"Ava?" Claudia called her attention when Ava didn't answer her.
"Huh?"
"I said, can I see the concoction?" Claudia asked again.
"Ava, can I talk to you?" Ryder asked as he entered the kitchen.
Ava looked at him in gratitude.
"Of course babe." she said quickly.
"I will see you later Claudia." Ava said as she grabbed Ryder's arm and pulled him away from the kitchen.
Claudia looked at their retreating backs and smiled to herself. It was interesting how Ava had been startled and nervous when she asked to see the contents of the flask. The flask must definitely contain blood or something related to vampires.
She just had to find a way to get that flask and expose its contents to everyone.

Ava pulled Ryder into the study and shut the door.
"Why are you pulling me in such a haste?" Ryder asked her.
"It's Claudia." Ava answered.
"What do you mean? What did she do?" Ryder asked in confusion.
