Dallas (Part II)

The darkness settled on Dallas leaving on the moon and the stars shining down on the remains of the house. The pillow case lay in the middle of the circle I was in the process of creating, laying each candle a few feet apart on the back lawn, lighting them one by one as I went. 

Mark and Sadie looked on with a silent anticipation.  It had been a long afternoon, explaining the details of our arrangement to Sadie so that she fully understood our livelihood was at stake here.  Mark’s impatience with Sadie could be stressful at times, he expected her to grow up quickly and brutally the way we had to even though she willfully left her family to come stay with us.  She was different all together from us and it was something he was slowly realizing.  It was hard to tell if she was a Werewolf or not, it was quite possible that she was only half and would never come to know the pull of the moon or the freedom of running through the wounds chasing after your prey, unstoppable.

All the excitement of the last few days had left me little time to think of @GavinMirdir or the terrible shape my heart was in—or the recent discovery I was even capable of loving.  I had even less time to think of @RasulTB and the bond we shared, I could only hope he had yet to consider removing the bond so that if this spell pointed to his fiery little demon, @DemonXDiantha. I could be sure to find her through him and wait until the perfect moment to bind her magic and watch her burn for all the times she burned someone or something. Startled from my thought as the wax from the candle dripped onto my hand and I smiled, my sharp white teeth gleaming in the darkness.

I motioned for Sadie and Mark to join me and they approached slowly, stepping into the circle of candles locking their hands in each of mine our bodies surrounding the pillowcase, the candle light flickering and revealing the tattered thread.  I took a deep breath, inhaling the night air before I began to speak, Sadie and Mark joining in and the tones of our voice rising and falling rhythmically.

That which was ours, by the laws of three                                                And now is lost, let return to me.

That which was ours, by the laws of three
And now is lost, let return to me.

That which was ours, by the laws of three
And now is lost, let return to me.

As I have spoke so mote it be.

I opened my eyes slowly, as the traces of light appeared and I began following it, Mark on my heels matching my pace.  I follow the tracers down the street, realizing after a few twist and turns that I was heading closer and closer to the Silent Shore Hotel, bursting into a sprint as I found the light leading me straight to the hotel.  I stopped at the edge of the parking lot, gazing up at the hotel.  Almost disappointed I wouldn’t get to burn the demon bitch for this.. then I had an epiphany as I gazed at the customers pouring into and out of the dark entrance.  The light.. the sun.. it was perfect. They could all burn for this.. not just the Demon, I’d deal with her later, but every single vampire who aided Godric.. and him especially I should have killed him, I should have staked him when I had the chance. A sinister smile spreading across my face as Mark stopped next to me, “They can all burn.. tomorrow.. I’ll KILL them all.”  I burst into maniacal laughter as my dear brothers eyes widened and the dark smile I’ve come to love matched my own.
