"And the damn girl is unconscious." Camelia sighed. "I might have to do this the hard way." She shook her head.

Alicia groaned as she woke up, she rubbed her eyes. She sighed, "Its not my fault I got thrown out of the room." She slowly stood up and walked into the doorway. "How were you two able to enter but I wasn't?" She leaned on the door frame and looked at Camelia.

Camelia looked at Alicia, "Well no offense to you but me and Solomon are powerful, and you are not." She looked to Solomon. "Solomon is 575 years old, I will be 428 years old on December 26th. Me and him have a combined age of 1,002 years. And in total the combined power of the whole American vampire council." She grinned. "You on the other hand have about the power of a 100 year old. Only because your soul says your pure and you were turned by an Augustin." She looked back at the books. "Now be a dear and go and get any books that Holden would have in hiding places." She waved Alicia away. "And take some of Holden's blood, you'll need it to enter that room." She pointed to the blood pool on the desk.

Alicia was taken aback at how much power started to roll off of Camelia. She nodded, "Yes mistress Camelia." She quickly ran to the desk and put her hand in Holden's blood. She ran out of the room and went to the basement.

"Good girl." Camelia went back to scanning the books.

Suddenly Felix appeared, slightly flustered. "Two things, what the hell? you told me you were 128. And your damn council has been hounding my ass because you left in the middle of a meeting." He showed Camelia his multiple lashes.

Camelia quickly turned around, "So sorry darling." She placed her hand on Felix's cheek and healed his wounds. "Can you ever forgive me?" She placed a gentle kiss on Felix's lips.

"Yes I can sweet pea, but I really hate that you got that power to control people's emotions." Felix said in a small huff. "Just don't be much longer, ok?" With that he disappeared.

Camelia smiled when Felix left, "Sorry you had to hear that kind of language from my Felix. But when he gets angry, he curses a lot." She giggled as she went back to the books.

Alicia made it to the wall and drew the same circle on it that Holden did before. The bricks crumbled and she entered the code, she knew all of Holden's hiding spots. She walked into the room and went to the 'hidden' door and she pulled out two books. She ran her hands over both of them.

Suddenly Holden's eyes sprang open and he clenched his stomach. Suddenly his nose started to bleed and he fell back into unconsciousness.

"Looks like she found one." She made the book appear in Holden's blood pool.

Alicia put the remaining book back and left the room. She shivered as the bricks rebuilt. "One more spot to look." She disappeared and landed in front of the hidden weapons cabinet. She opened it and started pulling out all of the weapons, when she reached the wall she smirked. "So predictable Holden." She wrapped TK around the wall and pulled it away. She found only one book, and she started to rub it again.

Holden cried out in pain as his arms and legs snapped through the skin. He started to seize...

Camelia made the other book appear in the room, "Now I know that is all of them. And Alicia did all of the work for me." She walked back over to Holden who had stopped seizing. "This is going to be more painful Holden, and for that I am sorry." She twirled the knife in her hand as she grabbed Holden's other hand. She put his hand on the books and stabbed the knife into it again. She did what she did before, but this time the books didn't fly off of the desk. They burned Holden's flesh right off of his hand. "Damn it!" She removed his hand as she fell to her knees again. She healed the burn as best as she could, she was low on power now. "Solomon... Take him to rest. But be weary three blood bonds broken in one day... He..." She felt light headed. "You might have to turn him now..." Camelia trailed off as she fell backwards.

Felix appeared and caught Camelia, his wrist was already cut as he put it to her mouth. "Just rest now my sweet." With that Felix and Camelia disappeared.
