Update! Thanks for all of you who have commented so far… hopefully get some more for this chapter. This is when the story gets more in-depth, so get ready because it's Morganville and every turn is a hair-pin one!

Amelie's pov

I welcome them to my town. I let them leave; give them the courtesy of forgetting the horror that lies in these boundaries. But then those who return have normally turned against us. They normally fight us… instead of never coming back. And again we have the same emergency but this time it's timed. Timed with another 'drama'. In my day I'd ride to battle on the back of a royal horse; that was when you fought a war through blood and honesty. Now…well its stealth and mostly disloyalty.

I turn once more to the mortal. Four outcasts. Those who are the largest and most rebelling my town holds. Michael –one of my blood children- he is the newest, youngest… most vulnerable. Then the human girl he is tied too, before vampirism he was loved as a part ghost by a girl most fitting- she again rebels not just me but her family. But the two who hold everything together are who worry me the most. The brains- a girl who shouldn't know Morganville but has saved it time after time. Has excelled in saving my kind from extinction. Has brought back sanity when all has been lost. She is the gem I hold in my pocket- a secret weapon. Her boy… just the same but instead of brains he is muscle- the power. His protection for her is that of my security or even more. She loves him; just as he loves her they are inseparable. And that's the four who may cause the most trouble; but have saved Morganville time after time, this is no different.

I've summand them to my office. To know everything. I don't know whether they will give freely but if they do… I'll reward them. Morganville was an experiment. A live experiment. Only lasting till I knew fully, long gone has the times when I thought of stopping. Where would they go? What would happen to my kind? Some believe they are trapped; those now in Blacke are living proof that I am a fair leader. Morganville is the final refuge. Blacke isn't safe, the boundaries not as secure. Morganville was a lab, Myrnin's live lab. He brought Ada to life three hundred years ago, adding more and more to her. Though Ada did fail. She was contaminated trying to destroy Morganville; she protected the boundaries.

Two quick knocks interrupt my internal babble here they are. The four who have became saviours.
