just go!" I screamed more in agony than pain. She tried to yank the stakes out but, they were too deep and there was no time as the centre of attention got dragged to the creature.

"No. I don't care what happens, we stick together" she stuck out her chin, tears streaming down her face. This new danger was deadly, and Eve had no chance. More started to appear at the doorway, and my hope diminished. She tried throw silver at the thing, but it was too quick. There was no escape. The pain was unbearable and I sank to my knees. The thing just laughed and slithered closer as Eve held my hand.

"We will have fun, as much as I had killing the only threat to me in her own home. What was her name?" He seemed to gloat and looked directly at us. Then I knew. Claire. He killed Claire.

"You-You-"Eve stopped talking and looked down in panic. Something started to pool at her feet, soaking through my jeans. It was like tiny bites, tiny scalpels tearing at me. I looked up, not giving him the satisfaction of watching us in pain. I squeezed her hand and shot a hopeful smile.

"I love you "I whispered. She seemed to cry even more, and squeezed back. The thing just scoffed at us and came even closer, surrounded by its followers.

"Well, this is interesting, tell you what, I'll take her and you bring Amelie to me. Or she'll end up worse than Claire" He seemed to be confident as one of his minions advanced towards Eve. I growled, and slashed at the thing, putting my energy in it. It was no use, it just attached to me, taking more blood, but not enough to kill. Eve screamed and tried to drag the thing off, but it was hurting her too.

"Il just do this myself, then" He just picked her up, thrashing and screaming, and a final command followed.

"Leave him outside, Amelie or the sun will find him."

And Amelie found me, took out the stakes, but tied me up, since all I wanted to do was run and look for her. I mulled this over as Shane looked at me.

"You okay man?" he knew it was a stupid question. I shook my head and looked at Myrnin.

"That thing, the leader, he wants Amelie, and I don't care but I'm going-"

"No! He will not take our queen that is our final hope, you hear me?" Myrnin growled. I didn't have the energy to fight back or change his opinion.

"Look, it already killed people, they have to act, or do something." Shane looked hopeful as he glared at Myrnin. He just returned the same look, but crazier and with teeth.

"Perhaps, but you will have to tell me everything" This time, he was looking at me.
