Amelies POV

It seemed all my harsh words reached Michael, as he looks at the ground as if its about to swallow him up. How he could have been so ignorant of the draug particle escapes me, having vampire sight he should have spotted it a long time ago, but maybe he was too close to the problem, too close to deal with the reality. Possibly.
I knew this all along, when I told Theo about it, and well...I had to do something, such information cannot leave unwanted, giving the draug an advantage, or anyone else an unnecessary shock. Seemingly as I took care of that little threat, I have a bigger problem. The children know of what happened, how I let Magnus live, I cannot take care of them the same way as Theo, , maybe I could use their knowledge to my advantage. I seem to be good at that
little Claire and Shane were looking at me like I was a villain. Let them. They have to learn their place, let them feel helpless against the draug, as we had, over centuries. Michael was shaking, unable to accept the truth.
"What now?" Myrnin asked. He seemed to be the only one willing to break the awkward silence, the silence that allowed me to think this over.
"We have the meeting, alert everyone else and count our numbers. If we're lucky, we won't have many vampires missing." I spoke clearly, letting my cold eyes pass over everyone present, to let my words sink in. I hoped that there weren't too many missing, and I knew for a fact that Oliver hasn't turned up for work for the past 3 days. I may need him to keep a calm over people, may seem stupid, but a war general helps in these situations, since he would give the people a menacing presence, distracting them from the real danger. But we both knew if we were to fall under the draug...there would be no rescue or great heroic attempt. They always win, as hard as it is to accept that, they always end up dragging the rescuers to the bottom of their pools, something I should know all about.
"What about the humans?" Shane wondered. Of course he would be interested in the humans, not mentioning the human resistance that lay underground. They think they can escape under the radar...but as founder, I have connections to the buildings around town, and of course, the human resistance headquarters.
"They will be alerted as soon as a plan of action will be decided" satisfied with that answer, Shane hugged Claire close, that back in my days, would seem improper.
I gave the humans a moment, for all of this to sink in, since they are slower than us. But I didn't notice the manic gleam coming from Michaels eyes, not the smile that could be mistaken for Myrnins. It wasn't until I could hear his mumbles did I realise what he was about to do.
Michaels POV
A life without eve. I couldn't bare it. She was the only thing that made being a vampire worth it. I couldn't protect her or care for her as a ghost, that's the only reason I did it. For Eve. I thought of all the times people told us to give up, this suicidal love that didn't work for anyone else. But it worked for us.
And even a single thought of not being with her, not having a chance to save her seemed to open a crater beneath my feet and swallow me into what would be my world without her. I may be delusional, a love sick fool as Amelie called me once, but I couldn't give up, to let her turn into those things that she hated so much. I can remember the panic in her eyes as they attacked us in the cinemas. I couldn't let her turn into those things...but how would a human turn into a draug? Wouldn't they...
"Vampire? She's gonna be a..." I mumbled, just enough for me to hear. Sure, we talked about it, to wait a few years at least, but in a life and death situation... I couldn't. I couldn't let her go so far. I had to find her and I knew exactly how. Sure, it would hurt me, make me want to tear myself apart from the inside...But it would be worth it. A manic gleam appeared in my eye, and my lips curled into a smile Myrnin would be proud of.
"I have to find her" a louder mumble escaped my lips, and I saw Amelies face, going from confusion to horror in a millisecond.
I opened the vial and let it fall on my lips, taking a deep breath of calm before plaguing my body with draug. As I was about to chug the blood, Myrnin grabbed the sample and danced out of the way. He seemed to hiss at me, to give me a dirty look which undoubtedly be due to my actions looking stupid to him. He always has some ulterior plan.
"Stupid fool! You can't do that!" Myrnin scolded me like one of his machines gone wrong. But he didn't understand did he? He couldn't.
"I need to find her, to save her." I said to no one in particular. Amelie watched me with her ancient eyes, as Shane broke the silence.
"We need a plan, man. I know you love her, but so do we. We want to help." He moved away from Claire and placed his hand on my shoulder, being there for me.
I know we need a plan, and I had the perfect one. If they weren't going to help me, I needed to create an environment that would give no choice to Amelie but to strike. I guess I could say this game is about to turn deadly as Amelie continued to glare at me, whilst Myrnin looked over the sample.

She isn't the only one who knows about the human resistance.

I know this chapter isn't that long, but i didn't have time this morning. It was either this or no chappie...Hope you enjoyed it and tell me what you think about Michaels decision!Love you :) xx
