-----------------------------------------------------------

The dining room was dimly lit, the only light coming into the room was the moonlight coming from the large window behind me and the lamp in the back corner of the room.

Everyone slowly filed in. Trevor, Alice and Ethan. After around 10 more minutes of waiting Max and Casey joined. What the fûck were they doing?

"I see you took your sweet time" I spat, shooting daggers into their eyes.

"We're sorry, Max was helping me train a little on my shapeshifting" Casey quickly peeped out, obviously afraid of my imminent reaction.

"Okay, let's begin." I sat down at the head of the table as everyone took their respective seats. To my left Ethan, Trevor and Casey and to my right Max and Alice.

"Tonight at Eclipse I had a run in with another vampire" I started, everyone's body posture suddenly becoming hostile. Since I refused to tell Ethan and the others what had happened on the way back, I'm sure they were surprised by my calm manner to such a dire situation.

Ethan was about to speak but I raised my hand to stop him. "Let me finish, it was a girl, she had been there when I was feeding and clearly knows who we were, she knew my name, and who Christian was. She recorded me feeding, but my face was never shown thankfully." I finished the basis of the story before moving onto the bad news "she told me she was working with others, and that they work for Katarina. She has gifts, I only knew one, we were equally matched." I spoke in a grim tone.

Everyone's faces were blank, probably trying to process the new threat. Max was the first to speak "how did she get away?" Max questioned carefully.

"I don't really know, she was about to threaten me but then Ethan walked in and I turned around and she had disappeared. No trace to where she went" I replied still puzzled on her escape.

"Maybe she had a teleportation gift?" Trevor spoke up, assisting in the discussion.

"There was nothing left behind once she left?" Max questioned looking suddenly intrigued.

"No..." I answered before thinking back, wait! "Wait yes she left behind some kind of dust" I rushed out. Hopefully it's a lead.

"Morte Ao Sangue" Max muttered quietly, I could only barely hear it.

"What's wrong? Whats Morte Ao Sangue?" Alice questioned, she probably heard it clearer than me since she was next to him.

"It's... Nothing" Max quickly clapped back.

"No, you know something, what is it?" Trevor ordered, his voice was deeper than normal. What's max hiding?

"I said its nothing" Max replied defiantly.

"Max if you know something it is your obligation as a part of this team to tell us." I said, trying to communicate my desperation in my voice. Max's face changed from blank to one of sorrow, Yes! I got through to him.

"The Morte Ao Sangue " Max started out. "They're a highly-trained vampire assassin group, the best of the best. After the war began they seemed to disappear. I thought they quit but I guess they were just in hiding." He finished, a grimace painted over his face.
