action.
    The room definitely wasn't peaceful anymore.
    "No!" Sean suddenly yelled.
    Nathaniel stood and went to him touching his arm. Sean pulled away from him.
    "N o, he is not taking her," Sean said.
    "He didn't say anything about taking Rebecca, Sean. We need to a ll sit down and talk about this," Nathaniel said.
    "Actually..., "
    They all turned to look at me and no one looked happy. Even Stephen looked grim. Oh well, I did not care what they thought. I just wanted Rebecca.
    "We do need to take her back with us."
    Next thing I knew the room erupted into a catastrophe of sound. Yelling and cursing filled the room to the point that I wanted to cover my ears. It was almost painful. The red head was calling me names I couldn't even comprehend. Something to do with a pig headed jackass I thought I heard. Sean looked like he was trying to bust out of Nathaniel's hold, his eyes set on me.
    The other guards in the room were howling and cursing, yelling things like " You can't have her" and "Go to hell." Their side of the room was not the only ones making a fuss. Stephen was yelling in my ear, "What the hell are you thinking?" Bruce and Derek were echoing him. The only calm ones were Christensen and Jessica, but both looked plenty upset.
    I'd had enough. I stood up.
    "Enough!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. When everyone became quiet again I said, "It's our right to question her."
    Before chaos could come back , Nathaniel raised his hand. "First, I want to say that I don't think Rebecca could have murdered anyone and second, it doesn't sound like your Master was such a good man to have threatened you into turning into a vampire. Why do you care who killed him?" The peaceful beach bum wasn't looking so relaxed anymore.
    I was getting pissed. This had to end. "It doesn't matter. All you need to know is that we are taking her back with us for questioning , whether you like it or not."
    "Over my dead body!" Sean shouted.
    I glared at him and nodded. "That can be arranged. Now, you can hand her over or we will take her. Either way she comes with me."
    I turned away and walked out. No one stopped me , but I could hear the commotion start up again as I left. When we got into the limo, Stephen punched me in the arm. I stared daggers at him, but it didn't faze him at all.
    "What the hell man?" He practically shouted.
    I leaned my head back and closed my eyes knowing I was in for it.
    "What were you thinking? Everything was going just fine until you blew it. Why did you have to add the part about questioning Rebecca? They would have let you talk to her if you just said you wanted to catch up or something. Damn man, have you gone nuts?"
    I groaned because I knew he was right . Shit! Maybe I had gone crazy.
    "I know Stephen. I just lost it." I look back at him. "And did you see that Sean dude? Something's up with that?"
    Stephen nodded. "Yeah, I saw, but what are you going to do now? Maybe you could talk to them. Explain everything. Apologize. They might let you get close enough to talk to her then."
    "No, I'm not apologizing. You saw how they were acting. I'm just the newbie Master. If I go in th ere saying how sorry I am they will know I’m just some loser pretending to be this great Master vampire. I am not doing that. I gave them my word. If they don't hand her over, we're going in to get her."
    "Man, you are crazy." Stephen said s haking his head. "You know they won't let you take her without a fight. Are you saying you're willing to start a war just to talk to her?" He asked, disbelief layering his tone.
    I stared straight at him. "Yes, I am. One way or another , I am going to have her next to me again, even if it's just for her to say, 'Go to Hell.’”

    I was lying awake in bed waiting to see if Sean would come by. I was almost certain he would, but it was getting late. I looked at the clock again, only two minutes had passed. It was one o'clock in the morning.
    Part of me was excited with the
