"You must have gone mad!" The queen shouted as her palm landed on the wooden table. With just a simple movement the old wood snapped in two, making it shatter right before their shocked eyes. 

Ash had seen these people enough times already. Kai with Philip, Lun and Xan, Soran, John and the king. Olivia and lastly the queen. He wasn't easily scared, he didn't shiver or stutter in front of his enemies but this woman, this vampire before him somehow always made the hairs in the back of his neck rise. 

They had all gathered in one of the many meeting rooms that hid deep inside the palace. The queen sat at the head of the table, the tall king, behind her, his palm lazily resting at the top of her velvet chair. It wasn't as hard as he thought to get a meeting with them. Olivia had made it sound impossible but the moment he uttered the princess' name everyone gathered like moths to the light.
