Snippet #1842462

Zach starred at Lilith for the longest time, trying to figure out what to say next. He didn’t really like Callen stepping in on this conversation, but he didn’t have the right to outright say anything. He managed to say something just as Lilith began to walk away. “It was me”
“What?” Lilith turned around looking directly at Zach.
“It was entirely my fault, I started the fight and I must face the consequences of my own actions.” He said, quoting something Mina had told him, a long time ago when he broke his mother’s good china.
“You Zachariah?” Lilith chucked gently, “You started the fight?”
“Yes,” Zach said in a serious tone.
Lilith looked at him and frowned, “I’ll need to talk to my brother about this, but I suspect you should expect a demerit, Zachariah”
“Of course” Zach sighed, feeling like it didn’t make any real difference him already had a few demerits on his record, what was one more anyway?

Verona stood in the back of the hall, as her love made his speech. She applauded him nobly and smiled fiercely. For the last two months she had been hiding in the sewer in the nearby village, it was disgusting but not nearly the worst she had endured. Her beloved son stood beside her, stopping anyone who thought that could leave the great hall. Verona took little notice of what her son was doing and put all her attention to her husband whom she never let her eyes part from. It was to her shook of her sisters, Marishka and Aleera standing beside their beloved. Why wasn’t she with him? She asked herself, she has been loyal ten times as long as they have. Why are they at his side and not her? It made little sense, she clutched her fists fiercely. Wasn’t she was the one who brought him back both times, and wasn’t she in fact the one who gave him his powers? This was like an insult to her.
She started to walk of her son following at heel, “mother?” he asked questioning her loyalty to his father. “What are you doing?”

“I cannot stay here” she responded, as a scream echoed from the room and she took her son’s cheek and said silently. “Go my son, go feed you need your strength.” Her son turned around and headed back to the hall, wail Verona walked on in a slightly pissed mood. Has her love forgotten his path, has he forgotten her part in everything he’s done. Place Mariska and Aleera at his side was the last straw, she was go after a bigger fish now. Forget Mina Harker, she was going after The Five.

Mina woke up screaming in her bedchamber; perhaps she had gone to be too early for the younger generation but one must remember she is over one hundred years old, and had started to take a liking to sleeping much earlier then she once did. “He’s back!” she whimpered knowing she had to tell Lucas.
