A group of people were standing in front the entrance to the Greyshaw Mansion. Apparently waiting for something.

Three silhouettes stepped out from between the woods.

Susan ran past the group, "Jonas? what are you doing here? And who are...?"

Susan looked at the two horny looking people behind Jonas and took a step back, "A High Vampire?"

Jonas sighed, 'Right I haven't told her yet..'

"Don't worry Aunt Susan, they are under my control."

"Under your control? How is that even possible?" Said Susan in disbelief.

"Just like Michael, I was born different, I'm an Incubus."

Susan stared at Jonas, she had never heard that term before.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I only became aware of it after Michael told me." Answered Jonas.

Everyone turned to the bare chested Michael.

He only shrugged, "I know a few things about supernatural beings." Said Michael indeferrently.

Michael turned to Jonas, "So you made turned them into your playthings?"

Jonas smiled, "Yeah, it worked just like you said."

Michael nodded, "Good, I'm sure that they have some interesting informations, let's continue in the mansion."

The group entered the Grayshaw Mansion, settling down at the living room. They all looked at the both vampires who were standing in the middle.

"What are you names and status?" Asked Jonas

"Yes Master, my name is Gianluca Verde Pazzini, I'm the second son of Leonardo Verde Pazzini."

"Master~, my name is Lara Ruiz, I'm Gianluca's Blood Vampire."

"Ask them about the vampire ranks." Said Michael.

"What ranks exist in the vampire community?"

"Master, the lowest rank are Blood Servants, they are still more or less human. Then there are Blood Vampires like Lara, they are fully turned vampires. Above them are the High Vampires like myself. Then there exist the Royal Vampires, the last rank is Ancient Vampire, with the exception of our Progenitor." Explained Gianluca obediently.

"Hmm what is the difference between the Sanguine Council and the Fallen?" Asked Michael.

"You heard his question, answer it." Said Jonas.

"Yes Master, the Fallen are vampires under the rule of our Progenitor, and the Sanguine Council is ruled by the most powerful vampire." Answered Gianluca.

"Wait, what? Shouldn't the Progenitor be the strongest?"

Gianluca shook his head, "He was, until the Blood Warlock appeared, around 900 years ago. The Progenitor has since then been suppressed by the Blood Warlock."

Everyone took a deep breath, digesting all the information.

"What do you know about that Blood Warlock?"

"He was a Warlock and somehow tricked the Progenitor to turn him into a vampire, that was thousands of years ago. He vanished afterwards, only appearing around 900 years ago, creating the today known Sanguine Council. The Ancient Vampires of the Sanguine Council are all able to use Blood Magic. They hunted down the most loyal follower of the Progenitor, ending his supreme rule about 700 years ago."

Michael fell into deep thoughts, "The Blood Warlock was a real Warlock in the past, is that the reason why the three great circles allow the Sanguine Council to stay in their territory?"

"I don't know, I just know to never mess with the circles, the Sanguine Council will not help any vampire family if they break that rule."

Michael turned to Susan, "Did you know any of it?"

"Only some parts, I know that we allow the Sanguine Council to catch the rouge witches that resist us. I don't know what happens to them once they are catched."

"Wow, there seems to be a lot more to the Sanguine Council and that Blood Warlock." Said Odette.

"What is the name of the Blood Warlock and where does he live?"

"Master, his name is a taboo, I can only reveal his first name without dying."

"Oh? Then tell."

"His first name is Roland, he lives in Germany from what I know."

"Germany again....I need to get Dino and the others out of there!" Said Michael to himself.

"Wait a moment, what do you mean? Are you talking about little Dino, your cousin?" Asked Anna with a sharp voice.

"Yes he is one of us and has his own pack in Germany."

"What? How could you! He is my sisters only son." Anna became angry.

Michael scratched his head, "He wanted to be a werewolf."

Anna glared angrily at him, "We will talk about it later young man!"

Michael shrank back.

"Well the two of you will be our eyes and ears inside the vampire world, you will head back tomorrow and tell them that you found witches from the Northern Chaos Circle, that should stop them from coming here." Ordered Jonas.

Lara seemed to struggle, Jonas saw it, "What is it?"

"Master~, I was ordered to kill Gianluca at any cost." Confessed Lara.

Gianluca turned confused to her, "What are you talking about, it was me who turned you into a vampire, you should be absolut loyal to me."

"Yes it is true but I met Mauri first, he ordered me to gain your trust and wait for his orders. He ordered me to kill you here, you shouldn't leave Palmer Falls alive."

"That dirty son of a b*tch! I will kill him and his wh*re from mother! I will..." Gianluca became quite mad.

"Calm down!" Ordered Jonas.

A purple light flared up inside Gianluca's pupils, calming him down.

"I'm sorry Master."

"It's alright, hm your brother is a cunning fellow. Are you able to come up with a story how you broke his control over her?" Asked Jonas.

"Yes Master I can do that." Answered Gianluca.

"Good."

The bright room became darker, the lights seemed to lose their luster. Everyone looked at Michael.

The darkness started to gather around him.

"We have been too sloppy, we shouldn't have been found out in the first place. That is my fault. We will change from now on. Susan you will handle the matter about Elder Pelion and everything that has to do with the Nother. Chaos Circle."

Susan wanted to say something but swallowed her words back when she saw Michael's pitch black eyes staring at her.

"Next is the thing with the vampires, Jonas you will handle it, try to gain more vampire spies."

Jonas nodded.

Michael turned to Odette, "You will tell Unknown about everything, and tell them to be prepared, I will need their help in the next days. It will be a huge project that will decide over our survival and what comes after it."

Odette gulped while nodding.

There was something about Michael that had changed they all felt it.

"Mum you will get our german family member out of there, they need to live here with us under our protection."

"Sure."

Michael looked around all the faces, "We have a lot of work to do!"
