This will be taking place the next day. I want to thank the two or three people following me. This chapter will be for you all.
The sun set on the Nyugati train station in the north western corner of Pest. Amelia's jet-black passenger train chugged in, pulled by a vintage 1930s locomotive, impeccably maintained. Unlike usual there wasn't a row of black limousines parked beside a glassed-in platform that been expressely cleared of humankind. There was no escort from the Hungarian coven. Amelia looked out of the polarized window with imperious green eyes to make sure there was no sign of danger outside, she listened intently. Accompanying Amelia were her four year old fraternal twin girls. One of the girls had long cascading black hair the color split ink, emerald green almond shape eyes, and a natural soft pink lip color, her name is Alana. The other girl matched her sisters beauty, but with a waterfall of long fiery red hair, her name was Farrah. Both twins looked similar to their mother, who was now grabbing holding of their hands.
"Mother, were is our transportation?" Farrah asked.
"I will have to make the phone call darling. I wanted to wait until the last minute, we wouldn't want someone finding out while we were on the train, that would have given someone enough time to plot against us. Remember is very unusual for an Elder like myself to show up this early."
"Oh, then why are we showing up this early?" Alana inquired.
Amelia inhaled " well there are certain things mother has to take care of. It's nothing you two have to worry about, so just enjoy being young while you still have the chance.
"Mo-"
"Ssshhh now sweetheart i'm making the phone call now."
Amelia dialed a phone number and shocked a death dealer out of her thoughts. Startled Selene frantically looked for the phone which seemed no where insight when she knew for a fact she just had it. "Goddamn it! Where is that fucking thing! Finally!" Selene said retrieving her buzzing phone. "Hello who is this!"
"Hello, Selene it's Amelia i'm at the train station."
"Alright i'm on my way."
"Remember what I told you no one can know so be very discreet."
"Okay I will."
"And Selene it's probably best you don't scream into a phone when you first pick up."
"Noted."
Selene's curiosity hit an all time high at the Elder's early arrival. Again her thoughts were interrupted by a less unwelcomed voice. 'Oh great, Kraven, what the hell does he want'?" Hi, beautiful where are you headed tonight?" ' Why did I even ask myself that when I already knew the answer?' Selene thought. "None of your business Kraven i'm just heading out for some fresh air." Kraven's jaw twitched a bit, but ignored Selene's unkind remark. 'What else is knew' he thought. "Why don't I head out with you, and we can enjoy this lovely night together?" Selene scoffed "As if that would be even remotely pleasant. Why don't you go find your little puppy Erika? I'm sure would be ecstatic about the thought of being alone with someone like you!" With that she pushed pass him sped her pace up until she reached her car. Selene immediately drove off more aggravated than she had already been.
'Where is that girl? I will like to get my babies somewhere safe' Amelia mused. Just then an expensive sleek jaguar pulled up holding a quizzical passenger.
"Is that our ride mother?" Alana asked. Amelia nodded to her child.
"Well it's about time, I thought I was going to die out here." Farrah murmured. Amelia looked down out her in shock and swatted her bottom twice, but regret gleamed in her eye when Farrah turned away and pouted. 'Why is mothering so hard?' Amelia questioned herself.
"Lady Amelia and..." Selene lifted her brow.
"These are my daughters Alana and Farrah."
"I didn't realize you had daughters, but it's nice to meet you both anyway. Are these two the reason why you came here so early? I don't think anyone back at this coven new you had...given birth."
"Really? I would have thought the news spread as soon as I was walking around with an enormous bump under my clothes. Although they are a shock they are not the reason i'm here."
"Then why are you?" Selene said with a little more fierceness than she intended to. Amelia glowered at her, pearly white fangs elongated, and her emerald eyes suddenly turned electric green. The twin girls frightened at their mother's sudden change in demeanor took a step back.
"Forgive me milady, the last couple of days have been trying. I'm just a bit tense about..."
"Forget it, let us go home it is best to explain why I have arrived at this time in front of Viktor and Marcus." Selene surprise about the elders words look up.
"You plan to awaken them... both?"
"Yes, now please let's get move on, one of my girls has informed me that she's afraid she will die out here." Selene smirked at the little girl that swiftly looked up at the sky, poking her lip out, and twiddling her fingers.
After all bags were in the car the twins sat in the back and Amelia and Selene in the front. The drive back to the coven was practically silent except for Alana and Farrah chattering about whose dolls were better, getting into hair fights, and Amelia yelling at them to be quiet.
Selene finally pulled into the garage. Oddly to Selene's pleasure Kraven was standing at the door. She couldn't wait until he saw Amelia step out of the car. '1,2,3...'
"Lady Amelia." Selene smiled.
"Yes Kraven."
"I didn't realize that you were coming...I I?"
"Calm yourself, Kraven." Amelia said lifting her right hand, and with her left hand she called her two small daughters out of the car. "My daughters and I will be needing prepared rooms,the girls will be sharing a room. You will also be preparing rooms for the rest of the council. Oh and don't forget to get our bags out of the car."
Amelia moved him out of the way letting the little girls pass. Selene shoved passed him with smug grin on her face.
'I didn't even realize she had children.'
As Amelia strolled through the grand hall she held a superior elegance above all else. Her hair was wrapped neatly in and intricate bun held by a dazzling barrette, a form fitting dark red dress with glittering jewels gracing her waist, and a simple shimmering necklace. With her head held high she glided passed the awed onlookers, some whom failed to realize they were not bowing to the dominant vampire elder. Amelia walked into a darkly lit and cavernous crypt, located in the slowly beating heart of Ordoghaz. Polished granite steps led down into a sunken area. At the center of this lower tier, housed within a concentric pattern of interwoven Celtic circles, were three shining bronze hatches embedded in the floor. Each circular had been ornately engraved with a single letter. A for Amelia, M for Marcus, V Viktor.
'I better awaken Marcus first, so I won't technically be breaking the chain.' Amelia mused humorously.
The latched creaked under Amelia's powerful grip. A series clicks and clanks sounded beneath her feet. Meanwhile, Marcus's coffin was rising Amelia walked over to Viktor's latch and turned it. Closing her eyes Amelia concentrated on the pass two centuries for Marcus and the pass century for Viktor. Leaving Marcus and Viktor alone with equipment she walked to the bottommost floor to the rear of the crypt, where a sealed plexiglass chamber lurked just beyond the subdued halogen lighting over the Elder's tombs. A pair of rectangular marble pillars framed the entrance to the sealed compartment, whose sterile, futuristic design contrasted sharply with the somber medieval majesty of the ancient crypt.
This was the recovery chamber, Amelia went into the recovery unit and flicked on the lights. Two wheeled metal gurneys occupied the center of the room, surrounded by antiseptic chrome counters and sophisticated diagnostic monitors. A complicated array of plastic tubing dangled from the ceiling like a bizarre bio-medical chandelier. She prepped both of the gurneys, and walked back over to the coffins, pulling each one by one to the gurneys. She lied both partial decayed bodies on the metal surface then attached the tubing. Crimson blood flowed to both elder's bodies rejuvenating their skin slowly. Two sets of blue eyes flickered open.
"Hello boys."
