It's four in the morning and I can't sleep. Everyone, but me is asleep. I look over to Lucinda. She looks so peaceful sleeping. I place a hand on her enormous stomach and feel the twins kick. I smile in the dark bed room then slip out of the room. I walk down the stairs and go to the living room. I see Cole asleep on the couch. I turn the tv off and cover him with blanket he must of kicked off him. I walk into the kitchen then abruptly stop. That smell. I know that smell. That smell burns my nose. It's the smell of Death. I turn the light on and see a man sitting at the table. I examine him to see he has bite marks all over him. I smell vampire, death, cologne, but no blood. They sucked him dry. I look to his hands. In his right hand he has a crumpled up note. I open it up to see scribbled on it "Prepare your weapons mutts a war is coming". I have the feeling I'm being watched. I turn around fast, but only to find no one is there. I see the door is open though. I walk over to it to see on the door handle is blood. I run over to Cole and wake him up. "Wake up the guys. Someone broke in." I tell him

Five minutes later and all the guys are in the kitchen looking at possible ways of the leeches could have broken in. "How did they even get in?" Duncan asks us

Cole looks around and sees something we don't. He walks over to the corpse. In his other hand knotted around his fingers is a wad of red hair. "He tried fighting back against it." Johnny assumes

"Her. He tried fighting back against her." Cole says half heartedly

"Her....You mean it was...." Lori whispers not wanting to say the name we're all thinking

"It was Claire. She did this. It's her hand writting. Her hair. She killed this innocent man." Cole says as his eyes start to glow

"Cole...we're so sorry." Stephen says

"I'm....gonna...I'm gonna go. I can't be here. I need to leave...." Cole whispers nervously

He runs out of the house as fast as he can.

Cole's POV

I shift and start running.

Find her.

Find Claire.

Find the girl.

Kill her.

Kill Claire.

Kill the girl.

Rip her heart out. Just like she did to you.

Rip Claire's heart out.

Rip girl's heart out.

Rip it out.

I stop when I smell vampire. I shift back to see Claire. She's covered in blood. "Cole I'm sorry! I had to do it! I had no choice!" She cries to me

"You always have a choice! You choose to betray me! You chose to threaten my family! You chose to side with your brother! Again and again you choose you wrong!" I growl at her

"I chose wrong? I doubt that I chose the winning side. I chose my fate St. Claire. Have you?" She asks me

As soon as she says that I know I've fallen into a trap. I stumble back and run into another vampire. "Boo." The tall built man chuckles

"Fuck."

"You're not going anywhere Mutt." Another vampire promises me

I shift and charge at them. I'll take them all down if I have to.

Mika's POV

I pick up Lucinda and carry her down the stairs. She's crying. "Somethings wrong Mika." She whispers
