The Blood of the Night (CAMREN)

6

3 days late, I'm so sorry...School's just so busy right now, it's honestly never been that busy for me before.

Also, little heads up: Shawn and Ally are siblings in this.

Anyways, enjoy! :D

"Thank you. For coming with me."

Gustus dipped his head silently, offering the brunette woman a kind smile.

"It is an honor", Artigas replied. "We were chosen to protect the Queen's soulmate, and we will do so with our lives."

As much as Camila was happy for Lauren to see that her subjects were so loyal and proud to follow her orders, she was feeling a bit uncomfortable. She knew she was bringing two of the Queen's most trusted guards into the Ark, a camp full of people whose hostility towards vampires didn't have an equal in the country.

They were standing under cover in front of the building where Camila's whole family and friends lived, the huge black gates standing proudly before them. The human inhaled deeply.

"Stay behind. I don't want you to get hurt."

She didn't wait for an answer as she went straight for the doors, entering the code to get the doors open. It didn't take long, once she had stepped inside, for excited screams to echo around the house.

"Camila!"

"She's back!"

"Someone, go fetch Sinu!"

"Oh my god!"

A smile graced the tanned woman's full lips as she was embraced by Shawn, then by James, Michael, and every one of her friends one by one.

"I missed you guys."

"How did you get out?" Shawn had put his hand on her shoulder, as if he couldn't quite believe she was actually here. "I seriously thought they'd kill you."

That comment opened the bridge of questions, and everyone started talking at the same time.

"Hey, guys, we need to talk, it's impor-"

"Camila!"

A familiar perfume invaded Camila's senses, two arms wrapping themselves around her in a protective manner.

"Are you okay, baby?"

The young woman pulled away to smile reassuringly at her mom. "I'm fine. I don't have much time though, and we need to talk."

"Don't have much time for what? You're leaving?"

The distressed tone in her mother's voice had the brown eyed woman sighing.

"I came to warn you."

She looked into the eyes of everyone in the room, trying to make a point and make sure she was taken seriously.

"I know that our people take pride in being an ancestral people of hunters, and I used to be very proud of being part of it."

"Used to...? Camila. Please, tell me what's happening."

"As the boys who got to come back here probably told you, I've been staying with a pack of vampires for a few weeks now. They are called the Harmony clan , and their leader is the Queen of the whole kingdom, which is made of twelve clans established in different states."
