It does make me furious that my beloved has been right in our own home this entire time. Now I cannot blame the boys for it, but the fact that Elloise shall be so bold just shows her nasty ways of playing one for a fool. I shall get very much pleasure from bringing her down. But before her, there shall be Lucius.

Now how big Lucius will be is rather debatable, but we will assume that he will be like any other nine-month baby. So I shall be faced with the vision of a child in front of me when I need to decide if I kill the evil. Which does trouble me some bit.

As for the demons that are most definitely roaming my house, well, we have the rest of us bunch that shall make good of it. But, what is troubling, is the skies and, do I even dare to say, the sidewalks as we drive by.

It seems that people with viable vessels have been taken over. Now I have no idea how these things will be taken, or removed, or what you call it, but how will they leave these humans that they have possessed. It has indeed become a complete mess. I guess Lucius has, after all, get what he wanted, well, almost. He still needs to be born.

And this means that my beloved might have to die.

We still don't know how we are going to kill Lucius without killing Anastasia.

The thought has been there that we will let him be born and then keep him until he has become an age that we all will feel comfortable with taking. But the only problem then being is that his demon soldiers will keep on coming back. And I, for one, do not feel like babysitting the Kind of the Underworld.

So once again, my question, "Morgana, any new idea on how to save Anastasia."

"Sebastian, the only one that can be considered is letting Lucius be born and then save Anastasia."

Then Connor adds, "Staking Anastasia to kill Lucius is not an option. You cannot bring a Vampire back that has been staked"

"Dear Connor, never say never. I never thought my beloved would carry the King of the Underworld. I was so hoping that it was our child."

"As I told you, Sebastian," Connor reminds me. "Vampires cannot have children. Lucius is a being on his own."

"Yes, but how did he get in there in the first place."

Then for one of the very first times, I hear Lilith speak, "I believe that it might have been Stefan. They have spent a lot of time together lately. Elloise could have easily told him how to do the spell. Perhaps I should have kept a better eye on the boy."

"My dear Lilith, do not for one blame yourself. We did not know that the boy was possessed by his own father." I stop for a few moments before I continue. "Now that sounds rather disturbing."

"Whichever way," Ethan says, "We have a shit load of demons to fight, and they seem to be growing by the minute. We need to get that hole closed before we even think of starting to run around and swing daggers."

But then Bobby adds, "Let us not forget about the Pentagram that our dear Vampire has in his basement."

I only but chuckle at him even though it is truly uncalled for. Now I never knew that such a thing would be a problem. Well, I guess I can be relieved to say that we are soon back in our original home, so we need not to worry about this nonsense.

But nonsense is not the life of my beloved. I cannot even begin to think about what she is going through. She must be so terrified with what she is experiencing. I think, in fact, I know that I have not had the time to sit back and reflect on the sadness that I feel that we are not going to be parents. It is a big blow to the heart.

Then, I can say in another breath that perhaps our lives, the things that we do, things like this, are not made for children. But I would have still wanted to become a father.

But, my only concern now is saving Anastasia.

So as we turn the corner that leads the road to our house, I hear Bobby speak.

"Balls."

Well, as I look up, I wish that I, in fact, just stayed with my head down. It looks like there is a festival in my street. Yet, it is not the kind of festival that one would wish to go to, for these goers are a bunch of flesh-eating demons waiting for people just like us.

"Now, what do we do? This will take us forever to get through."

"Sebastian," Connor starts to speak as he slowly turns the car around. "Is there a back entrance?"

"Yes, there is a tunnel."

"Wait," he says. "Let us guess. It leads into the basement?"

"Yes, it does."

"Well, that is just fan-fucking-tastic. We don't know how many of them are down there."

"Now," I say. "I believe that there is far less space down there than up here. But then there is the problem with the pentagram."

"Now, thank you for reminding us on that one," Bobby says as he slaps me against the head. I am getting the idea that he seriously dislikes the fact that I have a pentagram in my basement.

Well, that is done; now we just have to get a way past all these demons and get to Anastasia, but I hope as well that the other portal has not been opened, for it shall suck everything in that is not from there originally.

Such a lovely mess this is.

But I think I have an idea.

"Edward, how fast do you think you can get the Vampire army together?"

"One phone call, Sebastian. They are always on standby."

"Connor, Bobby, how would you feel if we get the help of our army together?"

I watch as Bobby gets a rather wicked smile on his face, and I know exactly what he is thinking.

"No, Bobby, you cannot kill them afterward."

I see as Connor only, but bursts out in laughter, and soon Ethan joins in. Well, these boys are scaring me, but I think that we have not other option. We won't be in time to kill a bunch of demons and save Anastasia.

"Edward, please will you phone and let them meet us at the entrance of the tunnel. I think to get our dear little Vampire Hunter involved. He can lead one half and you the other."

"I shall do it immediately."

With that, Edward gets on the phone and gets the instructions through. Much to my surprise, the boys have no further problem with this, for they know that we are seriously outnumbered. Our focus is on Anastasia and Lucius.

So here we go again; this seems like a good case of déjà vu.

In fact, we have been exactly here before, perhaps more feet on the ground, but yet the same problem. Lucius.

It only takes us about another twenty minutes, and we find ourselves at the entrance of the tunnel that is securely hidden between a great number of trees and brush and, of course, a spell that makes it appear invisible. The chances that the demons no of the entrance or slim to none, but if they have found the opening on the other side, well, that is still debatable.

We are walking into trouble no matter which way we go.

Only another ten minutes and the Vampire Army is all in full force and soon joined by a very bewildered and scared Vampire Hunter. What intimidates him the most, the army or the demons, that story is yet to be told. But I am leaning towards the demons. Now leading an army, I am sure the boy is going to enjoy that.

"My dear, Zachariah. Thank you for agreeing to do such a crazy thing."

"Well, you can be glad I don't rip your head off for not telling me earlier that Anastasia is in trouble."

"We thought the dear girl was pregnant, well with a human or Vampire, not a demon."

"Now, there is a reassuring thought; I hope you know how to save her."

Now, for that, I do not have an answer, but yet we all remain quiet, hoping that we do.

So Edward goes ahead and splits the army up into two groups. One that path the way for us in the tunnel and another that shall take the masses on that has gathered in the front. Edward shall go with these in the front, and our Vampire Hunter will lead the group that shall go ahead of us.

We all arm ourselves and not need to, but still somewhat appreciated; Connor looks over his shoulder and smiles at us all.

"Let us go get some demon ass."
