Alexander opens the door and pulls my mum in for a hug, I stand there and roll my eyes at the sight. Alexander is one of the most powerful vampires that exist. He is literally head over heels for my mum. She's so oblivious to it, it's quite funny. They pull away and he gives me a smile and I return the gesture before he lets us into the room. My eyes search around the room, it's filled with a bunch of dickheads in suits. I make my way over to the couch and sit down, some of the guys start staring at me but I ignore the stares. Thankfully Theo is not here.

"Ok everyone, I have called you all here to discuss the game plan." Alexander begins.

"We have to discuss all the tactics, we need to be prepared for anything and everything." He explains and I roll my eyes. He seems to notice and he turns his attention on to me.

"Harry? Is something wrong?" He asks, I sigh and shrug.

"Spit it out." He demands, I laugh. I can't take him seriously, I've known this guy for too long. He's basically family.

"Don't laugh at me you dick." He chuckles.

I sigh, "I just think you should stop treating this war as some sort of game. People's lives are at stake. We don't know when it will start and how big it's going to be but we need to work together. We need to look after one another, we need to fight as one." I explain and everyone claps. Alexander furrows his eyebrows and nods.

"And how do you suggest we do this?" He asks, everyone turns to look at me.

I think for a second, "We need to get weapons, everyone must be able to use them." I pause, "We need to train, we have to be stronger than ever before. We have to prepare for the worst."

Alexander looks at me and then to the floor, he rubs his chin with his hand, "Ok." He walks around the room in a circle, "Devon, take your men and go down town, buy as many weapons as you can. Stock up on everything and I mean everything." He says and Devon nods before walking out of the room.

"I want everyone to meet me at the centre to train, five times a week. Tell everyone." He says and everyone nods.

"Meeting dismissed." He says and everyone leaves the room. Once the room is cleared, Alexander walks to his study and slams the door behind him. My mum looks over to me and gives me a confused look, I shrug and stand up to go to his office.

"Harry." My mum says and I turn to look at her.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to go in there, he might get even more angry." She warns.

"I'm not scared of him." I admit and she frowns.

"I understand Harry but..."

"I'm going in there, I will kick his ass if I have to." I chuckle and she sighs. I walk over to the door and open it without knocking.

He's standing at the back of the room, staring out the window, "Alex?" I say and he turns around.

His eyes are glossy, has he been crying?

"Yes." He answers. I turn to close the door and then walk over to his desk and sit down on it.

"What's wrong?" I ask him and he stays silent.

"Look, I know you're a powerful vampire and blah blah blah... But you can still express your feelings." I say and he shakes his head.

"No. That's the thing, I can't. I'm suppose to protect everyone but I don't even know what to do myself. You know how to prepare for this war more than I do!" He shouts in frustration.

"Stop stressing! You have done such a good job at protecting everyone, what's the difference?" I ask.

"The difference is, this war is going to be colossal. It's going to be one of the biggest down worlder wars ever!" He shouts.

"I understand that! But you won't get anywhere if you start thinking badly of yourself. You need to believe in yourself. I believe in you." I say.

"That's not enough!" He throws his arms in the air.

I stay silent, I don't know what to say.

He sighs, "I'm sorry." He apologises.

"Don't be sorry." I say, he doesn't need to be sorry. I understand why he is so frustrated, I would be too in that situation.

"Will you help me?" He asks and my eyes widen.

"What?" I ask in shock.

"Will you help me with the preparations for war? I need someone like you, people listen to you, they respect you." He says.

"They listen and respect you too."

"I know that, but I need you Harry. Please?" He begs and I sigh.

"Fine. But I won't be here all the time." I say.

"Thank you but may I ask why you cannot be here all the time?" He asks.

Well, the girl I'm in love with needs protecting and I would die if anything ever happened to her. I can't protect her if I'm not with her so that is why I can't be here all the time.

"I just can't." I say and he nods.

"Ok, thank you again, I really appreciate it Harry. See you soon?" He asks.

I nod, "See you soon." I say and make my way out of the room. I see my mum on the couch with her head leaning on her hand.

Her eyes widen when she sees me and she runs over to me, "He didn't get too angry, did he?" She asks and I shake my head.

"No, he asked if I could help him and I said I can." I say and her eyes widen even more.

"You can't. It's not safe, I need you with me so I can protect you."

"Mum, it's ok. You can come with me when I go. But I need to bring Genevieve with me too sometimes. I need to protect her and I can't do that if I'm at the city all the time." I explain and she nods.

"I love seeing how much you care for her. It's so sweet." She smiles.

"I do care for her, a lot." I admit.
