trailer where Catherine was.
     
      He was back in no time and had her in his arms determined no one was going to get her or his child.
     
      Mary looked on impressed with his protectiveness. She was in good hands and she had made the right decision in letting Catherine go. She worried what may have happened if she had kept her the night Samuel arrived. There was no way she would have been able to protect Catherine against Samuel’s powers. At least here Mary was reassured by the powers of Mathias, Tobias and the rest of their community.
     
      “He can’t take me, Tobias, don’t worry,” said Catherine, not fully believing her words herself. She had no recollections of Samuel and therefore did not know what to expect with regards to his personality and capabilities. One thing was certain to
     
    Catherine and that was that Samuel wanted her but she had no intention of going. To leave Tobias would be the end of her world. Her heart ached for Tobias and if it had not been for him she knew she could not have made the transition so easily into this new unknown vampire world she had found herself in.
     
      The trailer began to fill up at a steady pace with different members of the community whispering amongst themselves as to what was to be done and how Catherine could  be  safeguarded from Samuel. The circus was due to start in a few hours and a majority of the people where needed for it to go ahead. Also, a lot of the vampires had not eaten for days and needed to be fed. They had a girl to be sacrificed tonight.
     
    Without her blood the vampires would not have the strength to do anything.
     
    Mathias managed to select a few which he thought could be spared for the night and asked them to guard the outside of the trailer. He provided them with a bag of blood to make up for the blood of the virgin they would miss out on tonight and give them some extra added strength. Mary would remain in the trailer for her own safety along with Catherine and Tobias.
     
      Mathias had to oversee the show, but would use it as a lookout and dash back whenever he could between intervals.
     
      “Mathias, I am not part of the show having just come back. Why don’t you put me on guard too?” said Joseph who appeared from behind a group of vampires and had not been noticed before by Mathias.
     
      “Thank you Joseph this is very kind of you” said Mathias and patted Joseph on the shoulder.
     
     
     
      “Right, we are ready,” continued Mathias “Tobias, have your wits about you,” he ordered and left the trailer, followed by numerous other vampires. The ones who had been put on guard stepped outside, but remained close to the trailer.
     
      “Tobias, I will go and do a perimeter check and see if I can see anything and then come back and continue to guard,” smiled Joseph.
     
      “Thank you, that’s very kind of you,” said Catherine, upon Tobias’ refusal to reply and noticed him staring intently at Joseph.
     
      “Tobias, what is the matter. He is only trying to help. I know you are worried but you don’t have to be so rude,” begged Catherine.
     
      “Mary,” called Tobias, completely ignoring Catherine “You said you think there was a traitor amongst us.”
     
      “Yes,” replied Mary, “Samuel was aware of Catherine’s change. Someone had clearly been aware of the situation here and reported back to Samuel. There was no other way he could possibly know. Someone had to have told him. The only other was if he had been spying on the circus himself, but that is not the case as he had no idea where the circus was when he came to see me.”
     
    “But that is impossible,” said Tobias “Our community sticks together. No one leaves ever, apart to feed. Everyone stays together. Apart from …”
     
    Before Tobias could finish his sentence he leapt to his feet and ran from the trailer.
     
      “Stay by her side, Mary” he screamed before dashing out and telling the vampires outside to draw
