The New Borns

The Vampire Council

Episode Seven

The room is full of animal heads and black. Its ominous vibe made it the perfect office for Fitzgerald Carter. He sat at his desk and wrote on paper using blood and a fine pointed feather.

Two other vampires and Ibis walked into his office, rolling in two large black caskets. He stands up and smiles.

“I do believe it is time to welcome our guest.” Fitzgerald wiped lint off of his blazer.

They open the coffins and pull the stakes out of Balaroak and Godrick's chests. They wait for awhile, but nothing happened.

“I thought you said they would come back if we pulled the damn wood outta them? ” Ibis was baffled.

“It should have. Maybe we were wrong— perhaps the Corridor boys are indeed dead.” Fitzgerald said.

Then Godrick and Roak both sit up simultaneously and gasp for air.

“Wakey-wakey.” Hummed a voice.

They all wake up to see Alice holding cups  of coffee. She hands one to them and saves one for herself.

“She's pregnant.” Ethan said.

“Fuck you, dick breath.” Alice snapped.

“That's the Alice we know. Why did you buy us coffee? ” Hazel asked.

“Since I'm mortal you all could kill me. Consider it as me kissing ass.” Alice smirked.

Someone knocked on their motel room door. Alice opened it to see Gretchen, Lillith, Asher, and a huge trash bag with Syndrick's body in it.

“Ew, you're carrying him around like a chihuahua.” Alice cringed.

“If you don't shut your mouth, you'll be next— but you won't ever be able to come back.” Lillith foreshadowed.

“So, who's ready to go kill Fitzgerald? ” Asher was eager.

“You're not going, and we are going to offer peace first.” Gretchen said.

“Wait, who exactly is going to go talk to Fitzgerald? ” Ethan asked.

“We can't send any vampires, or humans.” Gretchen said, looking at Alice.

“Trust me, I wasn't going to go anyways.” Alice assured them.

“So Me, Ethan, and Dominik will go.” Gretchen continued.

“Dominik? ” Hazel was confused.

“Long time, no see.” Smiled Dominik as he walked in the room.

Fitzgerald eagerly awaited for the offerers to arrive. He had recieved word that they were in his facility and wished to speak with him.

They walk into his office and in Dominik's hand is the head of a vampire guard. His blood dripped off of him, but Dominik throws it to Fitzgerald as a sick joke.

“Bonjour.” Dominik grinned.

“Mr. Valentino, I see you're no longer imprisoned in stone.” Fitzgerald said, looking disgusted.

“We are here to make an offer with you.” Gretchen firmly said, hiding her fear.

“So I hear. Please, do share with me.” Fitzgerald set his hands in his lap.

“We want Roak and Godrick back, and in return we will spare your life.” Ethan answered.

“Spare my life? ” Fitzgerald laughed.

“Did the boy stutter? Yes, spare your life.” Dominik said.

“From what? ” Fitzgerald was confused.

“If we don't get them back, you and your followers will die. Consider this as us declaring war.” Gretchen clarified.

“You are challenging me and my two hundred fellow vampires? ” Fitzgerald questioned.

“Basically.” Ethan said in a hushed tone.

“So be it, now get out before I kill you right now.” Fitzgerald warned them.

The others sit in the motel room, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the others. The room was silent though.

The door opens and they all seem to jump up. Gretchen, Ethan, and Dominik walk in with unusual expressions written upon their faces.

“What happened? ” Valeska asked.

“They wanted to take war instead of peace.” Ethan frowned.

“They chose war? ” Alice asked.

They didn't speak, they only nodded their heads in a manner of destined defeat. Hazel, though, cleared her mind.

“Okay, let's fight them.” She stated.

“Are you kidding? We'd lose.” Dominik said.

“Not if we get prepared.” Hazel said.

“What do you mean? ” Valeska asked.

“Every side in war needs a team— let's build one.”
