Chapter 17

" They killed Aunt Medeline. " Elizabeth eyes' were blazing red.

" I know I know. But we have to go before there are others coming. They had spotted us. " Stefan approached Elizabeth whose body was trembling hard, hand clutched into a fist.

Elizabeth didn't move but instead red aura was starting to form around her. Stefan looked at her as she was no longer looked like Elizabeth Davenport because her face was fierce, full of anger. She didn't look human, she looked like a vampire. Not that she wasn't one already. Fangs emerged. Then, Elizabeth was holding a ball of fire, which was getting bigger every second.

" Lizzie! what are you doing? Cut it out!" Stefan yelled, trying to get near her but could't since a massive heat wave was radiating from her. And it was hot enough to get him burn to dust.

" They. Killed. Aunt. Medeline, " Elizabeth repeated word by word.

" She did nothing and they killed her. Monster..they're monsters, " Elizabeth said through her teeth.

The wallpaper around her was dissolving. Flames swirled around her.

" Elizabeth, stop! You have to take control of your power! "

" I can't stop.. Stefan, help." Tears were on her cheeks.

Stefan rushed out of the room and stood infront of the doorway because the wall was now burning. He changed the setting of the anti-vampire gun and then aimed at Elizabeth. He didn't want to do it but he had to since Lizzie was about to burn the whole room. The bullet hit Elizabeth and all the flame dissappeared. She fell lifelessly to the floor.

Stefan instantly rushed towards her and lift her up. Elena then appeared on the doorway. She stared at the burnt room.

" What happened here? I just woke up and I sensed fire. And where's aunt Me.. " She didn't continue as she saw a a corpse on the bed. Which didn't look like it anymore since it was now black coloured and most part of the body turned into ashes. But she knew and immediately covered her mouth.

" No time to expain. We have to go. Get the car key, " Stefan replied, trying to get control of his voice.

Charlie couldn't stop thinking. He could feel Danae's presence but.. it was impossible. And this Elizabeth Davenport, she was her descent. She inherited Danae's power. It was obvious of how powerful she was. Or could it be she was Danae herself? But Danae was locked up long time ago and it was impossi-

" Sir! We found her! Meredith see her!" One of the member of the council emerged from the door cutting through Charlie's thoughts.

Meredith was an old vampire from Belgium. She was very useful to the council since she could locate anyone in a second. It was her ability to see anyone's location everytime she closed her eyes. But in Elizabeth case, before this, she could never locate her. She didn't know why but everytime she was looking for Elizabeth, she only saw a blur image. And she seldoms get blurry image. Actually, she never did. Now finally, Meredith finally caught sight of her.

Meredith entered Charlie's room with her eyes shut and walk towards the nearest sofa. It was as if she could see where she was going." It's hard to see where she is.. but. She was using her power and the power seemed to.. I dont know. Struck an image to me or something. Just now, she was in a room. Everything was burning. The walls. Smoke everywhere. But now, no more. She's.. in a car at the back. " Meredith was shivering and sweating. " Image.. getting blurry. A.. girl beside her. With dark brown hair. A guy in front driving. He's driving towards an airport in..." Then, Meredith's eyelids fluttered open.

Charlie looked at her waiting for another clue of where Elizabeth was.

" I'm sorry, sir. I can't see anything anymore. The power in her seemed to lessen and somehow I can't connect with her. The image is blurry, just like before, " Meredith said sadly, blinking her eyes several times.

" How about the person she was with? Can't you see them?"

Meredith shook her head.

Charlie frowned. " How come you couldn't see those persons she's with? Who might they be.. " he trailed off. "Airport.. She must be going somewhere far probably. " He was talking to himself now.

Meredith only nodded. Sweat was dripping from her face.

" You can go. Thank you for your help, " Charlie bowed at the old vampire.

Charlie took his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. " Search her in every airport now in every country before we loose track of her."

She wore a long black robe that glittered with her every movement. Underneath that robe, she wore a shimmery little black dress, belted around her slim waist by a black leather belt. Held in place by the belt was a silver dagger that glinted in the moonlight. She also wore a pair of black metallic boots, the kind you could only get off Christian Louboutin's runway. Her fiery red hair blew around her in the cold night breeze.

Heather smiled to herself under the full moon.

" And you thought you could run from me, Elizabeth Davenport."
