Selene: If the peace treaty was signed, what's the point of training?

Me: Vampire covens against us. Like Amelia's old world coven. For those who were still there and not with her.

Selene: When was the last time you heard from them?

Michael: Not since the night Amelia and her envoy were killed.

Me: Exactly.


Mom and I trained for three more hours then I took the decapitated lycan dummy to Kahn. "I destroyed this dummy. Sorry. The head needs fixed. I decapitated it."

"Point being?" He asked.

"Frustrated at Nick. He doesn't think we can manage taking care of Prudence and take over as the main leaders of the coven at the same time. He said he needs to talk to Dad and think about my explanation first. I trained with Mom after speaking to him and my frustration got the better of me."

"Ah. I see. Don't worry about it. I'll fix it and put it back." He said taking it from me.

"Thanks, Kahn." I replied with a slight smile.

"No problem."

I walked out and went to check on Prue. I found her still asleep and only half covered. I gently covered her up to her shoulders and went downstairs. I was heading for the den When I heard Dad and Nick talking. I stopped to listen.

"...It's too much, Michael. How could we possibly do both?" Nick asked.

"Selene and I both managed and with two kids. If we can do it, then so can you two. It's not that difficult. All you have to do is keep the coven organized. Keep it from becoming chaos."

"That's what Elizabeth said. Not so much in those words, but still."

"Because she knows it's true. She's a lot like Selene. You know how they think. Trust me, you'll be just fine."

Eve looked over and saw a glimpse of me. "Lizzy!" She shouted giggling.

Dad and Nick looked over as I his. "Liz?" Dad asked.

I cursed under my breath. "Damn it." I said and cautiously walked in. "Hi, Daddy."

"Were you eavesdropping?"

"Just a little. Sorry. I know I shouldn't, but I was coming downstairs and I heard Nick arguing with you. I wanted to hear what he told you. Then I listened to your response. I didn't hear much."

"Lizzy!" Eve said reaching for me.

I walked over and took her from Dad. "Hey, Little Sis." I said and kissed her forehead. I looked to Dad. "Sorry for the eavesdropping."

"It's ok. Just don't do it again."

"I won't. At least not intentionally."

Eve pulled my hair. "Hehe. Lizzy."

She pulled my hair again. "Ow! Eve, that hurts. That's a no no. Bad. It's not nice to pull someone's hair." I said looking at her.

"Eve, apologize to your sister." Dad said.

"Sorry, Lizzy." She said pouting feeling guilty.

"It's ok. Just don't do that anymore." I said calmly.

"Lizzy? Me play with Pue?"

"Prue is sleeping right now, Sweety. Maybe later. Ok?"

"Otay. You play with me?"

"Sure. What do you want to do?"

"Umm... Patty cake."

"Alright. Lets do that in your room." I said taking her there.

"Still not changing your mind?" Nick asked.

I turned my head walking out. "Nope. You know I won't. Sorry, Babe. You're on your own." I said leaving the room.


After playing patty cake with Eve, I put her down for her nap. "Sweet dreams, Eve." I said.

"Nite nite, Lizzy." She said closing her eyes.

I went to find Mom and found her in her quarters. "Hey, Mom." I said knocking.

"Come in, Sweetheart."

I walked in and saw her looking at some old photos. "What you doing?" I asked.

"Just looking at some old photos. Ones of just me and your father from when we first met until the most recent one taken. Is there something you want to talk about?"

"Not really. Can I look with you?" I asked.

"Sure." She said scooting over to make room for me.

I sat down beside her and she put her arm around me. "What's this one from?" I asked pointing.

"That's the picture of me killing Viktor. It's from the security camera."

"Wow. You slit his head in half?"

"Yep. With his own sword too."

"And you saved Daddy in the process."

She giggled. "Yes. I don't know what caused me to love him."
