"Welcome back to the shadows Barnabas," she looked down at him, "I've missed you."

Angelique strutted out of the room as Victoria was walking down the hall, headed into Barnabas's room. Angelique's smirked face turned appalled when she seen Victoria for the first time. Her eyes reflected a mysterious awareness, as her fingers curled up, making her hands resemble claws at her side. Victoria slips her eyes to the corner of them to catch a glimpse of the mysterious woman walking aside of her, but when she tries to glance at her; Angelique is now down the hall turning the corner.

"Victoria," She hears his voice as she walks through the threshold, Barnabas was now coming to his feet, backing away from the sunlight.

Victoria crosses the room into the light and sees Barnabas glaring hatefully at the window. "Would you like me to pull the shade?"

"Yes, thank you", he breaths out. Barnabas's shoulders relax as she closes the curtains

"So", she holds her hands in front of her, locking them together, "who was the woman who came out of the room earlier."

"An old friend," he said wearily.
