Baz
I couldn't get to him fast enough.
The Mage is angry, I can see it. I always told Simon he was bad, but now I don't care about being right. Simon is dead before I reach him.
Rage boils inside of me and tears stream down my cheeks as I watch my world fall to the ground.
"This is your fault!" I shout at him, hugging Simon's- no, Simon, to me.
Ebb, the goatherd is dead as well, but I can't find it in myself to care right now.
I want him gone. I want him to know what i'm feeling. I want him to suffer. I want to see justice.
I don't need magick, I'm going to drain him.
Before I even realize it, my fangs are embedded in his neck. Usually I control myself, but I don't care anymore. I don't think I could control myself if I tried. I've never had Human blood before and it's so good and I can't get enough.
After I kill him, I'll meet Simon in the Afterlife.
If I can.
By fire, that's how I'm going. The smell of smoke will remind me of him and besides, I won't even feel it. I'm that flammable.
Maybe I'll cremate his body first. I think he would like that.
"Baz!" bunce yells, shaking my shoulder. "He's gone. Let him go. He's dead!"
I drop him and spit on his corpse.
Silently, I pick up Simon (Bunce picks up Ebb) and leave the tower. I don't remember how. Bunce casts a spell, I think.
I don't bother to hide my feelings when everyone see us. It no longer matters.
At first they think I killed him, but then it clicks and they're all giving me sympathy I don't want.
I want Simon back.
Simon
I'm dead.
That much I can tell.
I'm on the other side of the veil with Lucy and Ebb. With mom and Ebb.
She explained everything. All the love I once felt for the Mage is gone. He was my father and he did what he did anyways. His name was Davy.
We're wandering the foggy nothingness, hand in hand, when the veil opens to deliver another soul.
I gasp and rush forwards to envelop it in a hug.
Baz is crying, a large smile on his face. He looks like a god in his black suit and his skin is darker. (Is it because he's not a Vampire anymore?) "I'm sorry Simon. I couldn't wait."
"I know."
He tells me what happened and I'm pretty sure The Mage did more damage to him than to me.
I'm glad he isn't here.
His mom looks from me to Baz then laughs.
"You aren't upset?" he asks, getting to his feet.
She shakes her head. "Of course not Tyrannus. I can see what he means to you."
"I'm sorry I didn't kill myself when I should have."
Natasha's face turned dark. "Don't you say 't you dare say that."
It's her turn to hug him.
Maye this was always how it was supposed to end.
Baz had told me that he'd look at me sometimes and think, "This will end in flames."
He was right, I guess.
