Halo
The tune was catchy. A little too soft for his taste but it said so many things he wanted to say. He thought of who he could ask to perform the song , but to suit his style.
A few bands came to mind. He would have to ask his child to set it up and see who was available. He smiled as he thought of Pamela. Such a good child, still at times needed a firm hand even after all these years together.
He never regretted turning her from the minute he saw her. She was way beyond her years, stuck in a time where she would have never been appreciated. She was full of fire and had a mind if her own. He respected her spirit and though at times he had to bend that spirit to his will, he never broke it. It was because of this that she stayed with him long after he has released her.
His thoughts strayed to Sookie.
In all his years he had never been with such a woman. He always believed that his keen survival instincts were what brought him into this day and age. He never kept any weakness near, not out of fear but out of intelligence.
He had never bonded to a human before. Where was the intelligence in that? There were very few who were even deemed worthy as a companion, but to bond with one?
Now looking back at his many years of existence perhaps there was an outside force at work. He was never one to believe in fate, you simply existed. There was no path that was predestined.
Yet when he looked at her face and felt a stirring in his black soul, he wondered if he was wrong.
