AN: I was going to leave this a one shot but considering I got 3 reviews in under 24 hours which is a first for me, I present to you more...

There will be atleast one more part maybe two if I get anymore ideas. Enjoy!


Forgiveness. That one word had so much meaning, yet at the same time none at all. Do people really forgive? They may say they do, but in reality? He has seen humans "forgive", knew that in the long run the word did not mean much; sometimes the actions that followed did not either.

With Vampires, forgiveness is nothing; it means nothing since most get revenge for wrongs done to them. That and killing on a daily bases really isn't good for the whole "you're forgiven" process. But Vamps are not human; they have a different view on what's right and what's wrong and the whole 'moral' code does not apply to them, least of all to those centuries old.


Mick St. John, Private Investigator and 85 year old vampire, stood on his roof. Beth had just left and a part of him rejoiced in what had happened between them. In a way they were officially together, he just had to accept it.

Mick looked down on his part of L.A-he never really had just looked at this view before, it was striking, something only a Vampire could truly sense.

Vampire. That one word used to have the power to ruin Mick's day. How he hated who he had become, the monster he saw himself as. But now.

Now.

This was not fifty years ago, he had not been turned against his will, unprepared like with Coraline. No, he had chosen this. Chosen to be turned by the one he saw as his best friend his brother-even if they had never said the words.

The look on Josef's face when Mick had asked the impossible of him shocked him. That was the first time Mick new that Josef did care that he did not want Mick to lose the one thing he had wanted for decades over a girl.

So he was a Vampire again, at the moment staring out over L.A on his roof, with a picnic spread out behind him.


Never before had he reveled in the powers being a Vampire gave him. No, he had always hated them for what they had stood for, for what it meant he had become.

Now as he made his way through the city, just thinking about what had happened, he reveled in them, jumped from roof to roof as he felt the air around him.

Mick sighed as he thought about what he was doing and why he could do it.

Forgiveness. It was a word that Mick always hated because so few actually meant it, least of all Vampires. He knew he would never forgive Coraline for what she had done to him, for the monster she had turned him into.

But now after what happened with Beth these last few months, especially in the last day he knew he had changed. After the fight, after the picnic just hours ago he knew he was different. That this time it would be different. Mick realized that he had come to accept his Vampire qualities especially since having them and being said Vamp helped him save Beth, His Beth.

He had Josef to thank for that, to thank for Turning him back into a thing that for fifty plus years he had hated. But he did not blame Josef; he had asked his friend to do the impossible after all.

And Josef had. Nor did he blame him for what had happened. Now Mick knew that despite his facade Josef would be worried that through his actions he lost the one person he had let get close to him in years.

Mick did not want to lose that friendship either despite some of his friends' tendencies he would miss him.

So Mick would forgive him, and he would mean it because he had asked for this asked to be Turned back to save the woman he loved and he was honored that it had been Josef that Turned him. He also knew that some of that acceptance came from the fact that with Josef as his 'second sire', he did not have Coraline taunting him for how he had acted as a Vamp, Josef accepted his ways even though he did not necessarily like them.

So he would forgive Josef, offer forgiveness despite the fact he had asked because he knew Josef would not accept anything less. He just hoped Josef knew that.


AN: How was it??
